< 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 God of gods — Jehovah — hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
2 Láti Sioni wá, pípé ni ẹwà, Ọlọ́run tí ń tan ìmọ́lẹ̀
From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
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 cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
4 Yóò sì pe àwọn ọ̀run láti òkè wá jọ àti ayé, kí o le máa ṣe ìdárò àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
5 “Kó àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ jọ fún mi àwọn tí wọn fi ẹbọ dá májẹ̀mú fún mi.”
Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
6 Àwọn ọ̀run yóò sì sọ̀rọ̀ òdodo rẹ̀, nítorí Ọlọ́run fúnra rẹ̀ ni onídàájọ́.
And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] 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.
Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.
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.
Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
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 take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
10 nítorí gbogbo ẹran igbó ni tèmi àti ẹran ọ̀sìn lórí ẹgbẹ̀rún òkè.
For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
11 Èmi mọ gbogbo ẹyẹ ní orí àwọn òkè ńlá àti gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ó wà ní orí ilẹ̀ ni tèmi.
I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
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 am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
13 Ǹjẹ́ èmi yóò ha jẹ ẹran akọ màlúù tàbí mú ẹ̀jẹ̀ òbúkọ?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
14 “Rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ sí Ọlọ́run, kí o sì san ẹ̀jẹ́ rẹ fún Ọ̀gá-ògo.
Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
15 Kí o sì pè mí ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú, èmi yóò gbà ọ́, ìwọ yóò sì bu ọlá fún mi.”
And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest 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?
And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
17 Ìwọ kórìíra àṣẹ mi, ìwọ sì ṣá ọ̀rọ̀ mí tì sí apá kan.
Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
18 Nígbà tí ìwọ rí olè, ìwọ dára pọ̀ mọ́ ọn, ìwọ sì da ara rẹ dé àwọn alágbèrè.
If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
19 Ìwọ lo ẹnu rẹ fún aburú, ìwọ sì ń fi ahọ́n rẹ pète ẹ̀tàn.
Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
20 Ní ìgbà gbogbo ìwọ ń sọ̀rọ̀ sí arákùnrin rẹ, ìwọ sì ń ba orúkọ ọmọ ìyá rẹ jẹ́.
Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
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.
These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.
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.
Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
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.”
He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
