Abụ Ọma 53

1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Nʼusoro Mahalat. Abụ maskil Devid. Onye nzuzu na-asị nʼime obi ya, “Ọ dịghị Chineke ọbụla dị.” Ha bụ ndị ajọ omume riri ahụ, ụzọ ha niile bụkwa ihe arụ; ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-eme ezi ihe.

To the Chief Musician. On Mahalath. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good: —

2 Chineke sitere nʼeluigwe na-ele ụmụ mmadụ anya, ịhụ ma ọ ga-achọta onye ọbụla nwere nghọta, onye nke na-achọ Chineke.

God, out of the heavens, looked down upon the sons of men, —To see whether there was one that showed wisdom, Enquiring after God.

3 Onye ọbụla, nʼotu nʼotu ewezugala onwe ha, ha niile abụrụla ndị ajọ omume riri ahụ; ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ziri ezi, ọ dịghị ọ bụladị otu onye.

They all, have turned back, together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, Not so much as, one!

4 Ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe, ha amaghị ihe? Ha na-eripịa ndị m dịka mmadụ si eri nri, ha adịghị akpọkukwa Chineke.

Are the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? Devouring my people, [as] they devour food? Upon God, have they not called.

5 Ma nʼebe ahụ ka ha nọ, nʼọnọdụ oke egwu, ebe ọ dịghị ihe egwu na-adịghị. Chineke fesasịrị ọkpụkpụ ndị niile megidere gị; i mere ka ihere mee ha, nʼihi na Chineke ajụla ha.

There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, —Thou hast put [him] to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

6 O, a sịkwarị na nzọpụta Izrel ga-esi na Zayọn pụta! Mgbe Chineke ga-akpọghachite ndị ya nʼọnọdụ ha, ka Jekọb ṅụrịa ọṅụ, ka Izrel nwekwaa obi ụtọ!

Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvations of Israel! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, shall be glad.
