Psalms 41

1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu Dafidi. Ìbùkún ni fún ẹni tí ó ń ro ti aláìní: Olúwa yóò gbà á ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú.

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

2 Olúwa yóò dáàbò bò ó yóò sì pa ọkàn rẹ̀ mọ́: yóò bùkún fún un ní orí ilẹ̀ kò sì ní fi sílẹ̀ fún ìfẹ́ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.

Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!

3 Olúwa yóò gbà á lórí àkéte àìsàn rẹ̀ yóò sì mú un padà bọ̀ sípò kúrò nínú àìsàn rẹ̀.

Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.

4 Ní ti èmi, mo wí pé “Olúwa, ṣàánú fún mi; wò mí sàn, nítorí pé mo ti ṣẹ̀ sí ọ”.

I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:

5 Àwọn ọ̀tá mi ń sọ̀rọ̀ mi nínú àrankàn, pé, “Nígbà wo ni yóò kú, ti orúkọ rẹ̀ yóò sì run?”

Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?

6 Nígbàkígbà tí ẹnìkan bá wá wò mí, wọn ń sọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn, nígbà tí àyà rẹ̀ bá kó ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jọ sí ara rẹ̀; nígbà tí ó bá jáde lọ yóò sì máa tàn án kálẹ̀.

And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.

7 Àwọn ọ̀tá mi gbìmọ̀ papọ̀ nípa mi; èmi ni wọ́n ń gbìmọ̀ ibi sí,

Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.

8 wọ́n wí pé, “Ohun búburú ni ó dì mọ́ ọn ṣinṣin àti ní ibi tí ó dùbúlẹ̀ sí, kì yóò dìde mọ́.”

An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

9 Pàápàá, ọ̀rẹ́ mi tímọ́tímọ́, ẹni tí mo gbẹ́kẹ̀lé, ẹni tí ó ń jẹ nínú oúnjẹ mi, tí gbé gìgísẹ̀ rẹ̀ sókè sí mi.

Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified his heel against me!

10 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ Olúwa, ṣàánú fún mi; gbé mi sókè, kí ń ba lè san fún wọn.

But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.

11 Èmi mọ̀ pé inú rẹ̀ dùn sí mi, nítorí ọ̀tá mi kò borí mi.

Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.

12 Bí ó ṣe tèmi ni ìwọ dì mímú nínú ìwà òtítọ́ mi ìwọ sì gbé mi kalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ títí láé.

But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.

13 Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, láé àti láéláé.

Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
