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 Maskil of Ethan the Ezrachite.” The kindnesses of the Lord will I for ever sing: from generation to generation will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.
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, To eternity will kindness be built up: the heavens—yea, in these wilt thou establish thy faithfulness.
3 Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Mụ na onye m họpụtara agbaala ndụ. Aṅụọkwala m iyi nye ohu m Devid sị,
“I have made a covenant with my elect, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 ‘Aga m eme ka agbụrụ gị guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi meekwa ka ocheeze gị dịgide ruo ọgbọ niile.’” (Sela)
Unto eternity will I establish thy seed, and I will build up thy throne, from generation to generation.” (Selah)
5 O Onyenwe anyị, eluigwe na-eto ọrụ ebube gị niile, na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị, nʼetiti nzukọ ndị dị nsọ.
And the heavens praise thy wonder, O Lord: also thy faithfulness in the assembly of holy ones.
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 the sky can be compared unto the Lord? who can be likened unto the Lord among the sons of the mighty?
7 Na nzukọ ndị nsọ, Chineke bụ onye a na-atụ oke egwu; ọ dị oke egwu karịa ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu.
God is greatly terrific in the secret council of the holy ones and fear-inspiring over all that are about 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.
O Lord God of hosts, who is powerful, like thee, Eternal! and thy faithfulness is round about thee.
9 Ị na-achị osimiri nke ji ike na-asọ; mgbe ebili mmiri ya na-amali elu; i na-eme ka ha dajụọ.
Thou rulest over the pride of the sea: when its waves are lifted up, thou assuagest them.
10 Ị zọpịara Rehab dịka otu nʼime ndị ahụ e gburu egbu; jiri aka gị dị ike chụsasịa ndị iro gị.
Thou didst crush Rahab as one that is slain: with thy strong arm didst thou scatter thy enemies.
11 Ọ bụ gị nwe eluigwe; gị nwekwa ụwa, ọ bụ gị tọrọ ntọala elu ụwa dum, na ihe niile dị nʼime ya.
Thine are the heavens, also thine is the earth: as for the world and what filleth it, thou hast founded them.
12 Ọ bụ gị kere ugwu na ndịda; Taboa na Hemon na-abụ abụ ọṅụ nʼihi aha gị.
The north and the south—these hast thou created: Tabor and Chermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Aka gị ka e mejupụtara nʼike; aka gị dị ike, a na-ebuli aka nri gị elu.
Thine is the powerful arm, with might: strong is thy hand, and exalted is thy right hand.
14 Ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi, bụ ntọala ocheeze gị; ịhụnanya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi, na-aga nʼihu gị.
Righteousness and justice are the prop of thy throne: kindness and truth precede thy presence.
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.
Happy is the people that know the cornet's sound: O Lord, in the light of thy countenance will they ever walk firmly.
16 Ha na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼaha gị ogologo ụbọchị niile; ha na-aṅụrị nʼezi omume gị.
In thy name will they be glad all the day, and in thy righteousness will they be exalted.
17 Nʼihi na ị bụ ebube na ike ha, site nʼihuọma gị, ị na-ebuli mpi anyị elu.
For thou art the glory of their strength; and through thy favor will our horn be exalted.
18 Nʼezie, ọta anyị bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, eze anyị bụkwa nke Onye nsọ Izrel.
For of the Lord is our shield; and of the Holy One of Israel is our king.
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.
Then spokest thou in a vision to thy pious [servant], and saidst, “I have bestowed help to one that is mighty; I have exalted a youth out of the people;
20 Achọtala m Devid ohu m, were mmanụ nsọ m tee ya.
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him;
21 Aka m ga-agba ya ume; nʼezie, aka m ga-eme ka ọ dị ike.
With whom my hand shall be firmly established; also my arm shall strengthen him;
22 Ọ dịghị onye iro ga-abịakwasị ya, na mberede; ọ dịghị onye ajọ omume ga-emegbu ya.
The enemy shall not exact from him like a lender: and the son of injustice shall not afflict him:
23 Aga m etigbu ndị iro ya niile nʼihu ya. Aga m emekwa ka ndị niile na-akpọ ya asị laa nʼiyi.
And I will beat down before his face his assailants, and those that hate him will I plague.
24 Ịhụnanya m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi ga-adịnyere ya, site nʼaha m, a ga-ebuli mpi ya elu.
But my faithfulness and my kindness shall be with him: and through my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 M ga-edo aka ya nʼoke osimiri, dokwaa aka nri ya nʼosimiri niile.
And I will place on the sea his hand, and on the rivers his right hand.
26 Ọ ga-akpọ m sị m, ‘Ị bụ Nna m, bụrụkwa Chineke m, na oke Nkume nzọpụta m.’
He will call unto me, Thou art 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.
Also I will appoint my first-born, the highest among 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.
For evermore will I keep for him my kindness, and my covenant shall stand faithfully with him.
29 Aga m eme ka agbụrụ ya guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ocheeze ya ga-adịgidekwa dịka eluigwe na-adịgide.
And I appoint for ever his seed, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 “Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ya elefuo iwu m niile anya, gharakwa ijegharị nʼụzọ m niile,
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my ordinances;
31 ọ bụrụ na ha elelịa ụkpụrụ m niile anya, hapụkwa idebe ihe m nyere ha nʼiwu,
If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments:
32 aga m eji mkpọrọ taa ha ahụhụ maka mmehie ha, tikwaa ha ụtarị maka njehie ha;
Then will I visit with the rod their transgressions, and with plagues their iniquity.
33 ma agaghị m ewezuga ịhụnanya m, nʼebe ha nọ. Ma ọ bụ laa azụ nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi m.
Nevertheless my kindness will I not make utterly void from him, and I will not act falsely against my faithfulness.
34 Agaghị m emerụ ọgbụgba ndụ m. Agakwaghị m agbanwe ihe ọbụla siterela nʼọnụ m pụta.
I will not profane my covenant, and what is gone out of my lips will I not alter.
35 Ejirila m ịdị nsọ m ṅụọ iyi, kpebie na m apụghị ịghara Devid ụgha,
One thing have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie unto David.
36 na agbụrụ ya ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ocheeze ya ga-adịgidekwa nʼihu m ka anyanwụ na-adịgide.
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne shall be like the sun before me.
37 Ọ ga-adịgide ruo ebighị ebi dịka ọnwa. E, dịka ọnwa ahụ, onye akaebe m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi na mbara eluigwe.” (Sela)
Like the moon shall it be firmly established for ever, and as this faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)
38 Ma ị jụla, i werela nlelị jụkwa, i na-ewe iwe dị ukwu megide onye gị e tere mmanụ.
And yet thou hast east off and despised, thou hast become wroth with thy anointed.
39 Ị jụla ọgbụgba ndụ gị na ohu gị gbara i merụọla okpueze ya nʼime ntụ dị nʼala.
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned, down to the ground, his crown.
40 Ị kụtuola mgbidi gbara ya gburugburu, i meela ka ebe ya niile e wusiri ike bụrụ ihe dapịara adapịa.
Thou hast broken down all his fences: thou hast brought his strong-holds to terror.
41 Ndị niile si ụzọ ahụ na-agafe, ezuruchaala ihe niile o nwere. Ndị agbataobi ya na-akwakwa ya emo.
All that pass by the way plunder him: he is become a reproach to his neighbors.
42 I meela ka aka nri ndị iro ya dị elu; mekwaa ka ndị iro ya ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
Thou hast raised up the right hand of his assailants: thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
43 I meela ka aka o ji jide mma agha ya sụọ ngọngọ, i nyereghị ya aka mgbe agha dara.
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not let him stand erect in the battle.
44 I meela ka ịma mma ya gwụsịa. Ị tụdakwala ocheeze ya nʼala.
Thou hast made his brilliancy cease; and his throne hast thou thrown down to the ground.
45 I meela ka ụbọchị ndụ nke okorobịa ya dị mkpụmkpụ. I ji ihere dịka akwa kpuchie ya.
Thou hast shortened the days of his youth: thou hast enshrouded him with shame. (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, wilt thou hide thyself, continually? how long shall thy fury burn like fire?
47 Cheta, na ndụ m bụ ihe na-agafe ngwangwa. Nʼihi ihe efu gịnị ka i ji kee mmadụ niile!
Remember [what] I am, what my duration is [here], for what nothingness thou hast created all sons of men!
48 Olee onye ahụ nwere ike ịdị ndụ ghara ịhụ ọnwụ anya, maọbụ zọpụta onwe ya site nʼike nke ili? (Sela) (Sheol h7585)
What man is there that can live, and shall not see death? that can deliver his soul from the power of the nether word? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 O Onyenwe anyị, olee ebe oke ịhụnanya mbụ dị, nke i sitere nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi gị ṅụọrọ Devid nʼiyi?
Where are thy former kindnesses, O Lord, which thou hast sworn unto David by thy truth?
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.
Remember, Lord, the disgrace of thy servants; that I bear in my bosom the [burden] of all the 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.
That thy enemies have defied, O Lord; that they have defied the footsteps of thy anointed.
52 Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
