Abụ Ọma 50
1 Abụ Ọma Asaf. Onyenwe anyị, Chineke, Onye kachasị chi niile, ekwuola okwu ma kpọkọta ụwa niile, site na ọwụwa anyanwụ ruo na ọdịda ya.
A Psalm. Of Asaph. God, Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Chineke na-enwupụta dịka ìhè, site na Zayọn, nke zuruoke nʼime ịma mma.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
3 Chineke anyị na-abịa, ọ gaghị emechikwa ọnụ; ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa dị nʼihu ya, oke ifufe na-efesi ike gbakwara ya gburugburu.
Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 Ọ na-akpọku eluigwe na ụwa ka o kpee ndị ya ikpe: Ọ na-asị,
He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 “Chikọtaranụ m ndị m e doro nsọ, bụ ndị mụ na ha ji ịchụ aja gbaa ndụ.”
Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!
6 Eluigwe na-ekwupụta ezi omume ya, nʼihi na Chineke nʼonwe ya bụ onye ikpe. (Sela)
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God executeth judgment himself. (Selah)
7 “Nụrụnụ, ndị m, m ga-ekwukwa, Izrel, aga m agba ama megide unu, Abụ m Chineke, Chineke unu.
Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, thy God.
8 Anaghị m abara unu mba nʼihi ịchụ aja unu, na aja nsure ọkụ unu nke na-adị m nʼihu oge niile.
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;
9 Enweghị m mkpa maka oke ehi unu site nʼụlọ anụmanụ unu maọbụ mkpi site nʼọgba igwe ewu na atụrụ unu,
I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds:
10 nʼihi na ụmụ anụmanụ niile nke oke ọhịa bụ nke m, ha na ehi niile nọ nʼelu otu puku ugwu.
For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills;
11 Amaara m ụmụ nnụnụ niile nọ nʼelu ugwu niile, ihe niile e kere eke nọ nʼọhịa bụ nke m.
I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine:
12 Ọ bụrụ na agụụ agụọ m, agaghị m agwa gị ya, nʼihi na ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya bụ nke m.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Ana m ata anụ oke ehi, ka ọ bụ ọbara mkpi ka m ga-aṅụ?
Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?
14 “Chụọrọ Chineke aja ekele, mezuo nkwa i kwere Onye kachasị ihe niile elu,
Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High;
15 ma kpọkuo m nʼụbọchị nsogbu gị, aga m agbapụta unu, unu ga-enyekwa m nsọpụrụ.”
And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 Ma Chineke na-agwa ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ okwu sị, “Olee, nkwuwa okwu unu nwere ịgụgharị iwu m, maọbụ kwupụta ọgbụgba ndụ m nʼọnụ unu?
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,
17 Unu kpọrọ ndụmọdụ m asị, na-atụfekwa okwu m nʼazụ unu.
Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?
18 Mgbe unu hụrụ onye ohi, unu na ya na-ejikọta aka; unu na ndị na-akwa iko na-ekekọkwa oke.
When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;
19 Ọnụ unu na-eme ọsịịsọ ikwu okwu ọjọọ, okwu aghụghọ na nke rere ure na-esikwa nʼọnụ unu na-asọpụta dịka iyi.
Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit;
20 Unu na-ekwugide ụmụnna unu mgbe niile, na-ekwutọkwa nwanne unu nwoke.
Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son:
21 Ihe ndị a ka unu mere ma agbachiri m nkịtị; unu chekwara na adị m ka unu. Ma aga m abara unu mba ma bokwaa unu ebubo unu nʼihu unu.
These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
22 “Tụgharịa uche na nke a, unu ndị na-echefu Chineke, ma ọ bụghị ya, aga m adọrisi unu, ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-agbapụta unu.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer.
23 Onye na-eji ekele achụrụ m aja, na-asọpụrụ m, ọ bụkwa onye na-edozi ụzọ ya, ka m ga-eme ka ọ hụ nzọpụta Chineke.”
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth [his] way will I shew the salvation of God.
