< Psalms 19 >
1 For the leader. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God’s glory, the sky tells what his hands have done.
Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Àwọn ọ̀run ń sọ nípa ti ògo Ọlọ́run; àwọsánmọ̀ ń sọ nípa ti iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
2 Day tells it to day, night reveals it to night,
Wọ́n ń fọhùn ní ọjọ́ dé ọjọ́; wọ́n ń fi ìmọ̀ hàn ní alẹ́ dé alẹ́.
3 without speaking, without words; without the sound of voices.
Kò sí ohùn tàbí èdè níbi tí a kò gbé gbọ́ ìró wọn.
4 But through all the world their voice carries their words to the ends of the earth. He has pitched a tent for the sun in the sky,
Ohùn wọn jáde lọ sí gbogbo orílẹ̀ ayé, ọ̀rọ̀ wọn títí dé òpin ilẹ̀ ayé. Ó ti kọ́ àgọ́ fún oòrùn nínú àwọn ọ̀run.
5 it comes out like a bridegroom from his bridal chamber, it joyfully runs its course like a hero.
Tí ó dàbí ọkọ ìyàwó tí ó ń jáde ti yàrá rẹ̀ wá, òun yọ bí alágbára ọkùnrin tí ó ń sáré ìje.
6 From one end of the heavens it rises, and around it runs to the other, and nothing hides from its heat.
Ìjáde lọ rẹ̀ ni láti òpin ọ̀run wá àti àyíká rẹ̀ sì dé ìpínlẹ̀ rẹ̀; kò sì sí ohun tí ó pamọ́ kúrò nínú oore rẹ̀.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, renewing life. The decrees of the Lord are trusty, making the simple wise.
Pípé ni òfin Olúwa, ó ń yí ọkàn padà. Ẹ̀rí Olúwa dánilójú, ó sọ òpè di ọlọ́gbọ́n.
8 The behests of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is pure, giving light to the eyes.
Ìlànà Olúwa tọ̀nà, ó ń fi ayọ̀ fún ọkàn. Àṣẹ Olúwa ni mímọ́, ó ń fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún ojú.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, it endures forever. The Lord’s judgments are true and right altogether.
Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa mọ́, ó ń faradà títí láéláé. Ìdájọ́ Olúwa dájú òdodo ni gbogbo wọn.
10 More precious are they than gold – than fine gold in plenty, and sweeter they are than honey, that drops from the comb.
Wọn ṣọ̀wọ́n ju wúrà lọ, ju wúrà tí o dára jùlọ, wọ́n dùn ju oyin lọ, àti ju afárá oyin lọ.
11 By them is your servant warned; who keeps them has rich reward.
Nípa wọn ni a ti ṣí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ létí; nípa pípa wọ́n mọ́, èrè púpọ̀ ń bẹ.
12 Who can know their flaws? Absolve me from those I know not.
Ta ni ó lè mọ àṣìṣe rẹ̀? Dáríjì mí nínú àṣìṣe mi tí ó pamọ́.
13 Keep your servant from wilful sins – from falling under their sway: then blameless and clear will I be from great offense.
Wẹ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àmọ̀ọ́n-mọ̀-dá; má ṣe jẹ kí wọn kí ó jẹ ọba lórí mi. Nígbà náà ní èmi yóò dúró ṣinṣin, èmi yóò sì ṣe aláìlẹ́bi kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ńlá.
14 May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, Lord, my rock and redeemer.
Jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi àti àṣàrò ọkàn mi kí ó jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà ní ojú rẹ, Ìwọ Olúwa àpáta mi, àti Olùdáǹdè mi.
