Abụ Ọma 37
1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Echegbula onwe gị nʼihi ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, maọbụ kwosa ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ ekworo;
[By David.] Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be 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 like the green herb.
3 Tụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi meekwa ihe ziri ezi; biri nʼala na nchebe, rijuokwa afọ.
Trust in YHWH, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Ka ihe Onyenwe anyị tọọ gị ụtọ. Ọ ga-enyekwa gị ihe niile bụ ọchịchọ nke obi gị.
Also delight yourself in YHWH, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Nyefee onwe gị nʼaka Onyenwe anyị; tụkwasị ya obi, ọ ga-emere gị nke a:
Commit your way to YHWH. Trust also in him, and he will act.
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 your righteousness go forth as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
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 YHWH, and wait patiently for him. Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
8 Kwụsị iwe iwe, kwụsịkwa oke iwe; echegbula onwe gị, ọ na-eduba naanị nʼihe ọjọọ.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret, it leads only to evildoing.
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 YHWH 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 will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.
11 Ma ndị niile dị nwayọọ nʼobi ga-eketa ala a dịka ihe nketa ha, ha ga-enwekwa udo dị ukwuu.
But the humble 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 plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 ma onyenwe anyị na-achị ndị ajọ omume ọchị, nʼihi na ọ maara na ụbọchị ha na-abịa.
YHWH 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 those who 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. 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 has, than the abundance of many wicked.
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 YHWH 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.
YHWH knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
19 Nʼoge ihe ndakwasị, ha agaghị akpọnwụ; ha ga-erijukwa afọ nʼụbọchị ụnwụ.
They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. 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. The enemies of YHWH shall be like the burning of an oven. They will vanish—vanish like 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 borrow, and do not pay back, but the righteous give generously.
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. 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;
The steps of a man are established by YHWH, 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 stumble, he shall not fall, for YHWH holds him up 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 the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
26 Mgbe niile, ha na-eme amara jiri obi ha na-agbazinye ndị mmadụ ihe, ụmụ ha ga-abụ ngọzị.
All day long he deals graciously and lends, and his offspring are a blessing.
27 Site nʼihe ọjọọ pụọ, mee ezi ihe, mgbe ahụ, i ga-ebi nʼala a ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Turn away from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
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 YHWH loves justice, and doesn't forsake his faithful ones. They are preserved forever, but the children 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 live in it forever.
30 Okwu amamihe na-esi nʼọnụ onye ezi omume pụta, ire ya na-ekwukwa ihe ziri ezi.
The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. 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;
The wicked watches the righteous, 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.
YHWH 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 YHWH, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you 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 the wicked wielding great power, and towering like a cedar of Lebanon.
36 ma ọ dịghị anya, ọ nwụrụ, nʼagbanyeghị na m chọgharịrị ya, ọ dịghị ebe ọbụla a hụrụ ya.
And I passed by, and look, he was not. And I looked for 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.
Observe the blameless, and see the upright, for there is a future for 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 future 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.
The salvation of the righteous is from YHWH. 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 YHWH helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him.
