Psalms 115
1 Yahweh, people should praise [only] you [MTY]; they must praise you, not us, because you faithfully love us and always do what you have promised to do.
Kì í ṣe fún wa, Olúwa kì í ṣe fún wa, ṣùgbọ́n fún orúkọ rẹ ni a fi ògo fún, fún àánú àti òtítọ́ rẹ.
2 It is not right that [RHQ] [other] people-groups should say about us, “[They claim that] their God [is very powerful], but [if that is true], why does he not [help them]?”
Torí kí ni àwọn kèfèrí yóò ṣe sọ pé, níbo ni Ọlọ́run wa wà.
3 Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants to!
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wa wà lọ́run: tí ó ń ṣe èyí tí ó wù ú.
4 [But] their idols are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
Fàdákà òun wúrà ni èrè àwọn aláìkọlà, iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ ènìyàn ni.
5 Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
Wọ́n ní ẹnu, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò le sọ̀rọ̀, wọ́n ní ojú, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ríran.
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything]; they have noses, but they cannot smell [anything].
Wọ́n ní etí, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi gbọ́rọ̀: wọ́n ní imú, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi gbóòórùn.
7 They have hands, but they cannot feel [anything]; they have feet, but they cannot walk, and they have throats but cannot [even] make any sounds!
Wọ́n ní ọwọ́, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò lò ó, wọ́n ní ẹsẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rìn; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò sọ̀rọ̀ nínú òfin wọn.
8 The people who make those idols are [as powerless] as those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish nothing], just like their idols!
Àwọn tí ń ṣe wọ́n dàbí wọn; gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ̀ lé wọn.
9 You, [my fellow] Israeli people, trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
Ìwọ Israẹli gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa: òun ni ìrànwọ́ àti ààbò wọn
10 You priests [MTY], trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
Ẹ̀ yin ilé Aaroni, gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa: òun ni ìrànwọ́ àti ààbò wọn.
11 [All] you who revere Yahweh, trust in him! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
Ẹ̀ yin tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa, gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa: òun ní ìrànwọ́ àti ààbò wọn.
12 Yahweh has not forgotten us; he will bless us Israeli people [MTY]! He will bless the priests,
Olúwa tí ń ṣe ìrántí wa; yóò bùkún ilé Israẹli; yóò bùkún ilé Aaroni.
13 and he will bless [all] those who revere him; he will bless important [people] and people [who are considered to be] unimportant, [everyone!]
Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa, àti kékeré àti ńlá.
14 I desire that Yahweh will give many children to you [my fellow-Israeli people], and to your descendants.
Olúwa yóò mú ọ pọ̀ sí i síwájú àti síwájú, ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
15 I desire that Yahweh, the one who made heaven and the earth, will bless [all of] you!
Ẹ fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa ẹni tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé.
16 The [highest] heavens belong to Yahweh, but he gave [everything that is on] the earth to [us] people.
Ọ̀run àní ọ̀run ni ti Olúwa: ṣùgbọ́n ayé ló fi fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
17 Dead [people] are not [able to] praise Yahweh; when they descend into the place where dead people are, they are unable to speak and cannot praise him.
Òkú kò lè yìn Olúwa, tàbí ẹni tí ó ti lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́.
18 But we [who are alive] will thank/praise him, now and forever. Praise Yahweh!
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa ó fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa láti ìsinsin yìí lọ àti títí láéláé. Ẹ yin Olúwa.
