< 2 Samuel 22 >
1 David sang the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord saved him from all his enemies, and from Saul.
Dafidi sì kọ ọ̀rọ̀ orin yìí sí Olúwa ní ọjọ́ tí Olúwa gbà á kúrò lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, àti kúrò lọ́wọ́ Saulu.
2 He sang: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my Savior.
Ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa ni àpáta mi, àti Olùgbàlà mi;
3 He is my God, my rock who protects me. He shields me from harm, his power saves me, he keeps me safe. He is my protector; he is my savior; he saves me from violence.
Ọlọ́run mi, àpáta mi, nínú ẹni tí èmi ní ààbò, àti ìwo ìgbàlà mi, ibi ìsádi gíga mi. Àti ibi ìlùmọ̀ mi, Olùgbàlà mi; ìwọ ni ó ti gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìwà ipá.
4 I call for help from the Lord, who should be praised, and he saves me from those who hate me.
“Èmi ké pe Olúwa, tí ó yẹ láti máa yìn, ó sì gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi.
5 The waves of death swept over me; surging waters of destruction flooded over me;
Nígbà tí ìbìlù ìrora ikú yí mi káàkiri; tí àwọn ìṣàn ènìyàn búburú dẹ́rùbà mí.
6 The grave wound its ropes around me; death set snares for me. (Sheol )
Ọ̀já isà òkú yí mi káàkiri; ìkẹ́kùn ikú dojúkọ mí. (Sheol )
7 In my despair I called on the Lord; I called out to my God. He heard my voice from his Temple; my cry for help reached his ears.
“Nínú ìpọ́njú mi, èmi ké pé Olúwa, èmi sì gbé ohùn mi sókè sí Ọlọ́run mi. Ó sí gbóhùn mi láti tẹmpili rẹ̀ igbe mí wọ etí rẹ̀.
8 The earth shook to and fro; the foundations of the heavens trembled, shaking because of his anger.
Ilẹ̀ sì mì, ó sì wárìrì; ìpìlẹ̀ ọ̀run wárìrì, ó sì mì, nítorí tí ó bínú.
9 Smoke came out of his nostrils, and fire from his mouth, burning coals that blazed before him.
Èéfín ti ihò imú rẹ̀ jáde wá, iná ajónirun ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde wá, ẹ̀yin iná bú jáde láti inú rẹ̀.
10 He pushed aside the heavens and came down, with dark clouds beneath his feet.
Ó tẹ orí ọ̀run ba pẹ̀lú, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀; òkùnkùn biribiri sì ń bẹ ní àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
11 Riding on a heavenly being he flew, swooping on the wings of the wind.
Ó sì gun orí kérúbù, ó sì fò, a sì rí i lórí ìyẹ́ afẹ́fẹ́.
12 He hid himself in darkness, covering himself with black rainclouds.
Ó sì fi òkùnkùn ṣe ibùjókòó yí ara rẹ̀, àti àgbájọ omi, àní ìṣúdudu ìkùùkuu àwọ̀ sánmọ̀.
13 Burning coals blazed out of his brightness.
Nípasẹ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀ iwájú rẹ̀ ẹ̀yín iná ràn.
14 The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
Olúwa sán àrá láti ọ̀run wá, Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ sì fọhùn rẹ̀.
15 He fired his arrows, scattering his enemies, he routed them with his lightning bolts.
Ó sì ta ọfà, ó sì tú wọn ká; ó kọ mànàmànà, ó sì ṣẹ́ wọn.
16 The Lord roared, and by the wind from the breath of his nostrils the valleys of the sea could be seen and the foundations of the earth were uncovered.
Ìṣàn ibú òkun sì fi ara hàn, ìpìlẹ̀ ayé fi ara hàn, nípa ìbáwí Olúwa, nípa fífún èémí ihò imú rẹ̀.
17 He reached down his hand from above and grabbed hold of me. He dragged me out of the deep water.
“Ó ránṣẹ́ láti òkè wá, ó mú mi; ó fà mí jáde láti inú omi ńlá wá.
18 He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and who were much stronger than me.
Ó gbà mí lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá mi alágbára, lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi, nítorí pé wọ́n lágbára jù mí lọ.
19 They came at me at my worst possible moment, but the Lord supported me.
Wọ́n wá láti borí mi lọ́jọ́ ìpọ́njú mi, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ni aláfẹ̀yìntì mi.
20 He set me free, he rescued me because he's happy with me.
Ó sì mú mi wá sí ààyè ńlá, ó gbà mi, nítorí tí inú rẹ̀ dún sí mi.
21 The Lord rewarded me because I do what's right; he repaid me because I am innocent.
“Olúwa sán án fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi; ó sì san án fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí mímọ́ ọwọ́ mi.
22 For I have followed the Lord's ways; I have not sinned by turning away from my God.
Nítorí pé èmi pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ́, èmi kò sì fi ìwà búburú yapa kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run mi.
23 I have kept all his laws in mind; I have not ignored his commandments.
Nítorí pé gbogbo ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ ni ó wà níwájú mi; àti ní ti òfin rẹ̀, èmi kò sì yapa kúrò nínú wọn.
24 I am blameless in his sight; I keep myself from sinning.
Èmi sì wà nínú ìwà títọ́ sí í, èmi sì pa ara mi mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
25 The Lord rewarded me for doing what's right. I am innocent in his sight.
Olúwa sì san fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà mímọ́ mi níwájú rẹ̀.
26 You show trust to those who are trusting; you show integrity to those with integrity,
“Fún aláàánú ni ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ni aláàánú, àti fún ẹni ìdúró ṣinṣin ní òdodo ni ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ hàn ní ìdúró ṣinṣin ní òdodo.
27 You show yourself pure to those who are pure, but you show yourself astute to those who are crafty.
Fún onínú funfun ni ìwọ fi ara rẹ hàn ní funfun; àti fún ẹni wíwọ́ ni ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ hàn ní wíwọ́.
28 You save the humble, but your eyes watch the proud to bring them down.
Àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà nínú ìyà ni ìwọ ó sì gbàlà; ṣùgbọ́n ojú rẹ wà lára àwọn agbéraga, láti rẹ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀.
29 You, Lord, are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness.
Nítorí ìwọ ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ mi, Olúwa; Olúwa yóò sì sọ òkùnkùn mi di ìmọ́lẹ̀.
30 With you, I can charge down a troop of soldiers; with you, my God, I can climb a fortress wall.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nítorí nípa rẹ̀ ni èmi ti la àárín ogun kọjá; nípa Ọlọ́run mi èmi ti fo odi kan.
31 God's way is absolutely right. What the Lord says is trustworthy. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.
“Ọlọ́run yìí, pípé ni ọ̀nà rẹ̀; ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ni a ti dánwò. Òun sì ni asà fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e.
32 For who is God except the Lord? Who is a Rock, except our God?
Nítorí ta ni Ọlọ́run, bí kò ṣe Olúwa? Ta ni àpáta, bí kò ṣe Ọlọ́run wa.
33 God makes me strong and keeps me safe.
Ọlọ́run alágbára ni ó fún mi ní agbára, ó sì sọ ọ̀nà mi di títọ́.
34 He makes me surefooted like the deer, able to walk the heights in safety.
Ó ṣe ẹsẹ̀ mi bí ẹsẹ̀ abo àgbọ̀nrín; ó sì mú mi dúró ní ibi gíga mi.
35 He teaches me how to fight in battle; he gives me the strength to draw a bronze bow.
Ó kọ́ ọwọ́ mi ní ogun jíjà; tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí apá mi fa ọrun idẹ.
36 You protect me with the shield of your salvation; your help has made me great.
Ìwọ sì ti fún mi ní asà ìgbàlà rẹ̀; ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ rẹ̀ sì ti sọ mí di ńlá.
37 You gave me room to walk, and prevented my feet from slipping.
Ìwọ sì sọ ìtẹ̀lẹ̀ di ńlá ní abẹ́ mi; tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ẹsẹ̀ mi kò fi yọ̀.
38 I chased my enemies, and caught up with them. I did not turn around until I had destroyed them.
“Èmi ti lépa àwọn ọ̀tá mi, èmi sì ti run wọ́n, èmi kò pẹ̀yìndà títí èmi fi run wọ́n.
39 I struck them down—they couldn't get up. They fell at my feet.
Èmi ti pa wọ́n run, èmi sì ti fọ́ wọn, wọn kò sì le dìde mọ́, wọ́n ṣubú lábẹ́ mi.
40 You made me strong for the battle; you made those who rose up against me kneel low before me.
Ìwọ sì ti fi agbára dì mí ní àmùrè fún ìjà; àwọn tí ó ti dìde sí mi ni ìwọ sì ti tẹ̀ lórí ba fún mi.
41 You made my enemies run away; I destroyed all my enemies.
Ìwọ sì mú àwọn ọ̀tá mi pẹ̀yìndà fún mi, èmi ó sì pa àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi run.
42 They cried out for help, but no one came to rescue them. They even called out to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
Wọ́n wò, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan láti gbà wọ́n; wọ́n wo Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kò dá àwọn lóhùn.
43 I ground them into dust, like the dust of the earth. I crushed them and threw them out like mud in the street.
Nígbà náà ni èmi sì gún wọn wẹ́wẹ́ bí erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, èmi sì tẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ bí ẹrẹ̀ ìta, èmi sì tẹ́ wọn gbọrọ.
44 You rescued me from rebellious people; you have kept me as ruler over nations—people I didn't know now serve me.
“Ìwọ sì gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìjà àwọn ènìyàn mi, ìwọ pa mi mọ́ ki èmi lè ṣe olórí àwọn àjèjì orílẹ̀-èdè. Àwọn ènìyàn tí èmi kò tí mọ̀ yóò máa sìn mí.
45 Foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey.
Àwọn àjèjì wá láti tẹríba fún mi; bí wọ́n bá ti gbúròó mi, wọ́n á sì gbọ́ tèmi.
46 They lose heart, and come trembling in surrender from their strongholds.
Àyà yóò pá àwọn àlejò, wọ́n ó sì fi ìbẹ̀rù sá kúrò níbi kọ́lọ́fín wọn.
47 The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! May the God who saves me be praised!
“Olúwa ń bẹ́; olùbùkún sì ni àpáta mi! Gbígbéga sì ni Ọlọ́run àpáta ìgbàlà mi.
48 God avenges me, he puts peoples under me,
Ọlọ́run ni ẹni tí ń gbẹ̀san mi, àti ẹni tí ń rẹ àwọn ènìyàn sílẹ̀ lábẹ́ mi.
49 He frees me from those who hate me. You keep me safe from those who rebel against me, you save me from violent men.
Àti ẹni tí ó gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi. Ìwọ sì gbé mi sókè ju àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi lọ; ìwọ sì gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọkùnrin oníwà ipá.
50 That's why I will praise you among the nations, Lord; I will sing praises about who you are.
Nítorí náà èmi ó fi ọpẹ́ fún ọ, Olúwa, láàrín àwọn àjèjì orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi ó sì kọrin sí orúkọ rẹ.
51 You have saved the king so often, showing your trustworthy love to David, your anointed, and to his descendants forever.”
“Òun ni ilé ìṣọ́ ìgbàlà fún ọba rẹ̀; ó sì fi àánú hàn fún ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀, fún Dafidi, àti fún irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ títí láéláé.”
