< Psalms 73 >
1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. Surely God [is] good to Israel, to the clean of heart. And I—as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,
Saamu ti Asafu. Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run dára fún Israẹli, fún àwọn ọlọ́kàn funfun.
2 As nothing, my steps have slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful,
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti èmi, ẹsẹ̀ mi ti yẹ̀ tán; ìrìn mi fẹ́rẹ̀ yọ̀ tán.
3 I see the peace of the wicked, That there are no bands at their death,
Nítorí èmi ń ṣe ìlara àwọn tó ń ṣe féfé nígbà tí mo bá rí àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn búburú.
4 And their might [is] firm.
Wọn kò ṣe wàhálà; ara wọn mókun wọn sì lágbára.
5 They are not in the misery of mortals, And they are not plagued with common men.
Wọn kò ní ìpín nínú àjàgà tó ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ènìyàn; a kò pọ́n wọn lójú nípa ẹlòmíràn.
6 Therefore pride has encircled them, Violence covers them as a dress.
Ìgbéraga ni ọ̀ṣọ́ ọrùn wọn; ìwà ipá bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ bí aṣọ.
7 Their eye has come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;
Láti inú ọkàn àrékérekè ni àìṣòdodo ti wá; ẹ̀rí ọkàn búburú wọn kò ní òdínwọ̀n.
8 They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, They speak from on high.
Wọn ń ṣẹ̀sín, wọn sì ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì ní ti ìnilára, wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ láti ibi gíga.
9 They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walks in the earth.
Wọ́n ń gbé ẹ̀mí wọn lé ọ̀run ahọ́n wọn gba ipò ayé.
10 Therefore His people return here, And waters of fullness are wrung out to them.
Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn wọn yípadà sí wọn wọ́n sì mu omi ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
11 And they have said, “How has God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
Wọ́n wí pé, “Báwo ni Ọlọ́run yóò ṣe mọ̀? Ọ̀gá-ògo ha ní ìmọ̀ bí?”
12 Behold, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.
Bí àwọn ènìyàn búburú ṣe rí nìyí, ènìyàn asán, wọ́n ń pọ̀ ní ọrọ̀.
13 Only—a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash my hands in innocence,
Nítòótọ́ nínú asán ni mo pa ọkàn mi mọ́; nínú asán ni mo wẹ ọwọ́ mi ní àìlẹ́ṣẹ̀.
14 And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof—every morning.
Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ni a ń yọ mí lẹ́nu; a sì ń jẹ mí ní yà ní gbogbo òwúrọ̀.
15 If I have said, “I recount thus,” Behold, I have deceived a generation of Your sons.
Bí mo bá wí pé, “Èmi ó wí báyìí,” èmi ó ṣẹ̀ sí ìran àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
16 And I think to know this, It [is] perverseness in my eyes,
Nígbà tí mo gbìyànjú láti mọ èyí, Ó jẹ́ ìnilára fún mi,
17 Until I come into the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.
títí mo fi wọ ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run; nígbà náà ni òye ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn yé mi.
18 Surely You set them in slippery places, You have caused them to fall to desolations.
Lóòtítọ́ ìwọ gbé wọn lórí ilẹ̀ yíyọ́ ìwọ jù wọ́n sílẹ̀ sínú ìparun.
19 How they have become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended—consumed from terrors.
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 dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, You despise their image.
Bí àlá nígbà tí ènìyàn bá jí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà tí ìwọ bá dìde, Olúwa, ìwọ yóò ṣe àbùkù àwòrán wọn.
21 For my heart shows itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,
Nígbà tí inú mi bàjẹ́ àti ọkàn mi ṣì korò,
22 And I am brutish, and do not know. I have been a beast with You.
mo jẹ́ aṣiwèrè àti aláìlóye; mo jẹ́ ẹranko ní iwájú rẹ.
23 And I [am] continually with You, You have laid hold on my right hand.
Síbẹ̀ mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nígbà gbogbo; ìwọ di ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi mú.
24 You lead me with Your counsel, And after, receive me [to] glory.
Ìwọ fi ìmọ̀ràn rẹ tọ́ mi ní ìkẹyìn ìwọ ó mú mi lọ sí inú ògo.
25 Whom do I have in the heavens? And none have I desired in earth [besides] You.
Ta ni mo ní ní ọ̀run, bí kò ṣe ìwọ? Àti ní ayé kò sí ohun tí mo fẹ́ lẹ́yìn rẹ.
26 My flesh and my heart have been consumed, God [is] the rock of my heart and my portion for all time.
Ara mi àti ọkàn mi le è kùnà ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ni agbára ẹ̀mí mi àti ìpín mi títí láé.
27 For behold, those far from You perish, You have cut off everyone, Who is going whoring from You.
Àwọn tí ó jìnnà sí ọ yóò ṣègbé ìwọ ti pa gbogbo wọn run; tí ń ṣe àgbèrè kiri kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.
28 And [the] nearness of God to me [is] good, I have placed my refuge in Lord YHWH, To recount all Your works!
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.
