Psalms 74
1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Maskili ti Asafu. Ọlọ́run, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi kọ̀ wá sílẹ̀ títí láé? Èéṣe tí ìbínú rẹ̀ fi dìde sí àwọn àgùntàn pápá rẹ?
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [And] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Rántí àwọn ènìyàn tí ìwọ ti rà nígbà àtijọ́, ẹ̀yà ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ, tí ìwọ ti rà padà. Òkè Sioni, níbi tí ìwọ ń gbé.
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
Yí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ padà sí ìparun ayérayé wọn, gbogbo ìparun yìí tí ọ̀tá ti mú wá sí ibi mímọ́.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.
Àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ ń bú ramúramù láàrín ènìyàn rẹ, wọ́n ń gbé àsíá wọn sókè fún àmì.
5 They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
Wọ́n ń rí bí ọkùnrin tí ó gbé àáké rẹ̀ sókè láti gé igi igbó dídí.
6 And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, iṣẹ́ ọnà fínfín, ni wọ́n fi àáké wó lulẹ̀ ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan náà.
7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting it] to the ground.
Wọ́n sun ibi mímọ́ rẹ lulẹ̀ wọ́n ba ibùgbé orúkọ rẹ jẹ́.
8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
Wọ́n wí ní ọkàn wọn. “Àwa ó run wọ́n pátápátá!” Wọ́n sun gbogbo ibi ìjọ́sìn Ọlọ́run ní ilẹ̀ náà.
9 We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
A kò fún wa ní àmì iṣẹ́ ìyanu kankan; kò sí wòlíì kankan ẹnìkankan wa kò mọ ìgbà tí eléyìí yóò dà.
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Àwọn ọ̀tá yóò ti kùn sí ọ pẹ́ tó, Ọlọ́run? Àwọn ọ̀tá yóò ha ba orúkọ rẹ jẹ́ títí láé?
11 Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].
Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi dá ọwọ́ rẹ dúró, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ? Mú un kúrò nínú ìṣẹ́po aṣọ rẹ kí o sì run wọ́n!
12 Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ Ọlọ́run ni ọba mi láti ìgbà pípẹ́; Ó mú ìgbàlà wá sórí ilẹ̀ ayé.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
Ìwọ ni ó la òkun sílẹ̀ nípa agbára rẹ; ìwọ fọ́ orí ẹ̀mí búburú nínú omi.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Ìwọ fọ́ orí Lefitani túútúú, o sì fi ṣe oúnjẹ fun àwọn ẹ̀dá tí ń gbé inú ijù tìrẹ ni ọ̀sán, tìrẹ sì ni alẹ́ pẹ̀lú; ìwọ fi ìdí oòrùn àti òṣùpá lélẹ̀.
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.
Ìwọ ya orísun omi àti ìṣàn omi; Ìwọ mú kí odò tó ń sàn gbẹ.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Tìrẹ ni ọ̀sán, tìrẹ ni òru pẹ̀lú; ìwọ yà oòrùn àti òṣùpá.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.
Ìwọ pààlà etí ayé; Ìwọ dá ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn àti ìgbà òtútù.
18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
Rántí bí àwọn ọ̀tá ń kẹ́gàn rẹ, Olúwa bí àwọn aṣiwèrè ènìyàn ti ń ba orúkọ rẹ jẹ́.
19 Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
Má ṣe fi ẹ̀mí àdàbà rẹ fún ẹranko igbó búburú; má ṣe gbàgbé ẹ̀mí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ tí a ń pọ́n lójú títí láé.
20 Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
Bojú wo májẹ̀mú rẹ, nítorí ibi òkùnkùn ayé kún fún ibùgbé ìkà.
21 Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí àwọn aninilára padà sẹ́yìn nínú ìtìjú jẹ́ kí àwọn aláìní àti tálákà yin orúkọ rẹ.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
Dìde, Ọlọ́run, gba ẹjọ́ ara rẹ rò; rántí bí àwọn aṣiwèrè ti ń kẹ́gàn rẹ ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
Má ṣe gbàgbé ohùn àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, bíbú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, tí ó ń pọ̀ sí i nígbà gbogbo.
