Abụ Ọma 89
1 Abụ maskil nke Etan, onye Ezra. Aga m abụ abụ banyere oke ịhụnanya Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; aga m eji ọnụ m mee ka ọgbọ niile mara maka ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị.
A psalm (maskil) of Ethan the Ezraite I will sing of the Lord's trustworthy love forever; I will tell all generations of your faithfulness.
2 Aga m ekwupụta na ịhụnanya gị na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; na i mere ka ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị, guzosie ike nʼeluigwe.
For I have said, “Your unfailing love lasts forever; your faithfulness endures as long as the heavens.”
3 Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Mụ na onye m họpụtara agbaala ndụ. Aṅụọkwala m iyi nye ohu m Devid sị,
You said, “I have made an agreement with my chosen one, I gave a binding promise to my servant David:
4 ‘Aga m eme ka agbụrụ gị guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi meekwa ka ocheeze gị dịgide ruo ọgbọ niile.’” (Sela)
I will make sure your lineage lasts forever; I will keep your throne secure for all generations.” (Selah)
5 O Onyenwe anyị, eluigwe na-eto ọrụ ebube gị niile, na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị, nʼetiti nzukọ ndị dị nsọ.
All the heavenly beings will sing of the wonderful things you have done, Lord; angels will gather to sing of your faithfulness.
6 Nʼihi, ọ bụ onye nʼeluigwe niile, ka a ga-eji tụnyere Onyenwe anyị? Onye yiri Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ndị mmụọ ozi niile?
For who in heaven can compare to the Lord? Who is like the Lord even among the angels?
7 Na nzukọ ndị nsọ, Chineke bụ onye a na-atụ oke egwu; ọ dị oke egwu karịa ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu.
The heavenly council are in awe of God; all who surround him are overwhelmed by him.
8 O Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye dịka gị? Gị, O Onyenwe anyị, dị ike nke ukwuu, ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị na-agba gị gburugburu.
Lord God Almighty, who is as powerful as you? In all this, Lord, you are completely trustworthy.
9 Ị na-achị osimiri nke ji ike na-asọ; mgbe ebili mmiri ya na-amali elu; i na-eme ka ha dajụọ.
You rule the restless seas; you calm their stormy waves.
10 Ị zọpịara Rehab dịka otu nʼime ndị ahụ e gburu egbu; jiri aka gị dị ike chụsasịa ndị iro gị.
You crushed Rahab the sea-monster to death; by your power you scattered your enemies.
11 Ọ bụ gị nwe eluigwe; gị nwekwa ụwa, ọ bụ gị tọrọ ntọala elu ụwa dum, na ihe niile dị nʼime ya.
The heavens belong to you, and the earth too; you made the world and everything in it.
12 Ọ bụ gị kere ugwu na ndịda; Taboa na Hemon na-abụ abụ ọṅụ nʼihi aha gị.
You created north and south; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon celebrate you.
13 Aka gị ka e mejupụtara nʼike; aka gị dị ike, a na-ebuli aka nri gị elu.
Your arm is powerful. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is held up high in command.
14 Ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi, bụ ntọala ocheeze gị; ịhụnanya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi, na-aga nʼihu gị.
Your character of goodness and fairness is the basis for the way you rule; dependable love and trustworthiness are always with you.
15 Ndị a gọziri agọzi ka ndị ahụ bụ ndị na-eji olu iti mkpu ọṅụ na-abụku gị abụ, ndị na-ejegharịkwa nʼìhè nke ihu gị, O Onyenwe anyị.
How happy are those who know how to shout your praises, Lord. They live in the light of your presence.
16 Ha na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼaha gị ogologo ụbọchị niile; ha na-aṅụrị nʼezi omume gị.
They celebrate the person you are all day long, so glad that you do what's right.
17 Nʼihi na ị bụ ebube na ike ha, site nʼihuọma gị, ị na-ebuli mpi anyị elu.
They rely on you, their glory and strength; by your grace you lift us up.
18 Nʼezie, ọta anyị bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, eze anyị bụkwa nke Onye nsọ Izrel.
Yes, the Lord is the one who shields us, and our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.
19 I kwuru okwu otu mgbe site nʼọhụ, nye ndị gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi sị: “Enyela m otu onye dị ike agha ike; Ebuliela m otu nwa okorobịa elu site nʼetiti ndị m.
Once you spoke in a vision to your faithful servant and said, “I have given strength to the warrior I have chosen from the people to become king.
20 Achọtala m Devid ohu m, were mmanụ nsọ m tee ya.
I have selected David my servant, and I have anointed him with the oil of my holiness.
21 Aka m ga-agba ya ume; nʼezie, aka m ga-eme ka ọ dị ike.
I have placed my hand on him to steady him; and I have made him strong by my powerful arm.
22 Ọ dịghị onye iro ga-abịakwasị ya, na mberede; ọ dịghị onye ajọ omume ga-emegbu ya.
His enemies will not deceive him; the wicked will not bring him down.
23 Aga m etigbu ndị iro ya niile nʼihu ya. Aga m emekwa ka ndị niile na-akpọ ya asị laa nʼiyi.
I will wipe out his enemies before him; I will strike down those who hate him.
24 Ịhụnanya m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi ga-adịnyere ya, site nʼaha m, a ga-ebuli mpi ya elu.
My trustworthiness and unfailing love will be with him, and through me he will be victorious.
25 M ga-edo aka ya nʼoke osimiri, dokwaa aka nri ya nʼosimiri niile.
I will extend his rule from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.
26 Ọ ga-akpọ m sị m, ‘Ị bụ Nna m, bụrụkwa Chineke m, na oke Nkume nzọpụta m.’
He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’
27 Aga m eme ya nwa mbụ m, onye kachasị dị elu nʼebe eze niile nke ụwa nọ.
I will also make him my first-born son, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 Aga m eme ka ịhụnanya m nwere nʼebe ọ nọ dịgide ruo ebighị ebi, ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na ya ga-adịgidekwa.
I will love him faithfully forever; my agreement with him shall never come to an end.
29 Aga m eme ka agbụrụ ya guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ocheeze ya ga-adịgidekwa dịka eluigwe na-adịgide.
I will make sure his royal line lasts forever; his dynasty will continue as long as the heavens endure.
30 “Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ya elefuo iwu m niile anya, gharakwa ijegharị nʼụzọ m niile,
But if his descendants abandon my laws, if they do not follow my rules,
31 ọ bụrụ na ha elelịa ụkpụrụ m niile anya, hapụkwa idebe ihe m nyere ha nʼiwu,
if they break my decrees, and do not keep my commandments,
32 aga m eji mkpọrọ taa ha ahụhụ maka mmehie ha, tikwaa ha ụtarị maka njehie ha;
I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a rod, and their sin by lashing them with a whip.
33 ma agaghị m ewezuga ịhụnanya m, nʼebe ha nọ. Ma ọ bụ laa azụ nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi m.
However, I will not take away my love from him; I will not break my promise to him.
34 Agaghị m emerụ ọgbụgba ndụ m. Agakwaghị m agbanwe ihe ọbụla siterela nʼọnụ m pụta.
I will not annul the agreement I have with him; I will not alter a single word I've said.
35 Ejirila m ịdị nsọ m ṅụọ iyi, kpebie na m apụghị ịghara Devid ụgha,
By my holy character I have made a vow to David that I will not lie to him.
36 na agbụrụ ya ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ocheeze ya ga-adịgidekwa nʼihu m ka anyanwụ na-adịgide.
His royal line will last forever, and his dynasty will continue before me as long as the sun endures.
37 Ọ ga-adịgide ruo ebighị ebi dịka ọnwa. E, dịka ọnwa ahụ, onye akaebe m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi na mbara eluigwe.” (Sela)
It will continue forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the heavens.” (Selah)
38 Ma ị jụla, i werela nlelị jụkwa, i na-ewe iwe dị ukwu megide onye gị e tere mmanụ.
But you have rejected and abandoned him! You are angry with your chosen king!
39 Ị jụla ọgbụgba ndụ gị na ohu gị gbara i merụọla okpueze ya nʼime ntụ dị nʼala.
You have broken the agreement you had with him; you have thrown his crown to the ground!
40 Ị kụtuola mgbidi gbara ya gburugburu, i meela ka ebe ya niile e wusiri ike bụrụ ihe dapịara adapịa.
You have torn down his defensive walls; you have ruined his fortresses.
41 Ndị niile si ụzọ ahụ na-agafe, ezuruchaala ihe niile o nwere. Ndị agbataobi ya na-akwakwa ya emo.
Everyone who passes by has robbed him; he has become an object of mockery to the nations nearby.
42 I meela ka aka nri ndị iro ya dị elu; mekwaa ka ndị iro ya ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
You have made his enemies strong; you have made them celebrate their victory.
43 I meela ka aka o ji jide mma agha ya sụọ ngọngọ, i nyereghị ya aka mgbe agha dara.
You have repelled his sharp sword; you have not helped him in battle.
44 I meela ka ịma mma ya gwụsịa. Ị tụdakwala ocheeze ya nʼala.
You took away his glory; you threw his throne to the ground.
45 I meela ka ụbọchị ndụ nke okorobịa ya dị mkpụmkpụ. I ji ihere dịka akwa kpuchie ya.
You have made him grow old before his time; you have totally humiliated him. (Selah)
46 Ruo ole mgbe Onyenwe anyị, ka ị ga-ezonarị onwe gị? Ruo ole mgbe ka iwe gị dị ukwuu ga-eregide dịka ọkụ?
How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself from us forever, your anger burning like fire?
47 Cheta, na ndụ m bụ ihe na-agafe ngwangwa. Nʼihi ihe efu gịnị ka i ji kee mmadụ niile!
Remember me—my life is so short! Why did you bother creating futile humanity?
48 Olee onye ahụ nwere ike ịdị ndụ ghara ịhụ ọnwụ anya, maọbụ zọpụta onwe ya site nʼike nke ili? (Sela) (Sheol h7585)
There's no one who doesn't die—no one can save themselves from the power of the grave. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 O Onyenwe anyị, olee ebe oke ịhụnanya mbụ dị, nke i sitere nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi gị ṅụọrọ Devid nʼiyi?
Where is the trustworthy love you used to have, Lord, that you faithfully promised to David?
50 Onyenwe m, cheta otu e si leda ndị ohu gị anya, otu m si anagide nʼime obi m ịchị ọchị niile nke ndị mba niile.
Don't forget, Lord, how your servants are being humiliated! I'm burdened down with the insults of so many nations!
51 O Onyenwe anyị, ịchị ọchị nke ndị iro gị ji akwa m emo, nke ha ji lelịa nzọ ụkwụ niile nke onye gị i tere mmanụ.
Your enemies taunt me, Lord, mocking your king wherever he goes.
52 Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
May the Lord be blessed for ever. Amen and amen.
