Psalms 118
1 Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó dára; àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever.
2 Jẹ́ kí Israẹli wí pé: “Àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé”.
Let all Israel say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
3 Jẹ́ kí ilé Aaroni wí pé: “Àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé”.
Let Aaron's descendants say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
4 Jẹ́ kí àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa wí pé: “Àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.”
Let those who honor the Lord say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
5 Nínú ìrora mi, mo sọkún sí Olúwa, ó sì dá mi lóhùn nípa pé ó tú mi sílẹ̀.
I was suffering badly, so I cried out to the Lord for help. He answered me and set me free from my pain.
6 Olúwa ń bẹ fún èmi; èmi kì yóò bẹ̀rù. Kí ni ènìyàn lè ṣe sí mi?
The Lord is with me, so I have nothing to fear. No one can harm me.
7 Olúwa ń bẹ fún mi; òun ni olùrànlọ́wọ́ mi. Nítorí náà ni èmi ó ṣe rí ìṣẹ́gun mi lórí àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi.
The Lord is with me, he will help me. I will see those who hate me defeated.
8 Ó dára láti máa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa ju àti gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ènìyàn lọ.
It's better to rely on the Lord than to trust in people.
9 Ó dára láti máa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa ju à ti gbẹ́kẹ̀lé àwọn ọmọ-aládé lọ.
It's better to rely on the Lord than to trust in the rich and powerful.
10 Gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yí mi káàkiri, ṣùgbọ́n ní orúkọ Olúwa èmi gé wọn kúrò.
Even though all the heathen nations surrounded me, I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
11 Wọ́n yí mi káàkiri ní gbogbo ẹ̀gbẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n ní orúkọ Olúwa èmi gé wọn dànù.
They completely surrounded me, but even so I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
12 Wọ́n gbá yìn ìn yí mi ká bí oyin, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n kú kíákíá bí iná ẹ̀gún; ní orúkọ Olúwa èmi ké wọn dànù.
Like a swarm of bees they attacked, but their attack died out as quickly as burning thorn twigs. I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
13 Ìwọ tì mí gidigidi kí n lè ṣubú, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ràn mí lọ́wọ́.
They tried as hard as they could to kill me, but the Lord helped me.
14 Olúwa ni agbára àti orin mi; ó sì di ìgbàlà mi.
The Lord is my strength, and the one I sing about. He is the one who saves me.
15 Ohùn ayọ̀ àti ìgbàlà ń bẹ nínú àgọ́ àwọn olódodo: “Ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Olúwa ń ṣe ohun agbára!
Songs of celebration and victory come from the tents of the faithful. The Lord's powerful hand has done amazing things!
16 Ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Olúwa ní a gbéga; ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Olúwa ń ṣe ohun agbára!”
The Lord raises his powerful hand in victory! The Lord's powerful hand has done amazing things!
17 Èmi kì yóò kú, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò yè, èmi yóò pòkìkí ohun tí Olúwa ṣe.
I'm not going to die. In fact I'm going to live, and let people know what the Lord has done.
18 Olúwa bá mi wí gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò fi mí lé ikú lọ́wọ́.
Even though the Lord punished me severely, he did not let me die.
19 Ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu-ọ̀nà òdodo fún mi: èmi yóò bá ibẹ̀ wọlé, èmi yóò sì fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa.
Open the gates of the faithful for me so I can go in and thank the Lord.
20 Èyí ni ìlẹ̀kùn Olúwa ibẹ̀ ni àwọn olódodo yóò bá wọlé.
These are the gates of the Lord where God's faithful people enter.
21 Èmi yóò fi ọpẹ́ fún ọ, nítorí ó dá mi lóhùn; ìwọ sì di ìgbàlà mi.
I want to thank you for answering me and for being the one who saves me.
22 Òkúta tí àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé kọ̀sílẹ̀, ni ó di pàtàkì igun ilé;
The stone rejected by the builders has turned out to be the chief cornerstone.
23 Olúwa ti ṣe èyí, ó ṣe ìyanu ní ojú wa.
The Lord has done this, and it looks wonderful to us!
24 Èyí ni ọjọ́ tí Olúwa dá: ẹ jẹ́ kí ayọ̀ kí inú wa sì máa dùn nínú rẹ̀.
The Lord made this day happen! We will celebrate and be happy for it!
25 Olúwa, gbà wá; Olúwa, fún wa ní àlàáfíà.
Lord, please save us! Lord, please make us successful!
26 Ìbùkún ni ẹni tí ń bọ̀ wá ní orúkọ Olúwa. Àwa ti fi ìbùkún fún ọ láti ilé Olúwa wá.
May the one who comes in the power of the Lord by blessed! We bless you from the house of the Lord!
27 Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run, ó ti mú ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ tàn sí wa lára pẹ̀lú ẹ̀ka igi ní ọwọ́, ó dára pọ̀ mọ́ ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tí ń wọ́ nínú ayọ̀ ẹ fi okùn di ẹbọ náà mọ́ ìwo pẹpẹ.
The Lord is God, and his goodness shines on us. Branches in hand, start the procession up towards the altar.
28 Ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi, èmi yóò máa fi ọpẹ́ fún ọ; ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi, èmi yóò gbé ọ ga.
You are my God, and I will thank you! You are my God, and I will praise you!
29 Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó ṣeun; nítorí tí àánú rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever!
