< Psalms 139 >
1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Olúwa, ìwọ tí wádìí mi, ìwọ sì ti mọ̀ mí.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched 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 my up rising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Ìwọ yí ipa ọ̀nà mi ká àti ìdùbúlẹ̀ mi, gbogbo ọ̀nà mi sì di mí mọ̀ fún ọ.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted [with] all my ways.
4 Nítorí tí kò sí ọ̀rọ̀ kan ní ahọ́n mi, kíyèsi i, Olúwa, ìwọ mọ̀ ọ́n pátápátá.
For [there is] not a word on my tongue, [but] lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Ìwọ sé mi mọ́ lẹ́yìn àti níwájú, ìwọ sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ lé mi.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
6 Irú ìmọ̀ yìí jẹ ohun ìyanu fún mi jù; ó ga, èmi kò le mọ̀ ọ́n.
[Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high, 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? or whither shall I flee from thy 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 )
If I ascend into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there]. (Sheol )
9 Èmi ìbá mú ìyẹ́ apá òwúrọ̀, kí èmi sì lọ jókòó ní ìhà òpin Òkun,
[If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 àní, níbẹ̀ náà ni ọwọ́ rẹ̀ yóò fà mí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ yóò sì dì mímú.
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall 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.”
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Nítòótọ́ òkùnkùn kì í ṣú lọ́dọ̀ rẹ; ṣùgbọ́n òru tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ bí ọ̀sán; àti òkùnkùn àti ọ̀sán, méjèèjì bákan náà ní fún ọ.
Yes, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee].
13 Nítorí ìwọ ni ó dá ọkàn mi; ìwọ ni ó bò mí mọ́lẹ̀ nínú ìyá mi.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in 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 praise thee: for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: wonderful [are] thy works; and [that] my soul well knoweth.
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 substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret, [and] curiously formed 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.
Thy eyes saw my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.
17 Ọlọ́run, èrò inú rẹ tí ṣe iyebíye tó fún mi, iye wọn ti pọ̀ tó!
How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 Èmi ìbá kà wọ́n, wọ́n ju iyanrìn lọ ní iye: nígbà tí mo bá jí, èmi yóò wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ síbẹ̀.
[If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Ọlọ́run ìbá jẹ́ pa àwọn ènìyàn búburú nítòótọ́; nítorí náà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi ẹ̀yin ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́jẹ̀.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 Ẹni tí ń fi inú búburú sọ̀rọ̀ sí ọ, àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ ń pe orúkọ rẹ ní asán!
For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thy enemies take [thy name] 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?
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 Èmi kórìíra wọn ní àkótán; èmi kà wọ́n sí ọ̀tá mi.
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.
23 Ọlọ́run, wádìí mi, kí o sì mọ ọkàn mí; dán mi wò, kí o sì mọ ìrò inú mi.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts:
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] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
