< 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. Of the Servant of Yahweh—of David. Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, 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 [too much] in his own eyes, to find 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 iniquity and deceit, he hath left off to show discretion by doing well:
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.
Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, —he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!
5 O Onyenwe anyị, ịhụnanya gị na-eru mbara eluigwe, ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị na-erukwa igwe ojii nke eluigwe.
O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:
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 mighty mountains, and, thy just decrees, are a great resounding deep, —Man and beast, thou savest, O Yahweh!
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 thy lovingkindness, O God, —Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:
8 Ha na-eri oriri site nʼịba ụba nke ụlọakụ gị; Ị na-enyekwa ha mmiri site nʼiyi nke obi ụtọ gị.
They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, —And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest 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 fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.
10 Mee ka ịhụnanya gị na-adịgidere ndị maara gị, ka ezi omume gị na-adịgidekwara ndị ziri ezi nʼobi.
Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know 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 the foot of pride reach me, nor, the hand of the lawless, scare me away.
12 Lee ka ndị na-eme ajọ ihe si daa nʼala, a kwatuola ha nʼala, ha apụghịkwa ibilite ọzọ.
There did the workers of iniquity fall, —thrust down and not able to rise!
