Psalms 69
1 Fún adarí orin. Tí ohùn “Àwọn Lílì.” Ti Dafidi. Gbà mí, Ọlọ́run, nítorí omi ti kún dé ọrùn mi.
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Lilies.” By David. Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck!
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 sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow 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 with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my 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.
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.
5 Ìwọ mọ òmùgọ̀ mi, Ọlọ́run; ẹ̀bi mi kò pamọ́ lójú rẹ.
God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren’t 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.
Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord GOD of Armies. Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonour through me, God of Israel.
7 Nítorí rẹ ni mo ń ru ẹ̀gàn, ìtìjú sì bo ojú mi.
Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.
8 Mo jẹ́ àjèjì si àwọn arákùnrin mi; àlejò sí àwọn arákùnrin ìyá mi;
I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s children.
9 nítorí ìtara ilé rẹ jẹ mí run, àti ẹ̀gàn àwọn tí ń gàn ọ́ ṣubú lù mí.
For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on 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 wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach.
11 nígbà tí mo wọ aṣọ àkísà, àwọn ènìyàn ń pa òwe mọ́ mi.
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
12 Àwọn tí ó jókòó ní ẹnu ibodè ń bú mi, mo sì di orin àwọn ọ̀mùtí.
Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards.
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 as for me, my prayer is to you, LORD, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.
14 Gbà mí kúrò nínú ẹrẹ̀, má ṣe jẹ́ kí n rì; gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi, kúrò nínú ibú omi.
Deliver me out of the mire, and don’t let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the 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.
Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me.
16 Dá mí lóhùn, Olúwa, nínú ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ; nínú ọ̀pọ̀ àánú rẹ yípadà sí mi.
Answer me, LORD, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.
17 Má ṣe pa ojú rẹ mọ́ fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ: yára dá mi lóhùn, nítorí mo wà nínú ìpọ́njú.
Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!
18 Súnmọ́ tòsí kí o sì gbà mí là; rà mí padà nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi.
Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.
19 Ìwọ ti mọ ẹ̀gàn mi, ìtìjú mi àti àìlọ́lá; gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá mi wà níwájú rẹ.
You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonour. My adversaries are all before you.
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.
Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; 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.
They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Jẹ́ kí tábìlì wọn kí ó di ìkẹ́kùn ní iwájú wọn, kí ó sì di okùn dídẹ fún àwọn tó wà ní àlàáfíà.
Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.
23 Kí ojú wọn kì í ó ṣókùnkùn, kí wọn má ṣe ríran, kí ẹ̀yin wọn di títẹ̀ títí láé.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent.
24 Tú ìbínú rẹ jáde sí wọn; kí ìbínú gbígbóná rẹ bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀.
Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
25 Kí ibùjókòó wọn di ahoro; kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe gbé nínú wọn.
Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.
26 Nítorí wọ́n ń ṣe inúnibíni sí ẹni tí ìwọ ti lù, àti ìrora àwọn tí ó ti ṣèṣe.
For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.
27 Fi ẹ̀sùn kún ẹ̀sùn wọn; Má ṣe jẹ́ kí wọn pín nínú ìgbàlà rẹ.
Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness.
28 Jẹ́ kí a yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ìwé ìyè kí á má kà wọ́n pẹ̀lú àwọn olódodo.
Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
29 Ṣùgbọ́n tálákà àti ẹni-ìkáàánú ni èmí, Ọlọ́run, jẹ́ kí ìgbàlà rẹ gbé mi lékè.
But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.
30 Èmi yóò fi orin gbé orúkọ Ọlọ́run ga èmi yóò fi ọpẹ́ gbé orúkọ rẹ̀ ga.
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 Eléyìí tẹ́ Olúwa lọ́rùn ju ọ̀dá màlúù lọ ju akọ màlúù pẹ̀lú ìwo rẹ̀ àti bàtà rẹ̀.
It will please the LORD better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.
32 Àwọn òtòṣì yóò rí, wọn yóò sì yọ̀: ẹ̀yin yóò wá Ọlọ́run, ọkàn yín yóò sì wà láààyè!
The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.
33 Olúwa, gbọ́ ti aláìní, kì ó sì kọ àwọn ìgbèkùn sílẹ̀.
For the LORD hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people.
34 Kí ọ̀run àti ayé yìn ín, òkun àti àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀,
Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!
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 save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it.
36 àwọn ọmọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ni yóò máa jogún rẹ̀, àwọn tí ó fẹ́ orúkọ rẹ ni yóò máa gbé inú rẹ̀.
The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.
