< Psalms 97 >
1 Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
Olúwa jẹ ọba, jẹ́ kí ayé kí ó yọ̀ jẹ́ kí inú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ erékùṣù kí ó dùn.
2 There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
Ojú ọ̀run àti òkùnkùn yíká òdodo àti ìdájọ́ ni ó ṣe ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìtẹ́ rẹ̀.
3 He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
Iná ń jó níwájú rẹ̀. Ó sì ń jó àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ yíkákiri.
4 All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
Ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ tàn ó sì kárí ayé ayé rí i ó sì wárìrì.
5 The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
Òkè gíga yọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìda níwájú Olúwa, níwájú Olúwa gbogbo ayé.
6 The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
Àwọn ọ̀run ròyìn òdodo rẹ̀, gbogbo ènìyàn sì rí ògo rẹ̀.
7 Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
Gbogbo àwọn tí ń sin ère fínfín ni ojú yóò tì, àwọn tí ń fi ère gbéraga, ẹ máa sìn ín, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ọlọ́run!
8 [The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
Sioni gbọ́, inú rẹ̀ sì dùn inú àwọn ilé Juda sì dùn, nítorí ìdájọ́ rẹ, Olúwa.
9 Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
Nítorí pé ìwọ, Olúwa, ni ó ga ju gbogbo ayé lọ ìwọ ni ó ga ju gbogbo òrìṣà lọ.
10 Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
Jẹ kí gbogbo àwọn tí ó fẹ́ Olúwa, kórìíra ibi, ó pa ọkàn àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ ó gbà wọ́n ní ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú.
11 His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
Ìmọ́lẹ̀ tàn sórí àwọn olódodo àti ayọ̀ nínú àlàyé ọkàn.
12 You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
Ẹ yọ̀ nínú Olúwa, ẹ̀yin tí ẹ jẹ́ olódodo, kí ẹ sì yin orúkọ rẹ̀ mímọ́.
