Abụ Ọma 44
1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ maskil nke ụmụ Kora. O Chineke, anyị anụla; nna anyị ha agwakwala anyị ihe ndị i mere nʼoge ha, nʼoge gara aga.
For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. A maschil. We have heard with our ears, God, our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
2 I ji aka gị chụpụ ndị mba ọzọ, ma kụnye nna nna anyị ha dịka osisi. I gwepịara ndị ahụ ma mee ka ndị nna anyị na-eto na-awasa.
You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted our people; you afflicted the peoples, but you spread our people out in the land.
3 Ọ bụghị site na mma agha ha ka ha ji merie nweta ala a, ha emerighị site nʼike nke aka ha; ọ bụ aka nri gị, aka gị, na ìhè nke ihu gị nyere ha mmeri, nʼihi na ị hụrụ ha nʼanya.
For they did not obtain the land for their possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
4 Ị bụ eze m na Chineke m, onye na-ekpebi na Jekọb aghaghị inwe mmeri.
God, You are my King; command victory for Jacob.
5 Nʼihi ọ bụ naanị site nʼike gị, ya na aha gị, ka anyị ji zọda ndị iro anyị nʼokpuru ụkwụ anyị.
Through you we will push down our adversaries; through your name we will tread them under, those who rise up against us.
6 Atụkwasịghị m obi m nʼụta m, mma agha m anaghị enye m mmeri;
For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
7 ma i na-enye anyị mmeri nʼebe ndị iro anyị nọ, ị na-eme ka ihere mee ndị na-eguzogide anyị.
But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have put to shame those who hate us.
8 Nʼime Chineke ka ịnya isi anyị dị ogologo ụbọchị niile, anyị ga-eto aha gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (Sela)
In God we have made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)
9 Ma ugbu a, ị jụla anyị ma weda anyị nʼala; ị naghị esokwa ndị agha anyị apụ ọzọ.
But now you have thrown us off and brought us dishonor, and you do not go out with our armies.
10 I mere ka anyị site nʼihu ndị iro anyị gbalaga, i meela ka ndị na-emegide anyị were aka ike napụ anyị ihe bụ nke anyị.
You make us turn back from the adversary; and those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11 Ị gbakụtara anyị azụ ka e ripịa anyị dịka atụrụ, ma chụsasịa anyị nʼetiti mba niile.
You have made us like sheep to be slaughtered and have scattered us among the nations.
12 I rere ndị gị ọnụ ala, ihe i retara ha abaghị uru nye gị.
You sell your people for nothing; you have not increased your wealth by doing so.
13 I meela ka anyị bụrụ nkọcha nye ndị agbataobi anyị, anyị bụ ihe ịkwa emo na ihe ọchị nye ndị gbara anyị gburugburu.
You make us a rebuke to our neighbors, scoffed and mocked by those around us.
14 I meela anyị ka anyị bụrụ ihe ịmaatụ ọchị nʼetiti mba niile, ndị ọbụla hụrụ anyị na-efufe isi na mkparị.
You make us an insult among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 Ogologo ụbọchị niile, ihere m dị m nʼihu, ihere m na-ekpuchikwa m ihu,
All the day long my dishonor is before me, and the shame of my face has covered me
16 mgbe ndị nkwulu na ndị nkọcha na-eji m eme ihe ọchị, nʼihi onye iro, onye kpebiri ịbọ ọbọ.
because of the voice of him who rebukes and insults, because of the enemy and the avenger.
17 Ọ bụ ezie na ihe ndị a adakwasịla anyị, ma anyị echefubeghị gị. Anyị enupubeghị isi nʼọgbụgba ndụ anyị na gị.
All this has come on us; yet we have not forgotten you or dealt falsely with your covenant.
18 Obi anyị ahapụbeghị gị! Anyị ahapụbekwaghị iso ụzọ gị.
Our heart has not turned back; our steps have not gone from your way.
19 Ma i gwepịara anyị mee ka anyị bụrụ ebe nkịta ọhịa na-akpagharị, jirikwa oke ọchịchịrị kpuchie anyị.
Yet you have severely broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 Ọ bụrụ na anyị chefuru aha Chineke anyị, maọbụ na anyị gbasaara chi mba ọzọ aka anyị,
If we have forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a strange god,
21 ọ bụ na Chineke agaraghị achọpụta ya, ebe ọ maara ihe nzuzo niile dị nʼobi?
would not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Ọ bụ nʼihi gị ka anyị na ọnwụ ji agba mgba, ogologo ụbọchị niile. A na-ele anyị anya dịka atụrụ a gaje igbu egbu.
Indeed, for your sake we are being killed all day long; we are considered to be sheep for the slaughter.
23 O, Onyenwe m teta! Gịnị mere i ji arahụ ụra? Kpọtee onwe gị! Ajụkwala anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Awake, why do you sleep, Lord? Arise, do not throw us off permanently.
24 Gịnị mere i ji ezopụ ihu gị, ma chefuo mmegbu na ịta ahụhụ anyị?
Why do you hide your face and forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 E tidala anyị nʼala, nʼuzuzu, ahụ anyị rapara nʼaja
For we have melted away into the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
26 Bilie ma nyere anyị aka; gbapụta anyị maka ịhụnanya gị nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ.
Rise up for our help and redeem us for the sake of your covenant faithfulness.
