Psalms 48
1 Orin. Saamu ti àwọn ọmọ Kora. Ẹni ńlá ní Olúwa, tí ó sì yẹ láti máa yìn ní ìlú Ọlọ́run wa, lórí òkè mímọ́ rẹ̀.
A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Ó dára nínú ipò ìtẹ́ rẹ̀, ayọ̀ gbogbo ayé, òkè Sioni, ní ìhà àríwá ní ìlú ọba ńlá.
Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.
3 Ọlọ́run wà nínú ààbò ààfin rẹ̀; ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn láti jẹ́ odi alágbára.
In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.
4 Nígbà tí àwọn ọba kógun jọ pọ̀, wọ́n jùmọ̀ ń kọjá lọ.
For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.
5 Wọn rí i, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnu sì yà wọ́n, a yọ wọ́n lẹ́nu, wọ́n yára lọ.
They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.
6 Ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n níbẹ̀, ìrora gẹ́gẹ́ bí obìnrin tí ó wà nínú ìrọbí.
Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.
7 Ìwọ bà wọ́n jẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkọ̀ orí omi Tarṣiṣi, wọ́n fọ́nká láti ọwọ́ ìjì ìlà-oòrùn.
By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.
8 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ṣe gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa rí, ní inú Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ní ìlú Ọlọ́run wa, Ọlọ́run jẹ́ kí ó wà ní abẹ́ ààbò títí láéláé. (Sela)
As it came to our ears so have we seen it, in the town of the Lord of armies, in the town of our God; God will keep it fixed for ever. (Selah)
9 Láàrín tẹmpili rẹ, Ọlọ́run, àwa ti ń sọ ti ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ.
Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.
10 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ rẹ Ọlọ́run, ìyìn rẹ̀ dé òpin ayé, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ kún fún òdodo.
As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Jẹ́ kí òkè Sioni kí ó yọ̀ kí inú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Juda kí ó dùn nítorí ìdájọ́ rẹ.
Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.
12 Rìn Sioni kiri lọ yíká rẹ̀, ka ilé ìṣọ́ rẹ̀.
Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.
13 Kíyèsi odi rẹ̀, kíyèsi àwọn ààfin rẹ̀ kí ẹ̀yin lè máa wí fún ìran tí ń bọ̀.
Take note of its strong walls, looking well at its fair buildings; so that you may give word of it to the generation which comes after.
14 Nítorí Ọlọ́run yìí Ọlọ́run wà ní títí ayé, Òun ni yóò ṣe amọ̀nà wa títí dè òpin ayé.
Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide.
