A PSALM OF ASAPH. The God of gods—YHWH—has spoken, And He calls to the earth From the rising of the sun to its going in.
2 Chineke na-enwupụta dịka ìhè, site na Zayọn, nke zuruoke nʼime ịma mma.
From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
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 comes, and is not silent, Fire devours before Him, And around Him it has been very tempestuous.
4 Ọ na-akpọku eluigwe na ụwa ka o kpee ndị ya ikpe: Ọ na-asị,
He calls to the heavens from above, And to the earth, to judge His people.
5 “Chikọtaranụ m ndị m e doro nsọ, bụ ndị mụ na ha ji ịchụ aja gbaa ndụ.”
Gather My saints to Me, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
6 Eluigwe na-ekwupụta ezi omume ya, nʼihi na Chineke nʼonwe ya bụ onye ikpe. (Sela)
And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judging. (Selah)
7 “Nụrụnụ, ndị m, m ga-ekwukwa, Izrel, aga m agba ama megide unu, Abụ m Chineke, Chineke unu.
Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against you, God—I [am] your God.
8 Anaghị m abara unu mba nʼihi ịchụ aja unu, na aja nsure ọkụ unu nke na-adị m nʼihu oge niile.
I do not reprove you for your sacrifices, Indeed, your burnt-offerings [Are] 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 do not take a bullock from your house, [Or] male goats from your 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 livestock on the hills of oxen.
11 Amaara m ụmụ nnụnụ niile nọ nʼelu ugwu niile, ihe niile e kere eke nọ nʼọhịa bụ nke m.
I have known every bird of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
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 am hungry I do not tell [it] to you, For the world and its fullness [is] Mine.
13 Ana m ata anụ oke ehi, ka ọ bụ ọbara mkpi ka m ga-aṅụ?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of male goats?
14 “Chụọrọ Chineke aja ekele, mezuo nkwa i kwere Onye kachasị ihe niile elu,
Sacrifice to God confession, And complete your vows to the Most High.
15 ma kpọkuo m nʼụbọchị nsogbu gị, aga m agbapụta unu, unu ga-enyekwa m nsọpụrụ.”
And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver you, and you honor 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?
And to the wicked God has said: What to you—to recount My statutes? That you lift up My covenant on your mouth?
17 Unu kpọrọ ndụmọdụ m asị, na-atụfekwa okwu m nʼazụ unu.
Indeed, you have hated instruction, And cast My words behind you.
18 Mgbe unu hụrụ onye ohi, unu na ya na-ejikọta aka; unu na ndị na-akwa iko na-ekekọkwa oke.
If you have seen a thief, Then you are pleased with him, And your portion [is] 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.
You have sent forth your mouth with evil, And your tongue joins deceit together,
20 Unu na-ekwugide ụmụnna unu mgbe niile, na-ekwutọkwa nwanne unu nwoke.
You sit, you speak against your brother, You give slander against a son of your mother.
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 you did, and I kept silent, You have thought that I am like you, I reprove you, and set in array before your 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 understand this, You who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is 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.”
He who is sacrificing praise honors Me, As for him who makes a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
