Abụ Ọma 97
1 Onyenwe anyị bụ eze, ka ụwa niile nwee obi ụtọ; ka ndị niile bi nʼebe dị anya ṅụrịa.
The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
2 Igwe ojii na oke ọchịchịrị gbara ya gburugburu; ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi bụ ntọala ocheeze ya.
He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
3 Ọkụ na-enwu enwu na-aga nʼihu ya ọ na-erepịasị ndị iro ya nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla.
Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
4 Amụma ya na-acha chazuo elu ụwa niile; ụwa niile na-ahụ ya na-ama jijiji.
His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
5 Ugwu niile na-agbaze dịka mmanụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihu Onyenwe ụwa niile.
The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Eluigwe na-ekwuwapụta ezi omume ya; ndị niile bi nʼụwa na-ahụkwa ebube ya.
The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.
7 A na-eme ka ihere mee ndị niile na-efe arụsị niile a pịrị apị ofufe, ndị na-anya isi na chi niile e jiri aka mee feenụ ya ofufe, unu chi niile!
All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
8 Zayọn na-anụ ma na-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ, obodo nta niile nke Juda na-enwekwa obi ụtọ nʼihi ikpe gị, O Onyenwe anyị.
Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
9 Nʼihi na gị, O Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu nʼụwa niile; ị bụ onye e buliri elu karịa chi ndị ọzọ niile.
For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
10 Ka unu, ndị hụrụ Onyenwe anyị nʼanya, kpọọ ihe ọjọọ asị, nʼihi na ọ na-echebe ndụ ndị nke ya, ndị tụkwasịrị ya obi ma na-anapụtakwa ha site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume.
You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
11 Ìhè na-amụkwasị onye ezi omume, ọṅụ na-adịkwa nʼime obi onye na-eme ihe ziri ezi.
Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
12 Ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị ezi omume, tookwanụ aha nsọ ya.
Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
