Psalms 139
1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Olúwa, ìwọ tí wádìí mi, ìwọ sì ti mọ̀ mí.
For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me.
2 Ìwọ mọ̀ ìjókòó mi àti ìdìde mi, ìwọ mọ̀ èrò mi ní ọ̀nà jíjìn réré.
Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising: thou understandest my thoughts long before.
3 Ìwọ yí ipa ọ̀nà mi ká àti ìdùbúlẹ̀ mi, gbogbo ọ̀nà mi sì di mí mọ̀ fún ọ.
Thou hast traced my path and my bed, and hast foreseen all my ways.
4 Nítorí tí kò sí ọ̀rọ̀ kan ní ahọ́n mi, kíyèsi i, Olúwa, ìwọ mọ̀ ọ́n pátápátá.
For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things,
5 Ìwọ sé mi mọ́ lẹ́yìn àti níwájú, ìwọ sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ lé mi.
the last and the first: thou hast fashioned me, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Irú ìmọ̀ yìí jẹ ohun ìyanu fún mi jù; ó ga, èmi kò le mọ̀ ọ́n.
The knowledge of thee is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I cannot [attain] to it.
7 Níbo ní èmi yóò gbé lọ kúrò ni ọwọ́ ẹ̀mí rẹ? Tàbí níbo ni èmi yóò sáré kúrò níwájú rẹ?
Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither shall I flee from my presence?
8 Bí èmi bá gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run, ìwọ wà níbẹ̀; bí èmí ba sì tẹ́ ẹní mi ní ipò òkú, kíyèsi i, ìwọ wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú. (Sheol h7585)
If I should go up to heaven, thou art there: if I should go down to hell, thou art present. (Sheol h7585)
9 Èmi ìbá mú ìyẹ́ apá òwúrọ̀, kí èmi sì lọ jókòó ní ìhà òpin Òkun,
If I should spread my wings [to fly] straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, [it would be vain],
10 àní, níbẹ̀ náà ni ọwọ́ rẹ̀ yóò fà mí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ yóò sì dì mímú.
for even there thy hand would guide me, and thy right hand would hold me.
11 Bí mo bá wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ kí òkùnkùn kí ó bò mí mọ́lẹ̀; kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ kí ó di òru yí mi ká.”
When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night [was] light in my luxury.
12 Nítòótọ́ òkùnkùn kì í ṣú lọ́dọ̀ rẹ; ṣùgbọ́n òru tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ bí ọ̀sán; àti òkùnkùn àti ọ̀sán, méjèèjì bákan náà ní fún ọ.
For darkness will not be darkness with thee; but night will be light as day: as its darkness, so shall its light [be to thee].
13 Nítorí ìwọ ni ó dá ọkàn mi; ìwọ ni ó bò mí mọ́lẹ̀ nínú ìyá mi.
For thou, O Lord, hast possessed my reins; thou hast helped me from my mother's womb.
14 Èmi yóò yìn ọ, nítorí tẹ̀rù tẹ̀rù àti tìyanu tìyanu ní a dá mi; ìyanu ní iṣẹ́ rẹ; èyí nì ni ọkàn mi sì mọ̀ dájúdájú.
I will give thee thanks; for thou art fearfully wondrous; wondrous are thy works; and my soul knows [it] well.
15 Ẹ̀dá ara mi kò pamọ́ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ, nígbà tí a dá mi ní ìkọ̀kọ̀. Tí a sì ń ṣiṣẹ́ ní àràbarà ní ìhà ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ayé,
My bones, which thou madest in secret were not hidden from thee, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 ojú rẹ ti rí ohun ara mi nígbà tí a kò tí ì ṣe mí pé, àti nínú ìwé rẹ ni a ti kọ ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn sí, ní ọjọ́ tí a dá wọn, nígbà tí wọn kò tilẹ̀ tí ì sí.
Thine eyes saw my unwrought [substance], and all [men] shall be written in thy book; they shall be formed by day, though [there should for a time] be no one among them.
17 Ọlọ́run, èrò inú rẹ tí ṣe iyebíye tó fún mi, iye wọn ti pọ̀ tó!
But thy friends, O God, have been greatly honoured by me; their rule has been greatly strengthened.
18 Èmi ìbá kà wọ́n, wọ́n ju iyanrìn lọ ní iye: nígbà tí mo bá jí, èmi yóò wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ síbẹ̀.
I will number them, and they shall be multiplied beyond the sand; I awake, and am still with thee.
19 Ọlọ́run ìbá jẹ́ pa àwọn ènìyàn búburú nítòótọ́; nítorí náà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi ẹ̀yin ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́jẹ̀.
Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God; depart from me, ye men of blood.
20 Ẹni tí ń fi inú búburú sọ̀rọ̀ sí ọ, àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ ń pe orúkọ rẹ ní asán!
For thou wilt say concerning [their] thought, [that] they shall take thy cities in vain.
21 Olúwa, ǹjẹ́ èmi kò kórìíra àwọn tó kórìíra rẹ? Ǹjẹ́ inú mi kò a sì bàjẹ́ sí àwọn tí ó dìde sí ọ?
Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hate thee? and wasted away because of thine enemies?
22 Èmi kórìíra wọn ní àkótán; èmi kà wọ́n sí ọ̀tá mi.
I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted my enemies.
23 Ọlọ́run, wádìí mi, kí o sì mọ ọkàn mí; dán mi wò, kí o sì mọ ìrò inú mi.
Prove me, O God, and know my heart; examine me, and know my paths;
24 Kí ó sì wò ó bí ipa ọ̀nà búburú kan bá wà nínú mi kí ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ mi lé ọ̀nà àìnípẹ̀kun.
and see if [there is any] way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way.
