Abụ Ọma 22
1 Abụ Ọma dịrị onyeisi abụ. Nʼusoro olu abụ nke “Nne ele nke ụtụtụ.” Abụ Ọma Devid. Chineke m, Chineke m, gịnị mere i jiri hapụ m? Gịnị mere i ji nọ ebe dị anya ịzọpụta m, nʼebe dị anya site nʼịsụ ude m niile?
“To the chief musician upon Ayeleth-hashachar, a psalm of David.” My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from saving me, and from the words of my loud complaint?
2 O Chineke m, ana m akpọku gị nʼehihie, ma ị dịghị aza m, nʼabalị kwa, ma ọ dịghị izuike m nwere.
O my God! I call in the day-time, but thou answerest not; and in the night I find no rest.
3 Nʼezie, i nọ nʼocheeze gị dịka Onye ahụ dị Nsọ; ị bụ otuto ndị Izrel.
But thou art holy, O thou that dwellest amidst the praises of Israel.
4 Nna anyị ha tụkwasịrị gị obi; ha tụkwasịrị gị obi, ị zọpụtakwara ha.
In thee did our fathers trust: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5 Ha kpọkuru gị si otu a bụrụ ndị a zọpụtara; ihere emeghị ha nʼihi na ha tụkwasịrị gị obi.
Unto thee they cried, and were delivered: in thee they trusted, and were not put to shame.
6 Abụ m idide, abụghị m mmadụ; onye ndị ọzọ na-akwa emo, onye ndị mmadụ na-eleda anya.
But I am a worm, and not a man, a reproach of men, and despised of people.
7 Ndị niile hụrụ m na-achị m ọchị; na-emiri m ọnụ ịkwa emo, na-efufekwa isi ha na-asị.
All those who see me laugh me to scorn: they draw open their lips, they shake their head, [saying, ]
8 “O na-atụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi; ka Onyenwe anyị bịa gbapụta ya. Ya napụta ya ebe ọ bụ na ihe ya masịrị ya.”
“Let him throw himself on the Lord, that he may deliver him: he will save him, for he delighteth in him.”
9 Ma Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ gị wepụtara m site nʼafọ nne m. Ọ bụ gị mere ka m tụkwasị gị obi, ọ bụladị mgbe m ka na-aṅụ ara.
Yea, thou art he that took me from the womb: thou hast been my trust when I hung on my mother's breasts.
10 Site nʼoge amụrụ m ka e nyefere m nʼaka gị. Site nʼafọ nne m, ka gị onwe gị bụ Chineke m.
Upon thee was I cast from my birth: from my mother's womb art thou my God.
11 Anọla m ebe dị anya, nʼihi na nsogbu dị nso. Ọ dịkwaghị onye inyeaka nọ nso.
Oh be not far from me [now]; for distress is near; for there is none to help.
12 Ọtụtụ oke ehi gbara m gburugburu; oke ehi dị ike nke Bashan gbara m gburugburu.
Many steers have encompassed me: the strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 Ọdụm ndị na-agbọ ụja mgbe ha na-adọgbu anụ ọhịa asaghepụla ọnụ ha megide m.
They have opened wide against me their mouth, [as] a ravenous and roaring lion.
14 A wụpụla m dịka mmiri, ọkpụkpụ m niile apụkwaala nʼọnọdụ ha. Obi m agbazela dịka mmanụ, obi ịlọ mmiri ewerela ọnọdụ nʼime m.
Like water am I poured out, and all my bones are disjointed: my heart is become like wax, it is melted in the midst of my entrails.
15 Ike ọbụla adịghịkwa m nʼahụ, dịka a ga-asị na m bụ ụrọ nke anwụ mịkọọrọ mmiri dị ya nʼime. Ire m na-araparakwa m nʼọnụ, nʼihi na ị tọgbọrọ m nʼọnụ ọnwụ.
Like a potsherd is my strength dried up; and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and into the dust of death hast thou laid me down.
16 Ọtụtụ nkịta agbaala m gburugburu; otù ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ agbaala m gburugburu, ha adupuola m aka m na ụkwụ m.
For dogs have encompassed me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: like lions [they threaten] my hands and my feet.
17 A pụrụ ịgụta ọkpụkpụ m niile ọnụ; ndị mmadụ na-ele m anya na-emikwa ọnụ ọchị
I may number all my bones: [while] they stare and look upon me.
18 Ha na-eke uwe m nʼetiti ha, ha sitere nʼife nza kee uwe m.
They divide my clothes among themselves, and for my garment do they cast lots.
19 Ma gị, Onyenwe anyị, anọla m ebe dị anya; gị Onye bụ ike m, mee ngwangwa bịa nyere m aka.
But thou, O Lord, be not far from me: O [thou who art] my strength, hasten to my aid.
20 Napụta ndụ m site na mma agha, site nʼike ụmụ nkịta, napụta ndụ m nke dị oke ọnụahịa.
Deliver from the sword my life, from the power of the dog my solitary soul.
21 Gbapụta m site nʼọnụ ọdụm ndị a, zọpụta m site na mpi atụ ndị a.
Save me from the lion's mouth; as thou hast answered me from the horns of the reem.
22 Aga m ekwupụta aha gị nye ụmụnna m; nʼetiti ọha mmadụ aga m enye gị otuto.
I will relate thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 Toonu Onyenwe anyị! Unu niile bụ ndị na-atụ egwu ya; unu bụ ndị agbụrụ Jekọb, sọpụrụnụ ya! Tụọnụ ya egwu, unu agbụrụ Izrel!
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and be in dread of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24 Nʼihi na o ledaghị ahụhụ onye a na-akpagbu anya maọbụ kwaa ya emo; o lefughị ya anya kama mgbe ọ kpọkuru ya, ọ nụrụ olu akwa ya.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the poor; neither hath he hidden his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 Isiokwu otuto m nʼetiti ọha mmadụ sitere na gị; aga m emezukwa nkwa niile m kwere gị nʼihu ndị ahụ na-atụ egwu gị.
Of thee shall be my praise in a great assembly: my vows will I pay in the presence of those who fear him.
26 Ndị ogbenye ga-eri nri, rijuo afọ ha, ndị niile na-achọ Onyenwe anyị ga-eto ya ka mkpụrụobi unu dị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they who seek him shall praise the Lord: may your heart live for ever.
27 Nsọtụ elu ụwa niile ga-echeta, ma laghachikwute Onyenwe anyị. Ezinaụlọ nke mba niile dị iche iche ga-akpọ isiala nʼihu ya.
All the ends of the world shall remember and return unto the Lord: and all the families of the nations shall bow themselves down before thee.
28 Nʼihi na ike ọchịchị bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, ọ na-achịkwa mba niile.
For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he governeth the nations.
29 Ndị ọgaranya niile nke elu ụwa ga-eri oriri ma fee ya; ihe niile na-anwụ anwụ ga-akpọ isiala nʼihu ya; ndị na-apụghị idebe onwe ha ndụ.
All they that eat the fat of the earth shall bow themselves down; before him shall bend the knee all that are going down into the dust; for none can keep alive his own soul.
30 Agbụrụ anyị ga-ejere ya ozi; a ga-akọrọ ọgbọ ndị na-abịa nʼihu ihe banyere onyenwe anyị.
Distant ages shall serve him; there shall be related of the Lord unto future generations.
31 Ha ga-ekwusa ezi omume ya nye ọgbọ niile na-abịa nʼihu, bụ ndị a na-amụbeghị nʼihi na o meela ya.
They will come, and will tell his righteousness unto a people yet unborn, that he hath done this.
