1 Toonu Onyenwe anyị! Ọ bụ ihe dị mma ịbụku Chineke anyị abụ otuto. Ọ bụ ihe na-eweta mmasị, bụrụkwa ihe ziri ezi ito ya!
Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise ye the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing; let praise be sweetly sung to our God.
2 Onyenwe anyị na-ewu Jerusalem: ọ na-akpọghachita ụmụ Izrel ndị a dọọrọ nʼagha gaa nʼala ọzọ.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; and he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

He numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.
5 Onyenwe anyị dị ukwuu, ike ya dịkwa ukwuu; nghọta ya enweghị nsọtụ.
Great is our Lord, and great is his strength; and his understanding is infinite.
6 Onyenwe anyị na-agba ndị dị umeala nʼobi ume ma ọ na-atụda ndị ajọ omume nʼala.
The Lord lifts up the meek; but brings sinners down to the ground.
7 Jirinụ ekele bụkuo Onyenwe anyị abụ; jirinụ ụbọ akwara kpọọrọ Chineke anyị egwu.
Begin [the song] with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God:
8 Ọ na-eji igwe ojii na-ekpuchi mbara eluigwe; ọ na-ewetara elu ụwa mmiri ozuzo na-eme ka ahịhịa puo nʼelu ugwu niile.
who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, [[and green herb for the service of men; ]]
9 Ọ na-enye ehi niile nri na-enyekwa ụmụ ugolọma nri mgbe ha na-ebeku ya akwa nʼihi nri.
and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10 Mmasị ya adịghị nʼike nke ịnyịnya, maọbụ nʼike ụkwụ nke mmadụ.
He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse; neither is he well-pleased with the legs of a man.
11 Onyenwe anyị na-enwe mmasị nʼebe ndị na-atụ egwu ya nọ, ndị olileanya ha dị na ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịghị agharịpụ.
The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear him, and in all that hope in his mercy.
12 O Jerusalem, jaa Onyenwe anyị mma; o Zayọn, too Chineke gị.
Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Sion.
13 Nʼihi na o wusiela mkpọrọ ọnụ ụzọ ama gị niile ike, na-agọzikwa ndị niile bi nʼime gị.
For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates; he has blessed thy children within thee.
14 Ọ na-eme ka oke ala gị nwee udo, jirikwa ọka wiiti kachasị mma nyejuo gị afọ.
He makes thy borders peaceful, and fills thee with the flour of wheat.
15 Ọ na-ezipụ iwu ya nʼelu ụwa niile; okwu ya na-agbasa ngwangwa.
He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
16 Ọ na-atụsa snoo nʼala dịka ajị anụ, na-efesasị igirigi snoo dịka ntụ.
He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.
17 Ọ na-atụdata mkpụrụ mmiri ya dị ka mkpụrụ okwute. Onye pụrụ iguzogide oke ifufe oyi ya?
Casting [forth] his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?
18 Ọ na-ezipụ okwu ya na-agbaze ha; ọ na-akpalịte ikuku ya mee ka mmiri bido ịsọgharị.
He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow [with] his wind, and the waters shall flow.
19 O kpugheela okwu ya nye Jekọb, iwu ya na ụkpụrụ ya niile nye Izrel.
He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.
20 O mesobeghị mba ọzọ ụdị mmeso dị otu a. Ha amakwaghị iwu ya niile. Toonu Onyenwe anyị!
He has not done so to any [other] nation; and he has not shewn them his judgments.
