Psalms 10
1 Èéha ti ṣe, Olúwa, tí ìwọ fi dúró ní òkè réré? Èéha ti ṣe, tí ìwọ fi ara rẹ pamọ́ ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú?
Why standest thou farre off, O Lord, and hidest thee in due time, euen in affliction?
2 Nínú àrékérekè ni ènìyàn búburú tí mu aláìlera, ẹni ti ó mú nínú ìdẹ̀kùn àrékérekè rẹ̀.
The wicked with pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the craftes that they haue imagined.
3 Nítorí ènìyàn búburú ń ṣògo ìfẹ́ inú ọkàn rẹ̀; Ó bùkún olójúkòkòrò, ó sì ń kẹ́gàn Olúwa.
For the wicked hath made boast of his owne heartes desire, and the couetous blesseth himselfe: he contemneth the Lord.
4 Ènìyàn búburú kò lè rí nínú ìgbéraga rẹ̀; kò sí ààyè fún Ọlọ́run nínú gbogbo èrò rẹ̀.
The wicked is so proude that hee seeketh not for God: hee thinketh alwayes, There is no God.
5 Ọ̀nà rẹ̀ ń gún régé nígbà gbogbo; òun ń gbéraga, òfin rẹ̀ sì jìnnà sí i; òun kẹ́gàn àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
His wayes alway prosper: thy iudgements are hie aboue his sight: therefore defieth he all his enemies.
6 O wí fún ara rẹ̀, “Kò sí ohun tí ó lè mì mí. Inú mi yóò máa dùn nígbà gbogbo, èmi kò sì ní ní wàhálà.”
He saith in his heart, I shall neuer be moued, nor be in danger.
7 Ẹnu rẹ̀ kún fún ègún àti irọ́ àti ìtànjẹ; wàhálà àti ohun búburú wà lábẹ́ ahọ́n rẹ̀.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceite and fraude: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and iniquitie.
8 Ó lúgọ ní bùba nítòsí ìletò. Ò gọ níbi ìkọ̀kọ̀ láti pa aláìṣẹ̀. Ojú rẹ̀ ń ṣọ́ àwọn tálákà ní ìkọ̀kọ̀.
He lieth in waite in the villages: in the secret places doeth hee murder the innocent: his eyes are bent against the poore.
9 Ó ba ní ní bùba bí i kìnnìún nínú pàǹtí; Ó ba ní bùba láti mú àwọn aláìní ìrànwọ́; ó mú àwọn aláìlólùrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì wọ́ wọn lọ sínú àwọ̀n rẹ̀.
He lyeth in waite secretly, euen as a lyon in his denne: he lyeth in waite to spoyle the poore: he doeth spoyle the poore, when he draweth him into his net.
10 Ó ba, ó rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀; kí tálákà ba à le bọ́ sí ọwọ́ agbára rẹ̀.
He croucheth and boweth: therefore heaps of the poore doe fall by his might.
11 Ó wí fún ara rẹ̀, “Ọlọ́run ti gbàgbé; Ó pa ojú rẹ̀ mọ́, òun kì yóò rí i láéláé.”
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth away his face, and will neuer see.
12 Dìde, Olúwa! Gbé ọwọ́ rẹ sókè, Ọlọ́run. Má ṣe gbàgbé àwọn olùpọ́njú.
Arise, O Lord God: lift vp thine hande: forget not the poore.
13 Èéṣe tí ènìyàn búburú ṣe ń kẹ́gàn Ọlọ́run? Èéṣe tí o fi wí nínú ọkàn ara rẹ̀, “Kò ní pè mí láti ṣe ìṣirò”?
Wherefore doeth the wicked contemne God? he saith in his heart, Thou wilt not regard.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Ọlọ́run, ni ó rí wàhálà àti ìrora; Ìwọ rò láti fi sí ọwọ́ rẹ. Tálákà fi ara rẹ̀ jì fún ọ; Ìwọ ni olùrànlọ́wọ́ àwọn aláìní baba.
Yet thou hast seene it: for thou beholdest mischiefe and wrong, that thou mayest take it into thine handes: the poore committeth himselfe vnto thee: for thou art the helper of the fatherlesse.
15 Ṣẹ́ apá àwọn ènìyàn búburú àti ènìyàn ibi; pè é láti wá ṣírò fún ìwà ìkà rẹ̀ tí a kò le è rí.
Breake thou the arme of the wicked and malicious: searche his wickednes, and thou shalt finde none.
16 Olúwa ń jẹ ọba láé àti láéláé; àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò ṣègbé lórí ilé rẹ.
The Lord is King for euer and euer: the heathen are destroyed foorth of his land.
17 Ìwọ́ gbọ́, Olúwa, ìfẹ́ àwọn tí a ni lára; Ìwọ gbà wọ́n níyànjú, ó sì gbọ́ igbe wọn,
Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the poore: thou preparest their heart: thou bendest thine eare to them,
18 láti ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn aláìní baba àti àwọn ti a ni lára, kí ọkùnrin, tí ó wà ní ayé, kí ó má ṣe dẹ́rùbà ni mọ́.
To iudge the fatherlesse and poore, that earthly man cause to feare no more.
