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 leader. On the gittith. 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.
Raise a song, sound the timbrel, sweet lyre and harp.
3 Fụọnụ opi ike nʼoge ọnwa ọhụrụ, na mgbe ọnwa gbapụtara nʼuju ya, nʼụbọchị mmemme anyị;
On the new moon blow the horn, at the full moon, the day of our festival.
4 nke a bụ iwu dịrị Izrel, ụkpụrụ Chineke nke Jekọb.
For this is a statute for Israel, a ruling 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:
a witness he set up in Joseph, when he marched against Egypt’s land, where he heard an unknown voice say:
6 “Ewezugala m ibu arọ site nʼubu ha; aka ha abụọ nwere onwe ha site nʼịrụ ọrụ.
‘I removed from your shoulder the burden, and freed your hands 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)
At your call of distress I delivered you, from the thundercloud I answered you. At Meribah’s waters I tested you. (Selah)
8 “Nụrụnụ, ndị m, aga m adọ unu aka na ntị, a sịkwarị na unu ga-ege m ntị, unu ndị Izrel!
‘Listen, my people, to my warning, O Israel, if you would but listen!
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 bow to no foreign god.
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 up out of Egypt. Open your mouth, that I fill it.
11 “Ma ndị m ekweghị ige m ntị. Izrel emekwaghị dịka m gwara ha.
‘But my people did not listen to my voice, Israel would have none of me.
12 Ya mere, ahapụrụ m ha na ndụ isiike ha, ka ha soro nchepụta nke echiche ha.
So to their own hard hearts I left them, to follow their own devices.
13 “Ewoo, a sị na ndị m gaara ege m ntị, a sịkwa na Izrel ga-eso ụzọ m niile.
O that my people would listen, that Israel 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.
Soon would I humble their enemies, and turn my hand on 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 in everlasting terror.
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 you would I feed with the richest wheat, and with honey from the rock to your heart’s desire.’
