Abụ Ọma 18
1 Abụ ọma Devid. Abụ Devid ohu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụụrụ Onyenwe anyị okwu niile nke abụ a mgbe Onyenwe anyị napụtara ya site nʼaka ndị iro ya niile, nakwa nʼaka Sọl. Ọ sịrị: O Onyenwe anyị, ahụrụ m gị nʼanya, gị bụ ike m.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said, I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
2 Onyenwe anyị bụ oke nkume m, na ebe mgbaba m e wusiri ike, na onye nnapụta m. Chineke m bụ oke nkume m, onye m gbabara nʼime ya. Ọ bụ ọta m, na mpi nzọpụta m, na oke nkume m nke onye ọbụla na-apụghị ịba nʼime ya.
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3 Akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị, onye e kwesiri inye otuto, ọ zọpụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 Ụdọ niile nke ọnwụ kere m agbụ; ịchị ọkụ nke mbibi ọjọọ kpuchiri m.
The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
The bands of Sheol surrounded me, the cords of death encountered me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Nʼọnọdụ oke mkpagbu m, akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị; etiri m mkpu akwa, kpọkuo Chineke m ka o nyere m aka; akwa m rutekwara ya ntị, o sitekwara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ya nụ olu m.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.
7 Ụwa mere mkpọtụ, maa jijiji, ntọala niile nke ugwu niile makwara jijiji, ha mara jijiji nʼihi iwe nke na-ewe ya.
Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
8 Anwụrụ ọkụ sitere ya nʼimi pụta, ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa sikwa nʼọnụ ya pụta; icheku ọkụ na-ere ọkụ sitekwara nʼebe ahụ nwupụta.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
9 O kewara mbara eluigwe, rịdata; oke igwe ojii dịkwa nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya.
And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
10 Ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu cherubim felie elu, o feliri elu nʼelu nku nke ifufe.
And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
11 O mere ọchịchịrị ebe nzuzo ya, ihe mkpuchi nke gbara ya gburugburu, bụ ọchịchịrị mmiri igwe ojii nke mbara eluigwe.
He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 Site nʼìhè nke na-enwupụta nʼahụ ya, igwe ojii ji mkpụrụ mmiri na amụma egbe eluigwe gabiga.
From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
13 Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe bigbọọ; olu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu dara ụda.
And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
14 Ọ gbara àkụ ya, mee ka ndị iro gbasasịa, o jikwa oke amụma nke egbe eluigwe chụsaa ha.
And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 E kpughere ala ala nke oke osimiri, gbakwa ntọala niile nke ụwa ọtọ, site nʼịba mba gị, O Onyenwe anyị, na nkuume si gị nʼimi pụta.
And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 O sitere nʼelu setịpụ aka ya, jidesie m aka ike, ọ dọpụtara m site nʼogbu mmiri niile.
He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
17 Ọ napụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m dị ike, bụ ndị kpọrọ m asị, ndị dịkwa ike karịa m.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
18 Ha guzogidere m nʼụbọchị ihe ndakwasị m, ma Onyenwe anyị bụrụ m ihe ndabere.
They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
19 Ọ kpọpụtara m gaa nʼebe sara mbara, ọ napụtara m nʼihi na ihe m na-atọ ya ụtọ.
And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Onyenwe anyị mesoro m dịka ezi omume m si dị; ọ kwụghachiri m dịka ịdị ọcha nke aka m si dị.
Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 Nʼihi na edebezuola m ụzọ niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ikpe amaghị m nʼihi ịgbakụta Chineke azụ.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Iwu ya niile dị nʼihu m, esibekwaghị m nʼụkpụrụ ya wezuga onwe m.
For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;
23 Abụ m onye na-enweghị ịta ụta nʼihu ya, edebekwara m onwe m pụọ na mmehie.
And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Onyenwe anyị kwụghachiri m dịka ezi omume m si dị, dịka ịdị ọcha nke aka m abụọ si dị nʼanya ya.
And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 Nʼebe onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nọ, i na-egosi onwe gị onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, nʼebe onye zuruoke nọ, ị na-egosi onwe gị onye zuruoke.
With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
26 Nʼebe onye dị ọcha nọ, ị na-egosi onwe gị onye dị ọcha, ma nye ndị ụzọ ha na-ezighị ezi, ị na-egosi onwe gị dịka onye dị aghụghọ.
With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
27 Ị na-azọpụta ndị dị umeala nʼobi, ma ị na-eme ka ndị nwere anya mpako dị ala.
For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
28 Ọ bụ gị, Onyenwe anyị, na-eme ka oriọna m na-enwu, Chineke m na-eme ka ọchịchịrị m ghọọ ìhè.
For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
29 Site nʼinyeaka gị, apụrụ m ịlụso igwe ndị agha ọgụ, sitekwa na Chineke m, apụkwara m ịwụfe mgbidi ọbụla.
For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 Ma banyere Chineke, ụzọ ya zuruoke, okwu ọnụ Onyenwe anyị bụ ihe a nụchara anụcha; ọ bụ ọta nke onye ọbụla na-ezo onwe ya nʼokpuru ya.
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
31 Nʼihi na onye bụ Chineke, ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị? Onye bụkwa oke Nkume ahụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke anyị?
For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
32 Ọ bụ Chineke na-enye m ike, na-echebekwa ụzọ m nʼizuoke.
The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
33 Ọ na-eme ka ụkwụ m dị gara gara, dịka nke nne ele; Ọ na-emekwa ka m kwụrụ chịm nʼebe niile dị elu.
Who maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places;
34 Ọ na-azụ aka m abụọ ibu agha, ogwe aka m abụọ pụrụ ịrọji ụta bronz.
Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;
35 Ị na-eme ka inyeaka nke nzọpụta gị bụrụ ọta m, aka nri gị na-akwagidekwa m, inyeaka gị emeela m ka m dị ukwuu.
And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
36 Ị na-edozi ụzọ sara mbara nye ụkwụ, ka nkwonkwo ụkwụ m ghara ịgbụchapụ.
Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
37 Achụrụ m ndị iro m ọsọ, jidekwa ha; alaghachighị m azụ tutu ruo mgbe ha niile lara nʼiyi.
I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
38 Etidara m ha nʼala ebe ha enwekwaghị ike ibilite. Ha dara nʼokpuru ụkwụ m.
I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
39 Ọ bụ gị nyere m ike ibu agha, i wedara ndị niile na-emegide m nʼala nʼihu m.
And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
40 I mere ka ndị iro m tụgharịa gbapụ ọsọ. Ebibikwara m ndị kpọrọ m asị.
And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
41 Ha bere akwa maka enyemaka, ma ọ dịghị onye na-azọpụta ha. Ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ zaghị ha.
They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
42 Egwepịara m ha nke ọma dịka ntụ nke ikuku na-ebufu; a zọtọrọ m ha dịka apịtị nke okporoụzọ.
And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43 Ị napụtala m site nʼaka ndị na-alụso m ọgụ ị meela m onyeisi nke ọtụtụ mba; ndị m na-amaghị na mbụ na-ejekwara m ozi.
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
44 Ndị ala ọzọ na-ehulata nʼihu m nʼihi egwu, ngwangwa ha nụrụ olu m, ha na-erube isi nye m.
At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.
45 Obi na-ada ha mba; ha na-ama jijiji mgbe ha na-esite nʼebe niile ha e wusiri ike na-apụta.
Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.
46 Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ! Otuto dịrị oke nkume m! Mbuli elu dịrị Chineke, Onye nzọpụta m.
Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,
47 Ọ bụ Chineke ahụ onye na-abọrọ m ọbọ, onye na-emekwa ka mba dị iche iche nọrọ nʼokpuru m,
The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;
48 onye na-anapụta m site nʼaka ndị iro m. I mere ka m dị elu karịa ndị iro, napụtakwa m site nʼaka nwoke na-eme ihe ike.
Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
49 Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị, aga m eto gị nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche, aga m abụku aha gị abụ otuto.
Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
50 Ọ na-enye eze ya mmeri dị ukwuu; Ọ na-egosikwa onye ya onye e tere mmanụ ịhụnanya na-adịghị ada ada, nye Devid na ndị agbụrụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
[It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
