Psalms 104
1 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
Yin Olúwa, ìwọ ọkàn mi. Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ìwọ tóbi jọjọ; ọlá àti ọláńlá ni ìwọ wọ̀ ní aṣọ.
2 You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
Ìwọ fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ bo ara rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí aṣọ; ó tẹ ọ̀run bí títẹ́ ẹní,
3 You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].
ìwọ tí ó fi omi ṣe ìtì igi àjà ìyẹ̀wù rẹ. Ìwọ tí o ṣe àwọsánmọ̀ ní kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun rẹ ìwọ tí ó ń rìn lórí apá ìyẹ́ afẹ́fẹ́.
4 You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
Ó fi ẹ̀fúùfù ṣe àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, ọ̀wọ́-iná ni àwọn olùránṣẹ́ rẹ.
5 You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
O fi ayé gúnlẹ̀ lórí àwọn ìpìlẹ̀; tí a kò le è mì láéláé.
6 [Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
Ìwọ fi ibú omi bò ó mọ́lẹ̀ bí aṣọ; àwọn omi sì dúró lórí àwọn òkè ńlá.
7 [But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
Ṣùgbọ́n nípa ìbáwí rẹ ni àwọn omi lọ, nípa ohùn àrá rẹ ni wọ́n sálọ.
8 Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
wọ́n sàn kọjá lórí àwọn òkè, wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí àwọn pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, sí ibi tí ìwọ ti yàn fún wọn.
9 [Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
Ìwọ gbé òpin tí wọn kò lè kọjá rẹ̀ kálẹ̀; láéláé ni wọ́n kò ní lè bo ayé mọ́lẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i.
10 You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
Ìwọ mú kí ìsun da omi sí àwọn àfonífojì; tí ó ń sàn láàrín àwọn òkè.
11 Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
Wọ́n fún gbogbo àwọn ẹranko igbó ní omi àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ń pa òǹgbẹ wọn.
12 Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
Àwọn ẹyẹ ojú òfúrufú tẹ́ ìtẹ́ wọn lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ omi wọ́n ń kọrin láàrín àwọn ẹ̀ka.
13 From (your home in heaven/the sky) you send rain down on the mountains, and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
Ó bu omi rin àwọn òkè láti ìyẹ̀wù rẹ̀ wá; a tẹ́ ayé lọ́rùn nípa èso iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ.
14 You make/cause grass to grow for the cattle [to eat], and you make/cause plants to grow for people. In that way [animals and people] get their food from [what grows in] the soil.
Ó mú kí koríko hù jáde fún àwọn ẹranko láti jẹ àti àwọn ewébẹ̀ fún ènìyàn láti lò, kí ó lè mú oúnjẹ jáde láti ilẹ̀ wá.
15 We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.
Ọtí wáìnì tí ó ń mú ọkàn ènìyàn yọ̀, òróró láti mú ojú rẹ̀ tan, àti àkàrà láti ra ọkàn rẹ̀ padà.
16 Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
Àwọn igi Olúwa ni a bu omi rin dáradára, kedari ti Lebanoni tí ó gbìn.
17 Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
Níbẹ̀ ní àwọn ẹyẹ ṣe ìtẹ́ wọn bí ó ṣe tí àkọ̀ ni, orí igi gíga ni ilé rẹ̀.
18 High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
Àwọn òkè gíga ni ààbò fún àwọn ewúrẹ́ igbó; àti àwọn àlàpà jẹ́ ààbò fún àwọn ehoro.
19 [Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
Òṣùpá jẹ́ àmì fún àkókò oòrùn sì mọ ìgbà tí yóò wọ̀.
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
Ìwọ mú òkùnkùn wá, ó sì di òru, nínú èyí tí gbogbo ẹranko igbó ń rìn kiri.
21 At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
Kìnnìún ń bú ramúramù fún ohun ọdẹ wọn wọ́n sì ń wá oúnjẹ wọn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
22 At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
Oòrùn ràn, wọ́n sì kó ara wọn jọ, wọn padà lọ dùbúlẹ̀ sí ihò wọn.
23 And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
Ọkùnrin jáde lọ sí iṣẹ́ wọn, àti sí làálàá rẹ̀ títí di àṣálẹ́.
24 Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].
Iṣẹ́ rẹ ti pọ̀ tó, Olúwa! Nínú ọgbọ́n ni ìwọ ṣe gbogbo wọn: ayé kún fún àwọn ìṣẹ̀dá á rẹ.
25 [We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Òkun yìí tí ó tóbi, tí ó sì ni ìbú, tí ó kún fún àwọn ẹ̀dá alààyè ní ìsàlẹ̀ láìníye ohun alààyè tí tóbi àti kékeré.
26 We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
Níbẹ̀ ni ọkọ̀ ń lọ síwá sẹ́yìn, àti Lefitani, tí ìwọ dá láti ṣe àríyá nínú rẹ̀.
27 All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
Àwọn wọ̀nyí ń wò ọ́ láti fún wọn ní oúnjẹ wọn lákòókò rẹ̀.
28 When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
Nígbà tí ìwọ bá fi fún wọn, wọn yóò kó jọ; nígbà tí ìwọ bá la ọwọ́ rẹ̀, a tẹ́ wọn lọ́rùn pẹ̀lú ohun rere.
29 [But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
Nígbà tí ìwọ bá pa ojú rẹ mọ́ ara kò rọ̀ wọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá mú ẹ̀mí wọn lọ, wọn ó kú, wọn ó sì padà sí erùpẹ̀.
30 When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
Nígbà tí ìwọ rán ẹ̀mí rẹ, ni a dá wọn, ìwọ sì tún ojú ayé ṣe.
31 I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
Jẹ́ kí ògo Olúwa wà pẹ́ títí láé; kí inú Olúwa kí ó dùn ní ti iṣẹ́ rẹ̀,
32 He causes the earth to shake [just] by looking at it! By [merely] touching the mountains he makes/causes them to pour out fire and smoke!
ẹni tí ó wo ayé, tí ó sì wárìrì, ẹni tí ó fọwọ́ tọ́ àwọn òkè, tí wọ́n yọ èéfín.
33 I will sing to Yahweh (as long as I live/throughout my entire life). I will praise my God until the day that I die.
Ní gbogbo ayé mi ní n ó kọrin sí Olúwa: èmi ó kọrin ìyìn sí Olúwa níwọ̀n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè.
34 I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
Jẹ́ kí ẹ̀kọ́ mi kí ó tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn bí mo ti ń yọ̀ nínú Olúwa.
35 [But] I desire that sinners will disappear from the earth, so that there will be no more wicked [people]! [But as for] me, I will praise Yahweh! (Praise him/Hallelujah)!
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ kúrò láyé kí ènìyàn búburú má sì sí mọ́. Yin Olúwa, ìwọ ọkàn mi. Yin Olúwa.
