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?
For the leader; set to “Deer of the Dawn”. A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you left me, my rescue so far from the words of my roaring?
2 O Chineke m, ana m akpọku gị nʼehihie, ma ị dịghị aza m, nʼabalị kwa, ma ọ dịghị izuike m nwere.
I cry in the day, you do not answer, I cry in the night but find no rest.
3 Nʼezie, i nọ nʼocheeze gị dịka Onye ahụ dị Nsọ; ị bụ otuto ndị Izrel.
You are the Holy One, throned on the praises of Israel.
4 Nna anyị ha tụkwasịrị gị obi; ha tụkwasịrị gị obi, ị zọpụtakwara ha.
In you our ancestors trusted, they trusted and you delivered them.
5 Ha kpọkuru gị si otu a bụrụ ndị a zọpụtara; ihere emeghị ha nʼihi na ha tụkwasịrị gị obi.
They cried to you, and found safety, in you did they trust 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, not a person; insulted by others, despised by the people.
7 Ndị niile hụrụ m na-achị m ọchị; na-emiri m ọnụ ịkwa emo, na-efufekwa isi ha na-asị.
All who see me mock me, with mouths wide open and wagging heads:
8 “O na-atụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi; ka Onyenwe anyị bịa gbapụta ya. Ya napụta ya ebe ọ bụ na ihe ya masịrị ya.”
‘He relies on the Lord; let him save him. Let him rescue the one he holds dear!’
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.
But you drew me from the womb, laid me safely 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.
On your care was I cast from my very birth, you are my God from my mother’s womb.
11 Anọla m ebe dị anya, nʼihi na nsogbu dị nso. Ọ dịkwaghị onye inyeaka nọ nso.
Be not far from me, for trouble is nigh, and there is none to help.
12 Ọtụtụ oke ehi gbara m gburugburu; oke ehi dị ike nke Bashan gbara m gburugburu.
I am circled by many bulls, beset by the mighty of Bashan,
13 Ọdụm ndị na-agbọ ụja mgbe ha na-adọgbu anụ ọhịa asaghepụla ọnụ ha megide m.
who face me with gaping jaws, like ravening roaring lions.
14 A wụpụla m dịka mmiri, ọkpụkpụ m niile apụkwaala nʼọnọdụ ha. Obi m agbazela dịka mmanụ, obi ịlọ mmiri ewerela ọnọdụ nʼime m.
Poured out am I like water, and all my bones are loosened. My heart is become like wax, melted within me.
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.
My palate is dry as a sherd, my tongue sticks to my jaws; in the dust of death you lay me.
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 are round about me, a band of knaves encircles me, gnawing my hands and my feet.
17 A pụrụ ịgụta ọkpụkpụ m niile ọnụ; ndị mmadụ na-ele m anya na-emikwa ọnụ ọchị
I can count my bones, every one. As for them, they feast their eyes on me.
18 Ha na-eke uwe m nʼetiti ha, ha sitere nʼife nza kee uwe m.
They divide my garments among them, and over my raiment cast lots.
19 Ma gị, Onyenwe anyị, anọla m ebe dị anya; gị Onye bụ ike m, mee ngwangwa bịa nyere m aka.
But you, O Lord, be not far, O my strength, hasten to help me.
20 Napụta ndụ m site na mma agha, site nʼike ụmụ nkịta, napụta ndụ m nke dị oke ọnụahịa.
Deliver my life from the sword my life from the power of the dogs.
21 Gbapụta m site nʼọnụ ọdụm ndị a, zọpụta m site na mpi atụ ndị a.
Save me from the jaws of the lion, from the horns of the wild oxen help me.
22 Aga m ekwupụta aha gị nye ụmụnna m; nʼetiti ọha mmadụ aga m enye gị otuto.
I will tell of your fame to my kindred, and in the assembly will praise you.
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!
Praise the Lord, you who fear him. All Jacob’s seed, give him glory. All Israel’s seed, stand in awe of him.
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 has not despised nor abhorred the sorrow of the sorrowful. He hid not his face from me, but he listened to my cry for help.
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 you is my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will pay before 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 afflicted will eat to their heart’s desire, and those who seek after the Lord will praise him. Lift up your hearts forever.
27 Nsọtụ elu ụwa niile ga-echeta, ma laghachikwute Onyenwe anyị. Ezinaụlọ nke mba niile dị iche iche ga-akpọ isiala nʼihu ya.
All will call it to mind, to the ends of the earth, and turn to the Lord; and all tribes of the nations will bow down before you.
28 Nʼihi na ike ọchịchị bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, ọ na-achịkwa mba niile.
For the kingdom belongs to the Lord: he is the Lord of 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.
To him will bow down all who sleep in the earth, and before him bend all who go down to the dust, and those who could not preserve their lives.
30 Agbụrụ anyị ga-ejere ya ozi; a ga-akọrọ ọgbọ ndị na-abịa nʼihu ihe banyere onyenwe anyị.
My descendants will tell of the Lord to the next generation;
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 declare his righteousness to people yet to be born: He has done it.
