Abụ Ọma 48
1 Otu Abụ. Abụ Ọma nke ụmụ Kora. Onyenwe anyị dị ukwuu, bụrụkwa onye kwesiri ịnata otuto, nʼime obodo Chineke anyị, nʼugwu nsọ ya.
A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Ọ mara mma nʼịdị elu ya, bụkwa ọṅụ elu ụwa niile. Ugwu Zayọn, obodo eze ahụ dị ukwuu, dịka ebe kachasị elu nke Zafọn.
Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.
3 Chineke nọ nʼime ebe ya e wusiri ike; o gosila onwe ya dịka ebe mgbaba ha e wusiri ike.
In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.
4 Mgbe ndị eze jikọtara ndị agha ha ọnụ, mgbe ha bịakọtara nso,
For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.
5 ihe ha hụrụ juru ha anya; nʼihi oke egwu, ha gbara ọsọ.
They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.
6 Ahụ ọma jijiji bidoro ha nʼebe ahụ, ihe mgbu ha dịka nke nwanyị na-achọ ịmụ nwa.
Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.
7 Ị lara ha nʼiyi dịka oke ifufe si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ si ala ụgbọ mmiri ukwuu nke Tashish nʼiyi.
By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.
8 Dịka anyị nụrụ, otu a ka anyị hụrụ, nʼime obodo Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nʼime obodo Chineke anyị: Chineke na-eme ka o guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (Sela)
As it came to our ears so have we seen it, in the town of the Lord of armies, in the town of our God; God will keep it fixed for ever. (Selah)
9 O Chineke, nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwuu gị, ka anyị nọ na-atụgharị uche nʼịhụnanya gị nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwụ.
Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.
10 O Chineke, dịka aha gị, otuto gị na-eru na nsọtụ ụwa niile; aka nri gị jupụtara nʼezi omume.
As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Ugwu Zayọn na-aṅụrị ọṅụ, obodo nta niile nke Juda nwere obi ụtọ nʼihi ikpe gị niile.
Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.
12 Gaanụ Zayọn gburugburu, Jegharịa ya gburugburu, gụọkwanụ ụlọ elu ya niile ọnụ.
Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.
13 Lezienụ mgbidi ya niile anya, nyochakwaanụ ebe ya niile e wusiri ike, ka unu nwee ike ịkọrọ ọgbọ na-abịa nʼihu akụkọ ndị a.
Take note of its strong walls, looking well at its fair buildings; so that you may give word of it to the generation which comes after.
14 Nʼihi na Chineke a, bụ Chineke anyị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi, ọ ga-abụ onyendu anyị, ọ bụladị ruo nʼọgwụgwụ.
Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide.
