< Psalms 115 >

1 Kì í ṣe fún wa, Olúwa kì í ṣe fún wa, ṣùgbọ́n fún orúkọ rẹ ni a fi ògo fún, fún àánú àti òtítọ́ rẹ.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.
2 Torí kí ni àwọn kèfèrí yóò ṣe sọ pé, níbo ni Ọlọ́run wa wà.
For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?
3 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wa wà lọ́run: tí ó ń ṣe èyí tí ó wù ú.
But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
4 Fàdákà òun wúrà ni èrè àwọn aláìkọlà, iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ ènìyàn ni.
The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
5 Wọ́n ní ẹnu, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò le sọ̀rọ̀, wọ́n ní ojú, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ríran.
They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.
6 Wọ́n ní etí, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi gbọ́rọ̀: wọ́n ní imú, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi gbóòórùn.
They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.
7 Wọ́n ní ọwọ́, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò lò ó, wọ́n ní ẹsẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rìn; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò sọ̀rọ̀ nínú òfin wọn.
They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.
8 Àwọn tí ń ṣe wọ́n dàbí wọn; gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ̀ lé wọn.
Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.
9 Ìwọ Israẹli gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa: òun ni ìrànwọ́ àti ààbò wọn
The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
10 Ẹ̀ yin ilé Aaroni, gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa: òun ni ìrànwọ́ àti ààbò wọn.
The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
11 Ẹ̀ yin tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa, gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa: òun ní ìrànwọ́ àti ààbò wọn.
They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
12 Olúwa tí ń ṣe ìrántí wa; yóò bùkún ilé Israẹli; yóò bùkún ilé Aaroni.
The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.
13 Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa, àti kékeré àti ńlá.
He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.
14 Olúwa yóò mú ọ pọ̀ sí i síwájú àti síwájú, ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.
15 Ẹ fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa ẹni tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé.
Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16 Ọ̀run àní ọ̀run ni ti Olúwa: ṣùgbọ́n ayé ló fi fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.
17 Òkú kò lè yìn Olúwa, tàbí ẹni tí ó ti lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́.
The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell. (questioned)
18 Ṣùgbọ́n àwa ó fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa láti ìsinsin yìí lọ àti títí láéláé. Ẹ yin Olúwa.
But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
