< Psalms 139 >
1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Olúwa, ìwọ tí wádìí mi, ìwọ sì ti mọ̀ mí.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.
2 Ìwọ mọ̀ ìjókòó mi àti ìdìde mi, ìwọ mọ̀ èrò mi ní ọ̀nà jíjìn réré.
Thou — Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.
3 Ìwọ yí ipa ọ̀nà mi ká àti ìdùbúlẹ̀ mi, gbogbo ọ̀nà mi sì di mí mọ̀ fún ọ.
My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And [with] all my ways hast been acquainted.
4 Nítorí tí kò sí ọ̀rọ̀ kan ní ahọ́n mi, kíyèsi i, Olúwa, ìwọ mọ̀ ọ́n pátápátá.
For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!
5 Ìwọ sé mi mọ́ lẹ́yìn àti níwájú, ìwọ sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ lé mi.
Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.
6 Irú ìmọ̀ yìí jẹ ohun ìyanu fún mi jù; ó ga, èmi kò le mọ̀ ọ́n.
Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.
7 Níbo ní èmi yóò gbé lọ kúrò ni ọwọ́ ẹ̀mí rẹ? Tàbí níbo ni èmi yóò sáré kúrò níwájú rẹ?
Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?
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 the heavens — there Thou [art], And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee! (Sheol )
9 Èmi ìbá mú ìyẹ́ apá òwúrọ̀, kí èmi sì lọ jókòó ní ìhà òpin Òkun,
I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
10 àní, níbẹ̀ náà ni ọwọ́ rẹ̀ yóò fà mí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ yóò sì dì mímú.
Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth 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.”
And I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night [is] light to 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.
Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as [is] darkness so [is] light.
13 Nítorí ìwọ ni ó dá ọkàn mi; ìwọ ni ó bò mí mọ́lẹ̀ nínú ìyá mi.
For Thou — Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.
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 confess Thee, because that [with] wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful [are] Thy works, And my soul is knowing [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 substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of 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.
Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed — And not one among them.
17 Ọlọ́run, èrò inú rẹ tí ṣe iyebíye tó fún mi, iye wọn ti pọ̀ tó!
And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!
18 Èmi ìbá kà wọ́n, wọ́n ju iyanrìn lọ ní iye: nígbà tí mo bá jí, èmi yóò wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ síbẹ̀.
I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.
19 Ọlọ́run ìbá jẹ́ pa àwọn ènìyàn búburú nítòótọ́; nítorí náà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi ẹ̀yin ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́jẹ̀.
Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
20 Ẹni tí ń fi inú búburú sọ̀rọ̀ sí ọ, àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ ń pe orúkọ rẹ ní asán!
Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity [are] Thine enemies.
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, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?
22 Èmi kórìíra wọn ní àkótán; èmi kà wọ́n sí ọ̀tá mi.
[With] perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.
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 a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!
