< Abụ Ọma 83 >
1 Abụ, bụ Abụ Ọma Asaf. O! Chineke agbachikwala nkịtị. Biko, Chineke, ahapụkwala ikwu okwu, anọkwala jụụ.
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not thou silence: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 Lee na ndị iro gị nọ na-ebigbọ, ndị kpọrọ gị asị na-eweli isi ha.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 Ha ji aghụghọ na-agba izu imegide ndị gị; ha na-atụ atụmatụ ọjọọ megide ndị ị hụrụ nʼanya.
They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult together against thy hidden ones.
4 Ha na-asị, “Bịanụ ka anyị laa mba a nʼiyi, ka a ghara ichetakwa aha Izrel ọzọ.”
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 Ha ji otu obi na-agbarịta izu; ha agbaala ndụ imegide gị,
For they have consulted together with one consent; against thee do they make a covenant:
6 ụlọ ikwu niile nke ndị Edọm, na ndị Ishmel, na ndị Moab, na ndị Haga,
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 na ndị Gebal, na ndị Amọn, na ndị Amalek, na ndị Filistia, ha na ndị Taịa.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
8 Ọ bụladị ndị Asịrịa esorokwala ha, ịgba ndị agbụrụ Lọt ume. (Sela)
Assyria also is joined with them; they have holpen the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Mee ha dịka i si mee ndị Midia, na dịka i mere Sisera na Jabin, nʼakụkụ iyi Kishọn,
Do thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon:
10 ndị lara nʼiyi nʼEndoa ma ghọọ ihe dịka nsị anụ e kpofuru ekpofu nʼala.
Which perished at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
11 Mee ka ndị ọgaranya ha dịka Oreb na Zeeb, ka ụmụ ndị ikom eze ha niile dịka Zeba na Zalmuna,
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna:
12 ndị sịrị, “Ka anyị nwetara onwe anyị, ebe ịta nri ụmụ anụmanụ niile nke Chineke.”
Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.
13 O Chineke m, mee ha ka dịka ahịhịa ifufe na-efegharị gburugburu, maọbụ dịka igbugbo ọka nʼebe ifufe dị.
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
14 Dịka ọkụ na-erepịa oke ọhịa, maọbụ nke na-ere nʼelu ugwu,
As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire;
15 si otu a were oke ifufe chụọ ha ọsọ, jiri oke ifufe nke na-eso mmiri ozuzo mee ka ha nọrọ nʼọnọdụ obi ọlụlọ mmiri.
So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy storm.
16 Were ihere kpuchie ha ihu, ka ndị mmadụ si otu a chọọ aha gị, O Onyenwe anyị.
Fill their faces with confusion; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Ka ha nọdụ nʼọnọdụ ihere na ịda mba mgbe niile; ka ha laa nʼiyi nʼọnọdụ mweda nʼala.
Let them be ashamed and dismayed for ever; yea, let them be confounded and perish:
18 Mee ka ha mata na gị, onye aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, na ọ bụ naanị gị bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu nʼụwa niile.
That they may know that thou alone, whose name is JEHOVAH, art the Most High over all the earth.
