< Psalms 119 >
1 [Aleph.] O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,
Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ẹni tí ọ̀nà wọn wà láìlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ẹni tí í rìn ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú òfin Olúwa.
2 O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him.
Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ẹni tí ń pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́ tí wọn sì ń wá a pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn wọn.
3 Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.
Wọn kò ṣe ohun tí kò dára; wọ́n rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀.
4 Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently,
Ìwọ ti la ìlànà rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ kí a sì pa wọ́n mọ́ gidigidi.
5 O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,
Ọ̀nà mi ìbá dúró ṣinṣin láti máa pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́!
6 Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.
Nígbà náà, ojú kò ní tì mí nígbà tí mo bá ń kíyèsi àṣẹ rẹ̀ gbogbo.
7 I confess Thee with uprightness of heart, In my learning the judgments of Thy righteousness.
Èmi yóò yìn ọ́ pẹ̀lú ọkàn ìdúró ṣinṣin bí èmi bá ti kọ́ òfin òdodo rẹ̀.
8 Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!
Èmi yóò gbọ́rọ̀ sí àṣẹ rẹ̀, má ṣe kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀ pátápátá.
9 [Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe — according to Thy word.
Báwo ni àwọn ọ̀dọ́ yóò ti ṣe pa ọ̀nà rẹ̀ mọ́? Láti máa gbé ní ìbámu sí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
10 With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.
Èmi wá ọ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn mi má ṣe jẹ́ kí èmi yapa kúrò nínú àṣẹ rẹ.
11 In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
Èmi ti pa ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ mọ́ ní ọkàn mi kí èmi má ba à ṣẹ̀ sí ọ.
12 Blessed [art] Thou, O Jehovah, teach me Thy statutes.
Ìyìn ni fún Olúwa; kọ́ mi ní àṣẹ rẹ.
13 With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Thy mouth.
Pẹ̀lú ètè mi èmi tún ṣírò gbogbo òfin tí ó wá láti ẹnu rẹ.
14 In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.

17 [Gimel.] Confer benefits on Thy servant, I live, and I keep Thy word.
Ṣe rere sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, èmi yóò sì wà láààyè; èmi yóò ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
18 Uncover mine eyes, and I behold wonders out of Thy law.
La ojú mi kí èmi lè ríran rí ohun ìyanu tí ó wà nínú òfin rẹ.
19 A sojourner I [am] on earth, Hide not from me Thy commands.
Àlejò ní èmi jẹ́ láyé, má ṣe pa àṣẹ rẹ mọ́ fún mi.
20 Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all times.
Ọkàn mi pòruurù pẹ̀lú ìfojúsọ́nà nítorí òfin rẹ nígbà gbogbo.
21 Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, Who are erring from Thy commands.
Ìwọ fi àwọn agbéraga bú, àwọn tí a fi gégùn ún tí ó ṣìnà kúrò nínú àṣẹ rẹ.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt, For Thy testimonies I have kept.
Mú ẹ̀gàn àti àbùkù kúrò lára mi, nítorí èmi pa òfin rẹ mọ́.
23 Princes also sat — against me they spoke, Thy servant doth meditate in Thy statutes,

24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, The men of my counsel!
Òfin rẹ ni dídùn inú mi; àwọn ní olùbádámọ̀ràn mi.
25 [Daleth.] Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.
Ọkàn mí lẹ̀ mọ́ erùpẹ̀; ìwọ sọ mí di ààyè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
26 My ways I have recounted, And Thou answerest me, teach me Thy statutes,
Èmi tún ọ̀nà mi ṣírò ìwọ sì dá mi lóhùn; kọ́ mi ní àṣẹ rẹ.
27 The way of Thy precepts cause me to understand, And I meditate in Thy wonders.

28 My soul hath dropped from affliction, Establish me according to Thy word.
Ọkàn mi ń ṣe àárẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìbànújẹ́; fi agbára fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.

Èmi sáré ní ipa ọ̀nà àṣẹ rẹ, nítorí ìwọ, ti tú ọkàn mi sílẹ̀.
33 [He.] Show me, O Jehovah, the way of Thy statutes, And I keep it — [to] the end.
Kọ́ mi, Olúwa, láti tẹ̀lé àṣẹ rẹ; nígbà náà ni èmi yóò pa wọ́n mọ́ dé òpin.
34 Cause me to understand, and I keep Thy law, And observe it with the whole heart.
Fún mi ní òye, èmi yóò sì pa òfin rẹ mọ́ èmi yóò sì máa kíyèsi i pẹ̀lú ọkàn mi.
35 Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it I have delighted.
Fi ipa ọ̀nà àṣẹ rẹ hàn mí, nítorí nínú rẹ̀ ni èmi rí inú dídùn.
36 Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, And not unto dishonest gain.
Yí ọkàn mi padà sí òfin rẹ kí ó má ṣe sí ojúkòkòrò mọ́.
37 Remove mine eyes from seeing vanity, In Thy way quicken Thou me.
Yí ojú mi padà kúrò láti máa wo ohun asán: pa ọ̀nà mi mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
38 Establish to Thy servant Thy saying, That [is] concerning Thy fear.
Mú ìlérí rẹ sẹ sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, nítorí òfin rẹ dára.
39 Remove my reproach that I have feared, For Thy judgments [are] good.
Yí ẹ̀gàn mi padà tí mo bẹ̀rù nítorí tí ìdájọ́ rẹ dára.
40 Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,
Kíyèsi i, ọkàn mi ti fà sí ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ! Pa ayé mi mọ́ nínú òdodo rẹ.
41 [Waw.] And meet me doth Thy kindness, O Jehovah, Thy salvation according to Thy saying.
Jẹ́ kí ìfẹ́ rẹ tí kì í kùnà wá bá mi, Olúwa, ìgbàlà rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpinnu rẹ.
42 And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.
Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò dá ẹni tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀gàn sí mi lóhùn, nítorí èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
43 And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.
Má ṣe gba ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ láti ẹnu mi nítorí èmi ti gbé ìrètí mi sínú àṣẹ rẹ.
44 And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.

49 [Zain.] Remember the word to Thy servant, On which Thou hast caused me to hope.
Rántí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, nítorí ìwọ ti fún mi ní ìrètí.
50 This [is] my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.
Ìtùnú mi nínú ìpọ́njú mi ni èyí: ìpinnu rẹ pa ayé mi mọ́.
51 The proud have utterly scorned me, From Thy law I have not turned aside.
Àwọn agbéraga fi mí ṣe ẹlẹ́yà láì dádúró, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò padà nínú òfin rẹ.

55 I have remembered in the night Thy name, O Jehovah, And I do keep Thy law.
Ní òru èmi rántí orúkọ rẹ, Olúwa, èmi yóò sì pa òfin rẹ mọ́
56 This hath been to me, That Thy precepts I have kept!
nítorí tí mo gba ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ gbọ́.
57 [Cheth.] My portion [is] Jehovah; I have said — to keep Thy words,
Ìwọ ni ìpín mi, Olúwa: èmi ti pinnu láti tẹríba sí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
58 I appeased Thy face with the whole heart, Favour me according to Thy saying.

Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àwọn ẹni búburú dì mí pẹ̀lú okùn, èmi kò ní gbàgbé òfin rẹ.
62 At midnight I rise to give thanks to Thee, For the judgments of Thy righteousness.
Ní àárín ọ̀gànjọ́ òru èmi dìde láti fi ọpẹ́ fún ọ nítorí òfin òdodo rẹ.
63 A companion I [am] to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.

Ṣe rere sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ, Olúwa.
66 The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed.
Kọ́ mi ní ìmọ̀ àti ìdájọ́ rere, nítorí mo gbàgbọ́ nínú àṣẹ rẹ.
67 Before I am afflicted, I — I am erring, And now Thy saying I have kept.
Kí a tó pọ́n mi lójú èmi ti ṣìnà, ṣùgbọ́n ni ìsinsin yìí èmi gbọ́rọ̀ sí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
68 Good Thou [art], and doing good, Teach me Thy statutes.

69 Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the whole heart keep Thy precepts.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àwọn agbéraga ti gbìmọ̀ èké sí mí, èmi pa ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ mọ́ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn mi.

Ọkàn wọn yigbì kò sì ní àánú, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ní inú dídùn nínú òfin rẹ.
71 Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes.
Ó dára fún mi kí a pọ́n mi lójú nítorí kí èmi lè kọ́ òfin rẹ.
72 Better to me [is] the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!
Òfin tí ó jáde láti ẹnu rẹ ju iyebíye sí mi lọ ó ju ẹgbẹ̀rún ẹyọ fàdákà àti wúrà lọ.

Ọwọ́ rẹ ni ó dá mi tí ó sì mọ mí; fún mi ní òye láti kọ́ àṣẹ rẹ.
74 Those fearing Thee see me and rejoice, Because for Thy word I have hoped.
Jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ máa yọ̀ nígbà tí wọ́n bá rí mi, nítorí èmi ti mú ìrètí mi sínú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.

78 Ashamed are the proud, For [with] falsehood they dealt perversely with me. I meditate in Thy precepts.

Jẹ́ kí ọkàn mi wà láìlẹ́bi sí òfin rẹ, kí ojú kí ó má ṣe tì mí.
81 [Kaph.] Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.
Ọkàn mi ń fojú ṣọ́nà nítorí ìgbàlà rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti fi ìrètí mi sínú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.

85 The proud have digged for me pits, That [are] not according to Thy law.
Àwọn agbéraga wa ihò ìṣubú fún mi, tí ó lòdì sí òfin rẹ.
86 All Thy commands [are] faithfulness, [With] falsehood they have pursued me, Help Thou me.
Gbogbo àṣẹ rẹ yẹ ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé; ràn mí lọ́wọ́, nítorí ènìyàn ń ṣe inúnibíni sí mi láìnídìí.

Pa ayé mi mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ rẹ, èmi yóò sì gba ẹ̀rí ẹnu rẹ̀ gbọ́.
89 [Lamed.] To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word is set up in the heavens.
Ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ, Olúwa, títí láé ni; ó dúró ṣinṣin ní ọ̀run.
