Psalms 37
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not yourself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity.
Abụ Ọma Devid. Echegbula onwe gị nʼihi ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, maọbụ kwosa ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ ekworo;
2 For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs.
nʼihi na mgbe na-adịghị anya, ha ga-akpọnwụ dịka ahịhịa, dịka ahịhịa ndụ, ha ga-anwụkwa.
3 Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and you shall be fed with the wealth of it.
Tụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi meekwa ihe ziri ezi; biri nʼala na nchebe, rijuokwa afọ.
4 Delight [yourself] in the Lord; and he shall grant you the requests of your heart.
Ka ihe Onyenwe anyị tọọ gị ụtọ. Ọ ga-enyekwa gị ihe niile bụ ọchịchọ nke obi gị.
5 Disclose your way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
Nyefee onwe gị nʼaka Onyenwe anyị; tụkwasị ya obi, ọ ga-emere gị nke a:
6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noon-day.
Ọ ga-eme ka ezi omume gị pụta ìhè dịka ihe nke chị ọbụbọ, meekwa ka izi ezi nke ikpe gị dịka ihe nke anyanwụ nʼehihie.
7 Submit yourself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not yourself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.
Dere duu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, were ndidi chere ya; echegbula onwe gị mgbe ndị ọzọ na-enwe ọganihu, mgbe ha na-emezu atụmatụ ọjọọ ha niile.
8 ease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself so as to do evil.
Kwụsị iwe iwe, kwụsịkwa oke iwe; echegbula onwe gị, ọ na-eduba naanị nʼihe ọjọọ.
9 For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
Nʼihi na a ga-ala ndị ajọ omume nʼiyi, ma ndị niile olileanya ha dị na Onyenwe anyị ga-eketa ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa ha.
10 And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and you shall seek for his place, and shall not find [it].
Ọ fọdụrụ nwa oge nta, ndị ajọ omume ga-agabiga; ọ bụ ezie na ị ga-achọ ha, ma ị gaghị achọta ha.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight [themselves] in the abundance of peace.
Ma ndị niile dị nwayọọ nʼobi ga-eketa ala a dịka ihe nketa ha, ha ga-enwekwa udo dị ukwuu.
12 The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.
Ndị ajọ omume na-agba izu ọjọọ megide ndị ezi omume, na-ata ikekere eze megide ha;
13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come.
ma onyenwe anyị na-achị ndị ajọ omume ọchị, nʼihi na ọ maara na ụbọchị ha na-abịa.
14 Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, [and] to kill the upright in heart.
Ndị ajọ omume amịpụtala mma agha ha, kwee ụta ha ime ka ndị nọ na mkpa na ndị ogbenye daa, igbu ndị ụzọ ha ziri ezi.
15 Let their sword enter into their [own] heart, and their bows be broken.
Ma ha ga-ewere mma agha ha gbuo onwe ha, kụrisiekwa ụta ha.
16 A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners.
Ihe ntakịrị nke onye ezi omume nwere dị mma karịa akụnụba ọtụtụ ndị ajọ omume;
17 For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous.
nʼihi na a ga-etiji ike niile nke ndị ajọ omume, ma Onyenwe anyị ga-akwagide ndị ezi omume.
18 The Lord knows the ways of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta na-ebi ndụ ha nʼokpuru nlekọta Onyenwe anyị, ihe nketa ha ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
19 They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Nʼoge ihe ndakwasị, ha agaghị akpọnwụ; ha ga-erijukwa afọ nʼụbọchị ụnwụ.
20 For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honored and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke.
Ma ndị ajọ omume ga-ala nʼiyi. Nʼagbanyeghị na ndị iro Onyenwe anyị dịka ịma mma nke ubi ahịhịa ndụ, ha ga-agabigakwa ngwangwa nʼanya dịka anwụrụ ọkụ.
21 The sinner borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives.
Ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ na-ebiri mmadụ ihe ma ha adịghị akwụghachi ya, ma onye ezi omume na-eme amara na-enye ndị ọzọ ihe o nwere.
22 For they that bless him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed.
Ndị Onyenwe anyị gọziri agọzi ga-eketa akụ nke ụwa, ma ndị ọ bụrụ ọnụ ka a ga-egbuchapụ.
23 The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way.
Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị nwere mmasị na ndụ mmadụ, ọ ga-eme ka nzọ ụkwụ ya guzosie ike;
24 When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand.
ọ bụrụ na ọ kpọbie ụkwụ, ọ gaghị ada, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-eji aka ya ejigide ya.
25 I was [once] young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
Abụ m nwantakịrị na mbụ, ugbu a, abụ m agadi, ma ahụbeghị m ebe e chefuru ndị ezi omume, maọbụ ebe ụmụ ha na-arịọ nri.
26 He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed.
Mgbe niile, ha na-eme amara jiri obi ha na-agbazinye ndị mmadụ ihe, ụmụ ha ga-abụ ngọzị.
27 Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever.
Site nʼihe ọjọọ pụọ, mee ezi ihe, mgbe ahụ, i ga-ebi nʼala a ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
28 For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
Onyenwe anyị na-ahụ onye ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi nʼanya. Ọ gaghị ahapụkwa ndị ya kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. A ga-echebe ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ma ụmụ ndị ajọ omume ka a ga-egbuchapụ;
29 But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever.
ndị ezi omume ga-eketa ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa ha, ha ga-ebikwa nʼime ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
30 The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment.
Okwu amamihe na-esi nʼọnụ onye ezi omume pụta, ire ya na-ekwukwa ihe ziri ezi.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide.
Iwu Chineke ya dị ya nʼobi; nzọ ukwu ha adịghị agbụchapụ.
32 The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.
Ndị ajọ omume na-echere ndị ezi omume na nzuzo, na-achọ ịnapụ ha ndụ ha;
33 But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.
ma Onyenwe anyị agaghị ahapụ ha nʼaka ha, ọ gaghị ekwe ka a maa ha ikpe mgbe a na-ekpe ha ikpe.
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are destroyed, you shall see [it].
Chere Onyenwe anyị, debekwa ụzọ ya. Ọ ga-ebuli gị elu ka i nweta ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa; mgbe a na-egbuchapụ ndị ajọ omume, ị ga-eji anya gị hụ ya.
35 I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Libanus.
Ahụla m onye ajọ omume na nwoke na-eme ihe ike, ka ọ na-eto, na-awasa, dịka osisi dị ndụ nʼezi ala,
36 Yet I passed by, and behold! he was not: and I sought him, but his place was not found.
ma ọ dịghị anya, ọ nwụrụ, nʼagbanyeghị na m chọgharịrị ya, ọ dịghị ebe ọbụla a hụrụ ya.
37 Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness: for there is a remnant to the peaceful man.
Ma tụgharịa uche banyere ndị ezi omume, rịbaa ndị ụzọ ha ziri ezi ama; ọganihu dịịrị onye udo.
38 But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together: the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
Ma a ga-ala ndị mmehie niile nʼiyi; ọ dịghị olileanya dịịrị ndị ajọ omume.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and he is their defender in the time of affliction.
Nzọpụta nke ndị ezi omume si nʼaka Onyenwe anyị bịa; ọ bụ ebe ha e wusiri ike nʼoge nsogbu.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: and he shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
Onyenwe anyị na-enyere ha aka, na-anapụtakwa ha ma na-azọpụtakwa ha site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume, nʼihi na ha mere ya ebe mgbaba ha.
