Psalms 42
1 Fún adarí orin. Maskili ti àwọn ọmọ Kora. Bí àgbọ̀nrín ti ń mí hẹlẹ sí ipa odò omi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọkàn mi ń mí hẹlẹ sí ọ Ọlọ́run.
As the hart pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants after thee, O God.
2 Òùngbẹ Ọlọ́run ń gbẹ ọkàn mi, fún Ọlọ́run alààyè. Nígbà wo ni èmi ó lọ bá Ọlọ́run?
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3 Oúnjẹ mi ni omijé mi ní ọ̀sán àti ní òru, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn ń wí fún mi ní gbogbo ọjọ́ pé, “Ọlọ́run rẹ dà?”
My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, Where is thy God?
4 Nígbà tí mo bá rántí nǹkan yìí, èmi tú ọkàn mi jáde nínú mi: èmi ti bá ọ̀pọ̀ ìjọ ènìyàn lọ, èmi bá wọn lọ sí ilé Ọlọ́run pẹ̀lú ohùn ayọ̀ àti ìyìn, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tí ń pa ọjọ́ mímọ́ mọ́.
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.
5 Èéṣe tí o fi ń rẹ̀wẹ̀sì, ìwọ ọkàn mi? Èéṣe tí ara rẹ kò fi lélẹ̀ nínú mi? Ìwọ ṣe ìrètí ní ti Ọlọ́run, nítorí èmi yóò sá à máa yìn ín, Olùgbàlà mi àti Ọlọ́run mi.
Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
6 Ọlọ́run mi, ọkàn mi ń rẹ̀wẹ̀sì nínú mi: nítorí náà, èmi ó rántí rẹ láti ilẹ̀ Jordani wá, láti Hermoni láti òkè Mibsari.
O my God, my soul is cast down within me. Therefore I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
7 Ibú omi ń pe ibú omi nípa híhó omi ṣíṣàn rẹ̀ gbogbo rírú omi àti bíbì omi rẹ̀ bò mí mọ́lẹ̀.
Deep calls to deep at the noise of thy waterfalls. All thy waves and thy billows have gone over me.
8 Ní ọ̀sán ní Olúwa ran ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, àti ni àṣálẹ́ ni orin rẹ̀ wà pẹ̀lú mi àdúrà sí Ọlọ́run ayé mi.
Yet Jehovah will command his loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, even a prayer to the God of my life.
9 Èmi wí fún Ọlọ́run àpáta mi, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi gbàgbé mi? Èéṣe tí èmi o fi máa rìn nínú ìbànújẹ́, nítorí ìnilára ọ̀tá?”
I will say to God my rock, Why have thou forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 Bí ẹni pé idà egungun mi ni ẹ̀gàn tí àwọn ọ̀tá mi ń gàn mí, bí wọn ti ń béèrè ní gbogbo ọjọ́. “Níbo ni Ọlọ́run rẹ wà?”
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me; while they continually say to me, Where is thy God?
11 Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń rẹ̀wẹ̀sì, ìwọ ọkàn mi? Èéṣe tí ara rẹ kò fi lélẹ̀ nínú mi? Fi ìrètí rẹ sínú Ọlọ́run, nítorí èmi yóò sì máa yìn ín, Òun ni Olùgbàlà mi àti Ọlọ́run mi.
Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him, the help of my countenance, and my God.
