Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
Fún adarí orin. Tí ohùn orin “àgbọ̀nrín òwúrọ̀.” Saamu ti Dafidi. Ọlọ́run mi, Ọlọ́run mi, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀? Èéṣe tí o fi jìnnà láti gbà mí là, àní sí igbe ìkérora mi?
2 My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
Ọlọ́run mi, ní ọ̀sán gangan ni mo kígbe, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò dá mi ní ohùn: àti ní òru èmi kò dákẹ́.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀ ẹni mímọ́ ni Ìwọ; ẹni tí ó tẹ ìyìn Israẹli dó.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
Àwọn baba ńlá wa ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú rẹ; wọ́n ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé, ìwọ sì gbà wọ́n.
5 When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
Ìwọ ni wọ́n sun ẹkún sí, wọ́n sì ní ìgbàlà; ìwọ ni wọ́n gbẹ́kẹ̀lé, a kò sì dójútì wọ́n.
6 But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
Ṣùgbọ́n kòkòrò ní mo jẹ́, kì í sì í ṣe ènìyàn; mo di ẹlẹ́gàn àwọn ènìyàn, ẹlẹ́yà àwọn ènìyàn.
7 Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
Gbogbo àwọn tí ó rí mí fi mí ṣe ẹlẹ́yà; wọ́n yọ ètè ẹ̀gàn wọn sí mi, wọ́n sì ń mi orí wọn pé.
8 “He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
“Ó gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ̀ lé Olúwa; jẹ́ kí Olúwa gbà á là. Jẹ́ kí ó gbà á là, nítorí pé, ó ní ayọ̀ nínú rẹ̀.”
9 [Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
Síbẹ̀ ìwọ ni ó ti mú mi wá láti inú; ìwọ ni ó mú mi wà láìléwu, nígbà tí mo rọ̀ mọ́ ọmú ìyá mi.
10 [It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
Ìwọ ni a fi mí lé lọ́wọ́ láti inú ìyá mi wá, nígbà tí ìyá mí sì ti bí mi, ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi.
11 So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
Má ṣe jìnnà sí mi, nítorí pé ìyọnu súnmọ́ tòsí kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí yóò ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́.
12 [My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
Ọ̀pọ̀ akọ màlúù yí mi ká; àwọn màlúù alágbára Baṣani rọ̀gbà yí mi ká.
13 [They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
Wọ́n ya ẹnu wọn sì mi bí i kìnnìún tí ń dọdẹ kiri, tí ń ké ramúramù.
14 I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
A dà mí jáde gẹ́gẹ́ bí omi, gbogbo egungun mi ti yẹ̀ kúrò ní oríkèé rẹ̀. Ọkàn mi sì dàbí i ìda; tí ó yọ́ láàrín inú mi.
15 My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
Agbára mí ti gbẹ bí àpáàdì, ahọ́n mí sì tilẹ̀ mọ́ párí ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ ẹ mi; ìwọ ti tẹ́ mi sínú eruku ikú. (questioned)
16 My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
Àwọn ajá yí mi ká; ìjọ àwọn ènìyàn ibi ti ká mi mọ́, wọ́n gún mi lọ́wọ́, wọ́n sì gún mi lẹ́sẹ̀.
17 [I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
Mo lè ka gbogbo àwọn egungun mi; àwọn tìkára wọn ń wò, wọ́n dójú lé mi.
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
Wọ́n pín aṣọ mi láàrín ara wọn àní lórí aṣọ mi ni wọ́n ṣẹ́ gègé.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Olúwa, má ṣe jìnnà sí mi. Háà! Olùrànlọ́wọ́ ọ̀ mi, yára wá fún àtìlẹ́yìn mi!
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
Gba ọkàn mi sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ idà, àní ẹ̀mí mi lọ́wọ́ agbára àwọn ajá.
21 Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
Gba ọkàn mi sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ kìnnìún; kí o sì gbà mí sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ ìwo àgbáǹréré.
22 [But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
Èmi yóò kéde orúkọ rẹ láàrín arákùnrin àti arábìnrin mi; nínú ìjọ ni èmi yóò máa yìn ọ́.
23 You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
Ẹ̀yin tí ẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa, ẹ yìn ín! Gbogbo ẹ̀yin ìran Jakọbu, ẹ fi ògo fún un! Ẹ dìde fún un tẹ̀rù tẹ̀rù, ẹ̀yin irú-ọmọ Israẹli!
24 He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
Nítorí pé òun kò ṣátá, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì kórìíra ìpọ́njú àwọn tí a ni lára; kò sì fi ojú rẹ̀ pamọ́ fún mi ṣùgbọ́n ó gbọ́ nígbà tí mo ké pè é.
25 Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
Láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni ìyìn mi yóò ti wá nínú àjọ ńlá; ẹ̀jẹ́ rẹ̀ ni èmi yóò san níwájú àwọn tí o bẹ̀rù rẹ̀
26 The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
tálákà yóò jẹ yóò sì yó; àwọn tí n wá Olúwa yóò yin jẹ́ kí ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ wà láààyè títí ayérayé!
27 I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
Gbogbo òpin ayé ni yóò rántí wọn yóò sì yípadà sí Olúwa, àti gbogbo ìdílé orílẹ̀-èdè ni wọn yóò jọ́sìn níwájú rẹ̀,
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
nítorí ìjọba ni ti Olúwa. Òun ni ó ń pàṣẹ lórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
29 I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
Bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni gbogbo àwọn olówó ayé wọn yóò ṣe àsè, wọn yóò sì sìn; gbogbo àwọn tí ó wọ inú ilẹ̀ lọ yóò kúnlẹ̀ ní iwájú rẹ̀ àti ẹni tí kò lè pa ọkàn ara rẹ̀ mọ́ ni ààyè.
30 People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
Irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò sìn ín; a ó sọ fún àwọn ìran tí ń bọ̀ nípa Olúwa.
31 People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
Wọn yóò polongo òdodo rẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ tí a kò tí ì bí, wí pé, òun ni ó ṣe èyí.
