Abụ Ọma 36
1 Abụ Ọma dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid, bụ ohu Onyenwe anyị. E nwere m ozi dị nʼime obi nke sitere nʼaka Chineke banyere ndụ mmehie nke ndị na-eme ajọ ihe: Ọ dịghị ịtụ egwu Chineke dị nʼanya ha.
“To the chief musician, by the servant of the Lord, by David.” Saith vice itself to the wicked—so I feel it within my heart— that he should have no dread of God before his eyes.
2 Nʼihi ha na-agwarịta onwe ha okwu ire ụtọ nʼanya ha onwe ha, na o nweghị ụzọ a ga-esi nwe ike ịchọpụta mmehie ha maọbụ kpọọ ya asị.
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes [too much] to find out his iniquity to hate it.
3 Okwu ọnụ ha niile bụ ihe ọjọọ na aghụghọ; ha adịghị eji uche eme ihe maọbụ mee ihe dị mma.
The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
4 Ọ bụladị mgbe ha nọ nʼelu ihe ndina ha, ha na-eche echiche ajọ ihe; ha enyefeela onwe ha nʼaka ndụ ajọ omume, ha adịghị ajụkwa ihe na-ezighị ezi.
He deviseth wickedness upon his couch; he placeth himself on a way that is not good; evil he despiseth not.
5 O Onyenwe anyị, ịhụnanya gị na-eru mbara eluigwe, ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị na-erukwa igwe ojii nke eluigwe.
O Lord, into the heavens reacheth thy kindness, thy faithfulness even into the skies.
6 Ezi omume gị dịka ugwu dị ukwuu, ikpe ikpe ziri ezi gị dịka omimi nke oke osimiri. O Onyenwe anyị, ị na-echebe ụmụ mmadụ na anụmanụ.
Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy acts of justice like the great deep: man and beast dost thou ever help, O Lord.
7 Lee ka ịhụnanya gị nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ si dị oke ọnụahịa, O Chineke! Ụmụ mmadụ na-agbaba nʼokpuru ndo nke nku gị abụọ.
How precious is thy kindness, O God! And the children of men that seek shelter under the shadow of thy wings, —
8 Ha na-eri oriri site nʼịba ụba nke ụlọakụ gị; Ị na-enyekwa ha mmiri site nʼiyi nke obi ụtọ gị.
These will be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and of the stream of thy delights wilt thou give them to drink.
9 Nʼihi na mmiri na-enye ndụ dị na gị; ọ bụkwa nʼìhè gị ka anyị na-ahụ ìhè.
For with thee is the source of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 Mee ka ịhụnanya gị na-adịgidere ndị maara gị, ka ezi omume gị na-adịgidekwara ndị ziri ezi nʼobi.
Draw down continuously thy kindness unto those that acknowledge thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Ekwela ka ndị mpako a zọọ m ụkwụ nʼisi, ekwekwala ka aka ndị ajọ omume nupu m nʼebe m guzo.
Let not come against me the foot of pride, and let not the hand of the wicked chase me off.
12 Lee ka ndị na-eme ajọ ihe si daa nʼala, a kwatuola ha nʼala, ha apụghịkwa ibilite ọzọ.
There are fallen the workers of wickedness: they are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
