Psalms 10
1 Why, Jehovah, standest thou afar off? [Why] hidest thou thyself in times of distress?
Èéha ti ṣe, Olúwa, tí ìwọ fi dúró ní òkè réré? Èéha ti ṣe, tí ìwọ fi ara rẹ pamọ́ ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú?
2 The wicked, in his pride, doth hotly pursue the afflicted. They shall be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
Nínú àrékérekè ni ènìyàn búburú tí mu aláìlera, ẹni ti ó mú nínú ìdẹ̀kùn àrékérekè rẹ̀.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his soul's desire, and he blesseth the covetous; he contemneth Jehovah.
Nítorí ènìyàn búburú ń ṣògo ìfẹ́ inú ọkàn rẹ̀; Ó bùkún olójúkòkòrò, ó sì ń kẹ́gàn Olúwa.
4 The wicked [saith], in the haughtiness of his countenance, He doth not search out: all his thoughts are, There is no God!
Ènìyàn búburú kò lè rí nínú ìgbéraga rẹ̀; kò sí ààyè fún Ọlọ́run nínú gbogbo èrò rẹ̀.
5 His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; [as for] all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
Ọ̀nà rẹ̀ ń gún régé nígbà gbogbo; òun ń gbéraga, òfin rẹ̀ sì jìnnà sí i; òun kẹ́gàn àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
6 He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation I shall be in no adversity.
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, and deceit, and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Ẹnu rẹ̀ kún fún ègún àti irọ́ àti ìtànjẹ; wàhálà àti ohun búburú wà lábẹ́ ahọ́n rẹ̀.
8 He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in the secret places doth he slay the innocent: his eyes watch for the wretched.
Ó lúgọ ní bùba nítòsí ìletò. Ò gọ níbi ìkọ̀kọ̀ láti pa aláìṣẹ̀. Ojú rẹ̀ ń ṣọ́ àwọn tálákà ní ìkọ̀kọ̀.
9 He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into 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 He croucheth, he boweth down, that the wretched may fall by his strong ones.
Ó ba, ó rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀; kí tálákà ba à le bọ́ sí ọwọ́ agbára rẹ̀.
11 He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see [it].
Ó wí fún ara rẹ̀, “Ọlọ́run ti gbàgbé; Ó pa ojú rẹ̀ mọ́, òun kì yóò rí i láéláé.”
12 Arise, Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.
Dìde, Olúwa! Gbé ọwọ́ rẹ sókè, Ọlọ́run. Má ṣe gbàgbé àwọn olùpọ́njú.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
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 Thou hast seen [it], for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been 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 thou the arm of the wicked, and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none.
Ṣẹ́ apá àwọn ènìyàn búburú àti ènìyàn ibi; pè é láti wá ṣírò fún ìwà ìkà rẹ̀ tí a kò le è rí.
16 Jehovah is King for ever and ever: the nations have perished out of his land.
Olúwa ń jẹ ọba láé àti láéláé; àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò ṣègbé lórí ilé rẹ.
17 Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear,
Ìwọ́ gbọ́, Olúwa, ìfẹ́ àwọn tí a ni lára; Ìwọ gbà wọ́n níyànjú, ó sì gbọ́ igbe wọn,
18 To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify 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.
