< Psalms 50 >
1 Saamu ti Asafu. Olúwa, Ọlọ́run alágbára, sọ̀rọ̀ kí o sì pe ayé jọ láti ìlà-oòrùn títí dé ìwọ̀ rẹ̀.
A psalm of Asaph. The Lord, the Almighty God, speaks! He summons everyone on earth, from the east to the west.
2 Láti Sioni wá, pípé ni ẹwà, Ọlọ́run tí ń tan ìmọ́lẹ̀
God shines out of Mount Zion, perfect in beauty.
3 Ọlọ́run ń bọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò dákẹ́, iná yóò máa jó níwájú rẹ̀, àti ní àyíká rẹ̀ ni ẹ̀fúùfù líle yóò ti máa jà ká.
Our God arrives, and does not stay quiet. Fire flames before him, burning everything up; a violent storm rages around him.
4 Yóò sì pe àwọn ọ̀run láti òkè wá jọ àti ayé, kí o le máa ṣe ìdárò àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
He summons the heavens above and the earth to witness the judgment of his people.
5 “Kó àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ jọ fún mi àwọn tí wọn fi ẹbọ dá májẹ̀mú fún mi.”
“Bring me those who trust in me—those who confirmed the agreement with me through sacrifice.”
6 Àwọn ọ̀run yóò sì sọ̀rọ̀ òdodo rẹ̀, nítorí Ọlọ́run fúnra rẹ̀ ni onídàájọ́.
The heavens declare his decisions are right, for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
7 “Ẹ gbọ́, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, èmi yóò si sọ̀rọ̀, ìwọ Israẹli, èmi yóò jẹ́rìí sí ọ: èmi ní Ọlọ́run, àní Ọlọ́run rẹ.
“My people, listen to what I have to say. I am bringing charges against you, Israel. I am God, your God!
8 Èmi kí yóò bá ọ wí nítorí àwọn ìrúbọ rẹ, tàbí ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun rẹ, èyí tí ó wà níwájú mi ní ìgbà gbogbo.
I'm not complaining about your sacrifices or burnt offerings that you offer all the time.
9 Èmí kò fẹ́ kí ó mú akọ màlúù láti inú ilé tí o kọ́ fún un, tàbí kí o mú òbúkọ láti inú agbo ẹran rẹ̀
I do not require bulls from your barns or goats from your pens,
10 nítorí gbogbo ẹran igbó ni tèmi àti ẹran ọ̀sìn lórí ẹgbẹ̀rún òkè.
for I own all the animals of the forest, and the cattle on a thousand hills belong to me.
11 Èmi mọ gbogbo ẹyẹ ní orí àwọn òkè ńlá àti gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ó wà ní orí ilẹ̀ ni tèmi.
I know every bird of the mountains; all living things in the fields are mine.
12 Bí ebi tilẹ̀ ń pa mí, èmi kì yóò sọ fún ọ, nítorí ayé ni tèmi àti ohun gbogbo tí ó wa ní inú rẹ̀.
If I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you, for the earth and everything in it are mine.
13 Ǹjẹ́ èmi yóò ha jẹ ẹran akọ màlúù tàbí mú ẹ̀jẹ̀ òbúkọ?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14 “Rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ sí Ọlọ́run, kí o sì san ẹ̀jẹ́ rẹ fún Ọ̀gá-ògo.
Give an offering of thanks to God; keep the promises you made to the Most High,
15 Kí o sì pè mí ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú, èmi yóò gbà ọ́, ìwọ yóò sì bu ọlá fún mi.”
and call on me when you're in trouble. I will rescue you, and you will thank me.”
16 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run sọ fún àwọn, ènìyàn búburú: “Kí ní ẹ̀tọ́ tí o ní tí ìwọ fi ń tún àwọn ìlànà mi sọ, tàbí tí ìwọ sì ń sọ májẹ̀mú mi ní ẹnu rẹ?
But to the wicked God says, “What's the point of mechanically repeating my laws or making empty promises about obeying the agreement?
17 Ìwọ kórìíra àṣẹ mi, ìwọ sì ṣá ọ̀rọ̀ mí tì sí apá kan.
You hate my discipline, and you toss my words away, leaving them behind you.
18 Nígbà tí ìwọ rí olè, ìwọ dára pọ̀ mọ́ ọn, ìwọ sì da ara rẹ dé àwọn alágbèrè.
When you see people stealing, you admire them; you associate with adulterers.
19 Ìwọ lo ẹnu rẹ fún aburú, ìwọ sì ń fi ahọ́n rẹ pète ẹ̀tàn.
With your mouth you say evil things; you use your tongue to spread lies.
20 Ní ìgbà gbogbo ìwọ ń sọ̀rọ̀ sí arákùnrin rẹ, ìwọ sì ń ba orúkọ ọmọ ìyá rẹ jẹ́.
You sit there and speak against your brother, slandering your own mother's son.
21 Àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ìwọ ti ṣe, mo sì dákẹ́; ìwọ rò pé mo jẹ́ irú kan náà bí ìrẹ, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò bá ọ wí, èmi yóò sì fi ẹ̀sùn kàn ọ́ ní ojú ara rẹ.
I kept quiet when you did these things. You thought I was someone just like you. But now I confront you, and bring my charges against you.
22 “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ro èyí wò, ẹ̀yin tí ó gbàgbé Ọlọ́run. Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ èmi yóò fa yin ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ, láìsí ẹni tí yóò gbà yin sílẹ̀.
Think again, you people who dismiss God, or I will tear you apart, and no-one will be able to save you.
23 Ẹni tí ó ba ní ẹbọ ọrẹ-ọpẹ́ bu ọlá fún mi; kí ó sì tún ọ̀nà rẹ̀ ṣe, kí èmi kí ó le fi ìgbàlà Ọlọ́run hàn án.”
But those who give an offering of thanks honor me, and to those who follow the right I will show them the salvation of God.”
