Abụ Ọma 28
1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Gị Onyenwe anyị ka m na-akpọku; gị bụ Oke nkume m, agbala m nkịtị. Ọ bụrụ na ị jụ ịza m, aga m eyi otu nʼime ndị ahụ na-arịda nʼolulu.
[A Psalm] of David. To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
2 Nụrụ arịrịọ m maka ebere dịka m na-akpọku gị maka enyemaka, mgbe m chịlịri aka m abụọ elu nʼEbe gị Kachasị Nsọ.
Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.
3 Adọkpụrụla m tinyere ndị ajọ mmadụ, tinyekwara ndị na-eme ajọ ihe, ndị ji ire ụtọ agwa ndị agbataobi ha okwu udo, ma ha bu iro nʼime obi ha.
Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.
4 Kwụghachi ha dịka ọrụ ọjọọ ha na omume ha kwesiri; kwụghachi ha maka ihe aka ha mere, ka ihe ga-adakwasị ha bụrụ ihe ha kwesiri iketa.
Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them.
5 Nʼihi na ha adịghị aghọta ọrụ niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ha adịghịkwa aghọta ihe aka ya abụọ rụrụ, ọ ga-akwada ha nʼala, ọ gaghị ewulikwa ha elu ọzọ.
Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.
6 Toonu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na o gere ntị nʼarịrịọ m rịọrọ ya ka o meere m ebere.
Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.
7 Onyenwe anyị bụ ike m na ọta m; ana m atụkwasị ya obi m, si otu a bụrụ onye a na-enyere aka. Obi m na-awuli elu nʼihi ọṅụ, aga m ejikwa abụ m na-eto ya.
The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.
8 Onyenwe anyị bụ ike nke ndị ya, ebe mgbaba e wusiri ike nke nzọpụta dịịrị onye ya etere mmanụ.
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
9 Zọpụta ndị gị, gọzikwaa ihe nketa gị; buuru ha onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, na-ekukwa ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
