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 psalm of David.” Contend, O LORD! with them that contend with me! Fight against them that fight against me!
2 Di asà àti àpáta mú, kí o sì dìde fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi!
Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help!
3 Fa idà àti ọ̀kọ̀ yọ kí o sì dojúkọ àwọn tí ń lé mi. Sọ fún ọkàn mi pé, “Èmi ni ìgbàlà rẹ.”
Draw forth the spear and the axe against my persecutors; Say to me, “I am thy salvation.”
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.
May they be confounded and put to shame, who seek my life; May they be turned back with disgrace, who devise my hurt!
5 Jẹ́ kí wọn dàbí ìyàngbò níwájú afẹ́fẹ́, kí angẹli Olúwa kí ó máa lé wọn kiri.
May they be like dust before the wind; May the angel of the LORD drive them!
6 Jẹ́ kí ọ̀nà wọn kí ó ṣókùnkùn, kí ó sì máa yọ́, kí angẹli Olúwa kí ó máa lépa wọn!
May their way be dark and slippery, And may the angel of the LORD pursue 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 have laid for me a snare; Without cause they have digged for me a pit.
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.
May unforeseen destruction come upon them! May the snare which they have laid lay hold on themselves, And may they fall into destruction!
9 Nígbà náà ni ọkàn mi yóò yọ̀ nínú Olúwa, àní, yóò sì máa yọ̀ nínú ìgbàlà rẹ̀.
Then shall my soul rejoice in the LORD; It shall exult in his protection.
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, Who, O LORD! is like thee, Who dost rescue the afflicted from the oppressor, The afflicted and destitute from the spoiler?
11 Àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí èké dìde; wọ́n ń bi mi ní ohun tí èmi kò mọ̀.
False witnesses have risen up; They charge me with that which has not entered my mind.
12 Wọ́n fi búburú san ìre fún mi; láti sọ ọkàn mi di òfo.
They repay me evil for good; They cause bereavement to my soul.
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;
And yet I, during their sickness, clothed myself with sackcloth, And afflicted myself with fasting; And my prayer was turned to my bosom.
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 behaved myself as if he had been my friend or brother; I bowed down in sadness, as one mourning for 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 at my fall they rejoice, and gather themselves together; Revilers whom I know not assemble themselves against me; They tear me without ceasing.
16 Bí àwọn àgàbàgebè tí ń ṣe ẹlẹ́yà ní àpèjẹ wọ́n pa eyín wọn keke sí mi.
With base men who mock for their bread, They gnash at me with their teeth.
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.
How long, O LORD! wilt thou look on? O rescue my life from the destruction they plot for me; My precious life from these young lions!
18 Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò ṣọpẹ́ fún Ọ nínú àjọ ńlá; èmi yóò máa yìn Ọ́ ní àwùjọ ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn.
I will thank thee in the great assembly! Before a numerous people I will praise thee.
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 my enemies wrongfully triumph over me; Let them not wink with the eye, who hate me without cause!
20 Nítorí pé wọn kò sọ ọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n lóyún ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn sí àwọn ènìyàn dídákẹ́ ilẹ̀ náà.
For they speak not peace; They devise deceit against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Wọ́n ya ẹnu wọn gbòòrò sí mi; wọ́n wí pé, “Háà! Háà! Ojú wa sì ti rí i.”
Yea, they open their mouths wide against me; They say, “Aha, aha! our eyes seeth it.”
22 Ìwọ́ ti rí i Olúwa; má ṣe dákẹ́! Olúwa má ṣe jìnnà sí mi!
Thou seest it, O LORD! be not silent! O LORD! be not far from me!
23 Dìde! ru ara rẹ̀ sókè fún ààbò mi, àti sí ọ̀ràn mi, Ọlọ́run mi àti Olúwa mi!
Arouse thyself; awake for my defence! My God and my Lord, awake to my cause!
24 Ṣe ìdájọ́ mi, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo rẹ, kí o má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó yọ̀ lórí mi!
Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Jehovah, my God! Let them not triumph over me!
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, “Aha! we have our wish!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”
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.
May they all be confounded and brought to shame, Who rejoice at my calamity! May they be clothed with ignominy and disgrace, Who exalt themselves 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.”
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; Let them ever say, “The LORD be praised, Who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant!”
28 Nígbà náà ni ahọ́n mi yóò máa sọ̀rọ̀ òdodo rẹ, àti ìyìn rẹ ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
So shall my tongue speak of thy righteousness, And daily repeat thy praise.
