Abụ Ọma 146

1 Toonu Onyenwe anyị. O mkpụrụobi m, too Onyenwe anyị.

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.

While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Atụkwasịla ụmụ eze obi gị, ndị bụ mmadụ efu na-apụghị ịzọpụta.

Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

4 Mgbe mmụọ ha pụrụ, ha na-alaghachi nʼaja; nʼụbọchị ahụ, atụmatụ ha na-aghọ ihe efu.

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God,

6 Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa, na osimiri, na ihe niile dị nʼime ha, Onyenwe anyị, onye ikwesi ntụkwasị obi ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

7 Ọ na-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi nye ndị a na-akpagbu na-enyekwa ndị agụụ na-agụ nri. Onyenwe anyị na-eme ka ndị nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nwere onwe ha,

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.

8 Onyenwe anyị na-emeghe anya ndị kpuru ìsì, Onyenwe anyị na-akwagide ndị niile dara mba, Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ndị ezi omume niile nʼanya.

Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.

Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

10 Onyenwe anyị na-achị ruo ebighị ebi, Chineke gị, o Zayọn, site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.

Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
