To the Chief Musician. For "the Lilies of Testimony." Asaph’s. A Melody. O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Thou who leddest forth Joseph like a rock, Thou who art throned on the cherubim, appear!
2 nʼihu Ifrem, Benjamin na Manase. Kpọtee ịdị ike gị, bịa zọpụta anyị.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, And come! to our salvation.
3 O Chineke, kpọghachi anyị azụ, mee ka ihu gị nwukwasị anyị, ka e nwee ike ịzọpụta anyị.
O God, bring us back, And light up thy face, That we may be saved.
4 O Onyenwe anyị, Chineke, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ruo ole mgbe ka iwe gị ga-adị ọkụ megide ekpere ndị gị?
O Yahweh, God of hosts! How long hast thou been wroth with the prayer of thy people?
5 I jirila anya mmiri dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ achịcha zụọ ha nri; i meela ka ha ṅụọ anya mmiri nʼihe ọtụtụ.
Thou hast fed them with the food of tears, And hast caused them to drink the water of weeping in threefold abundance.
6 I meela ka anyị bụrụ ihe na-eweta esemokwu nʼetiti ndị agbataobi anyị, ndị iro anyị na-achịkwa anyị ọchị.
Thou dost make us an object of contention to our neighbours, And, our foes, find mockery for themselves.
7 O Chineke, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, kpọghachi anyị azụ, mee ka ihu gị nwukwasị anyị, ka e nwee ike ịzọpụta anyị.
O God of hosts, bring us back, And light up thy face, That we may be saved.
8 I sitere nʼala Ijipt wepụta osisi vaịnị; ị chụpụrụ mba ndị ọzọ, kụọ ya.
A vine out of Egypt, thou didst remove, Thou didst cast out nations, and plant it;
9 Ị sụchaara ya ala, mgbọrọgwụ ya bara nʼime ala nke ọma, o jupụtakwara ala ahụ niile.
Thou didst make a clear space before it, So it rooted well its roots, and filled up the land;
10 Ndo ya kpuchiri ugwu niile, alaka ya gbasara kpuchie osisi sida ukwu sida.
Covered were the mountains with its shade, And, with its boughs, the mighty cedars.
11 Ọ wasaala alaka ya ruo oke osimiri wasaakwa ume ya ruo osimiri.
It thrust forth its branches as far as the sea, —And, unto the River, its shoots.
12 Gịnị mere i ji tiwasịa mgbidi ya niile si otu a mee ka ndị niile na-agafe ghọrọ mkpụrụ ya?
Wherefore hast thou broken down its fences, So that all who pass along the way, pluck its fruit?
13 Oke ezi si nʼoke ọhịa na-emebisi ya, ụmụ ahụhụ si nʼọhịa dị iche iche na-ejikwa ya emere ihe oriri.
The boar out of the forest, browseth upon it, And, the wild beast of the field, pastureth thereon.
14 Lọghachikwute anyị, O Chineke, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Si nʼeluigwe ledata anya ma hụ! Letakwa osisi vaịnị a,
O God of hosts, return, we pray thee, —Look down out of the heavens, and see, And inspect this vine:
15 mgbọrọgwụ nke aka nri gị kụrụ, ọkpara nke ị zụlitere nye onwe gị.
Yea the stock which thy right hand planted, Even upon the son thou didst secure for thyself.
16 E gbutuola osisi vaịnị gị, e ji ọkụ repịa ya; mgbe ị bara mba, ndị gị na-ala nʼiyi.
To be burned with fire, it is cut down, —At the rebuke of thy countenance, they will perish.
17 Ka aka gị dịkwasị nwoke ahụ nọ nʼaka nri gị, nwa nke mmadụ onye ị zụlitere nye onwe gị.
Let thy hand be, Upon the Man of thy right hand, Upon the Son of Man thou didst secure for thyself;
18 Mgbe ahụ, anyị agaghị esikwa nʼebe ị nọ laghachi azụ; tutee anyị, anyị ga-akpọkukwa aha gị.
So will we not draw back from thee, Thou wilt bring us to life, And, on thy Name, will we call.
19 Kpọghachi anyị azụ, O Onyenwe anyị, Chineke, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile mee ka ihu gị nwukwasị anyị, ka e nwee ike zọpụta anyị.
O Yahweh, God of hosts! bring us back, Light up thy face, That we may be saved.
