Psalms 44
1 Fún adarí orin. Ti àwọn ọmọ Kora. Maskili. À ti fi etí wa gbọ́, Ọlọ́run; àwọn baba wa tí sọ fún wa ohun tí ìwọ ṣe ní ọjọ́ wọn, ní ọjọ́ pípẹ́ sẹ́yìn.
For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.
2 Ìwọ fi ọwọ́ rẹ lé orílẹ̀-èdè jáde, Ìwọ sì gbin àwọn baba wa; ìwọ run àwọn ènìyàn náà Ìwọ sì mú àwọn baba wa gbilẹ̀.
With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
3 Kì í ṣe nípa idà wọn ni wọ́n gba ilẹ̀ náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í ṣe apá wọn ní ó gbà wọ́n bí kò ṣe; ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ àti, apá rẹ; àti ìmọ́lẹ̀ ojú rẹ̀, nítorí ìwọ fẹ́ wọn.
For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
4 Ìwọ ni ọba àti Ọlọ́run mi, ẹni tí ó pàṣẹ ìṣẹ́gun fún Jakọbu.
You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.
5 Nípasẹ̀ rẹ ni àwa ó bi àwọn ọ̀tá wa ṣubú; nípasẹ̀ orúkọ rẹ ni àwa ó tẹ àwọn ọ̀tá tí ó dìde sí wa mọ́lẹ̀,
Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
6 èmi kì yóò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọrun mi, idà mi kì yóò mú ìṣẹ́gun lórí àwọn ọ̀tá wá,
For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
7 ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ fún wa ní ìṣẹ́gun lórí àwọn ọ̀tá wa, ìwọ sì ti dójúti àwọn tí ó kórìíra wa.
For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.
8 Nínú Ọlọ́run àwa ń ṣògo ní gbogbo ọjọ́, àwa ó sì yin orúkọ rẹ títí láé. (Sela)
In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ìwọ ti kọ̀ wá, ìwọ sì ti dójútì wá, Ìwọ kò sì bá àwọn ọmọ-ogun wa jáde mọ́.
But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
10 Ìwọ ti bá wa jà, ìwọ sì ti ṣẹ́gun wa níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá wa, àwọn ọ̀tá wa ti gba ilẹ̀ wa, wọ́n sì fi ipá gba oko wa.
You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
11 Ìwọ fi wá fún jíjẹ bí ẹran àgùntàn, Ìwọ sì ti tú wa ká sí àárín àwọn kèfèrí.
You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
12 Ìwọ ta àwọn ènìyàn rẹ fún owó kékeré, Ìwọ kò sì jẹ èrè kankan lórí iye tí ìwọ tà wọ́n.
You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
13 Ìwọ sọ wá di ẹni ẹ̀sín ní ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn aládùúgbò wa, ẹlẹ́yà àti ẹni àbùkù sí àwọn tí ó yí wa ká.
You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
14 Ìwọ ti sọ wá di ẹni ìfisọ̀rọ̀ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè; àwọn ènìyàn ń mi orí wọn sí wa.
You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
15 Ìdójútì mi ń bẹ pẹ̀lú mi ní gbogbo ọjọ́, ìtìjú sì bojú mi mọ́lẹ̀,
All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
16 nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀gàn àti ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn ní ojú àwọn ọ̀tá àti olùgbẹ̀san.
at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
17 Gbogbo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí wa, síbẹ̀ àwa kò gbàgbé rẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò ṣèké sí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀.
All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
18 Ọkàn wa kò padà sẹ́yìn; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹsẹ̀ wa kò yẹ̀ kúrò ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀.
Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n kọlù wá, ìwọ sì sọ wá di ẹran ọdẹ fún àwọn ẹranko búburú, tí wọn sì fi òkùnkùn biribiri bò wá mọ́lẹ̀.
But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
20 Bí àwa bá ti gbàgbé orúkọ Ọlọ́run wa tàbí tí a na ọwọ́ wa sí ọlọ́run àjèjì.
If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21 Ǹjẹ́ Ọlọ́run kì yóò rí ìdí rẹ̀, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ó mọ ohun ìkọ̀kọ̀ inú ọkàn?
would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?
22 Síbẹ̀, nítorí rẹ̀ àwa da àyà kọ ikú, ní ojoojúmọ́ a ń kà wá sí bí àgùntàn fún pípa.
Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Jí, Olúwa! Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń sùn? Dìde fúnra rẹ̀! Má ṣe kọ̀ wá sílẹ̀ láéláé.
Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
24 Èéṣe tí ìwọ ń pa ojú rẹ mọ́ tí ìwọ sì gbàgbé ìpọ́njú àti ìnira wa?
Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
25 Nítorí a tẹrí ọkàn wa ba sínú eruku; ara wa sì dì mọ́ erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀.
For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
26 Dìde kí o sì ràn wá lọ́wọ́; rà wá padà nítorí ìfẹ́ rẹ tí ó dúró ṣinṣin.
Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
