LORD God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
8 I sitere nʼala Ijipt wepụta osisi vaịnị; ị chụpụrụ mba ndị ọzọ, kụọ ya.
You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.

You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.

The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars.
11 Ọ wasaala alaka ya ruo oke osimiri wasaakwa ume ya ruo osimiri.
It sent out its branches to the sea, its shoots to the River.
12 Gịnị mere i ji tiwasịa mgbidi ya niile si otu a mee ka ndị niile na-agafe ghọrọ mkpụrụ ya?
Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
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 wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.

the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
16 E gbutuola osisi vaịnị gị, e ji ọkụ repịa ya; mgbe ị bara mba, ndị gị na-ala nʼiyi.
It’s burnt with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
17 Ka aka gị dịkwasị nwoke ahụ nọ nʼaka nri gị, nwa nke mmadụ onye ị zụlitere nye onwe gị.
Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.

Turn us again, LORD God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
