Psalms 73
1 A psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those with a pure heart.
Saamu ti Asafu. Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run dára fún Israẹli, fún àwọn ọlọ́kàn funfun.
2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped; my feet almost slipped out from under me
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti èmi, ẹsẹ̀ mi ti yẹ̀ tán; ìrìn mi fẹ́rẹ̀ yọ̀ tán.
3 because I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Nítorí èmi ń ṣe ìlara àwọn tó ń ṣe féfé nígbà tí mo bá rí àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn búburú.
4 For they have no pain until their death, but they are strong and well fed.
Wọn kò ṣe wàhálà; ara wọn mókun wọn sì lágbára.
5 They are free from the burdens of other men; they are not afflicted like other men.
Wọn kò ní ìpín nínú àjàgà tó ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ènìyàn; a kò pọ́n wọn lójú nípa ẹlòmíràn.
6 Pride adorns them like a necklace around their neck; violence clothes them like a robe.
Ìgbéraga ni ọ̀ṣọ́ ọrùn wọn; ìwà ipá bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ bí aṣọ.
7 Out of such blindness comes sin; evil thoughts pass through their hearts.
Láti inú ọkàn àrékérekè ni àìṣòdodo ti wá; ẹ̀rí ọkàn búburú wọn kò ní òdínwọ̀n.
8 They mock and speak wickedly; in their arrogance they threaten oppression.
Wọn ń ṣẹ̀sín, wọn sì ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì ní ti ìnilára, wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ láti ibi gíga.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongues march through the earth.
Wọ́n ń gbé ẹ̀mí wọn lé ọ̀run ahọ́n wọn gba ipò ayé.
10 Therefore his people turn to them and abundant waters are drained out.
Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn wọn yípadà sí wọn wọ́n sì mu omi ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
11 They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge with the Most High?”
Wọ́n wí pé, “Báwo ni Ọlọ́run yóò ṣe mọ̀? Ọ̀gá-ògo ha ní ìmọ̀ bí?”
12 Take notice: these people are wicked; they are always carefree, becoming richer and richer.
Bí àwọn ènìyàn búburú ṣe rí nìyí, ènìyàn asán, wọ́n ń pọ̀ ní ọrọ̀.
13 Surely it is in vain that I have guarded my heart and washed my hands in innocence.
Nítòótọ́ nínú asán ni mo pa ọkàn mi mọ́; nínú asán ni mo wẹ ọwọ́ mi ní àìlẹ́ṣẹ̀.
14 For all the day long I have been afflicted and disciplined every morning.
Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ni a ń yọ mí lẹ́nu; a sì ń jẹ mí ní yà ní gbogbo òwúrọ̀.
15 If I had said, “I will say these things,” then I would have betrayed this generation of your children.
Bí mo bá wí pé, “Èmi ó wí báyìí,” èmi ó ṣẹ̀ sí ìran àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
16 Though I tried to understand these things, it was too difficult for me.
Nígbà tí mo gbìyànjú láti mọ èyí, Ó jẹ́ ìnilára fún mi,
17 Then I went into God's sanctuary and came to understand their fate.
títí mo fi wọ ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run; nígbà náà ni òye ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn yé mi.
18 Surely you put them in slippery places; you bring them down to ruin.
Lóòtítọ́ ìwọ gbé wọn lórí ilẹ̀ yíyọ́ ìwọ jù wọ́n sílẹ̀ sínú ìparun.
19 How they become a wilderness in a moment! They come to an end and are finished in awful terrors.
Báwo ní a ti mú wọn lọ sínú ìdahoro yìí bí ẹni pé ní ìṣẹ́jú kan! Ìbẹ̀rù ni a fi ń run wọ́n pátápátá!
20 They are like a dream after one wakes up; Lord, when you arise, you will think nothing of those dreams.
Bí àlá nígbà tí ènìyàn bá jí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà tí ìwọ bá dìde, Olúwa, ìwọ yóò ṣe àbùkù àwòrán wọn.
21 For my heart was grieved, and I was deeply wounded.
Nígbà tí inú mi bàjẹ́ àti ọkàn mi ṣì korò,
22 I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was like a senseless animal before you.
mo jẹ́ aṣiwèrè àti aláìlóye; mo jẹ́ ẹranko ní iwájú rẹ.
23 Yet I am always with you; you hold my right hand.
Síbẹ̀ mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nígbà gbogbo; ìwọ di ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi mú.
24 You will guide me with your advice and afterward receive me to glory.
Ìwọ fi ìmọ̀ràn rẹ tọ́ mi ní ìkẹyìn ìwọ ó mú mi lọ sí inú ògo.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? There is no one on earth that I desire but you.
Ta ni mo ní ní ọ̀run, bí kò ṣe ìwọ? Àti ní ayé kò sí ohun tí mo fẹ́ lẹ́yìn rẹ.
26 My flesh and my heart grow weak, but God is the strength of my heart forever.
Ara mi àti ọkàn mi le è kùnà ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ni agbára ẹ̀mí mi àti ìpín mi títí láé.
27 Those who are far from you will perish; you will destroy all those who are unfaithful to you.
Àwọn tí ó jìnnà sí ọ yóò ṣègbé ìwọ ti pa gbogbo wọn run; tí ń ṣe àgbèrè kiri kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.
28 But as for me, all I need to do is to approach God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge. I will declare all your deeds.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti èmi, ó dára láti súnmọ́ Ọlọ́run. Èmi ti fi Olúwa Olódùmarè ṣe ààbò mi; kí èmi ó lè máa sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ.
