Abụ Ọma 5
1 Abụ Ọma. Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Ọ bụ opi ka e ji abụ ya. Abụ Ọma nke Devid. Onyenwe anyị, biko, nụrụ ekpere m tulee ịsụ ude m.
For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)
2 Geekwa ntị nʼakwa arịrịọ m, gị Chineke onye bụ eze m. Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị gị ka m na-akpọku.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do I pray.
3 Ụtụtụ ụbọchị niile, O Onyenwe anyị, ị ga-anụ olu m; aga m ekwupụtara gị ihe niile na-akpa m mkpa. Aga m elekwa anya ọsịsa gị.
O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.
4 Ị bụ Chineke, onye ihe ọjọọ ọbụla anaghị atọ ụtọ; gị na ndị ajọ omume apụghị ibikọta.
For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with Thee.
5 Ndị mpako agaghị eguzo nʼihu gị. Ị kpọrọ ndị niile na-eme ihe ọjọọ asị.
The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Ị ga-ala ndị niile na-agha ụgha nʼiyi; Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ ndị ogbu mmadụ niile na ndị aghụghọ niile asị.
Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; the LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.
7 Ma mụ onwe m, aga m abata nʼime ụlọ gị, site nʼoke ịhụnanya gị; aga m ejikwa ịtụ egwu kpọọ isiala nʼebe ụlọnsọ ukwuu gị dị.
But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.
8 Onyenwe anyị, biko, duo m nʼime ezi omume gị nʼihi ndị iro m; mee ka ụzọ gị zie ezi nʼihu m.
O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my face.
9 Obi ha jupụtara nʼechiche ịla nʼiyi, a pụghị ịtụkwasị okwu ọbụla si ha nʼọnụ pụta obi. Akpịrị ha bụ ili ghere oghe; ha ji ire ha ekwu okwu ụgha.
For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their inward part is a yawning gulf, their throat is an open sepulchre; they make smooth their tongue.
10 Maa ha ikpe, Chineke. Mee ka nzube ọjọọ ha niile bụrụ ọdịda ha. Chụpụ ha nʼihi ịba ụba nke ọtụtụ mmehie ha, nʼihi na ha enupula isi megide gị.
Hold them guilty, O God, let them fall by their own counsels; cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against Thee.
11 Ma mee ka onye ọbụla na-agbaba nʼime gị ṅụrịa; mee ka ha nọgide na-eti mkpu ọṅụ. Were aka nchebe gị kpuchie ha, ka ndị niile hụrụ aha gị nʼanya ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime gị.
So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, they shall ever shout for joy, and Thou shalt shelter them; let them also that love Thy name exult in Thee.
12 Nʼezie, O Onyenwe anyị, ị na-agọzi onye ezi omume. Ị na-eji ihuọma gị gbaa ha gburugburu dịka ọta.
For Thou dost bless the righteous; O LORD, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.
