< Psalms 35 >
1 Ti Dafidi. Olúwa, gbógun ti àwọn tí ń gbóguntì mí; kí o sì kọ ojú ìjà sí àwọn tí ó ń bá mi í jà!
A Psalme of Dauid. Pleade thou my cause, O Lord, with them that striue with me: fight thou against them, that fight against me.
2 Di asà àti àpáta mú, kí o sì dìde fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi!
Lay hand vpon the shielde and buckler, and stand vp for mine helpe.
3 Fa idà àti ọ̀kọ̀ yọ kí o sì dojúkọ àwọn tí ń lé mi. Sọ fún ọkàn mi pé, “Èmi ni ìgbàlà rẹ.”
Bring out also the speare and stop the way against them, that persecute me: say vnto my soule, I am thy saluation.
4 Kí wọn kí ó dààmú, kí a sì ti àwọn tí ń lépa ọkàn mi lójú; kí a sì mú wọn padà, kí a sì dààmú àwọn tí ń gbèrò ìpalára mi.
Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seeke after my soule: let them be turned backe, and brought to confusion, that imagine mine hurt.
5 Jẹ́ kí wọn dàbí ìyàngbò níwájú afẹ́fẹ́, kí angẹli Olúwa kí ó máa lé wọn kiri.
Let them be as chaffe before the winde, and let the Angel of the Lord scatter them.
6 Jẹ́ kí ọ̀nà wọn kí ó ṣókùnkùn, kí ó sì máa yọ́, kí angẹli Olúwa kí ó máa lépa wọn!
Let their way be darke and slipperie: and let the Angel of the Lord persecute them.
7 Nítorí pé, ní àìnídìí ni wọ́n dẹ àwọ̀n wọn sílẹ̀ fún mi, ní àìnídìí ni wọ́n wa kòtò sílẹ̀ fún ọkàn mi.
For without cause they haue hid the pit and their net for me: without cause haue they digged a pit for my soule.
8 Kí ìparun kí ó wá sí orí rẹ̀ ní òjijì. Àwọ̀n rẹ̀ tí ó dẹ, kí ó mú òun tìkára rẹ̀; kí wọn ṣubú sínú kòtò sí ìparun ara rẹ̀.
Let destruction come vpon him at vnwares, and let his net, that he hath laid priuilie, take him: let him fall into the same destruction.
9 Nígbà náà ni ọkàn mi yóò yọ̀ nínú Olúwa, àní, yóò sì máa yọ̀ nínú ìgbàlà rẹ̀.
Then my soule shalbe ioyfull in the Lord: it shall reioyce in his saluation.
10 Gbogbo egungun mi yóò wí pé, “Ta ni ó dàbí ì ìwọ Olúwa? O gba tálákà lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó lágbára jù ú lọ, tálákà àti aláìní lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí ń fi ṣe ìkógun?”
All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like vnto thee, which deliuerest the poore from him, that is too strong for him! yea, the poore and him that is in miserie, from him that spoyleth him!
11 Àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí èké dìde; wọ́n ń bi mi ní ohun tí èmi kò mọ̀.
Cruell witnesses did rise vp: they asked of me things that I knewe not.
12 Wọ́n fi búburú san ìre fún mi; láti sọ ọkàn mi di òfo.
They rewarded me euill for good, to haue spoyled my soule.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti èmi ni, nígbà tí wọn ń ṣe àìsàn, mo wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀; mo fi àwẹ̀ pọ́n ara mi lójú. Mo gba àdúrà pẹ̀lú ìtẹríba ní oókan àyà mi;
Yet I, when they were sicke, I was clothed with a sacke: I humbled my soule with fasting: and my praier was turned vpon my bosome.
14 èmí ń lọ kiri bí ẹni ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ bí i ẹni wí pé fún ọ̀rẹ́ tàbí ẹ̀gbọ́n mi ni. Èmí tẹríba nínú ìbànújẹ́ bí ẹni tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ ìyà rẹ̀.
I behaued my selfe as to my friend, or as to my brother: I humbled my selfe, mourning as one that bewaileth his mother.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n nínú ìkọ̀sẹ̀ mi wọ́n sì yọ̀, wọ́n sì kó ara wọn jọ; wọ́n kó ara wọn jọ sí mi; àní àwọn tí èmi kò mọ̀. Wọ́n fà mí ya wọ́n kò sì dákẹ́.
But in mine aduersitie they reioyced, and gathered them selues together: the abiects assembled themselues against me, and knewe not: they tare me and ceased not,
16 Bí àwọn àgàbàgebè tí ń ṣe ẹlẹ́yà ní àpèjẹ wọ́n pa eyín wọn keke sí mi.
With the false skoffers at bankets, gnashing their teeth against me.
17 Yóò ti pẹ́ tó Olúwa, tí ìwọ yóò máa wò wọ́n lọ? Yọ mí kúrò nínú ìparun wọn, àní ẹ̀mí ì mi kúrò lọ́wọ́ kìnnìún.
Lord, how long wilt thou beholde this? deliuer my soule from their tumult, euen my desolate soule from the lions.
18 Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò ṣọpẹ́ fún Ọ nínú àjọ ńlá; èmi yóò máa yìn Ọ́ ní àwùjọ ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn.
So will I giue thee thankes in a great Congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí àwọn ọ̀tá mi kí ó yọ̀ lórí ì mi; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí o má ṣe àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi ní àìnídìí máa ṣẹ́jú sí mi.
Let not them that are mine enemies, vniustly reioyce ouer mee, neyther let them winke with the eye, that hate mee without a cause.
20 Nítorí pé wọn kò sọ ọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n lóyún ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn sí àwọn ènìyàn dídákẹ́ ilẹ̀ náà.
For they speake not as friendes: but they imagine deceitfull woordes against the quiet of the lande.
21 Wọ́n ya ẹnu wọn gbòòrò sí mi; wọ́n wí pé, “Háà! Háà! Ojú wa sì ti rí i.”
And they gaped on mee with their mouthes, saying, Aha, aha, our eye hath seene.
22 Ìwọ́ ti rí i Olúwa; má ṣe dákẹ́! Olúwa má ṣe jìnnà sí mi!
Thou hast seene it, O Lord: keepe not silence: be not farre from me, O Lord.
23 Dìde! ru ara rẹ̀ sókè fún ààbò mi, àti sí ọ̀ràn mi, Ọlọ́run mi àti Olúwa mi!
Arise and wake to my iudgement, euen to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
24 Ṣe ìdájọ́ mi, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo rẹ, kí o má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó yọ̀ lórí mi!
Iudge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousnesse, and let them not reioyce ouer mee.
25 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí wọn wí nínú ara wọn pé, “Háà! A ti rí ohun tí ọkàn wa ń fẹ́!” Má ṣe jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó wí pé, “A ti gbé e mì.”
Let them not say in their hearts, O our soule reioyce: neither let them say, We haue deuoured him.
26 Kí ojú kí ó tì wọ́n, kí wọn kí ó sì dààmú pọ̀, àní àwọn tí ń yọ̀ sí ìyọnu mi kí a fi ìtìjú àti àbùkù wọ̀ wọ́n ní aṣọ tí ń gbéraga sí mi.
Let them bee confounded, and put to shame together, that reioyce at mine hurt: let them bee clothed with confusion and shame, that lift vp themselues against me.
27 Jẹ́ kí àwọn tí ó fẹ́ ìdáláre mi fò fún ayọ̀ àti ìdùnnú; kí wọn máa sọ ọ́ títí lọ, “Pé gbígbéga ni Olúwa, sí àlàáfíà ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.”
But let them be ioyful and glad, that loue my righteousnesse: yea, let them say alway, Let the Lord be magnified, which loueth the prosperitie of his seruant.
28 Nígbà náà ni ahọ́n mi yóò máa sọ̀rọ̀ òdodo rẹ, àti ìyìn rẹ ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
And my tongue shall vtter thy righteousnesse, and thy praise euery day.
