Abụ Ọma 37
1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Echegbula onwe gị nʼihi ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, maọbụ kwosa ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ ekworo;
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, nor be thou envious against those who work unrighteousness.
2 nʼihi na mgbe na-adịghị anya, ha ga-akpọnwụ dịka ahịhịa, dịka ahịhịa ndụ, ha ga-anwụkwa.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Tụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi meekwa ihe ziri ezi; biri nʼala na nchebe, rijuokwa afọ.
Trust in Jehovah, and do good. Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.
4 Ka ihe Onyenwe anyị tọọ gị ụtọ. Ọ ga-enyekwa gị ihe niile bụ ọchịchọ nke obi gị.
Delight thyself also in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
5 Nyefee onwe gị nʼaka Onyenwe anyị; tụkwasị ya obi, ọ ga-emere gị nke a:
Commit thy way to Jehovah. Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
6 Ọ ga-eme ka ezi omume gị pụta ìhè dịka ihe nke chị ọbụbọ, meekwa ka izi ezi nke ikpe gị dịka ihe nke anyanwụ nʼehihie.
And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy justice as the noon-day.
7 Dere duu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, were ndidi chere ya; echegbula onwe gị mgbe ndị ọzọ na-enwe ọganihu, mgbe ha na-emezu atụmatụ ọjọọ ha niile.
Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him. Fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
8 Kwụsị iwe iwe, kwụsịkwa oke iwe; echegbula onwe gị, ọ na-eduba naanị nʼihe ọjọọ.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Fret not thyself, it tends only to evil-doing.
9 Nʼihi na a ga-ala ndị ajọ omume nʼiyi, ma ndị niile olileanya ha dị na Onyenwe anyị ga-eketa ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa ha.
For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.
10 Ọ fọdụrụ nwa oge nta, ndị ajọ omume ga-agabiga; ọ bụ ezie na ị ga-achọ ha, ma ị gaghị achọta ha.
For yet a little while, and the wicked man shall not be. Yea, thou shall diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
11 Ma ndị niile dị nwayọọ nʼobi ga-eketa ala a dịka ihe nketa ha, ha ga-enwekwa udo dị ukwuu.
But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Ndị ajọ omume na-agba izu ọjọọ megide ndị ezi omume, na-ata ikekere eze megide ha;
The wicked man plots against the righteous man, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
13 ma onyenwe anyị na-achị ndị ajọ omume ọchị, nʼihi na ọ maara na ụbọchị ha na-abịa.
The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
14 Ndị ajọ omume amịpụtala mma agha ha, kwee ụta ha ime ka ndị nọ na mkpa na ndị ogbenye daa, igbu ndị ụzọ ha ziri ezi.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill such as are upright in the way.
15 Ma ha ga-ewere mma agha ha gbuo onwe ha, kụrisiekwa ụta ha.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Ihe ntakịrị nke onye ezi omume nwere dị mma karịa akụnụba ọtụtụ ndị ajọ omume;
Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men.
17 nʼihi na a ga-etiji ike niile nke ndị ajọ omume, ma Onyenwe anyị ga-akwagide ndị ezi omume.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholds the righteous.
18 Ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta na-ebi ndụ ha nʼokpuru nlekọta Onyenwe anyị, ihe nketa ha ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Jehovah knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance shall be forever.
19 Nʼoge ihe ndakwasị, ha agaghị akpọnwụ; ha ga-erijukwa afọ nʼụbọchị ụnwụ.
They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 Ma ndị ajọ omume ga-ala nʼiyi. Nʼagbanyeghị na ndị iro Onyenwe anyị dịka ịma mma nke ubi ahịhịa ndụ, ha ga-agabigakwa ngwangwa nʼanya dịka anwụrụ ọkụ.
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah is as the fat of lambs: they shall disintegrate; they shall disintegrate away into smoke.
21 Ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ na-ebiri mmadụ ihe ma ha adịghị akwụghachi ya, ma onye ezi omume na-eme amara na-enye ndị ọzọ ihe o nwere.
The wicked man borrows, and pays not again, but the righteous man deals graciously, and gives.
22 Ndị Onyenwe anyị gọziri agọzi ga-eketa akụ nke ụwa, ma ndị ọ bụrụ ọnụ ka a ga-egbuchapụ.
For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land, and those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị nwere mmasị na ndụ mmadụ, ọ ga-eme ka nzọ ụkwụ ya guzosie ike;
A man's goings are established by Jehovah, and he delights in his way.
24 ọ bụrụ na ọ kpọbie ụkwụ, ọ gaghị ada, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-eji aka ya ejigide ya.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholds him with his hand.
25 Abụ m nwantakịrị na mbụ, ugbu a, abụ m agadi, ma ahụbeghị m ebe e chefuru ndị ezi omume, maọbụ ebe ụmụ ha na-arịọ nri.
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 Mgbe niile, ha na-eme amara jiri obi ha na-agbazinye ndị mmadụ ihe, ụmụ ha ga-abụ ngọzị.
All the day long he deals graciously, and lends, and his seed is blessed.
27 Site nʼihe ọjọọ pụọ, mee ezi ihe, mgbe ahụ, i ga-ebi nʼala a ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore.
28 Onyenwe anyị na-ahụ onye ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi nʼanya. Ọ gaghị ahapụkwa ndị ya kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. A ga-echebe ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ma ụmụ ndị ajọ omume ka a ga-egbuchapụ;
For Jehovah loves justice, and forsakes not his sanctified. They are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 ndị ezi omume ga-eketa ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa ha, ha ga-ebikwa nʼime ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever.
30 Okwu amamihe na-esi nʼọnụ onye ezi omume pụta, ire ya na-ekwukwa ihe ziri ezi.
The mouth of a righteous man talks of wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
31 Iwu Chineke ya dị ya nʼobi; nzọ ukwu ha adịghị agbụchapụ.
The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
32 Ndị ajọ omume na-echere ndị ezi omume na nzuzo, na-achọ ịnapụ ha ndụ ha;
A wicked man watches a righteous man, and seeks to kill him.
33 ma Onyenwe anyị agaghị ahapụ ha nʼaka ha, ọ gaghị ekwe ka a maa ha ikpe mgbe a na-ekpe ha ikpe.
Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Chere Onyenwe anyị, debekwa ụzọ ya. Ọ ga-ebuli gị elu ka i nweta ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa; mgbe a na-egbuchapụ ndị ajọ omume, ị ga-eji anya gị hụ ya.
Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land. When sinners are cut off, thou shall see it.
35 Ahụla m onye ajọ omume na nwoke na-eme ihe ike, ka ọ na-eto, na-awasa, dịka osisi dị ndụ nʼezi ala,
I have seen a wicked man in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36 ma ọ dịghị anya, ọ nwụrụ, nʼagbanyeghị na m chọgharịrị ya, ọ dịghị ebe ọbụla a hụrụ ya.
But I passed by, and, lo, he was not. Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Ma tụgharịa uche banyere ndị ezi omume, rịbaa ndị ụzọ ha ziri ezi ama; ọganihu dịịrị onye udo.
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for there is a happy end to the man of peace.
38 Ma a ga-ala ndị mmehie niile nʼiyi; ọ dịghị olileanya dịịrị ndị ajọ omume.
As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Nzọpụta nke ndị ezi omume si nʼaka Onyenwe anyị bịa; ọ bụ ebe ha e wusiri ike nʼoge nsogbu.
But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble,
40 Onyenwe anyị na-enyere ha aka, na-anapụtakwa ha ma na-azọpụtakwa ha site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume, nʼihi na ha mere ya ebe mgbaba ha.
and Jehovah helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from sinners, and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
