Psalms 102
1 Àdúrà olùpọ́njú tí àárẹ̀ mú, tí ó sí ọkàn rẹ̀ payá níwájú Olúwa. Gbọ́ àdúrà mi, Olúwa, jẹ́ kí igbe ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi kí ó wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and let my cry come to thee.
2 Má ṣe pa ojú rẹ mọ́ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi ní ọjọ́ tí èmi wà nínú ìpọ́njú. Dẹ etí rẹ sí mi; nígbà tí mo bá pè, dá mi lóhùn kíákíá.
Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress. Incline thine ear to me. In the day when I call answer me speedily.
3 Nítorí tí ọjọ́ mi run bí èéfín; egungun mi sì jóná bí ààrò.
For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.
4 Àyà mi lù, ó sì rọ bí i koríko; mo gbàgbé láti jẹ oúnjẹ mi.
My heart is smitten like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.
5 Nítorí ohùn ìkérora mi, egungun mi lẹ̀ mọ́ ẹran-ara mi.
Because of the voice of my groaning my bones cling to my flesh.
6 Èmi dàbí ẹyẹ igún ní ijù: èmi dàbí òwìwí ibi ahoro.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
7 Èmi dìde; èmi dàbí ẹyẹ lórí ilé.
I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone upon the house-top.
8 Ní ọjọ́ gbogbo, àwọn ọ̀tá ológoṣẹ́ mi ń gàn mí; àwọn tí ń ṣe ìkanra sí mi ń fi orúkọ mi bú.
My enemies reproach me all the day. Those who are mad against me do curse by me.
9 Èmi jẹ eérú gẹ́gẹ́ bí oúnjẹ mi, èmi sì da ohun mímu mi pọ̀ pẹ̀lú omijé.
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10 Nítorí ìbínú ríru rẹ, nítorí ìwọ ti gbé mi sókè, ìwọ sì gbé mi ṣánlẹ̀.
because of thine indignation and thy wrath. For thou have taken me up, and cast me away.
11 Ọjọ́ mi dàbí òjìji àṣálẹ́ èmi sì rọ bí koríko.
My days are like a shadow that declines, and I am withered like grass.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Olúwa, ni yóò dúró láéláé; ìrántí rẹ láti ìran dé ìran.
But thou, O Jehovah, will abide forever, and thy memorial to all generations.
13 Ìwọ ó dìde ìwọ ó sì ṣàánú fún Sioni, nítorí ìgbà àti ṣe ojúrere sí i; àkókò náà ti dé.
Thou will arise, and have mercy upon Zion, for it is time to have pity upon her, yea, the set time has come.
14 Nítorí tí àwọn òkúta jẹ́ inú dídùn sí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ; wọ́n sì káàánú erùpẹ̀ rẹ.
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity upon her dust.
15 Àwọn kèfèrí yóò bẹ̀rù orúkọ Olúwa, gbogbo ọba ayé yóò máa bẹ̀rù ògo rẹ.
So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16 Torí tí Olúwa yóò gbé Sioni ró, yóò farahàn nínú ògo rẹ̀.
For Jehovah has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
17 Yóò dáhùn àdúrà àwọn aláìní; kì yóò sì gan ẹ̀bẹ̀ wọn.
He has regarded the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.
18 Jẹ́ kí a kọ èyí fún ìran tí ń bọ̀, àwọn ènìyàn tí a kò tí ì dá yóò yin Olúwa:
This shall be written for the generation to come. And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.
19 “Olúwa wo ilẹ̀ láti òkè mímọ́ rẹ̀ wá láti ọ̀run wá ni ó bojú wo ayé,
For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven Jehovah beheld the earth,
20 láti gbọ́ ìrora ará túbú, láti tú àwọn tí a yàn sí ikú sílẹ̀.”
to hear the sighing of the prisoner, to loose those who are appointed to death,
21 Kí a lè sọ orúkọ Olúwa ní Sioni àti ìyìn rẹ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu.
that men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
22 Ní ìgbà tí a kó àwọn ènìyàn àti ìjọba pọ̀ láti máa sìn Olúwa.
when the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
23 Ní ipa ọ̀nà mi, ó rẹ agbára mi sílẹ̀, ó gé ọjọ́ mi kúrú.
He weakened my strength in the way. He shortened my days.
24 Èmi sì wí pé: “Ọlọ́run mi, má ṣe mú mi kúrò ní agbede-méjì ọjọ́ mi; ọdún rẹ̀ ń lọ láti ìran dé ìran.
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days. Thy years are throughout all generations.
25 Ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ní ìwọ fi ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, ọ̀run sì jẹ́ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ.
Of old thou laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26 Wọn yóò ṣègbé, wọn yóò parun, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò wà; gbogbo wọn ni yóò gbó bí aṣọ. Bí ẹ̀wù ni ìwọ yóò pààrọ̀ wọn wọn yóò sì di àpatì.
They shall perish, but thou shall endure. Yea, all of them shall grow old like a garment. As a vesture thou shall change them, and they shall be changed,
27 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ wà digbí síbẹ̀, ọdún rẹ kò sì ní òpin.
but thou are the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28 Àwọn ọmọ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ yóò dúró ní iwájú rẹ pẹ́; a ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ irú-ọmọ wọn sọlẹ̀ ní iwájú rẹ.”
The sons of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
