< Psalms 73 >

1 A Psalme committed to Asaph. Yet God is good to Israel: euen, to the pure in heart.
Saamu ti Asafu. Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run dára fún Israẹli, fún àwọn ọlọ́kàn funfun.
2 As for me, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well neere slipt.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti èmi, ẹsẹ̀ mi ti yẹ̀ tán; ìrìn mi fẹ́rẹ̀ yọ̀ tán.
3 For I feared at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperitie of the wicked.
Nítorí èmi ń ṣe ìlara àwọn tó ń ṣe féfé nígbà tí mo bá rí àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn búburú.
4 For there are no bandes in their death, but they are lustie and strong.
Wọn kò ṣe wàhálà; ara wọn mókun wọn sì lágbára.
5 They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men.
Wọn kò ní ìpín nínú àjàgà tó ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ènìyàn; a kò pọ́n wọn lójú nípa ẹlòmíràn.
6 Therefore pride is as a chayne vnto them, and crueltie couereth them as a garment.
Ìgbéraga ni ọ̀ṣọ́ ọrùn wọn; ìwà ipá bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ bí aṣọ.
7 Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: they haue more then heart can wish.
Láti inú ọkàn àrékérekè ni àìṣòdodo ti wá; ẹ̀rí ọkàn búburú wọn kò ní òdínwọ̀n.
8 They are licentious, and speake wickedly of their oppression: they talke presumptuously.
Wọn ń ṣẹ̀sín, wọn sì ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì ní ti ìnilára, wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ láti ibi gíga.
9 They set their mouth against heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
Wọ́n ń gbé ẹ̀mí wọn lé ọ̀run ahọ́n wọn gba ipò ayé.
10 Therefore his people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn wọn yípadà sí wọn wọ́n sì mu omi ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
11 And they say, Howe doeth God know it? or is there knowledge in the most High?
Wọ́n wí pé, “Báwo ni Ọlọ́run yóò ṣe mọ̀? Ọ̀gá-ògo ha ní ìmọ̀ bí?”
12 Lo, these are the wicked, yet prosper they alway, and increase in riches.
Bí àwọn ènìyàn búburú ṣe rí nìyí, ènìyàn asán, wọ́n ń pọ̀ ní ọrọ̀.
13 Certainely I haue clensed mine heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.
Nítòótọ́ nínú asán ni mo pa ọkàn mi mọ́; nínú asán ni mo wẹ ọwọ́ mi ní àìlẹ́ṣẹ̀.
14 For dayly haue I bene punished, and chastened euery morning.
Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ni a ń yọ mí lẹ́nu; a sì ń jẹ mí ní yà ní gbogbo òwúrọ̀.
15 If I say, I will iudge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trespassed.
Bí mo bá wí pé, “Èmi ó wí báyìí,” èmi ó ṣẹ̀ sí ìran àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
16 Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,
Nígbà tí mo gbìyànjú láti mọ èyí, Ó jẹ́ ìnilára fún mi,
17 Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.
títí mo fi wọ ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run; nígbà náà ni òye ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn yé mi.
18 Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.
Lóòtítọ́ ìwọ gbé wọn lórí ilẹ̀ yíyọ́ ìwọ jù wọ́n sílẹ̀ sínú ìparun.
19 How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,
Báwo ní a ti mú wọn lọ sínú ìdahoro yìí bí ẹni pé ní ìṣẹ́jú kan! Ìbẹ̀rù ni a fi ń run wọ́n pátápátá!
20 As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lord, when thou raisest vs vp, thou shalt make their image despised.
Bí àlá nígbà tí ènìyàn bá jí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà tí ìwọ bá dìde, Olúwa, ìwọ yóò ṣe àbùkù àwòrán wọn.
21 Certainely mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reines:
Nígbà tí inú mi bàjẹ́ àti ọkàn mi ṣì korò,
22 So foolish was I and ignorant: I was a beast before thee.
mo jẹ́ aṣiwèrè àti aláìlóye; mo jẹ́ ẹranko ní iwájú rẹ.
23 Yet I was alway with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
Síbẹ̀ mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nígbà gbogbo; ìwọ di ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi mú.
24 Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.
Ìwọ fi ìmọ̀ràn rẹ tọ́ mi ní ìkẹyìn ìwọ ó mú mi lọ sí inú ògo.
25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
Ta ni mo ní ní ọ̀run, bí kò ṣe ìwọ? Àti ní ayé kò sí ohun tí mo fẹ́ lẹ́yìn rẹ.
26 My flesh fayleth and mine heart also: but God is the strength of mine heart, and my portion for euer.
Ara mi àti ọkàn mi le è kùnà ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ni agbára ẹ̀mí mi àti ìpín mi títí láé.
27 For loe, they that withdrawe themselues from thee, shall perish: thou destroyest all them that goe a whoring from thee.
Àwọn tí ó jìnnà sí ọ yóò ṣègbé ìwọ ti pa gbogbo wọn run; tí ń ṣe àgbèrè kiri kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.
28 As for me, it is good for me to draw neere to God: therefore I haue put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy workes.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti èmi, ó dára láti súnmọ́ Ọlọ́run. Èmi ti fi Olúwa Olódùmarè ṣe ààbò mi; kí èmi ó lè máa sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ.
