< Psalms 37 >
1 BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] Do not fret because of evildoers, Do not be envious against doers of iniquity,
Ti Dafidi. Má ṣe ìkanra nítorí àwọn olùṣe búburú, kí ìwọ má sì ṣe ṣe ìlara nítorí àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀;
2 For they are cut off speedily as grass, And fade as the greenness of the tender grass.
nítorí pé wọn yóò gbẹ bí i koríko, wọn yóò sì rẹ̀ dànù bí ewéko tútù.
3 Trust in YHWH, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,
Gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa, kí o sì máa ṣe rere; torí pé ìwọ yóò gbé ilẹ̀ náà, kí o sì gbádùn ààbò rẹ̀.
4 And delight yourself on YHWH, And He gives to you the petitions of your heart.
Ṣe inú dídùn sí Olúwa; òun yóò sì fún ọ ní ìfẹ́ inú rẹ̀.
5 Roll your way on YHWH, And trust on Him, and He works,
Fi ọ̀nà rẹ lé Olúwa lọ́wọ́; gbẹ́kẹ̀lé pẹ̀lú, òun yóò sì ṣe é.
6 And has brought out your righteousness as light, And your judgment as noon-day.
Yóò sì mú kí òdodo rẹ̀ jáde bí ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀, àti ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ bí ọ̀sán gangan.
7 Be silent for YHWH, and stay yourself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making his way prosperous, Because of a man doing wicked schemes.
Ìwọ dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ níwájú Olúwa, kí o sì fi sùúrù dúró dè é; má ṣe ṣe ìkanra nítorí àwọn tí ń rí rere ní ọ̀nà wọn, nítorí ọkùnrin náà ti mú èrò búburú ṣẹ.
8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Do not fret yourself to only do evil.
Fàsẹ́yìn nínú inúbíbí, kí o sì kọ ìkáàánú sílẹ̀, má ṣe ṣe ìkanra, kí ó má ba à ṣé búburú pẹ̀lú.
9 For evildoers are cut off, As for those waiting on YHWH, they possess the land.
Nítorí tí á ó gé àwọn olùṣe búburú kúrò, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó bá dúró de Olúwa àwọn ni yóò jogún ilẹ̀ náà.
10 And yet a little [while], and the wicked is not, And you have considered his place, and it is not.
Síbẹ̀ nígbà díẹ̀ sí i, àwọn ènìyàn búburú kì yóò sí mọ̀; nítòótọ́ ìwọ yóò fi ara balẹ̀ wo ipò rẹ̀, wọn kì yóò sí níbẹ̀.
11 And the humble possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́kàn tútù ni yóò jogún ilẹ̀ náà, wọn yóò sì máa ṣe inú dídùn nínú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àlàáfíà.
12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing his teeth against him.
Ènìyàn búburú di rìkíṣí sí olóòtítọ́, wọ́n sì pa eyín wọn keke sí wọn;
13 The Lord laughs at him, For He has seen that his day comes.
ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa rẹ́rìn-ín sí àwọn ènìyàn búburú, nítorí tí ó rí wí pé ọjọ́ wọn ń bọ̀.
14 The wicked have opened a sword, And they have bent their bow, To cause the poor and needy to fall, To slaughter the upright of the way.
Ènìyàn búburú fa idà yọ, wọ́n sì tẹ àwọn ọrun wọn, láti sọ tálákà àti aláìní kalẹ̀, láti pa àwọn tí ó dúró ṣinṣin.
15 Their sword enters into their own heart, And their bows are shattered.
Idà wọn yóò wọ àyà wọn lọ, àti wí pé ọrun wọn yóò sì ṣẹ́.
16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
Ohun díẹ̀ tí olódodo ní, sàn ju ọ̀pọ̀ ọrọ̀ ènìyàn búburú;
17 For the arms of the wicked are shattered, And YHWH is sustaining the righteous.
nítorí pé a óò ṣẹ́ ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa gbé olódodo sókè.
18 YHWH knows the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is for all time.
Olúwa mọ àwọn ọjọ́ àwọn tó dúró ṣinṣin, àti wí pé ilẹ̀ ìní wọn yóò wà títí ayérayé.
19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And they are satisfied in days of famine.
Ojú kì yóò tì wọ́n ní àkókò ibi, àti ní ọjọ́ ìyàn, a ó tẹ́ wọn lọ́rùn.
20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of YHWH, Have been consumed as the preciousness of lambs, They have been consumed in smoke.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn búburú yóò ṣègbé. Àwọn ọ̀tá Olúwa yóò dàbí ẹwà oko tútù; wọn fò lọ; bi èéfín ni wọn yóò fò lọ kúrò.
21 The wicked is borrowing and does not repay, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
Àwọn ènìyàn búburú yá, wọn kò sì san án padà, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olódodo a máa ṣàánú, a sì máa fi fún ni;
22 For His blessed ones possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.
nítorí àwọn tí Olúwa bá bùkún ni yóò jogún ilẹ̀ náà, àwọn tí ó fi bú ni a ó gé kúrò.
23 The steps of a man [are] from YHWH, They have been prepared, And He desires his way.
Ìlànà ìgbésẹ̀ ènìyàn rere wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá, o sì ṣe inú dídùn sí ọ̀nà rẹ̀;
24 When he falls, he is not cast down, For YHWH is sustaining his hand.
bí ó tilẹ̀ ṣubú a kì yóò ta á nù pátápátá, nítorí tí Olúwa di ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mú.
25 I have been young, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
Èmi ti wà ni èwe, báyìí èmi sì dàgbà; síbẹ̀ èmi kò ì tí ì ri kí a kọ olódodo sílẹ̀, tàbí kí irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ máa ṣagbe oúnjẹ.
26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
Aláàánú ni òun nígbà gbogbo a máa yá ni; a sì máa bùsi i fún ni.
27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell for all time.
Lọ kúrò nínú ibi, kí o sì máa ṣe rere; nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò gbé ní ilẹ̀ náà títí láéláé.
28 For YHWH is loving judgment, And He does not forsake His saintly ones, They have been kept for all time, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.
Nítorí pé Olúwa fẹ́ràn ìdájọ́ òtítọ́, kò sì kọ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀. Àwọn olódodo ni a ó pamọ́ títí ayérayé, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn búburú ni a ó ké kúrò.
29 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell on it forever.
Olódodo ni yóò jogún ilẹ̀ náà, yóò sì máa gbé ibẹ̀ títí ayérayé.
30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks judgment.
Ẹnu olódodo sọ̀rọ̀ ọgbọ́n, ahọ́n rẹ̀ a sì máa sọ̀rọ̀ ìdájọ́.
31 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.
Òfin Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní àyà wọn; àwọn ìgbésẹ̀ rẹ̀ kì yóò yẹ̀.
32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.
Ènìyàn búburú ń ṣọ́ olódodo, Ó sì ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa á.
33 YHWH does not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
Olúwa kì yóò fi lé e lọ́wọ́ kì yóò sì dá a lẹ́bi, nígbà tí a bá ń ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀.
34 Look to YHWH, and keep His way, And He exalts you to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off—you see!
Dúró de Olúwa, kí o sì máa pa ọ̀nà rẹ̀ mọ́. Yóò sì gbé ọ lékè láti jogún ilẹ̀ náà; nígbà tí a bá gé àwọn ènìyàn búburú kúrò ìwọ yóò ri.
35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
Èmi ti rí ènìyàn búburú tí ń hu ìwà ìkà, ó sì fi ara rẹ̀ gbilẹ̀ bí igi tútù ńlá,
36 And he passes away, and behold, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
ṣùgbọ́n ní ìṣẹ́jú kan sí i ó kọjá lọ, sì kíyèsi, kò sì sí mọ́; bi ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé mo wá a kiri, ṣùgbọ́n a kò le è ri.
37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.
Máa kíyèsi ẹni pípé, kí o sì wo ẹni tó dúró ṣinṣin; nítorí àlàáfíà ni òpin ọkùnrin náà.
38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olùrékọjá ni a ó parun papọ̀; ìran àwọn ènìyàn búburú ni a ó gé kúrò.
39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from YHWH, Their strong place in a time of adversity.
Ìgbàlà àwọn onídùúró ṣinṣin wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa; òun ni ààbò wọn ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú
40 And YHWH helps them and delivers them, He delivers them from the wicked, And saves them, Because they trusted in Him!
Olúwa yóò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ yóò sì gbà wọ́n; yóò gbà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ ènìyàn búburú, yóò sì gbà wọ́n là, nítorí tí wọ́n gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e.
