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 Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness.
2 Ó dára nínú ipò ìtẹ́ rẹ̀, ayọ̀ gbogbo ayé, òkè Sioni, ní ìhà àríwá ní ìlú ọba ńlá.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 Ọlọ́run wà nínú ààbò ààfin rẹ̀; ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn láti jẹ́ odi alágbára.
God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
4 Nígbà tí àwọn ọba kógun jọ pọ̀, wọ́n jùmọ̀ ń kọjá lọ.
For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
5 Wọn rí i, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnu sì yà wọ́n, a yọ wọ́n lẹ́nu, wọ́n yára lọ.
They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
6 Ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n níbẹ̀, ìrora gẹ́gẹ́ bí obìnrin tí ó wà nínú ìrọbí.
Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
7 Ìwọ bà wọ́n jẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkọ̀ orí omi Tarṣiṣi, wọ́n fọ́nká láti ọwọ́ ìjì ìlà-oòrùn.
With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
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 we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Láàrín tẹmpili rẹ, Ọlọ́run, àwa ti ń sọ ti ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ.
We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.
10 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ rẹ Ọlọ́run, ìyìn rẹ̀ dé òpin ayé, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ kún fún òdodo.
According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy 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 mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Rìn Sioni kiri lọ yíká rẹ̀, ka ilé ìṣọ́ rẹ̀.
Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;
13 Kíyèsi odi rẹ̀, kíyèsi àwọn ààfin rẹ̀ kí ẹ̀yin lè máa wí fún ìran tí ń bọ̀.
Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 Nítorí Ọlọ́run yìí Ọlọ́run wà ní títí ayé, Òun ni yóò ṣe amọ̀nà wa títí dè òpin ayé.
For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
