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 sitteth under the shelter of the Most High Maketh his abode in 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 say to the LORD, Thou art 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.
Surely he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the wasting 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 feathers, And under his wings shalt thou find refuge; His faithfulness shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Ị gaghị atụ egwu ihe ịtụ oke egwu nke abalị, maọbụ àkụ na-efegharị nʼehihie,
Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night, Nor of the arrow that flieth 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 pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor of the plague that destroyeth 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 by thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But thee it shall not touch.
8 Ọ bụ naanị anya gị abụọ ka ị ga-eji hụ ntaramahụhụ nke ndị ajọ omume.
Thou shalt only behold with thine eyes, And see the recompense 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,
Because thou hast made the LORD thy refuge, And 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.
No evil shall befall thee, Nor any plague come near thy dwelling.
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 angels charge over thee, To guard 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 shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; The young lion and the dragon shalt thou 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 loveth me, I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knoweth my name.
15 Ọ ga-akpọku m, aga m azakwa ya. Aga m anọnyere ya nʼime nsogbu ya, aga m adọpụta, ma sọpụrụkwa ya.
When he calleth upon me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honor.
16 Aga m eji ogologo ndụ mee ka afọ ju ya, gosikwa ya nzọpụta m.”
With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.”
