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.
Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.
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.”
He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.
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 shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.
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 shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.
5 Ị gaghị atụ egwu ihe ịtụ oke egwu nke abalị, maọbụ àkụ na-efegharị nʼehihie,
You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;
6 maọbụ ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe, nke na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe mbibi mberede na-eme nʼehihie.
[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.
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 your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
8 Ọ bụ naanị anya gị abụọ ka ị ga-eji hụ ntaramahụhụ nke ndị ajọ omume.
Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.
9 Ọ bụrụ na i mee Onye kachasị ihe niile elu ebe obibi gị, ọ bụladị Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ ebe mgbaba m,
For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.
10 mgbe ahụ, ihe ọjọọ ọbụla enweghị ike ịdakwasị gị; ihe ike ọbụla enweghị ike ịbịaru ụlọ obibi gị nso.
No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.
11 Nʼihi na ọ ga-enye ndị mmụọ ozi ya iwu banyere gị, ka ha chebe gị nʼụzọ gị niile.
For he shall give his angels charge concerning you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 Ha ga-eji ọbụ aka ha, bulie gị elu ime ka ị ghara ịkpọbi ụkwụ gị na nkume.
They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
13 Ị ga-azọkwasị ọdụm na ajụala ụkwụ, zọgbukwaa ọdụm na-akpa ike, na agwọ ọjọọ.
You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.
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.
For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, 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 listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
16 Aga m eji ogologo ndụ mee ka afọ ju ya, gosikwa ya nzọpụta m.”
I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.
