Abụ Ọma 146

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

Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

2 Aga m eto Onyenwe anyị ogologo ndụ m niile; aga m abụ abụ otuto nye Chineke m mgbe m nọ na-adị ndụ.

I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

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

Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

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

His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

5 Onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ, onye inyeaka ya bụ Chineke nke Jekọb, onye olileanya ya dị na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ya.

O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah 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.

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

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,

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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.

Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

9 Onyenwe anyị na-echebe ndị ọbịa, na-elekọtakwa ndị na-enweghị nna na ndị di ha nwụrụ anwụ, ma ọ na-eme ka ihe ghara ịgara ndị ajọ omume nke ọma.

Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

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

Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
