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 psalm of the sons of Korah.” Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, upon 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 elevation is Mount Zion, The joy of the whole earth; The joy of the farthest North is the city 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 her palaces God is known as a refuge.
4 Mgbe ndị eze jikọtara ndị agha ha ọnụ, mgbe ha bịakọtara nso,
For, lo! kings were assembled against it; They passed away together.
5 ihe ha hụrụ juru ha anya; nʼihi oke egwu, ha gbara ọsọ.
As soon as they saw, they were astonished; They were confounded, and hasted away.
6 Ahụ ọma jijiji bidoro ha nʼebe ahụ, ihe mgbu ha dịka nke nwanyị na-achọ ịmụ nwa.
There terror seized upon them, —Pain, as of a woman in travail;
7 Ị lara ha nʼiyi dịka oke ifufe si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ si ala ụgbọ mmiri ukwuu nke Tashish nʼiyi.
As when the east wind breaketh in pieces The ships of Tarshish.
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 we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. (Pause)
9 O Chineke, nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwuu gị, ka anyị nọ na-atụgharị uche nʼịhụnanya gị nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwụ.
We think of thy loving-kindness, O God! In the midst of thy temple!
10 O Chineke, dịka aha gị, otuto gị na-eru na nsọtụ ụwa niile; aka nri gị jupụtara nʼezi omume.
As thy name, O God! so thy praise, extendeth to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Ugwu Zayọn na-aṅụrị ọṅụ, obodo nta niile nke Juda nwere obi ụtọ nʼihi ikpe gị niile.
Mount Zion rejoiceth, The daughters of Judah exult, On account of thy righteous judgments.
12 Gaanụ Zayọn gburugburu, Jegharịa ya gburugburu, gụọkwanụ ụlọ elu ya niile ọnụ.
Go round about Zion; number her 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.
Mark well her bulwarks; count her palaces; That ye may tell it to the next generation!
14 Nʼihi na Chineke a, bụ Chineke anyị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi, ọ ga-abụ onyendu anyị, ọ bụladị ruo nʼọgwụgwụ.
For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide unto death.
