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 by Asaph. The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
2 Chineke na-enwupụta dịka ìhè, site na Zayọn, nke zuruoke nʼime ịma mma.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.
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 does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
4 Ọ na-akpọku eluigwe na ụwa ka o kpee ndị ya ikpe: Ọ na-asị,
He calls to the heavens above, 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 my holy ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6 Eluigwe na-ekwupụta ezi omume ya, nʼihi na Chineke nʼonwe ya bụ onye ikpe. (Sela)
The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (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. Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, 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 don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. 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 have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
10 nʼihi na ụmụ anụmanụ niile nke oke ọhịa bụ nke m, ha na ehi niile nọ nʼelu otu puku ugwu.
For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on 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 birds of the mountains. The wild animals 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 you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13 Ana m ata anụ oke ehi, ka ọ bụ ọbara mkpi ka m ga-aṅụ?
Will I eat the meat of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 “Chụọrọ Chineke aja ekele, mezuo nkwa i kwere Onye kachasị ihe niile elu,
Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
15 ma kpọkuo m nʼụbọchị nsogbu gị, aga m agbapụta unu, unu ga-enyekwa m nsọpụrụ.”
Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will 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?
But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
17 Unu kpọrọ ndụmọdụ m asị, na-atụfekwa okwu m nʼazụ unu.
since you hate instruction, and throw 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.
When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated 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 give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
20 Unu na-ekwugide ụmụnna unu mgbe niile, na-ekwutọkwa nwanne unu nwoke.
You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your 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.
You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of 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 consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.
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.”
Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”
