< Psalms 5 >

1 Fún adarí orin. Fún ohun èlò orin fífọn. Saamu ti Dafidi. Fi etí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi, Olúwa, kíyèsi àròyé mi.
For the leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute. Hear my words, Lord: give heed to my whisper.
2 Fi etí sílẹ̀ sí igbe mi fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ọba mi àti Ọlọ́run mi, nítorí ìwọ ni mo gba àdúrà sí.
Attend to my loud cry for help, my king and my God.
3 Ní òwúrọ̀, Olúwa, ìwọ yóò gbọ́ ohùn mi; ní òwúrọ̀, èmi yóò gbé ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi sí iwájú rẹ̀ èmi yóò sì dúró ní ìrètí.
When I pray to you, Lord, in the morning, hear my voice. I make ready for you in the morning, and look for a sign.
4 Nítorí ìwọ kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run tí ó ní inú dídùn sí búburú; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni ibi kò le è bá ọ gbé.
For you are no God who takes pleasure in wickedness: no one of evil can be your guest.
5 Àwọn agbéraga kò le è dúró níwájú rẹ̀. Ìwọ kórìíra gbogbo àwọn aṣebi;
No braggarts can stand in your presence, you hate all workers of wrong.
6 ìwọ yóò pa àwọn tí ń ṣe èké run. Apani àti ẹni ẹ̀tàn ènìyàn ni Olúwa yóò kórìíra.
You destroy all speakers of lies, people of blood and deceit you abhor.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi, nípa títóbi àánú rẹ̀, èmi yóò wá sínú ilé rẹ̀; ní tọ̀wọ̀tọ̀wọ̀ ni èmi yóò tẹríba sí ìhà tẹmpili mímọ́ rẹ̀.
But I, through your kindness abundant, may enter your house, and towards the shrine of your temple may reverently bow.
8 Tọ́ mi, Olúwa, nínú òdodo rẹ, nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi, mú ọ̀nà rẹ tọ́ níwájú mi.
Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way level before me.
9 Kò sí ọ̀rọ̀ kan ní ẹnu wọn tí a lè gbàgbọ́; ọkàn wọn kún fún ìparun. Ọ̀nà ọ̀fun wọn ni isà òkú tí ó ṣí sílẹ̀; pẹ̀lú ahọ́n wọn ni wọ́n ń sọ ẹ̀tàn.
For their mouth is a stranger to truth, their heart is a pit of destruction. Their throat is a wide open grave, their tongue the smooth tongue of the hypocrite.
10 Dá wọn lẹ́bi Ọlọ́run! Jẹ́ kí rìkíṣí wọn jẹ́ ìṣubú wọn. Lé wọn jáde nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, nítorí wọ́n ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí ọ.
Condemn them, God; let their schemes bring them down to the ground. For their numberless crimes thrust them down for playing the rebel against you.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n, jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn tí ó sádi ọ́ kí ó yọ̀; jẹ kí wọn máa kọrin fún ayọ̀ títí. Tan ààbò rẹ sórí wọn, àti àwọn tí ó fẹ́ràn orúkọ rẹ yóò máa yọ̀ nínú rẹ.
But let all who take refuge in you ring out their gladness forever. Protect those who love your name, so they may exult in you.
12 Dájúdájú, Olúwa, ìwọ bùkún olódodo; ìwọ fi ojúrere rẹ yí wọn ká bí asà.
For you give your blessing, Lord, to the godly, and the shield of your favour protects them.
