Abụ Ọma 94
1 O Onyenwe anyị, Chineke onye na-abọ ọbọ, o Chineke, onye na-abọ ọbọ, zipụta onwe gị.
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Bilie, o Onye Ikpe nke ụwa; kwụghachi ndị nganga ụgwọ ọrụ ruuru ha.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe? Ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka ndị na-eme ajọ omume ga-anọgide na-aṅụrị ọṅụ?
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Ha na-ekwuwapụ okwu mpako; ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe jupụtara nʼitu ọnụ.
[How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Ha na-azọpịa ndị gị, O Onyenwe anyị; ha na-emegbu ihe nketa gị.
They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6 Ha na-egbu ndị di ha nwụrụ na ndị ọbịa; ha na-egbu ndị na-enweghị nna.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Ha na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị anaghị ahụ ihe ndị a; Chineke Jekọb na-agba nkịtị.”
Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard [it].
8 Lezienụ anya, unu ndị amamihe kọrọ nʼetiti ndị m; unu ndị nzuzu, olee mgbe unu ga-amụta ihe?
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Ọ pụtara na onye kpụrụ ntị anaghị anụ ihe? Ọ pụtara na onye kere anya anaghị ahụ ụzọ?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Ọ pụtara na onye na-adọ mba niile aka na ntị agaghị ata ha ahụhụ? Ọ pụtara na onye na-ezi mmadụ ihe enweghị ihe ọmụma?
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?
11 Onyenwe anyị maara echiche obi mmadụ; ọ maara na ihe mmadụ na-eche nʼobi ya bụ naanị ihe na-enweghị isi.
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
12 Onye a gọziri agọzi ka mmadụ ahụ bụ, onye ị na-adọ aka na ntị, O Onyenwe anyị, onye ahụ ị na-akụziri ihe site nʼiwu gị;
Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 ị na-enye ya izuike site nʼụbọchị nsogbu; tutu ruo mgbe a ga-egwuru ndị ajọ omume olulu.
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị ajụ ndị ya; ọ gaghị agbakụta ihe nketa ya azụ.
For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Ezi omume ga-abụ ntọala ikpe ikpe niile; ndị niile ndị ziri ezi nʼobi ga-agbasokwa ya.
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Onye ga-ebiliri m imegide ndị ajọ omume? Onye ga-eguzo nʼọnọdụ m imegide ndị na-eme ajọ ihe?
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 A sị na Onyenwe anyị abịaghị nyere m aka, agaara m rịị abụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Mgbe m kwuru sị, “Ụkwụ m na-agbuchapụ,” ọ bụ ịhụnanya gị, O Onyenwe anyị, kwagidere m.
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 Mgbe oke nchekasị obi batara nʼime m, nkasiobi gị wetara mkpụrụobi m ọṅụ.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 A ga-ejikọta gị na ocheeze ọchịchị ya rụrụ arụ, nke na-eweta mmekpa ahụ site nʼiwu ya?
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 Ndị ajọ omume na-ejikọta onwe ha imegide ndị ezi omume na-amakwa ndị aka ha dị ọcha ikpe ọnwụ.
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 Ma Onyenwe anyị a bụrụla ebe mgbaba e wusiri ike nye m, na Chineke m na oke nkume ebe m na-ezere ndụ.
But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge.
23 Ọ ga-akwụghachi ha ụgwọ ọrụ kwesiri mmehie ha, lakwaa ha nʼiyi nʼihi ajọ omume ha; Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ga-ala ha nʼiyi.
And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall cut them off.
