Psalms 116
1 I love the Lord because he listens to me, he hears my calls for help.
Èmi fẹ́ràn Olúwa, nítorí ó gbọ́ ohùn mi; ó gbọ́ ẹkún mi fún àánú.
2 Because he pays attention to what I say I will pray to him as long as I live.
Nítorí ó yí etí rẹ̀ padà sí mi, èmi yóò máa pè é ni wọ́n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè.
3 I was caught in the snares of death; I was trapped by terrors of the grave. All I experienced was suffering and grief. (Sheol h7585)
Okùn ikú yí mi ká, ìrora isà òkú wá sórí mi; ìyọnu àti ìbànújẹ́ borí mi. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I cried out to the Lord, “Lord, please save me!”
Nígbà náà ni mo ké pe orúkọ Olúwa: “Olúwa, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, gba ọkàn mi!”
5 The Lord is so kind and good! Our God is so compassionate!
Olúwa ní oore-ọ̀fẹ́, ó sì ní òdodo; Ọlọ́run wa kún fún àánú.
6 The Lord takes care of those who are powerless; when I was brought down he saved me.
Olúwa pa àwọn ọlọ́kàn fífúyẹ́ mọ́ nígbà tí mo wà nínú àìní ńlá, ó gbà mí.
7 I can once again be at peace because the Lord has been good to me.
Padà, ìwọ ọkàn mi, sí ibi ìsinmi rẹ, nítorí Olúwa ṣe dáradára sí ọ.
8 For you have saved me from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.
Nítorí ìwọ, Olúwa, ti gba ọkàn mi kúrò lọ́wọ́ ikú, ojú mi kúrò lọ́wọ́ omijé, àti ẹsẹ̀ mi kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìṣubú,
9 Now I can walk with the Lord in the land of the living.
nítorí èmi yóò máa rìn níwájú Olúwa ní ilẹ̀ alààyè.
10 I trusted in you, so I told you, “I'm suffering terribly!”
Èmi gbàgbọ́; nítorí náà mo wí pé, “èmi rí ìpọ́njú púpọ̀”.
11 I was so upset that I said, “Everyone's a liar!”
Àti nínú ìdààmú mi mo wí pé, “Èké ni gbogbo ènìyàn”.
12 What can I give the Lord in return for all he's done for me?
Kí ni èmi yóò san fún Olúwa nítorí gbogbo rere rẹ̀ sí mi?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and worship the Lord.
Èmi yóò gbé ago ìgbàlà sókè èmi yóò sì máa ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
14 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see.
Èmi yóò mú ìlérí mi ṣẹ sí Olúwa ní ojú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
15 It hurts the Lord when those who trust in him die.
Iyebíye ní ojú Olúwa àti ikú àwọn ẹni mímọ́ rẹ̀.
16 Lord, I really am your slave, serving you as my mother served you before me, yet you have set me free.
Olúwa, nítòótọ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni mo jẹ́; èmi ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, ọmọ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ; ó ti tú mi sílẹ̀ nínú ìdè mi.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to you and I will worship you.
Èmi yóò rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ sí ọ èmi yóò sì ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
18 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see,
Èmi yóò mú ìlérí mi sẹ sí Olúwa ní ojú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀,
19 there in the house of the Lord, right in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
nínú àgbàlá ilé Olúwa ní àárín rẹ̀, ìwọ Jerusalẹmu. Ẹ yin Olúwa.
