Psalms 91
1 Those who live under the protection of God Almighty, will be able to rest [safely] under his care.
Ẹni tí ó gbé ibi ìkọ̀kọ̀ Ọ̀gá-ògo ni yóò sinmi ní ibi òjìji Olódùmarè.
2 I will declare to Yahweh, “You protect me; [you are like] a fort [MET] in which I am safe. You are my God, the one in whom I trust.”
Èmi yóò sọ nípa ti Olúwa pé, “Òun ni ààbò àti odi mi, Ọlọ́run mi, ẹni tí èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé”.
3 Yahweh will rescue you from all hidden traps and save you from deadly diseases.
Nítòótọ́ òun yóò gbà mí nínú ìdẹ̀kùn àwọn pẹyẹpẹyẹ àti nínú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn búburú.
4 He will shield/protect you [like a bird shields/protects its chicks] [MET] with/under her wings. You will be safe (in his care/because he takes care of you). His faithfully doing what he has promised is like a shield [MET] that will protect you.
Òun yóò fi ìyẹ́ rẹ̀ bò mí, àti ni abẹ́ ìyẹ́ rẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti rí ààbò; òtítọ́ rẹ̀ ni yóò ṣe ààbò àti odi mi.
5 You will not be afraid of things that happen during the night that could (terrorize you/cause you to be very afraid), or of arrows that [your enemies will shoot at you] during the day.
Ìwọ kì yóò bẹ̀rù nítorí ẹ̀rù òru, tàbí fún ọfà tí ń fò ní ọ̀sán,
6 You will not be afraid of (plagues/widespread sicknesses) that demons cause when they attack people at night, or of other [evil forces] that kill people at midday.
tàbí fún àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn tí ń rìn kiri ní òkùnkùn, tàbí fún ìparun tí ń rìn kiri ní ọ̀sán gangan.
7 Even if 1,000 people fall [dead] alongside you, even if 10,000 [people are dying] around you, you will not be harmed.
Ẹgbẹ̀rún yóò ṣubú ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ, ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.
8 Look and see that (wicked people are being punished/God is punishing wicked people)!
Ìwọ yóò máa wò ó pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ àti wo ìjìyà àwọn ẹni búburú.
9 If you allow Yahweh to protect you, if you trust God Almighty to (shelter/take care of) you,
Nítorí ìwọ fi Olúwa ṣe ààbò rẹ, ìwọ fi Ọ̀gá-ògo ṣe ibùgbé rẹ.
10 nothing evil will happen to you; no plague will come near your house,
Búburú kan ki yóò ṣubú lù ọ́, Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ààrùnkárùn kì yóò súnmọ́ ilé rẹ.
11 because Yahweh will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.
Nítorí yóò fi àṣẹ fún àwọn angẹli nípa tìrẹ láti pa ọ́ mọ́ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ;
12 They will hold you up with their hands, with the result that you will not hurt your foot on a big stone.
wọn yóò gbé ọ sókè ní ọwọ́ wọn, nítorí kí ìwọ má ba à fi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ gún òkúta.
13 You will be [kept safe from being harmed by your enemies] [MET]; [it will be as though] you are stepping on lions and poisonous snakes [without them harming you!]
Ìwọ yóò rìn lórí kìnnìún àti paramọ́lẹ̀; ìwọ yóò tẹ kìnnìún ńlá àti ejò ńlá ni ìwọ yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.
14 [Yahweh says], “I will rescue those who love me, I will protect them because they (acknowledge that I am Yahweh/know me).
“Nítorí ti ìfẹ́ rẹ sí mi, èmi yóò gbà ọ́; èmi yóò pa ọ́ mọ́, nítorí ìwọ jẹ́wọ́ orúkọ mi.
15 When they call out to me, I will answer them. I will help them when they are experiencing trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.
Òun yóò pè mí, èmi yóò sì dá a lóhùn; èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú ìpọ́njú, èmi yóò gbà á, èmi yóò sì bu ọlá fún un.
16 I will reward them by enabling them to live a long time, and I will save them.”
Pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí gígùn ni èmi yóò fi tẹ́ ẹ lọ́rùn, èmi yóò sì fi ìgbàlà mi hàn án.”
