Abụ Ọma 8

1 Abụ Ọma dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid nʼusoro gittit. O Onyenwe anyị Onyenwe anyị, lee ka ịdị ukwuu nke aha gị si jupụta ụwa niile! I meela ka ebube gị dị elu nʼime eluigwe.

To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

2 Site nʼotuto ụmụntakịrị na ụmụ na-aṅụ ara, ị tọọla ntọala siri ike megide ndị iro gị, ka e si otu a mechie ọnụ onye iro na onye ahụ na-abọ ọbọ.

Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

3 Mgbe ọbụla m lere anya na mbara eluigwe, hụ ọrụ niile nke aka gị rụrụ, mgbe m lere anya nʼelu hụ ọnwa na kpakpando i tinyere nʼọnọdụ ha,

When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

4 gịnị ka mmadụ bụ i ji na-eche banyere ha? Gịnịkwa ka mmadụ bụ iji na-elekọta ha?

What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

5 I mere ka ha dị ala nwantakịrị nʼebe ndị mmụọ ozi nọ, I jikwa ebube na nsọpụrụ kpube ya nʼisi dịka okpueze.

For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

6 I mekwaala ya ka ọ bụrụ onyeisi nke ihe niile i kere eke, tinyekwa ihe niile nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya.

Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

7 Ọ na-achị igwe ewu na atụrụ, na ehi, na ụmụ anụ ọhịa ndị ọzọ niile,

All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

8 na nnụnụ niile, na azụ niile, na anụ ndị ọzọ na-ebi nʼime mmiri.

The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, lee ka ịdị ukwuu nke aha gị si jupụta ụwa niile.

O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!
