< 2 Samuel 22 >
1 David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
Dafidi sì kọ ọ̀rọ̀ orin yìí sí Olúwa ní ọjọ́ tí Olúwa gbà á kúrò lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, àti kúrò lọ́wọ́ Saulu.
2 and he said, "Jehovah is my Rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.
Ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa ni àpáta mi, àti Olùgbàlà mi;
3 My God, my Rock, in him I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; from violent people he saves me.
Ọlọ́run mi, àpáta mi, nínú ẹni tí èmi ní ààbò, àti ìwo ìgbàlà mi, ibi ìsádi gíga mi. Àti ibi ìlùmọ̀ mi, Olùgbàlà mi; ìwọ ni ó ti gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìwà ipá.
4 I call on Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
“Èmi ké pe Olúwa, tí ó yẹ láti máa yìn, ó sì gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi.
5 For the waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
Nígbà tí ìbìlù ìrora ikú yí mi káàkiri; tí àwọn ìṣàn ènìyàn búburú dẹ́rùbà mí.
6 The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me. (Sheol )
Ọ̀já isà òkú yí mi káàkiri; ìkẹ́kùn ikú dojúkọ mí. (Sheol )
7 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came into his ears.
“Nínú ìpọ́njú mi, èmi ké pé Olúwa, èmi sì gbé ohùn mi sókè sí Ọlọ́run mi. Ó sí gbóhùn mi láti tẹmpili rẹ̀ igbe mí wọ etí rẹ̀.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Ilẹ̀ sì mì, ó sì wárìrì; ìpìlẹ̀ ọ̀run wárìrì, ó sì mì, nítorí tí ó bínú.
9 Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
Èéfín ti ihò imú rẹ̀ jáde wá, iná ajónirun ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde wá, ẹ̀yin iná bú jáde láti inú rẹ̀.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
Ó tẹ orí ọ̀run ba pẹ̀lú, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀; òkùnkùn biribiri sì ń bẹ ní àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
11 He rode on a cherub, and flew; and he soared on the wings of the wind.
Ó sì gun orí kérúbù, ó sì fò, a sì rí i lórí ìyẹ́ afẹ́fẹ́.
12 He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
Ó sì fi òkùnkùn ṣe ibùjókòó yí ara rẹ̀, àti àgbájọ omi, àní ìṣúdudu ìkùùkuu àwọ̀ sánmọ̀.
13 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
Nípasẹ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀ iwájú rẹ̀ ẹ̀yín iná ràn.
14 Jehovah thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
Olúwa sán àrá láti ọ̀run wá, Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ sì fọhùn rẹ̀.
15 And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
Ó sì ta ọfà, ó sì tú wọn ká; ó kọ mànàmànà, ó sì ṣẹ́ wọn.
16 Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
Ìṣàn ibú òkun sì fi ara hàn, ìpìlẹ̀ ayé fi ara hàn, nípa ìbáwí Olúwa, nípa fífún èémí ihò imú rẹ̀.
17 He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
“Ó ránṣẹ́ láti òkè wá, ó mú mi; ó fà mí jáde láti inú omi ńlá wá.
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Ó gbà mí lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá mi alágbára, lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi, nítorí pé wọ́n lágbára jù mí lọ.
19 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my support.
Wọ́n wá láti borí mi lọ́jọ́ ìpọ́njú mi, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ni aláfẹ̀yìntì mi.
20 He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Ó sì mú mi wá sí ààyè ńlá, ó gbà mi, nítorí tí inú rẹ̀ dún sí mi.
21 Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
“Olúwa sán án fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi; ó sì san án fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí mímọ́ ọwọ́ mi.
22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Nítorí pé èmi pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ́, èmi kò sì fi ìwà búburú yapa kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run mi.
23 For all his ordinances were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me.
Nítorí pé gbogbo ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ ni ó wà níwájú mi; àti ní ti òfin rẹ̀, èmi kò sì yapa kúrò nínú wọn.
24 I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Èmi sì wà nínú ìwà títọ́ sí í, èmi sì pa ara mi mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
25 Therefore Jehovah has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Olúwa sì san fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà mímọ́ mi níwájú rẹ̀.
26 With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
“Fún aláàánú ni ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ni aláàánú, àti fún ẹni ìdúró ṣinṣin ní òdodo ni ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ hàn ní ìdúró ṣinṣin ní òdodo.
27 With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
Fún onínú funfun ni ìwọ fi ara rẹ hàn ní funfun; àti fún ẹni wíwọ́ ni ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ hàn ní wíwọ́.
28 You save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
Àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà nínú ìyà ni ìwọ ó sì gbàlà; ṣùgbọ́n ojú rẹ wà lára àwọn agbéraga, láti rẹ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀.
29 For you light my lamp. Jehovah my God lights up my darkness.
Nítorí ìwọ ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ mi, Olúwa; Olúwa yóò sì sọ òkùnkùn mi di ìmọ́lẹ̀.
30 For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nítorí nípa rẹ̀ ni èmi ti la àárín ogun kọjá; nípa Ọlọ́run mi èmi ti fo odi kan.
31 As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
“Ọlọ́run yìí, pípé ni ọ̀nà rẹ̀; ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ni a ti dánwò. Òun sì ni asà fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e.
32 For who is God, besides Jehovah? Who is a rock, besides our God,
Nítorí ta ni Ọlọ́run, bí kò ṣe Olúwa? Ta ni àpáta, bí kò ṣe Ọlọ́run wa.
33 the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
Ọlọ́run alágbára ni ó fún mi ní agbára, ó sì sọ ọ̀nà mi di títọ́.
34 He makes my feet like those of a deer, and sets me on my high places.
Ó ṣe ẹsẹ̀ mi bí ẹsẹ̀ abo àgbọ̀nrín; ó sì mú mi dúró ní ibi gíga mi.
35 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
Ó kọ́ ọwọ́ mi ní ogun jíjà; tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí apá mi fa ọrun idẹ.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
Ìwọ sì ti fún mi ní asà ìgbàlà rẹ̀; ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ rẹ̀ sì ti sọ mí di ńlá.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
Ìwọ sì sọ ìtẹ̀lẹ̀ di ńlá ní abẹ́ mi; tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ẹsẹ̀ mi kò fi yọ̀.
38 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
“Èmi ti lépa àwọn ọ̀tá mi, èmi sì ti run wọ́n, èmi kò pẹ̀yìndà títí èmi fi run wọ́n.
39 And I consumed them, and struck them through, so that they did not rise. And they fell beneath my feet.
Èmi ti pa wọ́n run, èmi sì ti fọ́ wọn, wọn kò sì le dìde mọ́, wọ́n ṣubú lábẹ́ mi.
40 For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Ìwọ sì ti fi agbára dì mí ní àmùrè fún ìjà; àwọn tí ó ti dìde sí mi ni ìwọ sì ti tẹ̀ lórí ba fún mi.
41 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Ìwọ sì mú àwọn ọ̀tá mi pẹ̀yìndà fún mi, èmi ó sì pa àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi run.
42 They cry out, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but he did not answer them.
Wọ́n wò, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan láti gbà wọ́n; wọ́n wo Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kò dá àwọn lóhùn.
43 Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
Nígbà náà ni èmi sì gún wọn wẹ́wẹ́ bí erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, èmi sì tẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ bí ẹrẹ̀ ìta, èmi sì tẹ́ wọn gbọrọ.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
“Ìwọ sì gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìjà àwọn ènìyàn mi, ìwọ pa mi mọ́ ki èmi lè ṣe olórí àwọn àjèjì orílẹ̀-èdè. Àwọn ènìyàn tí èmi kò tí mọ̀ yóò máa sìn mí.
45 As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
Àwọn àjèjì wá láti tẹríba fún mi; bí wọ́n bá ti gbúròó mi, wọ́n á sì gbọ́ tèmi.
46 they are not bound in chains.
Àyà yóò pá àwọn àlejò, wọ́n ó sì fi ìbẹ̀rù sá kúrò níbi kọ́lọ́fín wọn.
47 Jehovah lives. Blessed be my rock. Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
“Olúwa ń bẹ́; olùbùkún sì ni àpáta mi! Gbígbéga sì ni Ọlọ́run àpáta ìgbàlà mi.
48 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me,
Ọlọ́run ni ẹni tí ń gbẹ̀san mi, àti ẹni tí ń rẹ àwọn ènìyàn sílẹ̀ lábẹ́ mi.
49 who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You protect me from the violent man.
Àti ẹni tí ó gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi. Ìwọ sì gbé mi sókè ju àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi lọ; ìwọ sì gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọkùnrin oníwà ipá.
50 Therefore I will praise you, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
Nítorí náà èmi ó fi ọpẹ́ fún ọ, Olúwa, láàrín àwọn àjèjì orílẹ̀-èdè, èmi ó sì kọrin sí orúkọ rẹ.
51 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever."
“Òun ni ilé ìṣọ́ ìgbàlà fún ọba rẹ̀; ó sì fi àánú hàn fún ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀, fún Dafidi, àti fún irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ títí láéláé.”
