Psalms 33
1 You righteous people should sing joyfully to Yahweh because that is what he deserves.
Ẹ yọ̀ nínú Olúwa, ẹ̀yin olódodo; ìyìn si yẹ fún ẹni dídúró ṣinṣin.
2 Praise Yahweh as you play songs on the lyre/harp. Praise him as you play [other] instruments that have many strings.
Ẹ yin Olúwa pẹ̀lú dùùrù; ẹ máa fi ohun èlò olókùn mẹ́wàá kọrin sí i.
3 Sing a new song to him; Play those instruments well, and shout joyfully as you play them!
Ẹ kọ orin tuntun sí i; ẹ máa fi ọgbọọgbọ́n lu ohun èlò orin sí i, pẹ̀lú ariwo.
4 Yahweh always does what he says that he will do; we can trust that everything that he does is right.
Nítorí pé ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa dúró ṣinṣin, gbogbo iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ni à ń ṣe nínú òtítọ́.
5 He loves everything that we do that is just and right. People all over the earth can know that Yahweh faithfully loves us.
Ó fẹ́ òtítọ́ àti ìdájọ́; ilé ayé kún fún ìdúró ṣinṣin àti àánú Olúwa.
6 Yahweh created everything in the sky by commanding it. By what he said [MTY] he created all the stars.
Nípasẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ni a ṣe dá àwọn ọ̀run, àti gbogbo àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ogun wọn nípa ìmísí ẹnu rẹ̀.
7 He gathered all the water into one huge mass like [someone scoops liquid] into a container.
Ó kó àwọn omi òkun jọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí ó wà nínú ìgò; ó sì fi ibú ṣe ilé ìṣúra gbogbo.
8 Everyone on the earth should revere Yahweh [DOU].
Jẹ́ kí gbogbo ayé kí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa: jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn olùgbé ayé kí ó wà nínú ìbẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
9 When he spoke, the world (was created/started to exist). Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.
Nítorí tí ó sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì ti rí bẹ́ẹ̀; ó pàṣẹ ó sì dúró ṣinṣin.
10 Yahweh frustrates the things that the [pagan] nations decide to do. He prevents them from doing the [evil] things that they plan to do.
Olúwa ti mú ìmọ̀ràn àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wá sí asán; ó sì mú àrékérekè àwọn ènìyàn di ṣíṣákì í.
11 But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.
Ìgbìmọ̀ Olúwa dúró títí ayérayé, àní ìrò inú rẹ̀ láti ìrandíran ni.
12 Yahweh blesses those nations who choose him to be their God; He is pleased with those whom he has chosen to receive what he has promised.
Ìbùkún ni fún orílẹ̀-èdè náà, Ọlọ́run ẹni tí Olúwa jẹ́ tirẹ̀, àti àwọn ènìyàn náà tí ó ti yàn ṣe ìní rẹ̀.
13 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;
Olúwa wò láti ọ̀run wá; Ó sì rí gbogbo ìran ènìyàn.
14 from where he rules [MTY], he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.
Níbi tí ó ti jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Ó wo gbogbo àwọn olùgbé ayé
15 He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.
ẹni tí ó ṣe àyà wọn bákan náà, ó sì kíyèsi ìṣe wọn.
16 It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win [battles], and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat [his enemy].
A kò gba ọba kan là nípasẹ̀ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ọmọ-ogun; kò sì sí jagunjagun tí a gbà sílẹ̀ nípa agbára ńlá rẹ̀.
17 It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.
Ohun asán ni ẹṣin fún ìṣẹ́gun; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò fi agbára ńlá rẹ̀ gbani sílẹ̀.
18 Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.
Wò ó, ojú Olúwa wà lára àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, àti lára àwọn tí ó ní ìrètí nínú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó dúró ṣinṣin.
19 He saves them [SYN] from dying [before they should die] and preserves them when there is a famine.
Láti gba ọkàn wọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ ikú àti láti pa wọ́n mọ́ láààyè lọ́wọ́ ìyàn.
20 We trust that Yahweh will help us; he protects us like a shield protects a soldier [MET].
Ọkàn wa dúró de Olúwa; òun ni ìrànlọ́wọ́ wa àti asà wa.
21 We rejoice because of what he [has done for us]; we trust in him because he [MTY] is holy.
Ọkàn wa yọ̀ nínú rẹ̀, nítorí pé, àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé orúkọ rẹ mímọ́.
22 Yahweh, we pray that you will always faithfully love us while we confidently expect you [to do great things for us].
Kí àánú rẹ, Olúwa, kí ó wà lára wa, àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa ti ń ṣe ìrètí nínú rẹ.
