Psalms 118
1 Tell Yahweh that you thank him very much for the good [things that he has done for you] He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever.
Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó dára; àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
2 You Israeli [people] should [repeatedly] shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Jẹ́ kí Israẹli wí pé: “Àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé”.
3 You [priests] who are descendants of Aaron should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves us, his people, forever!”
Jẹ́ kí ilé Aaroni wí pé: “Àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé”.
4 All you who revere him should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Jẹ́ kí àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa wí pé: “Àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.”
5 When I was distressed, I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me and set me free [from my worries/troubles].
Nínú ìrora mi, mo sọkún sí Olúwa, ó sì dá mi lóhùn nípa pé ó tú mi sílẹ̀.
6 Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), so I will not be afraid [of anything]. No one [RHQ] can do anything that will [prevent God from blessing] me forever.
Olúwa ń bẹ fún èmi; èmi kì yóò bẹ̀rù. Kí ni ènìyàn lè ṣe sí mi?
7 [Yes], Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), [so] I will look triumphantly at my enemies [while he defeats them].
Olúwa ń bẹ fún mi; òun ni olùrànlọ́wọ́ mi. Nítorí náà ni èmi ó ṣe rí ìṣẹ́gun mi lórí àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi.
8 It is better to trust in Yahweh than to (depend on/trust in) people.
Ó dára láti máa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa ju àti gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ènìyàn lọ.
9 It is better to trust Yahweh to protect [us] than to trust [that influential/important] people [will protect us].
Ó dára láti máa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa ju à ti gbẹ́kẹ̀lé àwọn ọmọ-aládé lọ.
10 Armies of [MTY] many nations surrounded me, [but] Yahweh enabled me to defeat them by his power [MTY].
Gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yí mi káàkiri, ṣùgbọ́n ní orúkọ Olúwa èmi gé wọn kúrò.
11 They completely surrounded me, [but] I defeated them all by the power of Yahweh.
Wọ́n yí mi káàkiri ní gbogbo ẹ̀gbẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n ní orúkọ Olúwa èmi gé wọn dànù.
12 They swarmed around me like [angry] bees; they were like a fire that blazes strongly, but only briefly, in a thornbush, [but] I defeated them by the power [MTY] that Yahweh gave me.
Wọ́n gbá yìn ìn yí mi ká bí oyin, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n kú kíákíá bí iná ẹ̀gún; ní orúkọ Olúwa èmi ké wọn dànù.
13 [My enemies] attacked me fiercely and almost defeated me, but Yahweh helped me.
Ìwọ tì mí gidigidi kí n lè ṣubú, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ràn mí lọ́wọ́.
14 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one about whom I [always] sing; he has saved me [from my enemies].
Olúwa ni agbára àti orin mi; ó sì di ìgbàlà mi.
15 Listen to the joyful songs of victory being sung in the tents of godly/righteous people! They sing, “Yahweh has defeated our enemies by his mighty power [MTY];
Ohùn ayọ̀ àti ìgbàlà ń bẹ nínú àgọ́ àwọn olódodo: “Ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Olúwa ń ṣe ohun agbára!
16 he has raised his strong right arm [to show he has defeated his enemies]. Yahweh has completely defeated them!”
Ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Olúwa ní a gbéga; ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Olúwa ń ṣe ohun agbára!”
17 I will not be killed [in battle]; I will live to proclaim the great things that Yahweh has done.
Èmi kì yóò kú, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò yè, èmi yóò pòkìkí ohun tí Olúwa ṣe.
18 Yahweh has punished me severely, but he has not allowed (me to die/[my enemies] to kill me).
Olúwa bá mi wí gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò fi mí lé ikú lọ́wọ́.
19 [You gatekeepers], open for me the gates of the temple in order that I may enter and thank Yahweh.
Ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu-ọ̀nà òdodo fún mi: èmi yóò bá ibẹ̀ wọlé, èmi yóò sì fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa.
20 Those are the gates [through which we enter the temple to worship] Yahweh; godly/righteous people enter those gates.
Èyí ni ìlẹ̀kùn Olúwa ibẹ̀ ni àwọn olódodo yóò bá wọlé.
21 [Yahweh], I thank you that you answered my prayer, and you saved me [from my enemies].
Èmi yóò fi ọpẹ́ fún ọ, nítorí ó dá mi lóhùn; ìwọ sì di ìgbàlà mi.
22 [Yahweh’s promised/chosen king is like] [MET] the stone which the builders rejected [when they were building a house], [but that stone] became the (cornerstone/most important stone in the building).
Òkúta tí àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé kọ̀sílẹ̀, ni ó di pàtàkì igun ilé;
23 (This was done by Yahweh/Yahweh has done this), and it is a wonderful thing for us to see.
Olúwa ti ṣe èyí, ó ṣe ìyanu ní ojú wa.
24 This is the day in which [we remember that] Yahweh acted [powerfully to defeat our enemies]; we will rejoice and be glad/happy today.
Èyí ni ọjọ́ tí Olúwa dá: ẹ jẹ́ kí ayọ̀ kí inú wa sì máa dùn nínú rẹ̀.
25 Yahweh, we plead with you to [keep] rescuing us [from our enemies]. Yahweh, please help us (accomplish/do well) [what we want to do].
Olúwa, gbà wá; Olúwa, fún wa ní àlàáfíà.
26 Yahweh, bless the one who will come with your authority [MTY]. And from the temple we (bless/[ask Yahweh to] bless) all of you.
Ìbùkún ni ẹni tí ń bọ̀ wá ní orúkọ Olúwa. Àwa ti fi ìbùkún fún ọ láti ilé Olúwa wá.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has caused his light to shine on us. Come, carrying [palm] branches, and join the people [who are starting] the festival as they go to the altar.
Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run, ó ti mú ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ tàn sí wa lára pẹ̀lú ẹ̀ka igi ní ọwọ́, ó dára pọ̀ mọ́ ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tí ń wọ́ nínú ayọ̀ ẹ fi okùn di ẹbọ náà mọ́ ìwo pẹpẹ.
28 [Yahweh], you are the God whom I [worship], and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will tell [everyone] that you are great!
Ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi, èmi yóò máa fi ọpẹ́ fún ọ; ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi, èmi yóò gbé ọ ga.
29 Thank Yahweh, because he does good things [for us] He will faithfully love [us] forever.
Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó ṣeun; nítorí tí àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
