Abụ Ọma 4
1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid nke a na-eji ụbọ akwara akpọ. Zaa m mgbe m na-akpọku gị Chineke m, gị onye ezi omume; Napụta m site nʼihe mgbu m, meere m ebere, nụrụkwa ekpere m.
To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David. When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.
2 Unu ụmụ mmadụ, ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-atụgharịa ebube m, mee ka ọ bụrụ ihe ihere? Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-ahụ ihe efu nʼanya na-achọ chi ndị ahụ na-abụghị chi nʼezie? (Sela)
Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? (Selah)
3 Matanụ nke ọma na Onyenwe anyị ahọpụtala ndị ezi omume nye onwe ya; ọ ga-egekwa ntị nʼolu m mgbe ọbụla m kpọkuru ya.
Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.
4 Maanụ jijiji, unu emehiekwala; mgbe unu nọ nʼelu ihe ndina unu; nọọnụ jụụ na-enyocha obi unu. (Sela)
Be deeply moved, but do not sin, —Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. (Selah)
5 Tụkwasịnụ Onyenwe anyị obi unu, chụkwaranụ ya aja ezi omume.
Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ na-ajụ, “Onye pụrụ imere anyị ihe ọma?” Ma Onyenwe anyị, biko mee ka ìhè nke ihu gị mụkwasị anyị.
Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.
7 Were ọṅụ mejupụta obi m karịa mgbe mkpụrụ ubi, ya na mmanya ọhụrụ ha bara ụba nke ukwuu.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, —beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.
8 Aga m edina ala ma rahụ ụra nʼudo, nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị gị Onyenwe anyị, na-eme ka m nọrọ na-enweghị ihe egwu ọbụla.
In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
