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.
Let those who do good shout for joy—those who live right should praise him!
2 Werenụ ụbọ akwara too Onyenwe anyị; werenụ une nke nwere akwara iri kpọọrọ ya egwu.
Praise the Lord with the lyre, play music to him on the ten-stringed harp.
3 Bụkuonụ ya abụ ọhụrụ; were ǹka kpọọ ụbọ akwara ma tiekwa mkpu ọṅụ.
Sing a new song to him; play your instruments well and shout for joy.
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 true, and he is trustworthy in everything he does.
5 Onyenwe anyị na-ahụ ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi nʼanya; ụwa niile jupụtara nʼịhụnanya ya nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwụ.
He loves all that is good and right; the earth is full of the Lord's trustworthy love.
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.
The Lord spoke the word and the heavens were made; his mouth breathed all the stars into existence.
7 Ọ bụ ya kekwara osimiri niile chịkọta ha nʼotu ebe, kpaa oke ebe ha ga-anọ dịka ụlọakụ dị ukwuu.
He gathers the waters of the sea together, he keeps the ocean depths in store.
8 Ka ụwa niile tụọ Onyenwe anyị egwu; ka mmadụ niile bi nʼụwa sọpụrụ ya.
Let all the earth show reverence to the Lord; let all the world's inhabitants be in awe of him.
9 Nʼihi na o kwuru okwu, okwu ahụ mezukwara; o nyere iwu, iwu ahụ guzokwara chịm.
For he spoke and the world came into existence; he gave the command and it was created.
10 Onyenwe anyị na-emebi atụmatụ mba niile; ọ na-emebi ebumnobi ụmụ mmadụ.
The Lord foils the decisions of the nations, he frustrates the plans of the peoples,
11 Atụmatụ Onyenwe anyị na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ebumnobi ya ruo ọgbọ niile.
But the Lord's plan stands forever—what he decides lasts for all generations.
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, the people he has chosen as specially belonging to him.
13 Onyenwe anyị si nʼeluigwe na-ele ndị mmadụ bi nʼụwa anya. Ọ na-ahụzu ụmụ mmadụ niile anya.
The Lord looks from heaven and sees the whole of humanity,
14 O sitere nʼebe obibi ya na-ele onye ọbụla bi nʼelu ụwa anya.
from his throne he watches all those who live on earth.
15 Ebe ọ bụ ya kpụrụ obi mmadụ niile nʼotu na otu; ọ na-ahụzu, na-amazukwa ihe niile ha na-eme.
He created their minds, so he knows everything they do.
16 Ọnụọgụgụ ndị agha eze apụghị ịzọpụta ya; o nweghị onye agha ọbụla na-azọpụta onwe ya, site nʼịdị ukwuu nke ike ya.
Even the greatest army cannot save a king; the greatest strength cannot save a warrior.
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.
Don't deceive yourself: a warhorse can't give you victory—even its incredible strength won't save you.
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.
The Lord watches over those who reverently follow him, those who place their hope in his trustworthy love
19 Ọ ga-anapụta ha site nʼaka ọnwụ. Ọ ga-echebekwa ha ọ bụladị nʼoge ụnwụ.
to save them from death and to keep them alive when famine strikes.
20 Anyị ji olileanya eche Onyenwe anyị; ọ bụ ya bụ inyeaka anyị na ọta anyị.
We place our confidence in the Lord; he is our help and our defender.
21 Obi anyị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime ya; nʼihi na anyị tụkwasịrị aha nsọ ya obi.
We are so happy about him, for we trust in his holy character.
22 O Onyenwe anyị, ka ịhụnanya gị na-adịgidere anyị, dịka olileanya anyị dị na gị.
Lord, let your trustworthy love rest upon us as we hope in you.
