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.
TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. As a deer pants for streams of water, So my soul pants toward You, O God.
2 Òùngbẹ Ọlọ́run ń gbẹ ọkàn mi, fún Ọlọ́run alààyè. Nígbà wo ni èmi ó lọ bá Ọlọ́run?
My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of 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 tear has been bread day and night to me, In their saying to me all the day, “Where [is] your 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 I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the shelter, I go softly with them to the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping celebration!
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 bow yourself, O my soul? Indeed, are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him: The salvation of my countenance—my God!
6 Ọlọ́run mi, ọkàn mi ń rẹ̀wẹ̀sì nínú mi: nítorí náà, èmi ó rántí rẹ láti ilẹ̀ Jordani wá, láti Hermoni láti òkè Mibsari.
My soul bows itself in me, Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from Mount Mizar.
7 Ibú omi ń pe ibú omi nípa híhó omi ṣíṣàn rẹ̀ gbogbo rírú omi àti bíbì omi rẹ̀ bò mí mọ́lẹ̀.
Deep is calling to deep At the noise of Your waterspouts, All Your breakers and Your billows passed over me.
8 Ní ọ̀sán ní Olúwa ran ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, àti ni àṣálẹ́ ni orin rẹ̀ wà pẹ̀lú mi àdúrà sí Ọlọ́run ayé mi.
By day YHWH commands His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, 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 say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning in the oppression of an 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?”
With a sword in my bones My adversaries have reproached me, In their saying to me all the day, “Where [is] your 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 bow yourself, O my soul? And why are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
