Abụ Ọma 94
1 O Onyenwe anyị, Chineke onye na-abọ ọbọ, o Chineke, onye na-abọ ọbọ, zipụta onwe gị.
Lord, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth.
2 Bilie, o Onye Ikpe nke ụwa; kwụghachi ndị nganga ụgwọ ọrụ ruuru ha.
Rise up, judge of the earth, pay back the proud what they deserve.
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 exult,
4 Ha na-ekwuwapụ okwu mpako; ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe jupụtara nʼitu ọnụ.
with their blustering arrogant words, their braggart and wicked speech,
5 Ha na-azọpịa ndị gị, O Onyenwe anyị; ha na-emegbu ihe nketa gị.
crushing your people, Lord, and afflicting your heritage,
6 Ha na-egbu ndị di ha nwụrụ na ndị ọbịa; ha na-egbu ndị na-enweghị nna.
murdering widows and strangers, slaying the fatherless?
7 Ha na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị anaghị ahụ ihe ndị a; Chineke Jekọb na-agba nkịtị.”
They think that the Lord does not see, nor 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?
Take heed, you dullest of people; when will you be wise, you fools?
9 Ọ pụtara na onye kpụrụ ntị anaghị anụ ihe? Ọ pụtara na onye kere anya anaghị ahụ ụzọ?
Is he deaf, who shaped the ear? Is he blind, who fashioned the eye?
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?
Can he who trains nations not punish them he who teaches knowledge to people?
11 Onyenwe anyị maara echiche obi mmadụ; ọ maara na ihe mmadụ na-eche nʼobi ya bụ naanị ihe na-enweghị isi.
The Lord knows the thoughts of people, that only a breath are they.
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;
Happy are those whom you chasten, and teach out of your law,
13 ị na-enye ya izuike site nʼụbọchị nsogbu; tutu ruo mgbe a ga-egwuru ndị ajọ omume olulu.
keeping them calm in the day of misfortune, till a pit be dug for the wicked.
14 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị ajụ ndị ya; ọ gaghị agbakụta ihe nketa ya azụ.
For the Lord will not leave his people, he will not forsake his inheritance.
15 Ezi omume ga-abụ ntọala ikpe ikpe niile; ndị niile ndị ziri ezi nʼobi ga-agbasokwa ya.
For the righteous shall come to their rights, and all true-hearted people shall follow them.
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 those who do evil? Who will stand up for me against workers of wrong?
17 A sị na Onyenwe anyị abịaghị nyere m aka, agaara m rịị abụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
Were it not for the help of the Lord, I would soon have gone to the silent grave.
18 Mgbe m kwuru sị, “Ụkwụ m na-agbuchapụ,” ọ bụ ịhụnanya gị, O Onyenwe anyị, kwagidere m.
When I thought that my foot was slipping, your kindness, Lord, held me up.
19 Mgbe oke nchekasị obi batara nʼime m, nkasiobi gị wetara mkpụrụobi m ọṅụ.
When with cares my heart was crowded, your comforts make me glad.
20 A ga-ejikọta gị na ocheeze ọchịchị ya rụrụ arụ, nke na-eweta mmekpa ahụ site nʼiwu ya?
Can corrupt justice be your ally, framing mischief by statute?
21 Ndị ajọ omume na-ejikọta onwe ha imegide ndị ezi omume na-amakwa ndị aka ha dị ọcha ikpe ọnwụ.
They assail the life of the righteous, and innocent blood condemn.
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 sure retreat, 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.
He will bring back their sin upon them, for their wickedness he will destroy them; the Lord our God will destroy them.
