Abụ Ọma 33
1 Tienụ mkpu ọṅụ nye Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị ezi omume; nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe ziri ezi ka ndị obi ha ziri ezi too ya.
Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.
2 Werenụ ụbọ akwara too Onyenwe anyị; werenụ une nke nwere akwara iri kpọọrọ ya egwu.
Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.
3 Bụkuonụ ya abụ ọhụrụ; were ǹka kpọọ ụbọ akwara ma tiekwa mkpu ọṅụ.
Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.
4 Nʼihi na okwu Onyenwe anyị niile ziri ezi bụrụkwa eziokwu; o kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼọrụ ya niile.
For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain.
5 Onyenwe anyị na-ahụ ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi nʼanya; ụwa niile jupụtara nʼịhụnanya ya nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwụ.
His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6 Ọ bụ site nʼokwu ọnụ Onyenwe anyị ka e ji kee eluigwe niile, jirikwa nkuume nke ọnụ ya mee anwụ, na ọnwa na kpakpando niile.
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.
7 Ọ bụ ya kekwara osimiri niile chịkọta ha nʼotu ebe, kpaa oke ebe ha ga-anọ dịka ụlọakụ dị ukwuu.
He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.
8 Ka ụwa niile tụọ Onyenwe anyị egwu; ka mmadụ niile bi nʼụwa sọpụrụ ya.
Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.
9 Nʼihi na o kwuru okwu, okwu ahụ mezukwara; o nyere iwu, iwu ahụ guzokwara chịm.
For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.
10 Onyenwe anyị na-emebi atụmatụ mba niile; ọ na-emebi ebumnobi ụmụ mmadụ.
The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.
11 Atụmatụ Onyenwe anyị na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ebumnobi ya ruo ọgbọ niile.
The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.
12 Mba a gọziri agọzi ka mba ahụ bụ, bụ ndị Chineke bụ Onyenwe anyị ha; bụ ndị ọ họpụtara ka ha bụrụ ihe nketa ya.
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.
13 Onyenwe anyị si nʼeluigwe na-ele ndị mmadụ bi nʼụwa anya. Ọ na-ahụzu ụmụ mmadụ niile anya.
The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;
14 O sitere nʼebe obibi ya na-ele onye ọbụla bi nʼelu ụwa anya.
From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;
15 Ebe ọ bụ ya kpụrụ obi mmadụ niile nʼotu na otu; ọ na-ahụzu, na-amazukwa ihe niile ha na-eme.
He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.
16 Ọnụọgụgụ ndị agha eze apụghị ịzọpụta ya; o nweghị onye agha ọbụla na-azọpụta onwe ya, site nʼịdị ukwuu nke ike ya.
A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.
17 Ịnyịnya agha ezukwaghị iwetara ndị na-agba ha mmeri nʼagha. Ọ bụ ezie na ịnyịnya dị ike, ma ha apụghị ịzọpụta ndị nwe ha.
A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.
18 Ma Onyenwe anyị ji anya ya na-eche ndị niile na-atụ ya egwu nche, ya bụ ndị niile na-atụkwasị obi ha nʼịhụnanya ya, nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ.
See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;
19 Ọ ga-anapụta ha site nʼaka ọnwụ. Ọ ga-echebekwa ha ọ bụladị nʼoge ụnwụ.
To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.
20 Anyị ji olileanya eche Onyenwe anyị; ọ bụ ya bụ inyeaka anyị na ọta anyị.
Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.
21 Obi anyị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime ya; nʼihi na anyị tụkwasịrị aha nsọ ya obi.
For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.
22 O Onyenwe anyị, ka ịhụnanya gị na-adịgidere anyị, dịka olileanya anyị dị na gị.
Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.
