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.
By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] 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 Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.
3 Gbé Olúwa ga pẹ̀lú mi; kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí a jọ gbé orúkọ rẹ̀ lékè.
Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.
4 Èmi wá Olúwa, ó sì dá mi lóhùn; Ó sì gbà mí kúrò nínú ìbẹ̀rù mi gbogbo.
I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.
5 Wọ́n wò ó, ìmọ́lẹ̀ sì mọ́ wọn; ojú kò sì tì wọ́n.
They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
6 Ọkùnrin olùpọ́njú yí kígbe, Olúwa sì gbóhùn rẹ̀; ó sì gbà á là kúrò nínú gbogbo ìpọ́njú rẹ̀.
This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.
7 Angẹli Olúwa yí àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀ ká ó sì gbà wọ́n.
A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth 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.
Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
9 Ẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn rẹ̀ mímọ́, nítorí pé kò sí àìní fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing 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 lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,
11 Wá, ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, fi etí sí mi; èmi yóò kọ́ ọ yín ní ẹ̀rù Olúwa.
Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do 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 is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
13 Pa ahọ́n rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi àti ètè rẹ̀ kúrò ní ẹ̀tàn sísọ.
Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
14 Yà kúrò nínú ibi kí o sì ṣe rere; wá àlàáfíà, kí o sì lépa rẹ̀.
Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
15 Ojú Olúwa ń bẹ lára àwọn olódodo; etí i rẹ̀ sì ṣí sí ẹkún wọn.
The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.
16 Ojú Olúwa korò sí àwọn tí ń ṣe búburú; láti ké ìrántí wọn kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
(The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)
17 Nígbà tí olódodo bá ké fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, Olúwa a máa gbọ́, a sì yọ wọ́n jáde láti inú gbogbo wàhálà wọn.
They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.
18 Olúwa súnmọ́ etí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn oníròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn; ó sì gba irú àwọn tí í ṣe oníròra ọkàn là.
Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.
19 Ìpọ́njú àwọn olódodo pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa gbà wọ́n kúrò nínú gbogbo rẹ̀.
Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.
20 Ó pa gbogbo egungun wọn mọ́; kò sí ọ̀kan tí ó dá nínú wọn.
He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
21 Ibi ni ó mú ikú ìkà wá, àti àwọn tí ó kórìíra olódodo ni yóò jẹ̀bi.
Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
22 Olúwa ra ọkàn àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ padà; kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé tí yóò jẹ̀bi.
Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
