Psalms 55
1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David. God, please hear my prayer; don't ignore my cry for help!
Fún adarí orin. Pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn. Maskili ti Dafidi. Fi etí sí àdúrà mi, Ọlọ́run, má ṣe fi ojú pa ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi rẹ́:
2 Please listen, and give me an answer. I'm terribly troubled by my problems! I'm frantic!
gbọ́ mi kí o sì dá mi lóhùn. Èrò mi ń dà mí láàmú, èmi sì ń pariwo.
3 For my enemies are screaming at me; the wicked are intimidating me. They rain down suffering on me, angrily assaulting me in their hatred.
Sí ohùn àwọn ọ̀tá ni, nítorí igbe àwọn ènìyàn búburú; nítorí wọ́n mú ìjìyà wá sórí mi, wọ́n sì kẹ́gàn mi nínú ìbínú wọn.
4 My heart thumps in agony! Terrified, I feel I'm about to die!
Ọkàn mi wà nínú ìrora pẹ̀lú; ẹ̀rù ikú kọjú ìjà sí mi.
5 I'm in a panic, trembling with fear; feelings of horror wash over me.
Ìbẹ̀rù àti ìwárìrì wa sí ara mi; ìbẹ̀rù ti bò mí mọ́lẹ̀.
6 I tell myself, If only God would give me wings like a dove so I could fly away and be at peace!
Èmi sọ pé, “Èmi ìbá ní ìyẹ́ bí àdàbà! Èmi ìbá fò lọ kí n sì sinmi.
7 I would fly far away to escape, and stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
Èmi ìbá sálọ, jìnnà réré, kí ń sì dúró sí aginjù;
8 I would hurry to a place to hide, out of the wind, safe from the raging storm.
èmi ìbá yára lọ́ si ibùgbé mi ní ibi ààbò, jìnnà kúrò nínú ìjì àti ẹ̀fúùfù líle.”
9 Confuse them, Lord! Muddle what they're saying, for I see violence and conflict in the city.
Da àwọn ẹni búburú láàmú, Olúwa, da ahọ́n wọn rú, nítorí èmi rí ìwà agbára àti ìjà ní ìlú náà.
10 They patrol the city walls day and night, and wickedness and trouble are within the city.
Ọ̀sán àti òru ni wọ́n fi ń rìn gbogbo odi kiri; ìwà ìkà àti èébú wà láàrín rẹ̀.
11 The ones causing destruction are inside the city; frauds and cheats are always on the streets.
Ìwà búburú ń bẹ ní àárín rẹ̀; ẹ̀tàn àti èké kò kúrò ní ìgboro rẹ̀.
12 The problem is that it's not an enemy who mocks me—I could stand that. It's not someone who hates me who insults me—I could avoid them.
Tí ọ̀tá bá tàbùkù mi, èmi yóò fi ara mọ́ ọn; tí ọ̀tá bá gbé ara rẹ̀ ga sí mi, èmi ìbá sá pamọ́ fún un.
13 No, it's you, a man just like me, my best friend who I know so well!
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá ṣe ìwọ, ọkùnrin bí ẹgbẹ́ mi, ẹlẹgbẹ́ mi, àti ọ̀rẹ́ tí ó súnmọ́ mi,
14 Our friendship was so close. We used to have great talks together as we walked with everyone to the house of God.
pẹ̀lú ẹni tí èmi ti jẹ ìgbádùn adùn ìdàpọ̀, bí a ṣe ń rìn pẹ̀lú àwùjọ ní ilé Ọlọ́run.
15 May death come quickly to them; may they go down into the grave alive, because evil finds its home in them. (Sheol h7585)
Kí ikú kí ó dé bá wọn, kí wọn ó lọ láààyè sí isà òkú, jẹ́ kí wọn ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí ibojì pẹ̀lú ìpayà, nítorí tí ìwà búburú ń bẹ ní ibùjókòó wọn, àti nínú wọn. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I cry out to God, and the Lord will save me.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi pe Ọlọ́run; Olúwa yóò sì gbà mí.
17 I weep and groan morning, noon, and night, and he listens to me.
Ní alẹ́, ní òwúrọ̀ àti ní ọ̀sán èmi sọkún jáde nínú ìpọ́njú, o sì gbọ́ ohùn mi.
18 He rescues me, keeping me safe and sound from my attackers, because there are so many against me.
Ó rà mí padà láìléwu kúrò nínú ogun tí ó dìde sí mi, nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni ó dìde sí mi.
19 God who has ruled from the beginning will hear me and answer them. (Selah) For they refuse to change and don't respect God.
Ọlọ́run yóò gbọ́, yóò sì pọ́n wọn lójú àní, ẹni tí ó ti jókòó láti ìgbàanì (Sela) nítorí tí wọn kò ní àyípadà, tí wọn kò sì bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
20 As for my best friend, he attacked his friends who had no quarrel with him; he broke the promises he had made to them.
Ọ̀rẹ́ mi yìí ti dalẹ̀ èmi ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀; ó ti ba májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ jẹ́.
21 What he says is as smooth as butter, but inside he plans war; his words are as soothing as oil, but they cut like sharp swords.
Ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu rẹ̀ kúnná ju òrí-àmọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ogun wà ni àyà rẹ̀; ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ fẹ́lẹ́ ju òróró lọ, ṣùgbọ́n idà fífàyọ ní wọn.
22 Throw your burdens onto the Lord and he will take care of you. He will never allow those who live right to fall.
Gbé ẹrù rẹ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa yóò sì mú ọ dúró; òun kò ní jẹ́ kí olódodo ṣubú.
23 But you, God, will bring down murderers and liars, throwing them into the pit of destruction before they have even lived half their lives. As for me, I will trust in you.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Ọlọ́run, ni yóò mu àwọn ọ̀tá mi wá sí ihò ìparun; àwọn ẹni tí òǹgbẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ ń gbẹ àti ẹni ẹ̀tàn, kì yóò gbé ààbọ̀ ọjọ́ wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n fún èmi, èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ.
