AN INSTRUCTION OF ASAPH. Why, O God, have You cast off forever? Your anger smokes against the flock of Your pasture.
2 Cheta mba ahụ nke ị zụtara na mgbe ochie, ebo ahụ bụ ihe nketa gị, ndị ị gbapụtara, nʼugwu Zayọn ebe i biri.
Remember Your congregation [That] You purchased of old, You redeemed the rod of Your inheritance, This Mount Zion—You dwelt in it.
3 Tụgharịa nzọ ụkwụ gị bịa na mbibi ebighị ebi ndị a. Ọ bụ onye iro wetara ịla nʼiyi a niile nʼụlọnsọ a.
Lift up Your steps to the continuous desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Ndị iro gị gbọrọ ụja nʼebe i zutere anyị. Ha weliri ọkọlọtọ ha dịka ihe ịrịbama.
Your adversaries have roared, In the midst of Your meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.
5 Ha kpara agwa dịka ndị ikom ji anyụike ha ga-eji gbutuo ọtụtụ osisi dị nʼoke ọhịa.
He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood—axes.
6 Ha ji anyụike na egbugbu ha kụjisie ihe niile eji amachi ihe bụ nke egbunyere ihe.
And now they break down its engravings, Together, with axe and hatchet,
7 Ha kpọkwara ụlọnsọ gị ọkụ, mee ya ka o repịa. Ha merụrụ ụlọ obibi ahụ a kpọkwasịrị aha gị.
They have sent Your sanctuary into fire, They defiled the Dwelling Place of Your Name to the earth,
8 Ha sịrị nʼobi ha, “Anyị ga-etipịa ha kpamkpam!” Ha kpọrọ ebe niile a na-anọ efe Chineke nʼala a ọkụ.
They said in their hearts, “Let us oppress them together,” They burned all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9 Enyeghị anyị ihe ịrịbama ọbụla site nʼaka Chineke. Ọ dịkwaghị ndị amụma fọdụrụ. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti anyị onye maara, mgbe ihe a ga-agwụ.
We have not seen our ensigns, There is no longer a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.
10 O Chineke, ruo ole mgbe ka ndị iro ga-anọgide na-achị gị ọchị? Onye iro, ọ ga-eleli aha gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi?
Until when, O God, does an adversary reproach? Does an enemy despise Your Name forever?
11 Gịnị mere ị na-eseghachi aka gị azụ, e aka nri gị? Sepụta aka gị laa ha nʼiyi!
Why do You turn back Your hand, Even Your right hand? Remove [it] from the midst of Your bosom.
12 Ma gị, O Chineke, bụrịị eze m site na mgbe ochie. Ọ bụ gị na-arụpụta nzọpụta nʼelu ụwa.
And God [is] my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Site nʼike gị dị ukwuu i mere ka osimiri kewaa abụọ. Ọ bụ gị gwepịara isi anụ ọjọọ ahụ nʼime mmiri.
You have divided [the] sea by Your strength, You have shattered heads of dragons by the waters,
14 Ọ bụ gị gwepịara isi anụ ọjọọ ahụ a na-akpọ leviatan, mee ka ọ ghọọ nri nye ụmụ anụmanụ bi nʼọzara.
You have broken the heads of leviathan, You make him food for the people of desert-dwellers.
15 Ọ bụ gị mere ka isi iyi na mmiri iyi na-asọ. I mere ka osimiri na-eru eru mgbe niile taa.
You have cleaved a fountain and a stream, You have dried up perennial flowings.
16 Ehihie na abalị bụ nke gị. I mere ka anyanwụ na ọnwa guzosie ike.
The day [is] Yours, The night [is] also Yours, You have prepared a light-giver—the sun.
17 Ọ bụ gị kewapụtara oke ala niile nke ụwa. Ọ bụ gị mere ka ọkọchị na udu mmiri dị.
You have set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter—You have formed them.
18 O Onyenwe anyị, cheta otu onye iro si chịa gị ọchị, na otu ndị nzuzu si kwaa aha gị emo.
Remember this—an enemy reproached YHWH, And a foolish people have despised Your Name.
19 Ewerala ndụ nduru gị nyefee anụ ọhịa ọjọọ nʼaka. Echefukwala ndụ ndị gị a na-akpagbu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Do not give up to a [wild] creature, The soul of Your turtle-dove, Do not forget the life of Your poor ones forever.
20 Chetakwa ọgbụgba ndụ gị, nʼihi na ihe ike na-ejupụta ebe niile gbara ọchịchịrị nʼala a.
Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.
21 Ekwela ka ndị a na-akpagbu gbaghachi azụ nʼihere; ka ndị ogbenye na ndị nọ na mkpa too aha gị.
Do not let the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Your Name,
22 O Chineke, bilie, kpechitara onwe gị ikpe. Chetakwa otu ndị nzuzu si kọọ gị ọnụ ogologo ụbọchị niile.
Arise, O God, plead Your plea, Remember Your reproach from a fool all the day.
23 Elepụla mkpọtụ nke ndị iro gị niile anya, olu mkpọtụ nke ndị iro gị na-aga nʼihu na-ala elu.
Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The noise of Your withstanders is going up continually!
