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?
Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?
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, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.
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.
Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.
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 prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom 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 time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.
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 my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.
7 Gee ntị mgbe m na-akpọku gị Onyenwe anyị. Meere m ebere, zaa m.
O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.
8 Obi m na-ekwu banyere gị, “Chọọ ihu ya!” Ihu gị, Onyenwe anyị, ka m ga-achọ.
When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.
9 Ezonarịla m ihu gị, agbakụtala ohu gị azụ nʼiwe; nʼihi na ị bụrịị onye inyeaka m. O Chineke, Onye nzọpụta m, ahapụkwala m.
Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from 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 are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.
11 Zi m ụzọ gị, O Onyenwe anyị; duo m nʼụzọ kwesiri nʼihi ndị na-akpagbu m.
Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters.
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.
Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.
13 Olileanya m bụ nke a: Aga m ahụ ịdị mma Onyenwe anyị nʼala ndị dị ndụ.
I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Chere Onyenwe anyị; dịrị ike, nwekwaa ume, ma chere Onyenwe anyị.
Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.
