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.
A prayer of one who is afflicted, when he grows faint and pours out his lament before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry for help come before You.
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.
Do not hide Your face from me in my day of distress. Incline Your ear to me; answer me quickly when I call.
3 Nítorí tí ọjọ́ mi run bí èéfín; egungun mi sì jóná bí ààrò.
For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like glowing embers.
4 Àyà mi lù, ó sì rọ bí i koríko; mo gbàgbé láti jẹ oúnjẹ mi.
My heart is afflicted, and withered like grass; I even forget to eat my bread.
5 Nítorí ohùn ìkérora mi, egungun mi lẹ̀ mọ́ ẹran-ara mi.
Through my loud groaning my flesh clings to my bones.
6 Èmi dàbí ẹyẹ igún ní ijù: èmi dàbí òwìwí ibi ahoro.
I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
7 Èmi dìde; èmi dàbí ẹyẹ lórí ilé.
I lie awake; I am like a lone bird on a housetop.
8 Ní ọjọ́ gbogbo, àwọn ọ̀tá ológoṣẹ́ mi ń gàn mí; àwọn tí ń ṣe ìkanra sí mi ń fi orúkọ mi bú.
All day long my enemies taunt me; they ridicule me and curse 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 mixed my drink with tears
10 Nítorí ìbínú ríru rẹ, nítorí ìwọ ti gbé mi sókè, ìwọ sì gbé mi ṣánlẹ̀.
because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside.
11 Ọjọ́ mi dàbí òjìji àṣálẹ́ èmi sì rọ bí koríko.
My days are like lengthening shadows, and I wither away like grass.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Olúwa, ni yóò dúró láéláé; ìrántí rẹ láti ìran dé ìran.
But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; Your renown endures to all generations.
13 Ìwọ ó dìde ìwọ ó sì ṣàánú fún Sioni, nítorí ìgbà àti ṣe ojúrere sí i; àkókò náà ti dé.
You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor— the appointed time has come.
14 Nítorí tí àwọn òkúta jẹ́ inú dídùn sí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ; wọ́n sì káàánú erùpẹ̀ rẹ.
For Your servants delight in her stones and take pity on her dust.
15 Àwọn kèfèrí yóò bẹ̀rù orúkọ Olúwa, gbogbo ọba ayé yóò máa bẹ̀rù ògo rẹ.
So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear Your glory.
16 Torí tí Olúwa yóò gbé Sioni ró, yóò farahàn nínú ògo rẹ̀.
For the LORD will rebuild Zion; He has appeared in His glory.
17 Yóò dáhùn àdúrà àwọn aláìní; kì yóò sì gan ẹ̀bẹ̀ wọn.
He will turn toward the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer.
18 Jẹ́ kí a kọ èyí fún ìran tí ń bọ̀, àwọn ènìyàn tí a kò tí ì dá yóò yin Olúwa:
Let this be written for the generation to come, so that a people not yet created may praise the LORD.
19 “Olúwa wo ilẹ̀ láti òkè mímọ́ rẹ̀ wá láti ọ̀run wá ni ó bojú wo ayé,
For He looked down from the heights of His sanctuary; the LORD gazed out from heaven to earth
20 láti gbọ́ ìrora ará túbú, láti tú àwọn tí a yàn sí ikú sílẹ̀.”
to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,
21 Kí a lè sọ orúkọ Olúwa ní Sioni àti ìyìn rẹ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu.
that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and praise Him in Jerusalem,
22 Ní ìgbà tí a kó àwọn ènìyàn àti ìjọba pọ̀ láti máa sìn Olúwa.
when peoples and kingdoms assemble to serve the LORD.
23 Ní ipa ọ̀nà mi, ó rẹ agbára mi sílẹ̀, ó gé ọjọ́ mi kúrú.
He has broken my strength on the way; He has cut short 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 say: “O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days! Your years go on through all generations.
25 Ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ní ìwọ fi ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, ọ̀run sì jẹ́ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ.
In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your 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 will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them, and they will be passed on.
27 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ wà digbí síbẹ̀, ọdún rẹ kò sì ní òpin.
But You remain the same, and Your years will never 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 children of Your servants will dwell securely, and their descendants will be established before You.”
