Abụ Ọma 81
1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi Abụ. Abụ nke Asaf nʼusoro gittit. Bụkuo Chineke bụ ike anyị abụ ọṅụ, tikusie Chineke Jekọb mkpu ike!
For the music director. On the gittith. A psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
2 Bidonụ iti egwu, kụọ ihe iti egwu, kpọọnụ ụbọ akwara na-enye abụ ụtọ na une.
Start the song! Play the tambourine, sweet-sounding lyre, and harp.
3 Fụọnụ opi ike nʼoge ọnwa ọhụrụ, na mgbe ọnwa gbapụtara nʼuju ya, nʼụbọchị mmemme anyị;
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, and at full moon, to begin our festivals,
4 nke a bụ iwu dịrị Izrel, ụkpụrụ Chineke nke Jekọb.
for this is a rule for Israel, a regulation of the God of Jacob.
5 O mere ka o guzosie ike dịka iwu nye Josef mgbe ọ pụrụ imegide Ijipt. Anụkwara m olu nʼasụsụ nke m na-amaghị, ka ọ na-asị:
God made this statute for Joseph when he opposed the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I didn't know, saying:
6 “Ewezugala m ibu arọ site nʼubu ha; aka ha abụọ nwere onwe ha site nʼịrụ ọrụ.
“I took the load from your shoulders; I freed your hands from carrying heavy baskets.
7 Nʼime ihe mgbu unu, unu kpọrọ oku, anapụtara m unu, azara m unu site nʼegbe eluigwe; anwara m unu na mmiri nke Meriba. (Sela)
In your suffering you cried out to me, and I saved you. I answered you from the thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 “Nụrụnụ, ndị m, aga m adọ unu aka na ntị, a sịkwarị na unu ga-ege m ntị, unu ndị Izrel!
My people, listen to my warnings! Israel, please listen to me!
9 Unu agaghị enwe chi ndị mba ọzọ nʼetiti unu; unu agaghị akpọkwa isiala nye chi si ala ọzọ.
There must not be a strange god among you; you must never bow down to foreign gods and worship them.
10 Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt. Meghe ọnụ unu ka ọ saa mbara, aga m emeju ya.
I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
11 “Ma ndị m ekweghị ige m ntị. Izrel emekwaghị dịka m gwara ha.
But my people didn't listen to me. Israel didn't want anything to do with me.
12 Ya mere, ahapụrụ m ha na ndụ isiike ha, ka ha soro nchepụta nke echiche ha.
So I sent them away to follow their stubborn thinking, living as they chose.
13 “Ewoo, a sị na ndị m gaara ege m ntị, a sịkwa na Izrel ga-eso ụzọ m niile.
If only my people would listen to me; if only Israel would follow my ways!
14 Ọ gaghị adị anya mgbe m ga-eji ike m, wezuga ndị iro ya site nʼọnọdụ ha. Aga m eweli aka m, megide ndị iro ya niile.
It wouldn't take me long to conquer their enemies, to strike down their foes.
15 Ndị niile kpọrọ Onyenwe anyị asị, ga-ada nʼihu ya nʼụjọ. Ịta ahụhụ ha ga-adịgidekwa, ruo ebighị ebi.
Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, forever doomed.
16 Ma a ga-eji ụtụ ọka wiiti kachasị mma, nyejuo unu afọ; aga m ejikwa mmanụ aṅụ nke sitere nʼoke nkume, nyejuo unu afọ.”
But I would feed you the best wheat and satisfy you with honey from the rock.”
