< 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, Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your kindness’ and faithfulness’ sake.
2 Torí kí ni àwọn kèfèrí yóò ṣe sọ pé, níbo ni Ọlọ́run wa wà.
Why should the heathen say, ‘Where is now their God?’
3 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wa wà lọ́run: tí ó ń ṣe èyí tí ó wù ú.
Our God he is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.
4 Fàdákà òun wúrà ni èrè àwọn aláìkọlà, iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ ènìyàn ni.
Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
5 Wọ́n ní ẹnu, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò le sọ̀rọ̀, wọ́n ní ojú, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ríran.
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see.
6 Wọ́n ní etí, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi gbọ́rọ̀: wọ́n ní imú, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi gbóòórùn.
They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell.
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, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk: no sound comes from their throats.
8 Àwọn tí ń ṣe wọ́n dàbí wọn; gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ̀ lé wọn.
Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
9 Ìwọ Israẹli gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa: òun ni ìrànwọ́ àti ààbò wọn
O Israel, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
10 Ẹ̀ yin ilé Aaroni, gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa: òun ni ìrànwọ́ àti ààbò wọn.
House of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
11 Ẹ̀ yin tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa, gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa: òun ní ìrànwọ́ àti ààbò wọn.
You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord he is their help and their shield.
12 Olúwa tí ń ṣe ìrántí wa; yóò bùkún ilé Israẹli; yóò bùkún ilé Aaroni.
The Lord, mindful of us, will bless us: he will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa, àti kékeré àti ńlá.
He will bless those who fear the Lord, the small and the great together.
14 Olúwa yóò mú ọ pọ̀ sí i síwájú àti síwájú, ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
May the Lord add to your numbers to you and to your children.
15 Ẹ fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa ẹni tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé.
Blessed be you of the Lord, creator of heaven and earth.
16 Ọ̀run àní ọ̀run ni ti Olúwa: ṣùgbọ́n ayé ló fi fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, but the earth has he given to people.
17 Òkú kò lè yìn Olúwa, tàbí ẹni tí ó ti lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́.
The dead cannot praise the Lord, nor those who go down into silence.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n àwa ó fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa láti ìsinsin yìí lọ àti títí láéláé. Ẹ yin Olúwa.
But we will bless the Lord from now and for evermore. Hallelujah.
