Abụ Ọma 40
1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. Eji m ndidi chere Onyenwe anyị, ọ tụgharịkwutere m, ọ nụkwaara akwa m.
I waited patiently for Jehovah, and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
2 O sitere nʼolulu na-amị amị, nke apịtị na ụrọ juru, sepụta m; o guzobere ụkwụ m abụọ nʼelu oke nkume, nyekwa m ebe siri ike ka m guzo.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 O tinyere abụ ọhụrụ nʼọnụ m, abụ otuto nye Chineke anyị. Ọtụtụ ga-ahụ ya ma tụọ egwu, ha ga-atụkwasị obi ha nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Jehovah.
4 Onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ, onye na-eme Onyenwe anyị ebe ntụkwasị obi ya; onye na-adịghị ele ndị mpako anya maọbụ ndị na-atụgharị gbasoo arụsị.
Blessed is the man who makes Jehovah his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 O Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, ọrụ ebube ị rụrụ dị ọtụtụ, ọ dịghị onye pụrụ ịgụkọta ihe niile ị kwadooro maka inye anyị; a sịkwarị na aga m ekwu ma kọsaa ihe banyere ha, ha karịrị ihe ọnụ pụrụ ikwu.
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou have done, and thy thoughts which are toward us. They cannot be set in order to thee. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Aja na onyinye abụghị ihe ị chọrọ ma ị megheela ntị abụọ; aja nsure ọkụ na aja a chụrụ maka mmehie abụghị ihe ị chọrọ.
Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but a body thou have prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sacrifice for sin thou did not require.
7 Mgbe ahụ, ekwuru m sị, “Lee m, abịala m, e dere banyere m nʼime akwụkwọ mpịakọta.
Then I said, Lo, I have come. In the volume of a book it is written of me.
8 O Chineke m, ọ bụ ọchịchọ m ime ihe ị na-achọ, iwu gị dị nʼime obi m.”
I delight to do thy will, O my God. Yea, thy law is within my heart.
9 Ana m anọ nʼetiti ọgbakọ ukwuu na-ekwusa ihe ziri ezi; dịka ị maara, o Onyenwe anyị, anaghị m emechi ọnụ m.
I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Lo, I will not refrain my lips. O Jehovah, thou know.
10 Ekpuchighị m ezi omume gị nʼime obi m, ana m ekwupụta maka ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị na nzọpụta gị. Adịghị m ekpuchi ịhụnanya na eziokwu gị, nʼebe ọgbakọ ukwuu nọ.
I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart. I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy loving kindness and thy truth from the great assembly.
11 O Onyenwe anyị, ezonarịla m ebere gị, ka ịhụnanya gị na eziokwu gị chebe m oge niile.
Withhold thou not thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah. Let thy loving kindness and thy truth continually preserve me,
12 Nʼihi na ọtụtụ nsogbu a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ gbara m gburugburu; mmehie m niile akarịala m, apụghịkwa m ịhụ ụzọ: ha karịrị agịrị isi dị m nʼisi, obi m na-adakwa mba nʼime m.
for innumerable evils have encompassed me around. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me.
13 O Onyenwe anyị, ya masị gị ịzọpụta m; O Onyenwe anyị, bịa ngwangwa inyere m aka.
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
14 Ka ndị niile na-achọ ịnapụ m ndụ m, bụrụ ndị a ga-etinye nʼọnọdụ ihere na ọgbaaghara; ka ndị niile ọ na-amasị ịhụ ịla nʼiyi m, laghachi azụ nʼihere.
Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
15 Ka ndị ahụ na-asị m, “Ehee! Ehee!” kụja nʼihi ihere onwe ha.
Let them be desolate because of their shame who say to me, Aha, aha.
16 Ma ka ndị niile na-achọ gị ṅụrịa ọṅụ, nweekwa obi ụtọ nʼime gị; ka ndị ahụ hụrụ nzọpụta gị nʼanya na-ekwu mgbe niile, “Onyenwe anyị dị ukwuu.”
Let all those who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee. Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.
17 Ma mụ onwe m bụ m ogbenye na onye nọ na mkpa; ka Onyenwe anyị cheta m. Ị bụ onye inyeaka m na onye mgbapụta m; Ị bụ Chineke m, anọla ọdụ ịbịa.
But I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinks upon me. Thou are my help and my deliverer. Make no delay, O my God.
