Abụ Ọma 66
1 Abụ dịrị onyeisi abụ. Otu Abụ. Abụ Ọma. Ụwa niile, jirinụ ọṅụ tikuo Chineke!
“To the chief musician, a song or psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God, all ye lands:
2 Bụọ abụ banyere ebube aha ya; meenụ ka otuto ya bụrụ ihe dị ebube!
Sing forth the glory of his name; make glorious his praise.
3 Gwa Chineke okwu sị ya, “Lee ka ọrụ gị niile si dị oke egwu! Ike gị dị nnọọ ukwu, ya mere ndị iro gị, na-ada nʼihu gị nʼihi ụjọ.
Say unto God, How fear-inspiring is every one of thy works! through the greatness of thy strength will thy enemies yield feigned obedience unto thee.
4 Ndị niile bi nʼụwa na-akpọ isiala nye gị; ha na-abụku gị abụ otuto, ha na-abụ abụ otuto nye aha gị.” (Sela)
All the lands shall bow themselves down unto thee, and shall sing praises unto thee; they shall sing praises to thy name. (Selah)
5 Bịa lee ihe Chineke mere, ụdị ọrụ oke egwu ọ na-arụ nʼihi mmadụ!
Come and see the deeds of God: fear-inspiring is his doing toward the children of men.
6 O mere ka osimiri ghọọ ala akọrọ, ha ji ụkwụ si nʼetiti osimiri gafee; bịanụ ka anyị ṅụrịa nʼime ya.
He changed the sea into dry land: through the river they went on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 Ọ na-achị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi site nʼike ya, anya ya na-elekwa mba niile, ka ndị nnupu isi ghara ịfụlị onwe ha elu megide ya. (Sela)
He ruleth by his might for ever; his eyes look upon the nations: the rebellious—these shall not be exalted. (Selah)
8 Toonu Chineke anyị, unu mmadụ niile, kwere ka a nụ ụda otuto ya;
Bless, O ye people, our God, and cause the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 O chebela ndụ anyị, ma mee ka ụkwụ anyị ghara ịmịchapụ.
Who hath appointed our soul to life, and hath not suffered our foot to slip.
10 Nʼihi na ọ bụ gị, O Chineke, nwara anyị; ị nụchara anyị dịka ọlaọcha.
For thou hast proved us, O God: thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.
11 Ị kpọbatara anyị nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ma bokwasị ibu dị arọ nʼazụ anyị.
Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast placed fetters upon our loins.
12 I kwere ka ndị mmadụ rịa anyị elu; anyị esitela nʼime ọkụ na nʼime mmiri gafee. Ị kpọbatala anyị ebe anyị nwezuru ihe niile.
Thou hast caused men to ride on our head: we entered into fire and into water; but thou broughtest us out to [the enjoyment] of overflowing plenty. a
13 Aga m e ji aja nsure ọkụ bata nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu gị, imezu nkwa m kwere gị
I will enter thy house with burnt-offerings: I will pay unto thee my vows,
14 nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe m ji ọnụ m kwuo, ọ bụkwa nke a ka egbugbere ọnụ m kwupụtara na m ga-eme nʼoge nsogbu m.
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.
15 Aga m eji anụ ndị gbara abụba chụọrọ gị aja, ya na aja onyinye nke ọtụtụ ebule; Aga m achụkwa aja onyinye nke ọtụtụ oke ehi na mkpi. (Sela)
Burnt-offerings of fatlings will I offer up unto thee, with the incense of rams; I will prepare steers with he-goats. (Selah)
16 Bịanụ nụrụ, unu niile na-atụ egwu Chineke; ka m kọọrọ unu ihe o meere m.
Come, hear, and I will relate, all ye that fear God, what he hath done for my soul.
17 Eji m ọnụ m kpọkuo ya; otuto ya dị m nʼire.
Unto him I cried with my mouth, and a song of extolling was on my tongue.
18 Ọ bụrụ na mmehie na-amasị m nʼime obi m, Onyenwe anyị agaraghị ege m ntị;
If I had looked on wickedness with my heart, the Lord would not have heard;
19 ma Chineke gere ntị nʼezie, nụrụkwa olu arịrịọ m.
But verily God hath heard; he hath listened to the voice of my prayer.
20 Otuto dịrị Chineke, onye na-ajụghị ekpere m maọbụ ghara izi m ịhụnanya ya!
Blessed be God, who hath not removed my prayer [from him], nor his kindness from me.
