How to do interlinear text like below?
Especially, number over the word is centered in relation to this word. I tried with hbox and centering command but not works.
\def\wrd#1#2{$\vcenter{\hbox{\valign{&\hbox{\centering##}&\hbox{\strut##}\cr#1\cr}}}$}
You need \vbox and \halign, not \valign:
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand\wrd[2]{%
\leavevmode
\vbox{\offinterlineskip
\halign{%
\hfil##\hfil\cr
{\footnotesize\sffamily\vphantom{p}#1}\cr
\noalign{\vskip\lineskip}%
\vphantom{A}#2\cr
}%
}%
}
\begin{document}
\linespread{1.8}\selectfont
\wrd{9176}{Longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\end{document}
\hfil##\hfil? Is it causing the centering or is it the \halign?

# stands for the cell's content, which is so centered in the available width. We have to use ## because it's inside a definition.

\hfil? So is \hfil##\hfil only being applied to the numbers?

The expex package is designed for creating interlinear linguistics examples, and it is easily adapted for texts of this type.
In order to center the number above the word (or group of words), use the expex option glwordalign=center.
% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Palatino Linotype}
\setsansfont{Arial}
\newfontfamily\versefont{Tahoma}
\usepackage{expex}
\lingset{everygla=\footnotesize\sffamily, % formatting the numbers in the gla line
glwordalign=center, % center alignment within glwords
aboveglbskip=-0.4ex, % narrows the vertical gap between the gla and glb lines
glhangstyle=none, % no hanging indent
glspace=!0pt plus .2em, % widens the allowable space between glwords to avoid overfull lines
glrightskip=0pt plus .5\hsize} % widens the allowable space between the right margin and the end of the last glword on a line to avoid overfull lines
\newcommand{\vs}[1]{{\bfseries\versefont #1}}
\begin{document}
\exdisplay
\begingl
\gla 976 {} 1078 2424 5547 5207 1138 5207 11 {} 11 1080 o2464 1161 2464 1080 o2384 1161 2384 1080 o2455 2532 o80 846 {} 1161 2455 1080 o5329 2532 o2196 1537 o2283 1161 5329 1080 o2074 1161 2074 1080 o689 {} 1161//

\endgl
\xe
\end{document}
My example above needs to be compiled with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, but this is just because of the way I selected fonts using fontspec and used Unicode input for the Polish. If you choose fonts and enter the Polish differently you can use pdfLaTeX.
See Alan Munn's answer to Doing an interlinear text if you are interested in importing the numbers from an external concordance file.
I wasn't able to get the lettrine package (for the drop-cap chapter number) to play nicely with expex line breaking; you could ask about this in a separate question if it is important to you.
lettrine issue is here: tex.stackexchange.com/a/247339/42880.

A layman's aapproach with tabular
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand\wrd[2]{%
\renewcommand\arraystretch{0.4}
\begin{tabular}[t]{@{}c@{}}
\footnotesize\textsf{#1}\\%
#2
\end{tabular}
}
\begin{document}
\linespread{1.8}\selectfont
\wrd{9176}{Longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\wrd{9176}{longword} \wrd{12345}{a} \wrd{o12}{end}
\end{document}

Alternatively using the stackengine package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\newcommand\wrd[2]{%
\stackengine{0.2ex}{\vphantom{A}#1}{{\footnotesize\sffamily\vphantom{p}#2}}{O}{c}{F}{T}{S}%
}
\begin{document}
\wrd{hello}{12} world
\end{document}
See the stackengine manual, pg 6, for more information. Here is a snapshot of the interpretation of the above.
\useanchorwidth to F, or else \wrd{a}{1161} will bump into adjacent text.

\vphantoms if you chose a Long stacktype and set the gap accordingly.

Using stacks. Oops. I see azetina beat me to it. My MWE is a bit more elaborative, but give him the vote.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\usepackage{palatino,setspace}
\newcommand\wrd[2]{\def\stacktype{L}\stackon[10pt]{#1}{\scriptsize\sffamily#2}}
\newcommand\verseno[1]{\bgroup\bfseries\sffamily#1\egroup}
\begin{document}
\doublespacing
\verseno{1} \wrd{\underline{Zwoj ksiegi}}{976} (o) \wrd{narodzinach}{1078} \wrd{Jesuza}{2424}
\wrd{Chrystusa}{5547}, \wrd{syna}{5207} \wrd{Dawida}{1138}, \wrd{syna}{5207}
\wrd{Abrahama}{11}. \verseno{2} \wrd{Abraham}{11} \wrd{zrodzil}{1080}
\wrd{Izaaka}{o2462}, \wrd{a}{1161} \wrd{Izaak}{2464} \wrd{zrodzil}{1080}
\end{document}
One simple approach could be use an inline math environment using \overset, but may be you can be also interested in the source of the dvgloss package. The format is not the required in this case (upper line is not centered with sans serif} but because he simpler sintaxis of \gl macro and some other feature worth take a look to source code of the package . Example:
\documentclass[a5paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{dvgloss}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\def\verseno#1{{\bfseries\sffamily#1}}
\def\wrd#1#2{\ensuremath{\overset{\mathsf{#2}}{\textrm{\vphantom{I}#1}}}}
\begin{document}
Using \verb|\overset| from \verb|amsmath|:\\[1em]
\lettrine[lines=2,lraise=.4,findent=1em]{\verseno{1}}{}
\wrd{\underline{Zwoj ksiegi}}{976} (o) \wrd{narodzinach}{1078} \wrd{Jesuza}{2424} \wrd{Chrystusa}{5547}, \wrd{syna}{5207} \wrd{Dawida}{1138}, \wrd{syna}{5207} \wrd{Abrahama}{11}.
\verseno{\Large 2} \wrd{Abraham}{11} \wrd{zrodzil}{1080} \wrd{Izaaka}{o2462}, \wrd{a}{1161} \wrd{Izaak}{2464} \wrd{zrodzil}{1080}
\bigskip
With \verb|dvgloss|:\\[1em]
\lettrine[lines=2,lraise=0,findent=1em]{\verseno{1}}{}
\gl{976 {~} 1078 * 2424 5547 * 5207 1138 5207 11 22 33 44}{{\underline{Zwoj ksiegi}} (o) narodzinach Jesuza Chrystusa, syna Dawida, syna Abrahama.}%
%
\verseno{\raisebox{-1.5ex}{\large 2}} \gl{11 1080 o2462 1161 2464 1080}{Abraham zrodzil Izaaka, a Izaak zrodzil}
\end{document}
