Psalms 55
1 To the Chief Musician: with stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. Give ear, O God, to my prayer, And do not hide thyself from my supplication:
Fún adarí orin. Pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn. Maskili ti Dafidi. Fi etí sí àdúrà mi, Ọlọ́run, má ṣe fi ojú pa ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi rẹ́:
2 Attend unto me, and answer me, I may ramble in my complaining, And be driven to and fro—
gbọ́ mi kí o sì dá mi lóhùn. Èrò mi ń dà mí láàmú, èmi sì ń pariwo.
3 Because of the noise of the enemy, By reason of the oppression of the lawless one, For they would let trouble drop upon me, And, in anger, would they entrap me.
Sí ohùn àwọn ọ̀tá ni, nítorí igbe àwọn ènìyàn búburú; nítorí wọ́n mú ìjìyà wá sórí mi, wọ́n sì kẹ́gàn mi nínú ìbínú wọn.
4 My heart, would writhe within me, And, the terrors of Death, have fallen upon me:
Ọkàn mi wà nínú ìrora pẹ̀lú; ẹ̀rù ikú kọjú ìjà sí mi.
5 Fear and trembling, would enter me, And there would have overwhelmed me—a horror!
Ìbẹ̀rù àti ìwárìrì wa sí ara mi; ìbẹ̀rù ti bò mí mọ́lẹ̀.
6 Then I said—Oh that there were given me a pinion, like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest:
Èmi sọ pé, “Èmi ìbá ní ìyẹ́ bí àdàbà! Èmi ìbá fò lọ kí n sì sinmi.
7 Lo! I would take a distant flight, I would tarry in the wilderness. (Selah)
Èmi ìbá sálọ, jìnnà réré, kí ń sì dúró sí aginjù;
8 I would hasten mine escape, From rushing wind, from storm.
èmi ìbá yára lọ́ si ibùgbé mi ní ibi ààbò, jìnnà kúrò nínú ìjì àti ẹ̀fúùfù líle.”
9 Confuse, O My Lord, divide their speech, For I have seen violence and contention in the city;
Da àwọn ẹni búburú láàmú, Olúwa, da ahọ́n wọn rú, nítorí èmi rí ìwà agbára àti ìjà ní ìlú náà.
10 Day and night, they go round her, upon her walls, And, trouble and misery, are in her midst;
Ọ̀sán àti òru ni wọ́n fi ń rìn gbogbo odi kiri; ìwà ìkà àti èébú wà láàrín rẹ̀.
11 Engulfing ruin, is in her midst, And there depart not from her broadway, oppression and deceit.
Ìwà búburú ń bẹ ní àárín rẹ̀; ẹ̀tàn àti èké kò kúrò ní ìgboro rẹ̀.
12 For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, —Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;
Tí ọ̀tá bá tàbùkù mi, èmi yóò fi ara mọ́ ọn; tí ọ̀tá bá gbé ara rẹ̀ ga sí mi, èmi ìbá sá pamọ́ fún un.
13 But it is, thou, a man esteemed as mine equal, mine associate, and mine acquaintance;
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá ṣe ìwọ, ọkùnrin bí ẹgbẹ́ mi, ẹlẹgbẹ́ mi, àti ọ̀rẹ́ tí ó súnmọ́ mi,
14 So that together have we been wont to find sweetness in counsel, In the house of God, used we to walk in the throng.
pẹ̀lú ẹni tí èmi ti jẹ ìgbádùn adùn ìdàpọ̀, bí a ṣe ń rìn pẹ̀lú àwùjọ ní ilé Ọlọ́run.
15 Desolations on them! Let them go down into hades alive, For, wicked doings, are at home within them. (Sheol h7585)
Kí ikú kí ó dé bá wọn, kí wọn ó lọ láààyè sí isà òkú, jẹ́ kí wọn ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí ibojì pẹ̀lú ìpayà, nítorí tí ìwà búburú ń bẹ ní ibùjókòó wọn, àti nínú wọn. (Sheol h7585)
16 I, unto God, will cry, —And, Yahweh, will save me.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi pe Ọlọ́run; Olúwa yóò sì gbà mí.
17 At evening and morning and high noon, have I been wont to lament and complain, And he hath heard my voice!
Ní alẹ́, ní òwúrọ̀ àti ní ọ̀sán èmi sọkún jáde nínú ìpọ́njú, o sì gbọ́ ohùn mi.
18 He hath completely redeemed my soul, out of the attack upon me, For, in multitudes, were they [in conflict] with me.
Ó rà mí padà láìléwu kúrò nínú ogun tí ó dìde sí mi, nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni ó dìde sí mi.
19 GOD will hear, Yea He will humble them who aforetime sat [enthroned]. (Selah) With whom are no changings, Neither have they revered God.
Ọlọ́run yóò gbọ́, yóò sì pọ́n wọn lójú àní, ẹni tí ó ti jókòó láti ìgbàanì (Sela) nítorí tí wọn kò ní àyípadà, tí wọn kò sì bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
20 He hath thrust forth his hands, against them he was wont to salute, he hath violated his covenant;
Ọ̀rẹ́ mi yìí ti dalẹ̀ èmi ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀; ó ti ba májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ jẹ́.
21 Smoother than curds, were [the words of] his mouth, But, war, was [in] his heart, —Softer his words than oil, Yet, they, were drawn swords!
Ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu rẹ̀ kúnná ju òrí-àmọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ogun wà ni àyà rẹ̀; ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ fẹ́lẹ́ ju òróró lọ, ṣùgbọ́n idà fífàyọ ní wọn.
22 Cast upon Yahweh thy lot, and, he, will sustain thee: He will not suffer, to times age-abiding, the righteous one to be shaken.
Gbé ẹrù rẹ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa yóò sì mú ọ dúró; òun kò ní jẹ́ kí olódodo ṣubú.
23 But, thou, O God, wilt bring them down to the pit of destruction, Men of bloodshed and deceit, shall not live out half their days; But, I, will trust in thee.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Ọlọ́run, ni yóò mu àwọn ọ̀tá mi wá sí ihò ìparun; àwọn ẹni tí òǹgbẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ ń gbẹ àti ẹni ẹ̀tàn, kì yóò gbé ààbọ̀ ọjọ́ wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n fún èmi, èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ.
