Abụ Ọma 56
1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Ọ bụ olu abụ “Nduru nọ nʼosisi Ook dị ebe dị anya.” Abụ nke Devid ka eji agụ ya. Abụ miktam. Mgbe ndị Filistia nọchibidoro ya nʼobodo Gat. O Chineke, meere m ebere, nʼihi na ndị mmadụ ji ike na-achụso m; ogologo ụbọchị niile, ha na-ebu agha imegide m.
To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:
2 Ogologo ụbọchị niile ndị iro m na-achụso m; site na nganga ha, ọtụtụ na-ebu agha megide m.
Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.
3 Ma mgbe ụjọ na-atụ m, ọ bụ na gị ka m na-atụkwasị obi m.
What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.
4 Nʼime Chineke onye m na-eto okwu ya, nʼime Chineke ka m na-atụkwasị obi; ụjọ agaghị atụ m. Gịnị ka mmadụ efu pụrụ ime m?
In God, I will praise his cause, —In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can flesh do unto me?
5 Ogologo ụbọchị niile, ha na-asụgharị okwu m kwuru isi; oge niile ka ha na-atụ atụmatụ imerụ m ahụ.
All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;
6 Ha na-agba izu nzuzo na-ezokwa onwe ha, ha na-enyochapụta nzọ ụkwụ m niile, dịkwa njikere ịnapụ m ndụ m.
They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps, —Seeing they have waited for my life.
7 Nʼihi ajọ omume ha, ekwekwala ka ha gbapụ; o Chineke, nʼime iwe gị, wedaa mba ndị a niile dị iche iche nʼala.
Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, —In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.
8 Depụta akwa arịrị m; chekọtasịa anya mmiri akwa m niile nʼime karama gị. Ọ bụ na ha adịghị nʼakwụkwọ ndepụta gị?
My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, —Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?
9 Mgbe m ga-akpọku gị maka enyemaka, ndị iro m ga-agbaghachi azụ. Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, aga m amara na Chineke nọnyeere m.
Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!
10 Nʼime Chineke, onye m na-eto okwu ya, nʼime Onyenwe anyị, onye m na-eto okwu ya,
In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;
11 nʼime Chineke ka m na-atụkwasị obi; ụjọ agaghị atụ m. Gịnị ka mmadụ pụrụ ime m?
In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!
12 O Chineke m, nʼisi m ka nkwa niile m kwere gị dị; aga m ewetara gị onyinye ekele m niile.
Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.
13 Nʼihi na ị zọpụtala m site nʼọnwụ, ma napụta ụkwụ m site nʼịsọ ngọngọ, ka m nwee ike jegharịa nʼihu Chineke, nʼìhè nke ndụ.
For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.
