Abụ Ọma 62
1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Maka Jedutun. Abụ Ọma Devid. Ọ bụ naanị nʼime Chineke ka mkpụrụobi m na-achọta izuike. Nzọpụta m na-esite na ya na-abịa.
God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].
2 Naanị ya bụ oke nkume m na nzọpụta m; ọ bụ ebe mgbaba m e wusiri ike, agaghị m ama jijiji nʼọnọdụ m.
Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].
3 Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-anọgide na-ebuso agha megide nwoke a? Unu niile, unu chọrọ ịkwatu ya, ebe ọ bụ naanị mgbidi na-ada ada, mgbidi na-esighị ike e ji osisi wuo?
When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].
4 Ha ekpebiela isite nʼọnọdụ ya dị elu kwatuo ya; okwu ụgha na-atọ ha ụtọ. Ha na-eji ọnụ ha na-agọzi, ma nʼime obi ha, ha na-abụ ọnụ. (Sela)
My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].
5 O mkpụrụobi m, chọta ezumike naanị nʼime Chineke; olileanya m na-esite na ya na-abịa.
God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].
6 Naanị ya bụ oke nkume m, na onye nzọpụta m. Naanị ya kwa bụ ebe mgbaba m e wusiri ike, agaghị m ama jijiji nʼọnọdụ m.
Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.
7 Nzọpụta m na nsọpụrụ m dabeere na Chineke, Ọ bụ oke nkume m, ebe mgbaba m.
God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].
8 Tụkwasịnụ ya obi mgbe niile, unu ndị mmadụ; kwupụtaranụ ya obi unu, nʼihi na Chineke bụ ebe mgbaba anyị. (Sela)
[You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
9 Ndị nta nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ bụ naanị otu nkuume, ndị ukwu bụ naanị ụgha; ọ bụrụ na a tụọ ha nʼihe ọtụtụ, ha bụ ihe efu; ha niile bụ naanị otu nkuume.
People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.
10 Unu atụkwasịla obi unu nʼiji aka ike kpata ego, maọbụ tụkwasị olileanya unu nʼihe e zuru ezu; akụ unu nwere ike mụbaa, unu atụkwasịla ha obi.
Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.
11 Chineke ekwuola otu ihe, ihe abụọ ka m nụrụ: “Na gị, O Chineke, dị ike,
I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
12 na gị, Onyenwe anyị, jupụtara nʼịhụnanya. Nʼezie, ị ga-akwụghachi onye ọbụla dịka ọrụ ya si dị.”
and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
