Abụ Ọma 77
1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Maka Jedutun. Abụ nke Asaf. Abụ Ọma. Etikuru m Chineke nʼoke olu maka enyemaka; etikuru m Chineke mkpu ka ọ nụrụ olu m.
For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.
2 Mgbe m nọ nʼihe mgbu, ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka m chọrọ. Nʼanyasị, esetipụrụ m aka m abụọ, ike na-agwụghị, mmụọ m jụkwara ka a akasịe ya obi.
In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
3 O Chineke, echetara m gị, sụkwaa ude; echere m echiche, mkpụrụobi m dakwara mba. (Sela)
I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. (Pause)
4 I kweghị ka anya m abụọ mechie; nʼihi oke mwute m, enweghị m ike kwuo okwu.
All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
5 Echere m echiche banyere ụbọchị niile gara aga, na afọ niile ndị gara aga.
I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
6 Echetara m abụ niile m na-abụ nʼime anyasị. Mkpụrụobi m nọ nʼọnọdụ ntụgharị uche, mmụọ m jụkwara ajụjụ.
And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
7 “Onyenwe anyị ọ ga-agbakụta m azụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi? Ọ pụtara na ọ gaghị egosi ihuọma ya ọzọ?
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
8 Ọ pụtara na ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịgide ruo ebighị ebi agwụla? Ọ pụtara na nkwa ya agaghị emezu ruo ebighị ebi?
Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
9 Chineke, o chefuola i mere anyị ebere? O jichiela ọmịiko ya nʼihi iwe?” (Sela)
Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? (Pause)
10 Mgbe ahụ, ekwuru m, “Lee ọnọdụ ọjọọ m, afọ niile mgbe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu setịpụrụ aka nri ya.
And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
11 Aga m echeta ọrụ niile Onyenwe anyị rụrụ; e, aga m echeta ihe ịrịbama niile i mere nʼoge gara aga.
I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.
12 Aga m atụgharịa uche m nʼọrụ gị niile, tuleekwa ọrụ ukwuu gị niile dị iche iche.”
And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.
13 O Chineke, ụzọ gị niile dị nsọ. Olee chi dị ukwuu dịka Chineke anyị?
O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
14 Ị bụ Chineke onye na-arụ ọrụ ebube dị iche iche; ị na-egosipụta ike gị nʼetiti ụmụ mmadụ.
You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power among the nations.
15 I ji aka gị dị ike gbapụta ndị gị, bụ ụmụ ụmụ Jekọb na Josef. (Sela)
You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Pause)
16 Osimiri hụrụ gị, O Chineke, osimiri hụrụ gị, taa; ogbu mmiri mere mkpọtụ.
The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
17 Igwe ojii wụpụrụ mmiri, mkpọtụ egbe eluigwe jupụtara mbara eluigwe; àkụ gị gburu amụma ebe niile.
[There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad.
18 A nụrụ ụda egbe eluigwe gị nʼoke ifufe, amụma gị nyere ụwa niile ihe; elu ụwa niile mara jijiji, tụkwaa oke egwu.
The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
19 Ọ bụ nʼosimiri ka nzọ ụkwụ gị gara, ụzọ gị gara nʼetiti oke osimiri, ọ bụ ezie na ahụghị m nzọ ụkwụ gị anya.
Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’t be known.
20 I sitere nʼaka Mosis na Erọn duo ndị gị dịka igwe atụrụ.
You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
