Psalms 34
1 Tí Dafidi. Nígbà tí ó díbọ́n bí ẹni tí ń ṣe wèrè níwájú Abimeleki, ẹni tí ó lé e lọ, ó sì jáde lọ. Èmi yóò máa fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa nígbà gbogbo; ìyìn rẹ̀ yóò máa wà ní ẹnu mi títí láé.
David’s. When he disguised his sanity before Abimelech, —who dismissed him, and he departed. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Let me bless Yahweh at all times, Continually be his praise in my mouth.
2 Ọkàn mí yóò máa ṣògo nínú Olúwa; jẹ́ kí àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ gbọ́ kí inú wọn kí ó sì máa dùn.
In Yahweh, boasteth my soul, The patient oppressed-ones shall hear and be glad.
3 Gbé Olúwa ga pẹ̀lú mi; kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí a jọ gbé orúkọ rẹ̀ lékè.
Ascribe ye greatness unto Yahweh with me, and let us exalt his Name together.
4 Èmi wá Olúwa, ó sì dá mi lóhùn; Ó sì gbà mí kúrò nínú ìbẹ̀rù mi gbogbo.
I enquired of Yahweh, and he hath answered me, And, out of all my terrors, hath he rescued me.
5 Wọ́n wò ó, ìmọ́lẹ̀ sì mọ́ wọn; ojú kò sì tì wọ́n.
They looked unto him and were radiant, And, as for their faces, let them not be abashed.
6 Ọkùnrin olùpọ́njú yí kígbe, Olúwa sì gbóhùn rẹ̀; ó sì gbà á là kúrò nínú gbogbo ìpọ́njú rẹ̀.
This, oppressed one cried, and, Yahweh, heard—and, out of all his distresses, saved him.
7 Angẹli Olúwa yí àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀ ká ó sì gbà wọ́n.
The messenger of Yahweh encampeth around them who revere him, Thus hath he delivered them.
8 Tọ́ ọ wò kí o sì rí i wí pé Olúwa dára; ẹni ayọ̀ ni ọkùnrin náà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ààbò nínú rẹ̀.
Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh, —How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him!
9 Ẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn rẹ̀ mímọ́, nítorí pé kò sí àìní fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him.
10 Àwọn ọmọ kìnnìún a máa ṣe aláìní ebi a sì máa pa wọ́n; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó wá Olúwa kì yóò ṣe aláìní ohun tí ó dára.
Young lions, have come short, and suffered hunger, but, they who seek Yahweh, shall not lack any good thing.
11 Wá, ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, fi etí sí mi; èmi yóò kọ́ ọ yín ní ẹ̀rù Olúwa.
Come, ye children! hearken unto me, The reverence of Yahweh, will I teach you.
12 Ta ni nínú yín tí ń fẹ́ ìyè, tí ó sì ń fẹ́ ọjọ́ púpọ̀; kí ó lè gbádùn ọjọ́ rere?
Who is the man that desireth life, Loving days, that he may see good?
13 Pa ahọ́n rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi àti ètè rẹ̀ kúrò ní ẹ̀tàn sísọ.
Keep thy tongue from wickedness, And thy lips from speaking deceit:
14 Yà kúrò nínú ibi kí o sì ṣe rere; wá àlàáfíà, kí o sì lépa rẹ̀.
Depart from wickedness and do good, Aim at well-being, and pursue it.
15 Ojú Olúwa ń bẹ lára àwọn olódodo; etí i rẹ̀ sì ṣí sí ẹkún wọn.
The eyes of Yahweh, are towards the righteous, And, his ears, towards their cry for help:
16 Ojú Olúwa korò sí àwọn tí ń ṣe búburú; láti ké ìrántí wọn kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
the face of Yahweh, is against such as do wickedness, To cut off, from the earth, their memory.
17 Nígbà tí olódodo bá ké fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, Olúwa a máa gbọ́, a sì yọ wọ́n jáde láti inú gbogbo wàhálà wọn.
They made outcry, and Yahweh heard, And, out of all their straits, hath he rescued them.
18 Olúwa súnmọ́ etí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn oníròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn; ó sì gba irú àwọn tí í ṣe oníròra ọkàn là.
Near is Yahweh, to the broken in heart, And, the crushed in spirit, will he save.
19 Ìpọ́njú àwọn olódodo pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa gbà wọ́n kúrò nínú gbogbo rẹ̀.
Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, But, out of them all, doth Yahweh rescue him.
20 Ó pa gbogbo egungun wọn mọ́; kò sí ọ̀kan tí ó dá nínú wọn.
Keeping all his bones, Not, one from among them, is broken.
21 Ibi ni ó mú ikú ìkà wá, àti àwọn tí ó kórìíra olódodo ni yóò jẹ̀bi.
Misfortune shall be the death of the lawless one, And, the haters of the righteous man, shall be held guilty.
22 Olúwa ra ọkàn àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ padà; kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé tí yóò jẹ̀bi.
Yahweh ransometh the soul of his servants, And none shall be held guilty, who seek refuge in him.
