< Psalms 94 >
1 O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ń gbẹ̀san, Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ń gbẹ̀san.
2 Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
Gbé ara rẹ sókè, ìwọ onídàájọ́ ayé; san ẹ̀san fún agbéraga ohun tí ó yẹ wọ́n.
3 Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Báwo ní yóò ti pẹ́ tó, Olúwa tí àwọn ẹni búburú yóò kọ orin ayọ̀?
4 They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
Wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ ìgbéraga jáde; gbogbo àwọn olùṣe búburú kún fún ìṣògo.
5 They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.
Wọ́n fọ́ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ túútúú, Olúwa: wọ́n pọ́n ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ lójú.
6 They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.
Wọ́n pa àwọn opó àti àlejò, wọ́n sì pa àwọn ọmọ aláìní baba.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
Wọ́n sọ pé, “Olúwa kò rí i; Ọlọ́run Jakọbu kò sì kíyèsi i.”
8 Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?
Kíyèsi i, ẹ̀yin aláìlóye nínú àwọn ènìyàn; ẹ̀yin aṣiwèrè, nígbà wo ni ẹ̀yin yóò lóye?
9 Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Ẹni tí ó gbin etí, ó lè ṣe aláìgbọ́ bí? Ẹni tí ó dá ojú? Ó ha lè ṣe aláìríran bí?
10 Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?
Ẹni tí ń bá orílẹ̀-èdè wí, ṣé kò lè tọ́ ni ṣọ́nà bí? Ẹni tí ń kọ́ ènìyàn ha lè ṣàìní ìmọ̀ bí?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
Olúwa mọ èrò inú ènìyàn; ó mọ̀ pé asán ni wọ́n.
12 Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,
Ìbùkún ni fún ènìyàn náà tí ìwọ bá wí, Olúwa, ẹni tí ìwọ kọ́ nínú òfin rẹ,
13 That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.
Ìwọ gbà á kúrò nínú ọjọ́ ibi, títí a ó fi wa ihò sílẹ̀ fún ẹni búburú.
14 Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
Nítorí Olúwa kò ní kọ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, Òun kò sì ní kọ ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
15 For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.
Ìdájọ́ yóò padà sí òdodo, àti gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́kàn dídúró ṣinṣin yóò tẹ̀lé e lẹ́yìn.
16 Who will rise vp with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquitie?
Ta ni yóò dìde fún mi sí àwọn olùṣe búburú? Tàbí ta ni yóò dìde sí àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún mi?
17 If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
Bí kò ṣe pé Olúwa fún mi ní ìrànlọ́wọ́, èmi fẹ́rẹ̀ máa gbé ní ilẹ̀ tí ó dákẹ́.
18 When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
Nígbà tí mo sọ pé, “Ẹsẹ̀ mi ń yọ̀”, Olúwa, ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ó tì mí lẹ́yìn.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.
Nígbà tí àníyàn ńlá wà nínú mi, ìtùnú rẹ̀ mú ayọ̀ sí ọkàn mi.
20 Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
Ìjọba ìbàjẹ́ ha lè kẹ́gbẹ́ pẹ̀lú rẹ ẹni tí ń fi òfin dì mọ́ ìwà ìkà?
21 They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
Wọ́n kó ara wọn jọ sí olódodo wọ́n sì ń dá àwọn aláìṣẹ̀ lẹ́bi sí ikú.
22 But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
Ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa ti di odi alágbára mi, àti Ọlọ́run mi ni àpáta nínú ẹni tí mo ti ń gba ààbò.
23 And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
Òun yóò san ẹ̀san ibi wọn fún wọn yóò sì pa wọ́n run nítorí búburú wọn Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa yóò pa wọ́n run.
