Abụ Ọma 91
1 Onye ahụ na-ebi nʼebe mgbaba Onye kachasị ihe niile elu ga-ezu ike nʼokpuru ndo Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Nke a ka m ga-ekwu maka Onyenwe anyị, “Ọ bụ ebe mgbaba m na ebe nchebe m e wusiri ike, Chineke m, onye m na-atụkwasị obi m.”
I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.
3 Nʼezie, ọ ga-anapụta gị site nʼọnya nke onye osi ọnya na site nʼaka ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe na-eweta ịla nʼiyi.
For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
4 Ọ ga-eji nku ya kpuchie gị. Ọ bụkwa nʼokpuru nku ya abụọ, ka ị ga-agbaba zere ndụ, ikwesi ntụkwasị obi ya ga-echebe gị, ghọkwaara gị ọta.
He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.
5 Ị gaghị atụ egwu ihe ịtụ oke egwu nke abalị, maọbụ àkụ na-efegharị nʼehihie,
Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,
6 maọbụ ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe, nke na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe mbibi mberede na-eme nʼehihie.
for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 Puku mmadụ pụrụ ịda nʼakụkụ gị, iri puku mmadụ nwekwara ike ịda nʼakụkụ aka nri gị, ma ihe ọjọọ ndị a agaghị erute gị nso.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come near thee.
8 Ọ bụ naanị anya gị abụọ ka ị ga-eji hụ ntaramahụhụ nke ndị ajọ omume.
Thou shall only behold with thine eyes, and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Ọ bụrụ na i mee Onye kachasị ihe niile elu ebe obibi gị, ọ bụladị Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ ebe mgbaba m,
For thou, O Jehovah, are my refuge! Thou have made the Most High thy habitation.
10 mgbe ahụ, ihe ọjọọ ọbụla enweghị ike ịdakwasị gị; ihe ike ọbụla enweghị ike ịbịaru ụlọ obibi gị nso.
There shall no evil befall thee, nor shall any plague come near thy tent,
11 Nʼihi na ọ ga-enye ndị mmụọ ozi ya iwu banyere gị, ka ha chebe gị nʼụzọ gị niile.
for he will give his agents charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 Ha ga-eji ọbụ aka ha, bulie gị elu ime ka ị ghara ịkpọbi ụkwụ gị na nkume.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Ị ga-azọkwasị ọdụm na ajụala ụkwụ, zọgbukwaa ọdụm na-akpa ike, na agwọ ọjọọ.
Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the serpent thou shall trample under foot.
14 “Nʼihi na ọ hụrụ m nʼanya, Mụ onwe m ga-agbapụta ya, ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru; aga m echebe ya, nʼihi na ọ maara aha m.
Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known my name.
15 Ọ ga-akpọku m, aga m azakwa ya. Aga m anọnyere ya nʼime nsogbu ya, aga m adọpụta, ma sọpụrụkwa ya.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 Aga m eji ogologo ndụ mee ka afọ ju ya, gosikwa ya nzọpụta m.”
I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.
