Abụ Ọma 52

1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ maskil Devid. Nke o bụrụ mgbe Doeg onye Edọm gara gwa Sọl sị, “Devid gara hụ Ahimelek nʼụlọ ya.” Gịnị mere i ji na-anya isi nʼihe ọjọọ, gị nwoke dị ike? Gịnị mere na ogologo ụbọchị niile, ị na-anya isi, gị onye Chineke na-eleda anya?

For the leader. A maskil of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul that David had gone to Abimelech’s house. Why glory in mischief, you hero? God’s kindness is all the day.

2 Ire gị na-atụ atụmatụ ịla nʼiyi; ọ dị ka agụba dị nkọ, gị onye na-ebi ndụ aghụghọ.

Engulfing ruin you plot, your tongue like a razor sharpened, you practiser of deceit.

3 Ị hụrụ ihe ọjọọ nʼanya karịa ihe ọma, ị hụrụ okwu ụgha nʼanya karịa eziokwu. (Sela)

Evil, not good, you love, and falsehood, not words of truth. (Selah)

4 O onye ire aghụghọ! Ị hụrụ okwu ọbụla nke na-emegide mmadụ nʼanya.

But you love all words that devour, and a tongue that is given to deceit.

5 Nʼezie, Chineke ga-akwatu gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ọ ga-ejide gị, dọpụta gị site nʼụlọ ikwu gị, ọ ga-ehopukwa gị site nʼala ndị dị ndụ. (Sela)

But God, on his part, shall destroy you forever, grasp you and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Ndị ezi omume ga-ahụ ya tụkwaa egwu; ha ga-achị ya ọchị na-asị,

Smitten with awe at the sight, the righteous shall laugh at you.

7 “Ugbu a, lee nwoke ahụ, onye jụrụ ime Chineke ebe mgbaba ya. Ọ tụkwasịrị obi ya na akụnụba ya nke dị ukwuu. O sitekwara na ibibi ndị ọzọ ghọọ onye dị ike!”

“Look” (they will say) “at the hero who did not make God his stronghold, but trusted in his great wealth and in the strength of his riches.”

8 Ma adị m ka osisi oliv, nke na-eto na-awasa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke. Ana m atụkwasị obi m nʼịhụnanya Chineke, nke na-adịgide ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.

But I am like a fresh olive-tree in the house of God. I trust in the kindness of God for ever and evermore.

9 Aga m eto gị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi nʼihi ihe i mere; aga m eto gị nʼihu ndị gị dị nsọ. Olileanya m ga-adị nʼime aha gị, nʼihi na aha gị dị mma.

I will render you thanks for ever for what you have done. I will tell how good you are in the presence of those who love you.
