Abụ Ọma 16
1 Abụ miktam nke Devid. Chebe m, O Chineke, nʼihi na nʼime gị ka m gbabara izere ndụ.
A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
2 A gwara m Onyenwe anyị, “Ị bụ Onyenwe m, e wezuga gị, enwekwaghị m ọdịmma ọbụla.”
I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
3 Ana m asị maka ndị nsọ bụ ndị nọ nʼala a, “Ha bụ ndị a na-asọpụrụ, ndị ihe ha nʼatọ m ụtọ.”
On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
4 Iru ụjụ nke ndị ahụ na-agbaso chi ndị ọzọ ga-aba ụba. Agaghị m eso ha wụsa aja ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbara nye chi ndị a, maọbụ were egbugbere ọnụ m kpọọ aha ha.
Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
5 Onyenwe anyị, i nyeela m oke m na iko m; ị na-elekọta ihe niile bụ nke m site nʼife nza.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
6 Ọtụtụ oke ala niile dabara m nʼebe dị ezi mma; nʼezie, e nwere m ihe nketa nke na-enye m ọṅụ.
The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
7 Aga m eto Onyenwe anyị, onye na-adụ m ọdụ; ọ bụladị nʼabalị, obi m na-agwa m ihe m ga-eme.
I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
8 Ana m elekwasị Onyenwe anyị anya mgbe niile. Ebe ọ nọ nʼaka nri m, agaghị m ama jijiji.
I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
9 Nʼihi nke a, obi dị m ụtọ, ire m jupụtakwara nʼọṅụ; aga m anọkwa nʼudo.
Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
10 Nʼihi na ị gaghị ahapụ m nʼala mmụọ, ị gaghị ekwekwa ka Onye gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi hụ ire ure. (Sheol h7585)
because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 I gosila m ụzọ ndụ; ị ga-eji ọṅụ mejupụta obi m nʼihu gị; ya na ihe ụtọ ndị dị nʼaka nri gị ruo ebighị ebi.
You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for ever.
