< Psalms 104 >

1 Yin Olúwa, ìwọ ọkàn mi. Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ìwọ tóbi jọjọ; ọlá àti ọláńlá ni ìwọ wọ̀ ní aṣọ.
Bless, O my soul, the Lord. O Lord my God, thou art very great; with glory and majesty art thou clothed.
2 Ìwọ fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ bo ara rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí aṣọ; ó tẹ ọ̀run bí títẹ́ ẹní,
[Thou art he] who wrappeth himself in light as with a garment; who stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain;
3 ìwọ tí ó fi omi ṣe ìtì igi àjà ìyẹ̀wù rẹ. Ìwọ tí o ṣe àwọsánmọ̀ ní kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun rẹ ìwọ tí ó ń rìn lórí apá ìyẹ́ afẹ́fẹ́.
Who frameth of the waters the beams of his upper-chambers; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh along upon the wings of the wind:
4 Ó fi ẹ̀fúùfù ṣe àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, ọ̀wọ́-iná ni àwọn olùránṣẹ́ rẹ.
Who maketh the winds his messengers; the flaming fire his ministers;
5 O fi ayé gúnlẹ̀ lórí àwọn ìpìlẹ̀; tí a kò le è mì láéláé.
Who hath founded the earth upon her bases, that she should not be moved to all eternity.
6 Ìwọ fi ibú omi bò ó mọ́lẹ̀ bí aṣọ; àwọn omi sì dúró lórí àwọn òkè ńlá.
Thou hadst covered the deep as with a garment: above the mountains stood the waters.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n nípa ìbáwí rẹ ni àwọn omi lọ, nípa ohùn àrá rẹ ni wọ́n sálọ.
At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.
8 wọ́n sàn kọjá lórí àwọn òkè, wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí àwọn pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, sí ibi tí ìwọ ti yàn fún wọn.
They ascended mountains; they went down valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
9 Ìwọ gbé òpin tí wọn kò lè kọjá rẹ̀ kálẹ̀; láéláé ni wọ́n kò ní lè bo ayé mọ́lẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i.
Bounds hast thou set which they cannot pass over, that they return not again to cover the earth.
10 Ìwọ mú kí ìsun da omi sí àwọn àfonífojì; tí ó ń sàn láàrín àwọn òkè.
[Thou art he] who sendeth springs into the valleys, between mountains they run along.
11 Wọ́n fún gbogbo àwọn ẹranko igbó ní omi àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ń pa òǹgbẹ wọn.
They give drink to all the beasts of the field: the wild asses quench [thereon] their thirst.
12 Àwọn ẹyẹ ojú òfúrufú tẹ́ ìtẹ́ wọn lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ omi wọ́n ń kọrin láàrín àwọn ẹ̀ka.
By them have the fowls of the heaven ever their habitation, from between the branches they send forth their voice.
13 Ó bu omi rin àwọn òkè láti ìyẹ̀wù rẹ̀ wá; a tẹ́ ayé lọ́rùn nípa èso iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ.
Who watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: from the fruit of thy works is the earth satisfied.
14 Ó mú kí koríko hù jáde fún àwọn ẹranko láti jẹ àti àwọn ewébẹ̀ fún ènìyàn láti lò, kí ó lè mú oúnjẹ jáde láti ilẹ̀ wá.
[Thou art he] who causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs by the service of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth;
15 Ọtí wáìnì tí ó ń mú ọkàn ènìyàn yọ̀, òróró láti mú ojú rẹ̀ tan, àti àkàrà láti ra ọkàn rẹ̀ padà.
And wine that maketh joyful the heart of man, [and] oil to brighten his face, and bread which strengtheneth the heart of man.
16 Àwọn igi Olúwa ni a bu omi rin dáradára, kedari ti Lebanoni tí ó gbìn.
Full of sap are the trees of the Lord, the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted;
17 Níbẹ̀ ní àwọn ẹyẹ ṣe ìtẹ́ wọn bí ó ṣe tí àkọ̀ ni, orí igi gíga ni ilé rẹ̀.
Where the birds make their nests: the stork—fir-trees are her house.
18 Àwọn òkè gíga ni ààbò fún àwọn ewúrẹ́ igbó; àti àwọn àlàpà jẹ́ ààbò fún àwọn ehoro.
The high mountains are for the wild goats: the rocks are a shelter for the conies.
19 Òṣùpá jẹ́ àmì fún àkókò oòrùn sì mọ ìgbà tí yóò wọ̀.
He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20 Ìwọ mú òkùnkùn wá, ó sì di òru, nínú èyí tí gbogbo ẹranko igbó ń rìn kiri.
Thou causest darkness, and it becometh night, wherein creep forth all the beasts of the forest.
21 Kìnnìún ń bú ramúramù fún ohun ọdẹ wọn wọ́n sì ń wá oúnjẹ wọn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
The young lions roar after their prey, and ask from God their food.
22 Oòrùn ràn, wọ́n sì kó ara wọn jọ, wọn padà lọ dùbúlẹ̀ sí ihò wọn.
The sun ariseth, they withdraw [to their lairs], and lie down in their dens.
23 Ọkùnrin jáde lọ sí iṣẹ́ wọn, àti sí làálàá rẹ̀ títí di àṣálẹ́.
Man goeth [then] forth unto his work, and to his labor until the evening.
24 Iṣẹ́ rẹ ti pọ̀ tó, Olúwa! Nínú ọgbọ́n ni ìwọ ṣe gbogbo wọn: ayé kún fún àwọn ìṣẹ̀dá á rẹ.
How manifold are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Òkun yìí tí ó tóbi, tí ó sì ni ìbú, tí ó kún fún àwọn ẹ̀dá alààyè ní ìsàlẹ̀ láìníye ohun alààyè tí tóbi àti kékeré.
Here is this great and wide-extended sea; therein are moving things without number, living creatures both small and great.
26 Níbẹ̀ ni ọkọ̀ ń lọ síwá sẹ́yìn, àti Lefitani, tí ìwọ dá láti ṣe àríyá nínú rẹ̀.
There the ships make their way: [there also] is the leviathan, whom thou hast made to sport therein.
27 Àwọn wọ̀nyí ń wò ọ́ láti fún wọn ní oúnjẹ wọn lákòókò rẹ̀.
All of these wait upon thee, to give them their food in its due season.
28 Nígbà tí ìwọ bá fi fún wọn, wọn yóò kó jọ; nígbà tí ìwọ bá la ọwọ́ rẹ̀, a tẹ́ wọn lọ́rùn pẹ̀lú ohun rere.
What thou givest them they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
29 Nígbà tí ìwọ bá pa ojú rẹ mọ́ ara kò rọ̀ wọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá mú ẹ̀mí wọn lọ, wọn ó kú, wọn ó sì padà sí erùpẹ̀.
Thou hidest thy face, they suddenly vanish: thou takest away their spirit, they perish, and to their dust they return.
30 Nígbà tí ìwọ rán ẹ̀mí rẹ, ni a dá wọn, ìwọ sì tún ojú ayé ṣe.
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 Jẹ́ kí ògo Olúwa wà pẹ́ títí láé; kí inú Olúwa kí ó dùn ní ti iṣẹ́ rẹ̀,
The glory of the Lord will endure for ever; the Lord will rejoice in his works:
32 ẹni tí ó wo ayé, tí ó sì wárìrì, ẹni tí ó fọwọ́ tọ́ àwọn òkè, tí wọ́n yọ èéfín.
He who looketh down on the earth, and she trembleth; who toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
33 Ní gbogbo ayé mi ní n ó kọrin sí Olúwa: èmi ó kọrin ìyìn sí Olúwa níwọ̀n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè.
I will sing unto the Lord while I live: I will sing praises to my God while I exist.
34 Jẹ́ kí ẹ̀kọ́ mi kí ó tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn bí mo ti ń yọ̀ nínú Olúwa.
May my speech be agreeable to him: I will indeed rejoice in the Lord.
35 Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ kúrò láyé kí ènìyàn búburú má sì sí mọ́. Yin Olúwa, ìwọ ọkàn mi. Yin Olúwa.
May the sinners cease from off the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless, O my soul, the Lord. Hallelujah.
