< Psalms 16 >
1 A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
Miktamu ti Dafidi. Pa mí mọ́, Ọlọ́run, nítorí nínú rẹ ni ààbò mi wà.
2 I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
Mo sọ fún Olúwa, “Ìwọ ni Olúwa mi, lẹ́yìn rẹ èmi kò ní ìre kan.”
3 As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
Sí àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní ayé, àwọn ni ológo nínú èyí tí ayọ̀ mí wà.
4 Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
Ìṣòro àwọn wọ̀n-ọn-nì yóò pọ̀ sí i, àní àwọn tí ń tọ ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn. Ẹbọ ohun mímu ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn ni èmi kì yóò ta sílẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò dá orúkọ wọn lẹ́nu mi.
5 Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
Olúwa, ni ìpín ìní mi tí mo yàn àti ago mi, ó ti pa ohun tí í ṣe tèmi mọ́.
6 The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
Okùn ààlà ilẹ̀ ti bọ́ sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi ní ibi dídára; nítòótọ́ mo ti ní ogún rere.
7 I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
Èmi yóò yin Olúwa, ẹni tí ó gbà mí ní ìyànjú; ní òru, ọkàn mí ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀.
8 I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
Mo ti gbé Olúwa síwájú mi ní ìgbà gbogbo. Nítorí tí ó wà ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi, a kì yóò mì mí.
9 That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
Nítorí èyí, ọkàn mi yọ̀, ahọ́n mi pẹ̀lú ń fò fáyọ̀; ara mi pẹ̀lú yóò sinmi ní ààbò,
10 For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol )
nítorí ìwọ kò ní fi ọ̀kan sílẹ̀ nínú isà òkú, tàbí kí ìwọ jẹ́ kí ẹni mímọ́ rẹ kí ó rí ìdíbàjẹ́. (Sheol )
11 You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
Ìwọ ti fi ipa ọ̀nà ìyè hàn mí; Ìwọ yóò kún mi pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ ní iwájú rẹ, pẹ̀lú ìdùnnú ayérayé ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ.
