< Psalms 19 >

1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Àwọn ọ̀run ń sọ nípa ti ògo Ọlọ́run; àwọsánmọ̀ ń sọ nípa ti iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Wọ́n ń fọhùn ní ọjọ́ dé ọjọ́; wọ́n ń fi ìmọ̀ hàn ní alẹ́ dé alẹ́.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 Kò sí ohùn tàbí èdè níbi tí a kò gbé gbọ́ ìró wọn.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Ohùn wọn jáde lọ sí gbogbo orílẹ̀ ayé, ọ̀rọ̀ wọn títí dé òpin ilẹ̀ ayé. Ó ti kọ́ àgọ́ fún oòrùn nínú àwọn ọ̀run.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Tí ó dàbí ọkọ ìyàwó tí ó ń jáde ti yàrá rẹ̀ wá, òun yọ bí alágbára ọkùnrin tí ó ń sáré ìje.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 Ìjáde lọ rẹ̀ ni láti òpin ọ̀run wá àti àyíká rẹ̀ sì dé ìpínlẹ̀ rẹ̀; kò sì sí ohun tí ó pamọ́ kúrò nínú oore rẹ̀.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 Pípé ni òfin Olúwa, ó ń yí ọkàn padà. Ẹ̀rí Olúwa dánilójú, ó sọ òpè di ọlọ́gbọ́n.
The law of Yhwh is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of Yhwh is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Ìlànà Olúwa tọ̀nà, ó ń fi ayọ̀ fún ọkàn. Àṣẹ Olúwa ni mímọ́, ó ń fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún ojú.
The statutes of Yhwh are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of Yhwh is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa mọ́, ó ń faradà títí láéláé. Ìdájọ́ Olúwa dájú òdodo ni gbogbo wọn.
The fear of Yhwh is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of Yhwh are true and righteous altogether.
10 Wọn ṣọ̀wọ́n ju wúrà lọ, ju wúrà tí o dára jùlọ, wọ́n dùn ju oyin lọ, àti ju afárá oyin lọ.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Nípa wọn ni a ti ṣí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ létí; nípa pípa wọ́n mọ́, èrè púpọ̀ ń bẹ.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Ta ni ó lè mọ àṣìṣe rẹ̀? Dáríjì mí nínú àṣìṣe mi tí ó pamọ́.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret sins.
13 Wẹ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àmọ̀ọ́n-mọ̀-dá; má ṣe jẹ kí wọn kí ó jẹ ọba lórí mi. Nígbà náà ní èmi yóò dúró ṣinṣin, èmi yóò sì ṣe aláìlẹ́bi kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ńlá.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi àti àṣàrò ọkàn mi kí ó jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà ní ojú rẹ, Ìwọ Olúwa àpáta mi, àti Olùdáǹdè mi.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Yhwh, my strength, and my redeemer.
