Abụ Ọma 27
1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Onyenwe anyị bụ ìhè m na nzọpụta m, onye ka m ga-atụ egwu ya? Onyenwe anyị bụ ebe siri ike nke ndụ m, ọ bụkwa onye ka m ga-atụ egwu?
[A Psalm] of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Mgbe ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ busoro m agha ka ha ripịa anụ ahụ m, ọ bụ ndị iro m na ndị kpọrọ m asị, bụ ndị ga-asọ ngọngọ ma dakwaa.
When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [Even] mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 Ọ bụrụ na usuu ndị agha agbaa m gburugburu, obi m agaghị atụ ụjọ ọbụla; ọ bụladị na agha adaa imegide m, nʼoge ahụ, ka m ga-enwe ntụkwasị obi.
Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.
4 Naanị otu ihe ka m rịọrọ nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, nke ahụ bụkwa ihe m na-achọsi ike; ka m biri nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị ụbọchị niile nke ndụ m, na ka m lekwasị ịma mma Onyenwe anyị, na ka m chọọ ya nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwuu ya.
One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.
5 Nʼihi na nʼụbọchị nsogbu, ọ ga-echebe m nʼime ebe obibi ya; ọ ga-ezo m nʼime ụlọ ikwu ya; ma bulie m elu, debe m nʼelu oke nkume.
For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
6 Mgbe ahụ, a ga-eweli isi m elu karịa ndị iro m gbara m gburugburu; aga m eji iti mkpu ọṅụ, chụọ aja nʼụlọ ikwu ya; aga m abụ abụ, kụọ egwu nye Onyenwe anyị.
And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.
7 Gee ntị mgbe m na-akpọku gị Onyenwe anyị. Meere m ebere, zaa m.
Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 Obi m na-ekwu banyere gị, “Chọọ ihu ya!” Ihu gị, Onyenwe anyị, ka m ga-achọ.
[When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.
9 Ezonarịla m ihu gị, agbakụtala ohu gị azụ nʼiwe; nʼihi na ị bụrịị onye inyeaka m. O Chineke, Onye nzọpụta m, ahapụkwala m.
Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Ọ bụrụrị na nne na nna m ahapụ m, Onyenwe anyị ga-anabata m.
When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up.
11 Zi m ụzọ gị, O Onyenwe anyị; duo m nʼụzọ kwesiri nʼihi ndị na-akpagbu m.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.
12 Ararala m nyefee nʼaka ndị kpọrọ m asị nʼihi ọchịchọ ha, ọtụtụ ndị ama ụgha ebiliela imegide m, ha na-ekupụ ihe ike dịka ume.
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.
13 Olileanya m bụ nke a: Aga m ahụ ịdị mma Onyenwe anyị nʼala ndị dị ndụ.
[I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.
14 Chere Onyenwe anyị; dịrị ike, nwekwaa ume, ma chere Onyenwe anyị.
Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah.
