Psalms 109
1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Ọlọ́run, ti èmi ń fi ìyìn fún, má ṣe dákẹ́,
God of my tehilah ·praise song·, don’t remain silent,
2 nítorí àwọn ènìyàn búburú àti ẹlẹ́tàn ti ya ẹnu wọn sí mi wọ́n ti fi ahọ́n èké sọ̀rọ̀ sí mi.
for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3 Wọ́n fi ọ̀rọ̀ ìríra yí mi káàkiri; wọ́n bá mi jà láìnídìí
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
4 Nípò ìfẹ́ mi, wọn ń ṣe ọ̀tá mi, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ń gba àdúrà.
Making teshuvah ·complete return· for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
5 Wọ́n sì fi ibi san ìre fún mi àti ìríra fún ìfẹ́ mi.
They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Yan àwọn ènìyàn búburú láti dojúkọ jẹ́ kí àwọn olùfisùn dúró ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀.
Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
7 Kí a dá a lẹ́bi nígbà tí a bá ṣe ìdájọ́ kí àdúrà rẹ̀ kí ó lè di ìkọ̀sílẹ̀.
When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal·.
8 Kí ọjọ́ rẹ̀ kí ó kúrú; kí ẹlòmíràn kí ó rọ́pò iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
9 Kí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ di aláìní baba kí aya rẹ̀ sì di opó.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ máa ṣagbe kiri kí wọn máa tọrọ oúnjẹ jìnnà sí ibi ahoro wọn.
Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
11 Jẹ́ kí alọ́nilọ́wọ́gbà kí ó mú ohun gbogbo tí ó ní jẹ́ kí àlejò kí o kó èrè iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ.
Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
12 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnìkan ṣe àánú fún un tàbí kí wọn káàánú lórí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ aláìní baba.
Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his orphan children.
13 Kí a gé àrọ́mọdọ́mọ rẹ̀ kúrò kí orúkọ wọn kí ó parẹ́ ní ìran tí ń bọ̀.
Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Kí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba rẹ̀ kí ó wà ní ìrántí ní ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa. Má ṣe jẹ́ kí a yọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìyá wọn kúrò.
Let the depravity (moral evil) of his fathers be remembered by Adonai. Don’t let the habitual sin ·missing the mark· of his mother be blotted out.
15 Jẹ́ kí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn kí ó wà ní ìrántí níwájú Olúwa kí ó lè gé ìrántí wọn kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
Let them be before Adonai continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
16 Nítorí kò rántí láti ṣàánú, ṣùgbọ́n ó ṣe inúnibíni sí ọkùnrin tálákà àti olùpọ́njú, kí ó lè pa oníròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn.
because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
17 Ó fẹ́ràn láti máa mú ègún wá sí orí rẹ̀: bi inú rẹ̀ kò ti dùn si ìre, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ó jìnnà sí.
Yes, he 'ahav ·affectionately loved· cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
18 Bí ó ti fi ègún wọ ará rẹ̀ láṣọ bí ẹ̀wù bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ó wá sí inú rẹ̀ bí omi.
He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
19 Jẹ́ kí ó rí fún un bí aṣọ tí a dà bò ó ní ara, àti fún àmùrè tí ó fi gba ọ̀já nígbà gbogbo.
Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
20 Èyí ni èrè àwọn ọ̀tá mi láti ọwọ́ Olúwa wá; àti ti àwọn tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ ibi sí ọkàn mi.
This is the reward of my adversaries from Adonai, of those who speak evil against my soul.
21 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, ìwọ ṣe fún mi Olúwa Olódùmarè, ṣe rere fún mi nítorí orúkọ rẹ. Nítorí tí àánú rẹ dára, ìwọ gbà mí.
But deal with me, Adonai the 'Adonay [Yahweh the Lord], for your name’s sake, because your chesed ·loving-kindness· is good, deliver me;
22 Nítorí pé tálákà àti aláìní ni mí, àyà mi sì gbọgbẹ́ nínú mi.
for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
23 Èmi ń kọjá lọ bí òjìji tí àṣálẹ́, mo ń gbọ̀n sókè bí eṣú.
I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
24 Eékún mi di aláìlera nítorí àwẹ̀ gbígbà ẹran-ara mi sì gbẹ nítorí àìlera mi.
My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
25 Mo dàbí ẹ̀gàn fún àwọn olùfisùn mi; nígbà tí wọn wò mí, wọ́n gbọn orí wọn.
I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
26 Ràn mí lọ́wọ́, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi; gbà mí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ.
Help me, Adonai, my God. Save me according to your chesed ·loving-kindness·;
27 Jẹ́ kí wọn mọ̀ pé ọwọ́ rẹ ni èyí wí pé ìwọ, Olúwa, ni ó ṣe é.
that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Adonai, have done it.
28 Wọ́n ó máa gégùn ún, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ máa súre, nígbà tí wọn bá dìde kí ojú kí ó tì wọ́n, ṣùgbọ́n ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò yọ̀.
They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
29 Jẹ́ kí a wọ àwọn ọ̀tá mi ní aṣọ ìtìjú kí á sì fi ìdàrúdàpọ̀ bọ̀ wọ́n lára bí ẹ̀wù.
Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
30 Pẹ̀lú ẹnu mi èmi yóò máa yin Olúwa gidigidi ní àárín ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn èmi yóò máa yìn ín.
I will give great thanks to Adonai with my mouth. Yes, I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to him among the multitude.
31 Nítorí ó dúró ní apá ọ̀tún aláìní láti gbà á lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ń dá ọkàn rẹ̀ lẹ́bi.
For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
