Abụ Ọma 64
1 Abụ Ọma dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. Nụrụ olu m O Chineke, mgbe m na-akọsara gị ihe na-esogbu m. Chebe ndụ m site nʼaka ndị iro m.
For the music director. A psalm of David. God, please listen to my complaint. Protect me because my enemies scare me.
2 Zopu m pụọ nʼizu nzuzo niile nke ndị ọjọọ, site nʼatụmatụ ndị na-eme ajọ ihe.
Shelter me from the plots of the wicked, from this evil mob.
3 Ha na-amụ ire ha dịka e si amụ mma agha, na-agbapụ okwu dịka àkụ ọjọọ.
What they say cuts like swords; they fire off poisonous words like arrows.
4 Ha na-agba onye na-enweghị ihe o mere àkụ site nʼebe nzuzo, na mberede ka ha na-agba ya, na-atụghị egwu.
They shoot from their hiding places at innocent people—doing this without warning, not afraid of being caught.
5 Ha na-agbarịta ibe ha ume na-atụmatụ ọjọọ, ha na-ekwu banyere isi ọnya ha na nzuzo, ha na-asị, “Onye ga-ahụ ya?”
They encourage one another to do evil, planning how to secretly trap people, telling themselves, “Nobody will notice.”
6 Ha na-atụpụta atụmatụ ọjọọ na-asị, “Anyị echepụtala atụmatụ zuruoke!” Nʼezie, uche na obi mmadụ dị aghụghọ.
They plot wicked things. “What a great plan we've created!” they say. There are no limits to the depths to which human minds and thoughts can sink.
7 Ma Chineke ga-agba ha àkụ, na mberede ka a ga-etida ha.
But God will shoot them with arrows; all of a sudden they will be wounded.
8 Ọ ga-atụgharị okwu ọnụ ha megide ha, mee ka ha laa nʼiyi; ndị niile hụrụ ha ga-efufe isi ha nʼịkwa emo.
What they themselves say will trip them up; people who see them will mock them, shaking their heads at them.
9 Mmadụ niile ga-atụ egwu, ha ga-ekwupụta ọrụ niile nke Chineke, ma tụgharịa uche nke ọma banyere ihe o mere.
Then everyone will be frightened. They will say that this is the work of God, and they will think about what he has done.
10 Ndị ezi omume ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị, ha ga-agbabakwa nʼime ya; ndị niile obi ha ziri ezi ga-anyakwa isi nʼime ya.
Those who are right with the Lord will be happy in him, they will go to him for protection. Those who live right will praise him.
