< Psalms 109 >

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. God of my praise, let my prayer be answered;
Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Ọlọ́run, ti èmi ń fi ìyìn fún, má ṣe dákẹ́,
2 For the mouth of the sinner is open against me in deceit: his tongue has said false things against me.
nítorí àwọn ènìyàn búburú àti ẹlẹ́tàn ti ya ẹnu wọn sí mi wọ́n ti fi ahọ́n èké sọ̀rọ̀ sí mi.
3 Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.
Wọ́n fi ọ̀rọ̀ ìríra yí mi káàkiri; wọ́n bá mi jà láìnídìí
4 For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.
Nípò ìfẹ́ mi, wọn ń ṣe ọ̀tá mi, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ń gba àdúrà.
5 They have put on me evil for good; hate in exchange for my love.
Wọ́n sì fi ibi san ìre fún mi àti ìríra fún ìfẹ́ mi.
6 Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.
Yan àwọn ènìyàn búburú láti dojúkọ jẹ́ kí àwọn olùfisùn dúró ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀.
7 When he is judged, let the decision go against him; and may his prayer become sin.
Kí a dá a lẹ́bi nígbà tí a bá ṣe ìdájọ́ kí àdúrà rẹ̀ kí ó lè di ìkọ̀sílẹ̀.
8 Let his life be short; let another take his position of authority.
Kí ọjọ́ rẹ̀ kí ó kúrú; kí ẹlòmíràn kí ó rọ́pò iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
9 Let his children have no father, and his wife be made a widow.
Kí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ di aláìní baba kí aya rẹ̀ sì di opó.
10 Let his children be wanderers, looking to others for their food; let them be sent away from the company of their friends.
Jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ máa ṣagbe kiri kí wọn máa tọrọ oúnjẹ jìnnà sí ibi ahoro wọn.
11 Let his creditor take all his goods; and let others have the profit of his work.
Jẹ́ kí alọ́nilọ́wọ́gbà kí ó mú ohun gbogbo tí ó ní jẹ́ kí àlejò kí o kó èrè iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ.
12 Let no man have pity on him, or give help to his children when he is dead.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnìkan ṣe àánú fún un tàbí kí wọn káàánú lórí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ aláìní baba.
13 Let his seed be cut off; in the coming generation let their name go out of memory.
Kí a gé àrọ́mọdọ́mọ rẹ̀ kúrò kí orúkọ wọn kí ó parẹ́ ní ìran tí ń bọ̀.
14 Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness.
Kí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba rẹ̀ kí ó wà ní ìrántí ní ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa. Má ṣe jẹ́ kí a yọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìyá wọn kúrò.
15 Let them be ever before the eyes of the Lord, so that the memory of them may be cut off from the earth.
Jẹ́ kí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn kí ó wà ní ìrántí níwájú Olúwa kí ó lè gé ìrántí wọn kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
16 Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.
Nítorí kò rántí láti ṣàánú, ṣùgbọ́n ó ṣe inúnibíni sí ọkùnrin tálákà àti olùpọ́njú, kí ó lè pa oníròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn.
17 As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.
Ó fẹ́ràn láti máa mú ègún wá sí orí rẹ̀: bi inú rẹ̀ kò ti dùn si ìre, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ó jìnnà sí.
18 He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
Bí ó ti fi ègún wọ ará rẹ̀ láṣọ bí ẹ̀wù bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ó wá sí inú rẹ̀ bí omi.
19 Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.
Jẹ́ kí ó rí fún un bí aṣọ tí a dà bò ó ní ara, àti fún àmùrè tí ó fi gba ọ̀já nígbà gbogbo.
20 Let this be the reward given to my haters from the Lord, and to those who say evil of my soul.
Èyí ni èrè àwọn ọ̀tá mi láti ọwọ́ Olúwa wá; àti ti àwọn tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ ibi sí ọkàn mi.
21 But, O Lord God, give me your help, because of your name; take me out of danger, because your mercy is good.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, ìwọ ṣe fún mi Olúwa Olódùmarè, ṣe rere fún mi nítorí orúkọ rẹ. Nítorí tí àánú rẹ dára, ìwọ gbà mí.
22 For I am poor and in need, and my heart is wounded in me.
Nítorí pé tálákà àti aláìní ni mí, àyà mi sì gbọgbẹ́ nínú mi.
23 I am gone like the shade when it is stretched out: I am forced out of my place like a locust.
Èmi ń kọjá lọ bí òjìji tí àṣálẹ́, mo ń gbọ̀n sókè bí eṣú.
24 My knees are feeble for need of food; there is no fat on my bones.
Eékún mi di aláìlera nítorí àwẹ̀ gbígbà ẹran-ara mi sì gbẹ nítorí àìlera mi.
25 As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.
Mo dàbí ẹ̀gàn fún àwọn olùfisùn mi; nígbà tí wọn wò mí, wọ́n gbọn orí wọn.
26 Give me help, O Lord my God; in your mercy be my saviour;
Ràn mí lọ́wọ́, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi; gbà mí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ.
27 So that they may see that it is the work of your hand; that you, Lord, have done it.
Jẹ́ kí wọn mọ̀ pé ọwọ́ rẹ ni èyí wí pé ìwọ, Olúwa, ni ó ṣe é.
28 They may give curses but you give blessing; when they come up against me, put them to shame; but let your servant be glad.
Wọ́n ó máa gégùn ún, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ máa súre, nígbà tí wọn bá dìde kí ojú kí ó tì wọ́n, ṣùgbọ́n ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò yọ̀.
29 Let my haters be clothed with shame, covering themselves with shame as with a robe.
Jẹ́ kí a wọ àwọn ọ̀tá mi ní aṣọ ìtìjú kí á sì fi ìdàrúdàpọ̀ bọ̀ wọ́n lára bí ẹ̀wù.
30 I will give the Lord great praise with my mouth; yes, I will give praise to him among all the people.
Pẹ̀lú ẹnu mi èmi yóò máa yin Olúwa gidigidi ní àárín ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn èmi yóò máa yìn ín.
31 For he is ever at the right hand of the poor, to take him out of the hands of those who go after his soul.
Nítorí ó dúró ní apá ọ̀tún aláìní láti gbà á lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ń dá ọkàn rẹ̀ lẹ́bi.
