Psalms 34
1 A psalm of David concerning the time he pretended to be mad in front of Abimelech who then sent him away. I will always bless the Lord; my mouth will continually praise him.
Tí Dafidi. Nígbà tí ó díbọ́n bí ẹni tí ń ṣe wèrè níwájú Abimeleki, ẹni tí ó lé e lọ, ó sì jáde lọ. Èmi yóò máa fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa nígbà gbogbo; ìyìn rẹ̀ yóò máa wà ní ẹnu mi títí láé.
2 From the bottom of my heart I am proud of the Lord; those who are humble will hear and be happy.
Ọkàn mí yóò máa ṣògo nínú Olúwa; jẹ́ kí àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ gbọ́ kí inú wọn kí ó sì máa dùn.
3 Glorify God with me; together let's honor his reputation.
Gbé Olúwa ga pẹ̀lú mi; kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí a jọ gbé orúkọ rẹ̀ lékè.
4 I asked the Lord for help, and he answered me. He set me free from all my fears.
Èmi wá Olúwa, ó sì dá mi lóhùn; Ó sì gbà mí kúrò nínú ìbẹ̀rù mi gbogbo.
5 The faces of those who look to him will shine with joy; they will never be downcast with shame.
Wọ́n wò ó, ìmọ́lẹ̀ sì mọ́ wọn; ojú kò sì tì wọ́n.
6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard me, and saved me from all my troubles.
Ọkùnrin olùpọ́njú yí kígbe, Olúwa sì gbóhùn rẹ̀; ó sì gbà á là kúrò nínú gbogbo ìpọ́njú rẹ̀.
7 The angel of the Lord stands guard over all those who honor him, keeping them safe.
Angẹli Olúwa yí àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀ ká ó sì gbà wọ́n.
8 Taste, and you will see that the Lord is good! How happy are those who trust in his protection!
Tọ́ ọ wò kí o sì rí i wí pé Olúwa dára; ẹni ayọ̀ ni ọkùnrin náà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ààbò nínú rẹ̀.
9 Show your reverence for the Lord, you who are his holy people, for those who respect him have everything they need.
Ẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn rẹ̀ mímọ́, nítorí pé kò sí àìní fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
10 Lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who trust in the Lord have all that is good.
Àwọn ọmọ kìnnìún a máa ṣe aláìní ebi a sì máa pa wọ́n; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó wá Olúwa kì yóò ṣe aláìní ohun tí ó dára.
11 Children, listen to me! I will teach you how to respect the Lord.
Wá, ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, fi etí sí mi; èmi yóò kọ́ ọ yín ní ẹ̀rù Olúwa.
12 Who of you wants to live a long and happy life?
Ta ni nínú yín tí ń fẹ́ ìyè, tí ó sì ń fẹ́ ọjọ́ púpọ̀; kí ó lè gbádùn ọjọ́ rere?
13 Then don't let your tongue speak evil, or your lips tell lies.
Pa ahọ́n rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi àti ètè rẹ̀ kúrò ní ẹ̀tàn sísọ.
14 Reject what is evil, do what is good. Look for peace, and work to make it a reality.
Yà kúrò nínú ibi kí o sì ṣe rere; wá àlàáfíà, kí o sì lépa rẹ̀.
15 The Lord watches over those who do right, and he hears when they cry for help.
Ojú Olúwa ń bẹ lára àwọn olódodo; etí i rẹ̀ sì ṣí sí ẹkún wọn.
16 The Lord sets himself against those who do evil. He will wipe out even the memory of them from the earth.
Ojú Olúwa korò sí àwọn tí ń ṣe búburú; láti ké ìrántí wọn kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
17 But when his people call out for help, he hears them and rescues them from all their troubles.
Nígbà tí olódodo bá ké fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, Olúwa a máa gbọ́, a sì yọ wọ́n jáde láti inú gbogbo wàhálà wọn.
18 The Lord is close beside those who are broken-hearted; he saves those whose spirits are crushed.
Olúwa súnmọ́ etí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn oníròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn; ó sì gba irú àwọn tí í ṣe oníròra ọkàn là.
19 Those who do right have many problems, but the Lord solves all of them.
Ìpọ́njú àwọn olódodo pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa gbà wọ́n kúrò nínú gbogbo rẹ̀.
20 He keeps them safe—not a single one of their bones will be broken.
Ó pa gbogbo egungun wọn mọ́; kò sí ọ̀kan tí ó dá nínú wọn.
21 Evil kills the wicked. Those who hate good people will suffer for their wrongdoing.
Ibi ni ó mú ikú ìkà wá, àti àwọn tí ó kórìíra olódodo ni yóò jẹ̀bi.
22 The Lord saves the lives of his servants. Those who trust in his protection will not suffer for their wrongdoings.
Olúwa ra ọkàn àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ padà; kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé tí yóò jẹ̀bi.
