Psalms 88
1 Yahweh God, you who rescues me, all during each day I call out [to you] to help me, and I cry out to you during each night also.
Orin. Saamu ti àwọn ọmọ Kora. Fún adarí orin. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti mahalati leannoti. Maskili ti Hemani ará Esra. Olúwa, Ọlọ́run tí ó gbà mí là, ní ọ̀sán àti ní òru, mo kígbe sókè sí Ọ.
2 Listen [IDM] to my prayer [DOU], while I cry out to you [for help]!
Jẹ́ kí àdúrà mi kí ó wá sí iwájú rẹ; dẹ etí rẹ sí igbe mi.
3 I have experienced many troubles/difficulties, and I am about to die [MTY] and go where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Nítorí ọkàn mi kún fún ìpọ́njú ọkàn mi sì súnmọ́ isà òkú. (Sheol h7585)
4 Because I have no more strength, [other people also] consider that I will soon die.
A kà mí mọ́ àwọn tí wọ́n lọ sí ọ̀gbun ilẹ̀ èmi dàbí ọkùnrin tí kò ni agbára.
5 I am like a corpse that has been abandoned; I am like dead people who lie in their graves, people who have been completely forgotten, because you do not take care of them any more.
A yà mí sọ́tọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn òkú bí ẹni tí a pa tí ó dùbúlẹ̀ ní ipò ikú, ẹni tí ìwọ kò rántí mọ́, ẹni tí a gé kúrò lára àwọn tí ìwọ ń tọ́jú.
6 [It is as though] you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.
Ìwọ tí ó fi mí sí kòtò jíjìn, ní ibi ọ̀gbun tó ṣókùnkùn.
7 [It seems like] you are very angry with me, and [it is as though] you have crushed me like [ocean] waves [crash down on people] [MET].
Ìbínú rẹ ṣubú lé mi gidigidi; ìwọ ti fi àwọn ìjì rẹ borí mi.
8 You have caused my friends to (avoid/stay away from) me; I have become repulsive to them. [It is as though] I am in a prison and cannot escape.
Ìwọ tí gba ọ̀rẹ́ mi tí ó súnmọ́ mi kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi ìwọ sì sọ mi di ìríra sí wọn. A há mi mọ́, èmi kò sì le è jáde;
9 My eyes cannot see well because I cry very much. Yahweh, every day I call out to you [to help me]; I lift up my hands to you [while I pray].
ojú mi káàánú nítorí ìpọ́njú. Mo kígbe pè ọ́, Olúwa, ní gbogbo ọjọ́; mo na ọwọ́ mi jáde sí ọ.
10 You certainly do not [RHQ] perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not [RHQ] arise to praise you!
Ìwọ ó fi iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ hàn fún òkú bi? Àwọn òkú yóò ha dìde láti yìn ọ́ bí?
11 Corpses in the grave certainly do not tell about your faithfully loving us [RHQ], and in the place where people are finally destroyed, no one tells about what you faithfully [do for us] [RHQ].
A ó ha fi ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ hàn ní ibojì bí, tàbí òtítọ́ rẹ ní ipò ìparun?
12 No one in the deep dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform [RHQ], and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.
A ha lè mọ iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ ní òkùnkùn bí àti òdodo rẹ ní ilẹ̀ ìgbàgbé?
13 But [as for me], Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; each morning I pray to you.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo kígbe sí ọ fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, Olúwa; ní òwúrọ̀ ni àdúrà mí wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ.
14 Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?
Olúwa, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi kọ̀ mí tí ìwọ fi ojú rẹ pamọ́ fún mi?
15 All the time since I was young, I have suffered and have often almost died; I am (in despair/very discouraged) because of enduring the terrible things that you have done to me.
Láti ìgbà èwe mi, ìṣẹ́ ń ṣẹ́ mi, èmi múra àti kú; nígbà tí ẹ̀rù rẹ bá ń bà mí, èmi di gbére-gbère.
16 [I feel that] you have crushed me because of your being angry with me; the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.
Ìbínú rẹ ti kọjá lára mi; ìbẹ̀rù rẹ ti gé mi kúrò.
17 [I feel as though] they surround me like a flood [SIM]; they are (closing in on/crushing) me from all sides.
Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ni wọn yí mi ká bí ìkún omi; wọ́n mù mí pátápátá.
18 You have caused [even] my friends and others whom I love to avoid me, and [it is as though] the only friend that I have is darkness.
Ìwọ ti mú ọ̀rẹ́ àti olùfẹ́ mi kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi; òkùnkùn sì jẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́ tímọ́tímọ́ mi.
