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 of Ethan, the Ezrahite.” I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever; With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations!
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 know that thy mercy endureth for ever; Thou hast established thy truth like the heavens.
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 chosen; I have sworn to 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)
Thy family I will establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations.” (Pause)
5 O Onyenwe anyị, eluigwe na-eto ọrụ ebube gị niile, na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị, nʼetiti nzukọ ndị dị nsọ.
The heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD! And the assembly of the holy ones thy truth!
6 Nʼihi, ọ bụ onye nʼeluigwe niile, ka a ga-eji tụnyere Onyenwe anyị? Onye yiri Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ndị mmụọ ozi niile?
Who in the heavens can be compared to Jehovah? Who is like Jehovah among the sons of God?
7 Na nzukọ ndị nsọ, Chineke bụ onye a na-atụ oke egwu; ọ dị oke egwu karịa ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu.
A God greatly to be feared in the assembly of the holy ones, And to be had in reverence above all who are around 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 Jehovah, God of hosts! Who is mighty like thee, O Jehovah? 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 the raging of the sea; When the waves thereof rise, thou stillest them!
10 Ị zọpịara Rehab dịka otu nʼime ndị ahụ e gburu egbu; jiri aka gị dị ike chụsasịa ndị iro gị.
Thou didst break Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou didst scatter thine enemies with thy mighty arm.
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 are thine; thine also is the earth; The world and all that is therein, thou didst found them.
12 Ọ bụ gị kere ugwu na ndịda; Taboa na Hemon na-abụ abụ ọṅụ nʼihi aha gị.
The North and the South were created by thee; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
13 Aka gị ka e mejupụtara nʼike; aka gị dị ike, a na-ebuli aka nri gị elu.
Thine is a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high thy right hand.
14 Ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi, bụ ntọala ocheeze gị; ịhụnanya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi, na-aga nʼihu gị.
Justice and equity are the foundation of thy throne; Mercy and truth go before thy face.
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 the people that know the trumpet's sound! They walk, O LORD! in the light of thy countenance;
16 Ha na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼaha gị ogologo ụbọchị niile; ha na-aṅụrị nʼezi omume gị.
In thy name they daily rejoice, And in thy righteousness they glory!
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; Yea, through thy favor our horn exalteth itself!
18 Nʼezie, ọta anyị bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, eze anyị bụkwa nke Onye nsọ Izrel.
For from Jehovah is our shield, And from 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.
Once thou spakest in a vision to thy holy one, And saidst, —”I have laid help on one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from 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 him shall my hand be established, And 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 have power over him, Nor shall the unrighteous man oppress him.
23 Aga m etigbu ndị iro ya niile nʼihu ya. Aga m emekwa ka ndị niile na-akpọ ya asị laa nʼiyi.
For I will beat down his foes before him, And overthrow them that hate him.
24 Ịhụnanya m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi ga-adịnyere ya, site nʼaha m, a ga-ebuli mpi ya elu.
My faithfulness and mercy 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.
I will extend his hand to the sea, And his right hand to the rivers.
26 Ọ ga-akpọ m sị m, ‘Ị bụ Nna m, bụrụkwa Chineke m, na oke Nkume nzọpụta m.’
He shall say to 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.
I will also make him my first-born, 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.
My mercy I will continue to him for ever; My covenant with him shall be steadfast.
29 Aga m eme ka agbụrụ ya guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ocheeze ya ga-adịgidekwa dịka eluigwe na-adịgide.
I will make his family to endure for ever; And his throne shall be as lasting as the heavens.
30 “Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ya elefuo iwu m niile anya, gharakwa ijegharị nʼụzọ m niile,
Should his children forsake my law, And walk not in my statutes,
31 ọ bụrụ na ha elelịa ụkpụrụ m niile anya, hapụkwa idebe ihe m nyere ha nʼiwu,
Should they break my commandments, And observe not my precepts,
32 aga m eji mkpọrọ taa ha ahụhụ maka mmehie ha, tikwaa ha ụtarị maka njehie ha;
I will punish their transgressions with a rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
33 ma agaghị m ewezuga ịhụnanya m, nʼebe ha nọ. Ma ọ bụ laa azụ nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi m.
But my kindness will I not withdraw from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 Agaghị m emerụ ọgbụgba ndụ m. Agakwaghị m agbanwe ihe ọbụla siterela nʼọnụ m pụta.
I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what hath gone from my lips.
35 Ejirila m ịdị nsọ m ṅụọ iyi, kpebie na m apụghị ịghara Devid ụgha,
Once have I sworn in my holiness, That I will not be false unto David.
36 na agbụrụ ya ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ocheeze ya ga-adịgidekwa nʼihu m ka anyanwụ na-adịgide.
His family shall endure for ever, And his throne as 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)
It shall be established for ever like the moon; Like the faithful witness in the sky.”
38 Ma ị jụla, i werela nlelị jụkwa, i na-ewe iwe dị ukwu megide onye gị e tere mmanụ.
But now thou forsakest and abhorrest, And art angry with, thine 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 with thy servant; Thou hast cast 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.
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 Ndị niile si ụzọ ahụ na-agafe, ezuruchaala ihe niile o nwere. Ndị agbataobi ya na-akwakwa ya emo.
All who pass by plunder him; He is 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 lifted up the right hand of his enemies; Thou hast made all his adversaries to rejoice.
43 I meela ka aka o ji jide mma agha ya sụọ ngọngọ, i nyereghị ya aka mgbe agha dara.
Yea, thou hast turned the edge of his sword, And made him unable to stand in battle.
44 I meela ka ịma mma ya gwụsịa. Ị tụdakwala ocheeze ya nʼala.
Thou hast brought his glory to an end, And hast cast down his throne 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 covered him with shame.
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, O LORD! wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thine anger burn like fire?
47 Cheta, na ndụ m bụ ihe na-agafe ngwangwa. Nʼihi ihe efu gịnị ka i ji kee mmadụ niile!
Remember how short is my life, To what frailty thou hast created all 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 liveth, and seeth not death? Who can deliver himself from the underworld? (Sheol h7585)
49 O Onyenwe anyị, olee ebe oke ịhụnanya mbụ dị, nke i sitere nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi gị ṅụọrọ Devid nʼiyi?
Where, Lord, is thy former loving-kindness Which thou didst swear to David in 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, O Lord! the reproach of thy servants, How I bear in my bosom the taunts 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.
With which thine enemies have reproached me, O LORD! With which they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed!
52 Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
[Praised be Jehovah for ever! Amen, yea, amen!]
