Psalms 78
1 A maschil of Asaph. Hear my teaching, my people, listen to the words of my mouth.
Maskili ti Asafu. Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, ẹ gbọ́ ẹ̀kọ́ mi; tẹ́tí rẹ sí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi.
2 I will open my mouth in parables; I will sing about hidden things about the past.
Èmi ó la ẹnu mi ní òwe, èmi o sọ ohun ìkọ̀kọ̀, ohun ti ọjọ́ pípẹ́;
3 These are things that we have heard and learned, things that our ancestors have told us.
ohun tí a ti gbọ́ tí a sì ti mọ̀, ohun tí àwọn baba wa ti sọ fún wa.
4 We will not keep them from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the praiseworthy deeds of Yahweh, his strength, and the wonders that he has done.
Àwa kì yóò pa wọ́n mọ́ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ, ní fífi ìyìn Olúwa, àti ipa rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu tó ti ṣe hàn fún ìran tí ń bọ̀.
5 For he established covenant decrees in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors that they were to teach them to their children.
Ó gbé ẹ̀rí kalẹ̀ ní Jakọbu o sì fìdí àṣẹ múlẹ̀ ní Israẹli, èyí tí ó pàṣẹ fún àwọn baba ńlá wa láti kọ́ àwọn ọmọ wọn,
6 He commanded this so that the generation to come might know his decrees, the children not yet born, who should tell them in turn to their own children.
nítorí náà, àwọn ìran tí ń bọ̀ yóò mọ̀ wọ́n bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ tí a kò tí ì bí tí yóò dìde tí wọn yóò sọ fún àwọn ọmọ wọn.
7 Then they would place their hope in God and not forget his deeds but keep his commandments.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n ò fi ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé wọn sínú Ọlọ́run wọn kò sì ní gbàgbé iṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run ṣùgbọ́n wọn ó pa àṣẹ rẹ̀ mọ́.
8 Then they would not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose hearts were not right, and whose spirits were not committed and faithful to God.
Kí wọn kí ó má ṣe dàbí àwọn baba ńlá wọn, ìran alágídí àti ọlọ́tẹ̀, ìran tí ọkàn wọn kò ṣọ òtítọ́ si olóore, àti ẹ̀mí ẹni tí kò bá Ọlọ́run dúró ṣinṣin.
9 The Ephraimites were armed with bows, but they turned back on the day of battle.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Efraimu, tí ó há mọ́ ọ tí wọ́n mú ọrun, wọ́n yípadà ní ọjọ́ ogun
10 They did not keep the covenant with God, and they refused to obey his law.
Wọn kò pa májẹ̀mú Ọlọ́run mọ́ wọn sì kọ̀ láti máa gbé nínú òfin rẹ̀.
11 They forgot his deeds, the wonderful things that he had shown them.
Wọ́n gbàgbé ohun tí ó ti ṣe, àwọn ìyanu tí ó ti fihàn wọ́n.
12 They forgot the marvelous things he did in the sight of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, in the land of Zoan.
Ó ṣe ìyanu níwájú àwọn baba wọn ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ní agbègbè Ṣoani.
13 He divided the sea and led them across it; he made the waters to stand like walls.
Ó pín òkun ní yà, ó sì mú wọn kọjá Ó mù kí omi náà dúró bi odi gíga.
14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud and all the night with the light of fire.
Ní ọ̀sán, ó fi ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ ṣe amọ̀nà wọn àti ní gbogbo òru pẹ̀lú ìmọ́lẹ̀ iná.
15 He split the rocks in the wilderness, and he gave them water abundantly, enough to fill the depths of the sea.
Ó sán àpáta ní aginjù ó sì fún wọn ní omi mímu lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ bí ẹni pé láti inú ibú wá.
16 He made streams flow out of the rock and made the water flow like rivers.
Ó mú ìṣàn omi jáde láti inú àpáta omi ṣíṣàn sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí odò.
17 Yet they continued to sin against him, rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
Wọ́n sì tún tẹ̀síwájú láti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí i ní ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Ọ̀gá-ògo ní aginjù.
18 They challenged God in their hearts by asking for food to satisfy their appetites.
Wọ́n mọ̀ ọ́n mọ̀ dán Ọlọ́run wò nípa bíbéèrè fún oúnjẹ tí wọn bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún.
19 They spoke against God; they said, “Can God really lay out a table for us in the wilderness?
Wọ́n sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọlọ́run, wí pé “Ọlọ́run ha lè tẹ́ tábìlì ní aginjù?
20 See, when he struck the rock, waters gushed out and streams overflowed. But can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”
Nígbà tí ó lu àpáta, omi tú jáde, odò sì sàn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n òun ha lè fún wa lóúnjẹ ó ha le pèsè ẹran fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀?”
21 When Yahweh heard this, he was angry; so his fire burned against Jacob, and his anger attacked Israel,
Nígbà tí Olúwa gbọ́ wọn, ó bínú gidigidi; iná rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí Jakọbu, ìbínú rẹ̀ sì rú sí Israẹli,
22 because they did not believe in God and did not trust in his salvation.
nítorí wọn kò gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́, wọn kò sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ìgbàlà rẹ̀.
23 Yet he commanded the skies above and opened the doors of the sky.
Síbẹ̀ ó pàṣẹ fún ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run, ó sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn ọ̀run sílẹ̀;
24 He rained down manna for them to eat, and gave them the grain from heaven.
Ó rọ manna fún àwọn ènìyàn láti jẹ, ó fún wọn ní ọkà láti ọ̀run.
25 People ate the bread of angels. He sent them food in abundance.
Àwọn ènìyàn jẹ oúnjẹ àwọn angẹli; Ó fún wọn ní oúnjẹ ní àjẹyó,
26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky, and by his power he guided the south wind.
Ó mú afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn láti ọ̀run wá ó mú afẹ́fẹ́ gúúsù wá nípa agbára rẹ̀.
27 He rained down meat on them like dust, birds as numerous as the sands of the sea.
Ó rọ òjò ẹran sílẹ̀ sórí wọn bí erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, àti ẹyẹ abìyẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí iyanrìn etí òkun
28 They fell in the middle of their camp, all around their tents.
Ó jẹ́ kí wọn jáde ní ibùdó wọn, yíká àgọ́ wọn.
29 So they ate and were full. He gave them what they craved.
Wọ́n jẹ, wọ́n sì yó jọjọ nítorí ó ti fún wọn ní ohun tí wọn fìtara bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún.
30 But they had not yet filled up; their food was still in their mouths.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò kúrò nínú oúnjẹ tí wọn fìtara bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún, nígbà tí oúnjẹ wọn sì wà ní ẹnu wọn,
31 Then God's anger attacked them and killed the strongest of them. He brought down the young men of Israel.
ìbínú Ọlọ́run dìde sí wọn ó pa àwọn tí ó jùlọ nínú wọn, ó sì lu àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin Israẹli bolẹ̀.
32 Despite this, they continued to sin and did not believe his wonderful deeds.
Nínú gbogbo ìwọ̀nyí, wọ́n ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ síwájú; nínú gbogbo iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀, wọ́n kò gbàgbọ́.
33 Therefore God cut short their days; their years were filled with terror.
O fi òpin sí ayé wọn nínú asán àti ọdún wọn nínú ìpayà.
34 Whenever God afflicted them, they would start to seek him, and they would return and look earnestly for him.
Nígbàkígbà tí Ọlọ́run bá pa wọ́n, wọn yóò wá a kiri; wọn yóò fi ìtara yípadà sí i.
35 They would call to mind that God was their rock and that the Most High God was their rescuer.
Wọ́n rántí pé Ọlọ́run ní àpáta wọn; wí pé Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ ni olùràpadà àpáta wọn.
36 But they would flatter him with their mouth and lie to him with their words.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà náà ni wọ́n yóò pọ́n ọn pẹ̀lú ẹnu wọ́n wọ́n fi ahọ́n wọ́n purọ́ fún un;
37 For their hearts were not firmly fixed on him, and they were not faithful to his covenant.
ọkàn wọn kò sòtítọ́ sí i, wọn kò jẹ́ olódodo sí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀.
38 Yet he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. Yes, many times he held back his anger and did not stir up all his wrath.
Síbẹ̀ ó ṣàánú; ó dárí àìṣedéédéé wọn jì òun kò sì pa wọ́n run nígbà púpọ̀ ló ń yí ìbínú rẹ̀ padà kò sì ru ìbínú rẹ̀ sókè
39 He called to mind that they were made of flesh, a wind that passes away and does not return.
Ó rántí pé ẹlẹ́ran ara ni wọ́n, afẹ́fẹ́ tó ń kọjá tí kò lè padà.
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the barren regions!
Nígbà gbogbo ní wọn ń ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí i ní aginjù wọn mú un bínú nínú ilẹ̀ tí ó di ahoro!
41 Again and again they challenged God and offended the Holy One of Israel.
Síwájú àti síwájú wọ́n dán Ọlọ́run wò; wọ́n mú ẹni mímọ́ Israẹli bínú.
42 They did not think about his power, how he had rescued them from the enemy
Wọ́n kò rántí agbára rẹ̀: ní ọjọ́ tí ó rà wọ́n padà lọ́wọ́ àwọn aninilára,
43 when he performed his terrifying signs in Egypt and his wonders in the region of Zoan.
ní ọjọ́ tí ó fi iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ hàn ní Ejibiti, àti iṣẹ́ àmì rẹ̀ ni ẹkùn Ṣoani
44 He turned the Egyptians' rivers to blood so that they could not drink from their streams.
Ó sọ omi wọn di ẹ̀jẹ̀; wọn kò lè mu láti odò wọn.
45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them and frogs that overran their land.
Ó rán ọ̀wọ́ eṣinṣin láti pa wọ́n run, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ tí ó bá wọn jẹun.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper and their labor to the locust.
Ó fi ọkà wọn fún láńtata, àwọn ìre oko wọn fún eṣú.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with more hail.
Ó fi yìnyín ba àjàrà wọn jẹ́ ó bá èso sikamore wọn jẹ́.
48 He rained hail on their cattle and hurled lightning bolts at their livestock.
Ó fi ohun ọ̀sìn wọn fún yìnyín, agbo ẹran wọn fún mọ̀nàmọ́ná.
49 The fierceness of his anger lashed out against them. He sent wrath, fury, and trouble like agents who bring disaster.
Ó mú kíkorò ìbínú rẹ̀ wá sí wọn lára, ìrunú àti ìkáàánú, àti ìpọ́njú, nípa rírán angẹli apanirun sí wọn.
50 He leveled a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death but gave them over to the plague.
Ó pèsè ipa fún ìbínú rẹ̀, òun kò gbà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ ikú, ṣùgbọ́n ó fi ẹ̀mí wọ́n fún àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn.
51 He killed all the firstborn in Egypt, the firstborn of their strength in the tents of Ham.
Ó kọlu àwọn àkọ́bí ọmọ ọkùnrin Ejibiti, olórí agbára wọn nínú àgọ́ Hamu.
52 He led his own people out like sheep and guided them through the wilderness like a flock.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó mú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ jáde bí ọ̀wọ́ ẹran; ó ṣọ́ wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí àgùntàn nínú aginjù.
53 He led them secure and unafraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
Ó dáàbò bò wọ́n dáradára, nítorí náà ni ẹ̀rù kò ṣe bà wọ́n ṣùgbọ́n òkun padé mọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wọn.
54 Then he brought them to the border of his holy land, to this mountain that his right hand acquired.
Bákan náà ni ó mú wọn wá sí etí ilẹ̀ mímọ́ rẹ̀ òkè tí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ ti gbà
55 He drove out the nations from before them and assigned them their inheritance. He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
Ó lé kèfèrí jáde níwájú wọn ó sì fi títa okùn pín ilẹ̀ náà fún wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilẹ̀ ìní; ó mú àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli jókòó ní ilẹ̀ wọn.
56 Yet they challenged and defied the Most High God and did not keep his solemn commands.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn dán Ọlọ́run wò wọn sì ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Ọ̀gá-ògo; wọn kò pa àṣẹ rẹ̀ mọ́.
57 They were unfaithful and acted treacherously like their fathers; they were as undependable as a faulty bow.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n yípadà, wọn jẹ́ aláìṣòdodo gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn baba wọn wọ́n sì pẹ̀yìndà sí apákan bí ọrun ẹ̀tàn.
58 For they made him angry with their high places and provoked him to jealous anger with their idols.
Wọ́n bí i nínú pẹ̀lú ibi gíga wọn; wọn rú owú rẹ̀ sókè nípa òrìṣà wọn.
59 When God heard this, he was angry and completely rejected Israel.
Nígbà tí Ọlọ́run gbọ́ wọn, inú bí i gidigidi; ó kọ Israẹli pátápátá.
60 He abandoned the sanctuary of Shiloh, the tent where he had lived among people.
Ó kọ àgọ́ Ṣilo sílẹ̀, àgọ́ tí ó ti gbé kalẹ̀ láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
61 He allowed his strength to be captured and gave his glory into the enemy's hand.
Ó rán àpótí ẹ̀rí, agbára rẹ̀ lọ sí ìgbèkùn, dídán ògo rẹ̀ lọ sí ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá.
62 He handed his people over to the sword, and he was angry with his heritage.
Ó fi àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ lé idà lọ́wọ́, ó sì bínú sí àwọn ohun ìní rẹ̀.
63 Fire devoured their young men, and their young women had no wedding songs.
Iná run àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin wọn, àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn kò sì ní orin ìgbéyàwó:
64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows could not weep.
àfi àlùfáà wọn fún idà, àwọn opó wọn kò sì le è sọkún.
65 Then the Lord awakened as one from sleep, like a warrior who shouts because of wine.
Olúwa sì jí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni ojú oorun, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkùnrin ti i jí kúrò nínú ìraníyè ọtí.
66 He drove his adversaries back; he put them to everlasting shame.
Ó kọlu àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ padà; ó fi wọn sínú ìtìjú ayérayé.
67 He rejected the tent of Joseph, and he did not chose the tribe of Ephraim.
Nígbà náà ni ó kọ́ àgọ́ Josẹfu, kò sì yan ẹ̀yà Efraimu,
68 He chose the tribe of Judah and Mount Zion that he loved.
ṣùgbọ́n ó yan ẹ̀yà Juda, òkè Sioni, èyí tí ó fẹ́ràn.
69 He built his sanctuary like the heavens, like the earth that he has established forever.
Ó kọ́ ibi mímọ́ rẹ̀, ibi gíga, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ayé tí ó fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ títí láé.
70 He chose David, his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.
Ó yan Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ó mú láti inú àwọn agbo ẹran;
71 He took him from following the ewes with their young, and he brought him to be shepherd of Jacob, his people, and of Israel, his heritage.
Ó mú un jáde nínú ìtọ́jú àgùntàn láti jẹ́ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ Jakọbu àti Israẹli ogún un rẹ̀.
72 David shepherded them with the integrity of his heart, and he guided them with the skill of his hands.
Dafidi sì ṣọ́ wọn pẹ̀lú òtítọ́ inú ọkàn; pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ òye ni ó fi darí wọn.
