Psalms 68
1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Orin. Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó dìde, kí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ kí ó fọ́nká; kí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ kí ó sá níwájú rẹ̀.
Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of David himself. May God rise up, and may his enemies be scattered, and may those who hate him flee from before his face.
2 Bí ìjì ti ń fẹ́ èéfín lọ, kí ó fẹ́ wọn lọ; bí ìda ti í yọ́ níwájú iná, kí olùṣe búburú ṣègbé níwájú Ọlọ́run.
Just as smoke vanishes, so may they vanish. Just as wax flows away before the face of fire, so may sinners pass away before the face of God.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n kí inú olódodo kí ó dùn kí ó sì kún fún ayọ̀ níwájú Ọlọ́run; kí inú wọn kí ó dùn, kí ó sì kún fún ayọ̀.
And so, let the just feast, and let them exult in the sight of God and be delighted in gladness.
4 Ẹ kọrin sí Ọlọ́run, ẹ kọrin ìyìn sí i, ẹ la ọ̀nà fún ẹni tí ń rékọjá ní aginjù. Olúwa ni orúkọ rẹ̀, kí ẹ sì máa yọ̀ níwájú rẹ̀.
Sing to God, sing a psalm to his name. Make a path for him, who ascends over the west. The Lord is his name. Exult in his sight; they will be stirred up before his face,
5 Baba àwọn aláìní baba àti onídàájọ́ àwọn opó ni Ọlọ́run ní ibùgbé rẹ̀ mímọ́
the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in his holy place.
6 Ọlọ́run gbé aláìlera kalẹ̀ nínú ìdílé, ó darí àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n pẹ̀lú orin, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́tẹ̀ ní ń gbé nínú ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
It is God who makes men dwell in a house under one custom. He leads out those who are strongly bound, and similarly, those who exasperate, who dwell in sepulchers.
7 Nígbà tí ìwọ bá jáde lónìí níwájú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, Ọlọ́run, tí ń kọjá lọ láàrín aginjù, (Sela)
O God, when you departed in the sight of your people, when you passed through the desert,
8 Ilẹ̀ mì títí, àwọn ọ̀run ń rọ òjò jáde, níwájú Ọlọ́run, ẹni Sinai, níwájú Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
the earth was moved, for the heavens rained down before the face of the God of Sinai, before the face of the God of Israel.
9 Ìwọ fún wa ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òjò, Ọlọ́run; ìwọ tu ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ lára nígbà tí ó rẹ̀ ẹ́ tan.
You will set aside for your inheritance, O God, a willing rain. And though it was weak, truly, you have made it perfect.
10 Àwọn ènìyàn rẹ tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀ nínú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìní rẹ, Ọlọ́run, ìwọ pèsè fún àwọn aláìní.
Your animals will dwell in it. O God, in your sweetness, you have provided for the poor.
11 Olúwa ti pàṣẹ ọ̀rọ̀, púpọ̀ ní ogun àwọn ẹni tí ó ń ròyìn rẹ̀.
The Lord will give the word to evangelizers, along with great virtue.
12 “Àwọn ọba àti àwọn ológun yára sálọ; obìnrin tí ó sì jókòó ni ilé ní ń pín ìkógun náà.
The King of virtue is beloved among the beloved. And the beauty of the house will divide spoils.
13 Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin dùbúlẹ̀ láàrín agbo ẹran, nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin ó dàbí ìyẹ́ àdàbà ti a bò ní fàdákà, àti ìyẹ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wúrà pupa.”
If you take your rest in the midst of the clergy, you will be like a dove whose wings are covered with fine silver and edged with pale gold.
14 Nígbà tí Olódùmarè fọ́n àwọn ọba ká ní ilẹ̀ náà, ó dàbí òjò dídi ní Salmoni.
When heaven discerns kings to be over her, they will be whitened with the snows of Zalmon.
15 Òkè Baṣani jẹ́ òkè Ọlọ́run; òkè tí ó ní orí púpọ̀ ni òkè Baṣani.
The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a dense mountain, a thick mountain.
16 Kí ló dé tí ẹ̀yin fi ń ṣe ìlara, ẹ̀yin òkè wúwo, òkè tí Ọlọ́run ti fẹ́ láti jẹ ọba níbi tí Olúwa fúnra rẹ̀ yóò máa gbé títí láé?
So then, why are you distrustful of dense mountains? The mountain on which God is well pleased to dwell, even there, the Lord will dwell until the end.
17 Ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ni kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun Ọlọ́run ẹgbẹ̀rún lọ́nà ẹgbẹ̀rún; Olúwa ń bẹ láàrín wọn, ní Sinai ni ibi mímọ́ rẹ̀.
The chariot of God is ten thousand fold: thousands rejoice. The Lord is with them in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Ìwọ ti gòkè sí ibi gíga ìwọ ti di ìgbèkùn ní ìgbèkùn lọ; ìwọ ti gba ẹ̀bùn fún ènìyàn: nítòótọ́, fún àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run lè máa bá wọn gbé.
You have ascended on high; you have taken captivity captive. You have accepted gifts among men. For even those who do not believe dwell with the Lord God.
19 Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Olùgbàlà wa, ẹni tí ó ń fi ojoojúmọ́ gba ẹrù wa rù. (Sela)
Blessed is the Lord, day after day. The God of our salvation will make our journey prosper for us.
20 Ọlọ́run wa jẹ́ Ọlọ́run tó ń gbàlà àti sí Olúwa Olódùmarè ni ó ń gbà wá lọ́wọ́ ikú.
Our God is the God who will bring about our salvation, and our Lord is the Lord who has brought an end to death.
21 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run yóò tẹ orí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, àti agbárí onírun àwọn tó ń tẹ̀síwájú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn
So then, truly, God will break the heads of his enemies, the hairy skull of those who wander around in their offenses.
22 Olúwa wí pé, “Èmi ó mú wọn wá láti Baṣani; èmi ó mú wọn wá láti ibú omi Òkun,
The Lord said: I will turn them away from Bashan, I will turn them into the depths of the sea,
23 kí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ kí ó le pọ́n ní inú ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, àti ahọ́n àwọn ajá rẹ ní ìpín tiwọn lára àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ.”
so that your feet may be soaked in the blood of your enemies, so that the tongue of your dogs may be soaked with the same.
24 Wọ́n ti rí ìrìn rẹ, Ọlọ́run, ìrìn Ọlọ́run mi àti ọba mi ní ibi mímọ́ rẹ̀.
O God, they have seen your arrival, the arrival of my God, of my king who is in a holy place.
25 Àwọn akọrin wà ní iwájú, àwọn olórin wà lẹ́yìn; àwọn ọmọbìnrin tí ń lu ṣaworo sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn.
The leaders went ahead, united with the singers of psalms, in the midst of girls playing on timbrels.
26 Ẹ fi ìyìn fún Olúwa ní ẹgbẹgbẹ́; àní fún Olúwa ẹ̀yin tí ó ti orísun Israẹli wá.
In the churches, bless the Lord God from the fountains of Israel.
27 Níbẹ̀ ní ẹ̀yà kékeré Benjamini wà, tí ó ń darí wọn, níbẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ-aládé Juda, níbẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ-aládé Sebuluni àti tí Naftali.
In that place, Benjamin is a youth in ecstasy of mind. The leaders of Judah are their governors: the leaders of Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.
28 Pàṣẹ agbára rẹ, Ọlọ́run; fi agbára rẹ hàn wá, Ọlọ́run, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti ṣe ní ìṣáájú.
Command by your virtue, O God. Confirm in this place, O God, what you have wrought in us.
29 Nítorí tẹmpili rẹ ni Jerusalẹmu àwọn ọba yóò mú ẹ̀bùn wá fún ọ.
Before your temple in Jerusalem, kings will offer gifts to you.
30 Bá àwọn ẹranko búburú wí, tí ń gbé láàrín eèsún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn akọ màlúù pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ màlúù títí olúkúlùkù yóò fi foríbalẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìwọ̀n fàdákà: tú àwọn ènìyàn tí ń ṣe inú dídùn sí ogun ká.
Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, a congregation of bulls with the cows of the people, for they seek to exclude those who have been tested like silver. Scatter the nations that are pleased by wars.
31 Àwọn ọmọ-aládé yóò wá láti Ejibiti; Etiopia yóò na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run.
Ambassadors will come out of Egypt. Ethiopia will offer in advance her hands to God.
32 Kọrin sí Ọlọ́run, ẹ̀yin ìjọba ayé, kọrin ìyìn sí Olúwa, (Sela)
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth. Sing psalms to the Lord. Sing psalms to God.
33 Sí ẹni tí ń gun ọ̀run dé ọ̀run àtijọ́ lókè, tó ń fọhùn rẹ̀, ohùn ńlá.
He ascends, up to the heaven of the heavens, toward the east. Behold, he will utter his voice, the voice of virtue.
34 Kéde agbára Ọlọ́run, ọláńlá rẹ̀ wà lórí Israẹli, tí agbára rẹ̀ wà lójú ọ̀run.
Give glory to God beyond Israel. His magnificence and his virtue is in the clouds.
35 Ìwọ ní ẹ̀rù, Ọlọ́run, ní ibi mímọ́ rẹ; Ọlọ́run Israẹli fi agbára àti okun fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ. Olùbùkún ní Ọlọ́run!
God is wonderful in his saints. The God of Israel himself will give virtue and strength to his people. Blessed is God.
