Psalms 59
1 Fún adarí orin. Tí ohùn orin “Má ṣe parun.” Ti Dafidi. Miktamu. Nígbà tí Saulu rán àwọn olùṣọ́ sí ilé Dafidi kí òun bá le rí i pa. Gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá à mi, Ọlọ́run; dáàbò bò mí kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn tí ó dìde sí mi.
To the chief music-maker; put to At-tashheth. Michtam. Of David. When Saul sent, and they were watching the house, to put him to death. Take me out of the hands of the cruel ones, O my God; keep me safe from those who come up against me.
2 Gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn oníṣẹ́ búburú kí o sì gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn tí ń pòǹgbẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀.
Take me out of the power of the workers of evil, and keep me safe from the men of blood.
3 Wò ó, bí wọ́n ṣe ba ní bùba dè mí! Àwọn alágbára ń gbìmọ̀ lòdì sí mi kì í ṣe nítorí ìrékọjá mi tàbí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mí, Olúwa.
For see, they are watching in secret for my soul; the strong have come together against me? but not because of my sin, or my evil-doing, O Lord.
4 Èmi kò ṣe àìṣedéédéé kan, síbẹ̀ wọ́n sáré wọ́n ṣetán láti kọlù mí. Dìde fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi, kí o sì wo àìlera mi.
For no sin of mine they go quickly and get themselves ready; be awake and come to my help, and see.
5 Olúwa Ọlọ́run Alágbára, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, dìde fún ara rẹ kí o sì bá àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wí; má ṣe ṣàánú fún àwọn olùrékọjá búburú nì. (Sela)
You, O Lord God of armies, are the God of Israel; come now and give punishment to the nations; have no mercy on any workers of deceit. (Selah)
6 Wọ́n padà ní àṣálẹ́, wọ́n ń gbó bí àwọn ajá, wọ́n ń rìn yí ìlú náà káàkiri.
They come back in the evening; they make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.
7 Kíyèsi ohun tí wọ́n tú jáde ní ẹnu: wọn ń tú idà jáde láti ètè wọn, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ta ni ó lè gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wa?”
See, hate is dropping from their lips; curses are on their tongues: they say, Who gives attention to it?
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Olúwa, yóò fi wọ́n rẹ́rìn-ín, Ìwọ ó yọ ṣùtì sí gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
But you are laughing at them, O Lord; you will make sport of all the nations.
9 Ìwọ agbára mi, èmi ó máa kọrin ìyìn sí ọ; nítorí ìwọ Ọlọ́run ni ààbò mi,
O my strength, I will put my hope in you; because God is my strong tower.
10 Ọlọ́run àánú mi ni yóò ṣáájú mi. Ọlọ́run yóò sì jẹ́ kí èmi rí ìfẹ́ mi lára àwọn ọ̀tá mi. Yóò sì jẹ́ kí n yọ ayọ̀ ìṣẹ́gun lórí ìfẹ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi.
The God of my mercy will go before me: God will let me see my desire effected on my haters.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n má ṣe pa wọ́n, Olúwa asà wa, kí àwọn ènìyàn mi má ba à gbàgbé. Nínú agbára rẹ, jẹ́ kí wọn máa rìn kiri, kí o sì rẹ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀.
Put them not to death, for so my people will keep the memory of them: let them be sent in all directions by your power; make them low, O Lord our saviour.
12 Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ẹnu wọn, ní ọ̀rọ̀ ètè wọn, kí a mú wọn nínú ìgbéraga wọn. Nítorí èébú àti èké tí wọn ń sọ,
Because of the sin of their mouths and the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and for their curses and their deceit,
13 pa wọ́n run nínú ìbínú, run wọ́n di ìgbà tí wọn kò ní sí mọ́. Nígbà náà ni yóò di mí mọ̀ dé òpin ayé pé Ọlọ́run jẹ ọba lórí Jakọbu. (Sela)
Put an end to them in your wrath, put an end to them, so that they may not be seen again; let them see that God is ruling in Jacob and to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Wọ́n padà ní àṣálẹ́, wọn ń gbó bí àwọn ajá wọ́n ń rin ìlú náà káàkiri.
And in the evening let them come back, and make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.
15 Wọ́n ń rin kiri fún oúnjẹ wọ́n sì ń yán nígbà tí wọn kò yó.
Let them go wandering up and down in search of food, and be there all night if they have not enough.
16 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó kọrin agbára rẹ, n ó kọrin ìfẹ́ rẹ ní òwúrọ̀; nítorí ìwọ ni ààbò mi, ibi ìsádi mi ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú.
But I will make songs of your power; yes, I will give cries of joy for your mercy in the morning; because you have been my strength and my high tower in the day of my trouble.
17 Ìwọ agbára mi, èmi ó kọrin ìyìn sí ọ; ìwọ, Ọlọ́run, ààbò mi, Ọlọ́run ìfẹ́ mi.
To you, O my strength, will I make my song: because God is my high tower, even the God of my mercy.
