Psalms 10
1 Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
Èéha ti ṣe, Olúwa, tí ìwọ fi dúró ní òkè réré? Èéha ti ṣe, tí ìwọ fi ara rẹ pamọ́ ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú?
2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
Nínú àrékérekè ni ènìyàn búburú tí mu aláìlera, ẹni ti ó mú nínú ìdẹ̀kùn àrékérekè rẹ̀.
3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
Nítorí ènìyàn búburú ń ṣògo ìfẹ́ inú ọkàn rẹ̀; Ó bùkún olójúkòkòrò, ó sì ń kẹ́gàn Olúwa.
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
Ènìyàn búburú kò lè rí nínú ìgbéraga rẹ̀; kò sí ààyè fún Ọlọ́run nínú gbogbo èrò rẹ̀.
5 He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
Ọ̀nà rẹ̀ ń gún régé nígbà gbogbo; òun ń gbéraga, òfin rẹ̀ sì jìnnà sí i; òun kẹ́gàn àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
O wí fún ara rẹ̀, “Kò sí ohun tí ó lè mì mí. Inú mi yóò máa dùn nígbà gbogbo, èmi kò sì ní ní wàhálà.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
Ẹnu rẹ̀ kún fún ègún àti irọ́ àti ìtànjẹ; wàhálà àti ohun búburú wà lábẹ́ ahọ́n rẹ̀.
8 He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
Ó lúgọ ní bùba nítòsí ìletò. Ò gọ níbi ìkọ̀kọ̀ láti pa aláìṣẹ̀. Ojú rẹ̀ ń ṣọ́ àwọn tálákà ní ìkọ̀kọ̀.
9 He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
Ó ba ní ní bùba bí i kìnnìún nínú pàǹtí; Ó ba ní bùba láti mú àwọn aláìní ìrànwọ́; ó mú àwọn aláìlólùrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì wọ́ wọn lọ sínú àwọ̀n rẹ̀.
10 They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
Ó ba, ó rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀; kí tálákà ba à le bọ́ sí ọwọ́ agbára rẹ̀.
11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
Ó wí fún ara rẹ̀, “Ọlọ́run ti gbàgbé; Ó pa ojú rẹ̀ mọ́, òun kì yóò rí i láéláé.”
12 Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
Dìde, Olúwa! Gbé ọwọ́ rẹ sókè, Ọlọ́run. Má ṣe gbàgbé àwọn olùpọ́njú.
13 Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
Èéṣe tí ènìyàn búburú ṣe ń kẹ́gàn Ọlọ́run? Èéṣe tí o fi wí nínú ọkàn ara rẹ̀, “Kò ní pè mí láti ṣe ìṣirò”?
14 But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Ọlọ́run, ni ó rí wàhálà àti ìrora; Ìwọ rò láti fi sí ọwọ́ rẹ. Tálákà fi ara rẹ̀ jì fún ọ; Ìwọ ni olùrànlọ́wọ́ àwọn aláìní baba.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
Ṣẹ́ apá àwọn ènìyàn búburú àti ènìyàn ibi; pè é láti wá ṣírò fún ìwà ìkà rẹ̀ tí a kò le è rí.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
Olúwa ń jẹ ọba láé àti láéláé; àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò ṣègbé lórí ilé rẹ.
17 You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
Ìwọ́ gbọ́, Olúwa, ìfẹ́ àwọn tí a ni lára; Ìwọ gbà wọ́n níyànjú, ó sì gbọ́ igbe wọn,
18 to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
láti ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn aláìní baba àti àwọn ti a ni lára, kí ọkùnrin, tí ó wà ní ayé, kí ó má ṣe dẹ́rùbà ni mọ́.
