Abụ Ọma 43

1 O Chineke, kpepụta m, kpechitere m ikpe m nʼebe mba na-amaghị Chineke nọ; gbapụta m site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume na ndị aghụghọ.

Judge me, O God, and defend my cause against the vnmercifull people: deliuer mee from the deceitfull and wicked man.

2 Ị bụ Chineke, ebe m e wusiri ike. Gịnị mere i ji jụ m? Gịnị mere m ga-eji na-ejegharị nʼiru ụjụ, nʼihi mmegbu nke onye iro?

For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou put me away? why goe I so mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?

3 Zipụ ìhè gị na eziokwu gị, ka ha duo m; ka ha kpọbata m nʼugwu nsọ gị, bụ ebe i bi.

Sende thy light and thy trueth: let them leade mee: let them bring mee vnto thine holy Mountaine and to thy Tabernacles.

4 Mgbe ahụ, aga m aga nʼebe ịchụ aja Chineke, gakwuru Chineke, bụ ọṅụ m na obi ụtọ m. Aga m eji ụbọ akwara too gị, O Chineke, bụ Chineke m.

Then wil I go vnto the altar of God, euen vnto the God of my ioy and gladnes: and vpon the harpe wil I giue thanks vnto thee, O God, my God.

5 O mkpụrụobi m, gịnị mere i ji daa mba? Gịnị mere i ji na-asụ ude nʼime m? Nwee olileanya na Chineke, nʼihi na m ka ga-eto ya ọzọ, onye Nzọpụta m na Chineke m.

Why art thou cast downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes, he is my present helpe, and my God.
