Psalms 69
1 Fún adarí orin. Tí ohùn “Àwọn Lílì.” Ti Dafidi. Gbà mí, Ọlọ́run, nítorí omi ti kún dé ọrùn mi.
For the leader. On shoshannim. Of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are threatening my life.
2 Mo ń rì nínú irà jíjìn, níbi tí kò sí ibi ìfẹsẹ̀lé. Mo ti wá sínú omi jíjìn; ìkún omi bò mí mọ́lẹ̀.
I am sunk in depths of mire, where ground there is none. I am come into deep deep waters, the flood overwhelms me.
3 Agara dá mi, mo ń pè fún ìrànlọ́wọ́; ọ̀fun mí gbẹ, ojú mi ṣú, nígbà tí èmi dúró de Ọlọ́run mi.
I am weary of crying, my throat is parched, my eyes are wasted with waiting for God.
4 Àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi láìnídìí wọ́n ju irun orí mi lọ, púpọ̀ ni àwọn ọ̀tá mi láìnídìí, àwọn tí ń wá láti pa mí run. A fi ipá mú mi láti san ohun tí èmi kò jí.
More than the hairs of my head are those who wantonly hate me. More than my bones in number are those who are falsely my foes. That which I never robbed, how am I then to restore?
5 Ìwọ mọ òmùgọ̀ mi, Ọlọ́run; ẹ̀bi mi kò pamọ́ lójú rẹ.
O God, you know my folly, my guilt is not hidden from you.
6 Má ṣe dójútì àwọn tí ó ní ìrètí nínú rẹ nítorí mi, Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun; má ṣe jẹ́ kí àwọn tó ń wá ọ dààmú nítorí mi, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
Through me let not any be shamed, who wait for you, Lord God of hosts. Through me let not those be confounded who seek you, O God of Israel.
7 Nítorí rẹ ni mo ń ru ẹ̀gàn, ìtìjú sì bo ojú mi.
It’s in your cause that I have borne taunts, and my face has been covered with shame;
8 Mo jẹ́ àjèjì si àwọn arákùnrin mi; àlejò sí àwọn arákùnrin ìyá mi;
I became to my kindred a foreigner, to my mother’s sons a stranger.
9 nítorí ìtara ilé rẹ jẹ mí run, àti ẹ̀gàn àwọn tí ń gàn ọ́ ṣubú lù mí.
It was zeal for your house that consumed me, and the insults they hurled at you fell upon me.
10 Nígbà tí mo sọkún tí mo sì ń fi àwẹ̀ jẹ ara mi ní ìyà èyí náà sì dín ẹ̀gàn mi kù;
When I chastened myself with fasting, they took occasion to taunt me.
11 nígbà tí mo wọ aṣọ àkísà, àwọn ènìyàn ń pa òwe mọ́ mi.
When I put on a garment of sackcloth, they made me the theme of a taunt-song.
12 Àwọn tí ó jókòó ní ẹnu ibodè ń bú mi, mo sì di orin àwọn ọ̀mùtí.
Those who sit in the gate make sport of me in the music of drunken songs.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti èmi ni ìwọ ni èmi ń gbàdúrà mi sí Olúwa, ní ìgbà ìtẹ́wọ́gbà Ọlọ́run, nínú ìfẹ́ títóbi rẹ, dá mi lóhùn pẹ̀lú ìgbàlà rẹ tí ó dájú.
But I pray to you, Lord, for a time of favor. In your great love answer me; with your loyal help, save me
14 Gbà mí kúrò nínú ẹrẹ̀, má ṣe jẹ́ kí n rì; gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi, kúrò nínú ibú omi.
from sinking down in the mire. Lift me out of the deep deep waters,
15 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ìkún omi bò mí mọ́lẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọ̀gbìn gbé mi mì kí o má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí ihò pa ẹnu rẹ̀ dé mọ́ mi.
that the rushing flood may not drown me, that the deep may not swallow me up, nor the pit close her mouth upon me.
16 Dá mí lóhùn, Olúwa, nínú ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ; nínú ọ̀pọ̀ àánú rẹ yípadà sí mi.
Answer me, Lord, in your gracious kindness, turn to me in your great compassion.
17 Má ṣe pa ojú rẹ mọ́ fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ: yára dá mi lóhùn, nítorí mo wà nínú ìpọ́njú.
Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in trouble; O answer me speedily.
18 Súnmọ́ tòsí kí o sì gbà mí là; rà mí padà nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi.
Draw near to me, redeem me; because of my enemies, ransom me.
19 Ìwọ ti mọ ẹ̀gàn mi, ìtìjú mi àti àìlọ́lá; gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá mi wà níwájú rẹ.
You know how I am insulted; in your sight are all my foes.
20 Ẹ̀gàn ba ọkàn mi jẹ́, wọ́n fi mí sílẹ̀ láìsí ìrànlọ́wọ́; mo ń wá aláàánú, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí, mo ń wá olùtùnú, ṣùgbọ́n n kò rí ẹnìkankan.
Insult has broken my heart, past cure are my shame and confusion. For pity I looked – there was none! And for comforters, but I found none.
21 Wọ́n fi òróró fún mi pẹ̀lú ohun jíjẹ mi, àti ní òùngbẹ mi, wọ́n fi ọtí kíkan fún mi.
Poison they gave me for food, and to slake my thirst they gave vinegar.
22 Jẹ́ kí tábìlì wọn kí ó di ìkẹ́kùn ní iwájú wọn, kí ó sì di okùn dídẹ fún àwọn tó wà ní àlàáfíà.
May their table, outspread, be a trap to them, and their peace-offerings be a snare.
23 Kí ojú wọn kì í ó ṣókùnkùn, kí wọn má ṣe ríran, kí ẹ̀yin wọn di títẹ̀ títí láé.
May their eyes be darkened and blind, make them shake without ceasing.
24 Tú ìbínú rẹ jáde sí wọn; kí ìbínú gbígbóná rẹ bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀.
Pour your indignation upon them, let your burning wrath overtake them.
25 Kí ibùjókòó wọn di ahoro; kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe gbé nínú wọn.
May their camp be a desolation, in their tents be there none to live.
26 Nítorí wọ́n ń ṣe inúnibíni sí ẹni tí ìwọ ti lù, àti ìrora àwọn tí ó ti ṣèṣe.
For those whom you struck, they persecute, and those whom you wounded, they pain yet more.
27 Fi ẹ̀sùn kún ẹ̀sùn wọn; Má ṣe jẹ́ kí wọn pín nínú ìgbàlà rẹ.
Charge them with sin upon sin, may they not be acquitted by you.
28 Jẹ́ kí a yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ìwé ìyè kí á má kà wọ́n pẹ̀lú àwọn olódodo.
From the book of life be they blotted, may their names not be written with the righteous.
29 Ṣùgbọ́n tálákà àti ẹni-ìkáàánú ni èmí, Ọlọ́run, jẹ́ kí ìgbàlà rẹ gbé mi lékè.
Lift me, O God, by your help above my pain and misery.
30 Èmi yóò fi orin gbé orúkọ Ọlọ́run ga èmi yóò fi ọpẹ́ gbé orúkọ rẹ̀ ga.
Then will I praise God in song and magnify him with thanksgiving,
31 Eléyìí tẹ́ Olúwa lọ́rùn ju ọ̀dá màlúù lọ ju akọ màlúù pẹ̀lú ìwo rẹ̀ àti bàtà rẹ̀.
which shall please the Lord better than ox, or than bullock with horns and hoofs.
32 Àwọn òtòṣì yóò rí, wọn yóò sì yọ̀: ẹ̀yin yóò wá Ọlọ́run, ọkàn yín yóò sì wà láààyè!
The oppressed shall rejoice at the sight. You who seek after God, let your heart revive.
33 Olúwa, gbọ́ ti aláìní, kì ó sì kọ àwọn ìgbèkùn sílẹ̀.
For the Lord listens to the poor, he does not despise his prisoners.
34 Kí ọ̀run àti ayé yìn ín, òkun àti àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀,
Let the heavens and the earth sing his praises, the seas, and all creatures that move in them.
35 nítorí tí Ọlọ́run yóò gba Sioni là yóò sì tún àwọn ìlú Juda wọ̀nyí kọ́. Kí wọn ó lè máa gbé ibẹ̀, kí wọn ó lè máa ní ní ilẹ̀ ìní;
For God will bring help to Zion, and build up the cities of Judah, his people shall live there in possession.
36 àwọn ọmọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ni yóò máa jogún rẹ̀, àwọn tí ó fẹ́ orúkọ rẹ ni yóò máa gbé inú rẹ̀.
His servants’ children shall have it for heritage, and those who love him shall live therein.
