Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob [Supplanter]!
2 Bidonụ iti egwu, kụọ ihe iti egwu, kpọọnụ ụbọ akwara na-enye abụ ụtọ na une.
Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
3 Fụọnụ opi ike nʼoge ọnwa ọhụrụ, na mgbe ọnwa gbapụtara nʼuju ya, nʼụbọchị mmemme anyị;
Blow the shofar ·ram horn· at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.

For it is a statute for Israel [God prevails], an judgement of the God of Jacob [Supplanter].
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:
He appointed it in Joseph [May he add] for a testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], I sh'ma ·heard obeyed· a language that I didn’t know.
6 “Ewezugala m ibu arọ site nʼubu ha; aka ha abụọ nwere onwe ha site nʼịrụ ọrụ.
“I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
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)
You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah [Quarreling].” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
8 “Nụrụnụ, ndị m, aga m adọ unu aka na ntị, a sịkwarị na unu ga-ege m ntị, unu ndị Izrel!
“Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel [God prevails], if you would listen to me!
9 Unu agaghị enwe chi ndị mba ọzọ nʼetiti unu; unu agaghị akpọkwa isiala nye chi si ala ọzọ.
There shall be no strange deity in you, neither shall you hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship any foreign deity.
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 Adonai, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. 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 sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Israel [God prevails] desired none of me.
12 Ya mere, ahapụrụ m ha na ndụ isiike ha, ka ha soro nchepụta nke echiche ha.
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13 “Ewoo, a sị na ndị m gaara ege m ntị, a sịkwa na Izrel ga-eso ụzọ m niile.
Oh that my people would sh'ma ·hear obey· me, that Israel [God prevails] would walk in 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.
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
15 Ndị niile kpọrọ Onyenwe anyị asị, ga-ada nʼihu ya nʼụjọ. Ịta ahụhụ ha ga-adịgidekwa, ruo ebighị ebi.
The haters of Adonai would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
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 he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
