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.
God, save me from my enemies! Protect me from those who want to attack me!
2 Gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn oníṣẹ́ búburú kí o sì gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn tí ń pòǹgbẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀.
Rescue me from men who want to do what is wicked, men who are murderers!
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.
Look! They are waiting to kill me! Fierce men have gathered to assault me. Yahweh, they are doing that even though I have not done what is wrong!
4 Èmi kò ṣe àìṣedéédéé kan, síbẹ̀ wọ́n sáré wọ́n ṣetán láti kọlù mí. Dìde fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi, kí o sì wo àìlera mi.
It is not because I have committed any sin [against them] that they run and get ready to attack me.
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)
Yahweh my God, commander of the armies of heaven, the one we Israelis [worship], arise and punish the [ungodly/heathen people of] all the nations; do not be merciful to those [wicked people] who have (acted treacherously toward/secretly planned to harm) us.
6 Wọ́n padà ní àṣálẹ́, wọ́n ń gbó bí àwọn ajá, wọ́n ń rìn yí ìlú náà káàkiri.
They return each evening, snarling like vicious dogs [SIM] as they prowl around this city.
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?”
They loudly say terrible things; they say [MTY] many things that [injure people like] [MET] swords do, but they think, “No one will [RHQ] hear us!”
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Olúwa, yóò fi wọ́n rẹ́rìn-ín, Ìwọ ó yọ ṣùtì sí gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
But Yahweh, you laugh at them. You (scoff at/ridicule) the [people of the pagan] nations.
9 Ìwọ agbára mi, èmi ó máa kọrin ìyìn sí ọ; nítorí ìwọ Ọlọ́run ni ààbò mi,
God, I have confidence in you because you are very strong; you are my refuge.
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.
Because you love me, you will come to save me; you will allow me to watch while you defeat my enemies.
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.
But do not kill them [immediately] in order that my people will not forget [how you punished them]! [Instead], Lord, [you who are like a] shield [that protects us] [MET], scatter them by your power, and [then] defeat them.
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 what they say [MTY] is sinful, allow them to be trapped for being proud. Because they are [always] cursing and telling lies,
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)
because you are angry, get rid of them; destroy them completely in order that people will know that you rule over us, your Israeli people, and that you rule over all the earth.
14 Wọ́n padà ní àṣálẹ́, wọn ń gbó bí àwọn ajá wọ́n ń rin ìlú náà káàkiri.
My enemies return each evening, snarling like [vicious] dogs as they prowl around this city.
15 Wọ́n ń rin kiri fún oúnjẹ wọ́n sì ń yán nígbà tí wọn kò yó.
They roam around, searching for food; and if they do not find enough, they growl.
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 [as for me], I will sing about your power; [every] morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving [us]. I will sing about how you protected me when I was [very] distressed.
17 Ìwọ agbára mi, èmi ó kọrin ìyìn sí ọ; ìwọ, Ọlọ́run, ààbò mi, Ọlọ́run ìfẹ́ mi.
God, you are the one who enables me to be strong; you are my refuge; you faithfully love me.
