Psalms 73
1 Saamu ti Asafu. Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run dára fún Israẹli, fún àwọn ọlọ́kàn funfun.
A Psalme committed to Asaph. Yet God is good to Israel: euen, to the pure in heart.
2 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti èmi, ẹsẹ̀ mi ti yẹ̀ tán; ìrìn mi fẹ́rẹ̀ yọ̀ tán.
As for me, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well neere slipt.
3 Nítorí èmi ń ṣe ìlara àwọn tó ń ṣe féfé nígbà tí mo bá rí àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn búburú.
For I feared at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperitie of the wicked.
4 Wọn kò ṣe wàhálà; ara wọn mókun wọn sì lágbára.
For there are no bandes in their death, but they are lustie and strong.
5 Wọn kò ní ìpín nínú àjàgà tó ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ènìyàn; a kò pọ́n wọn lójú nípa ẹlòmíràn.
They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men.
6 Ìgbéraga ni ọ̀ṣọ́ ọrùn wọn; ìwà ipá bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ bí aṣọ.
Therefore pride is as a chayne vnto them, and crueltie couereth them as a garment.
7 Láti inú ọkàn àrékérekè ni àìṣòdodo ti wá; ẹ̀rí ọkàn búburú wọn kò ní òdínwọ̀n.
Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: they haue more then heart can wish.
8 Wọn ń ṣẹ̀sín, wọn sì ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì ní ti ìnilára, wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ láti ibi gíga.
They are licentious, and speake wickedly of their oppression: they talke presumptuously.
9 Wọ́n ń gbé ẹ̀mí wọn lé ọ̀run ahọ́n wọn gba ipò ayé.
They set their mouth against heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn wọn yípadà sí wọn wọ́n sì mu omi ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
Therefore his people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 Wọ́n wí pé, “Báwo ni Ọlọ́run yóò ṣe mọ̀? Ọ̀gá-ògo ha ní ìmọ̀ bí?”
And they say, Howe doeth God know it? or is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Bí àwọn ènìyàn búburú ṣe rí nìyí, ènìyàn asán, wọ́n ń pọ̀ ní ọrọ̀.
Lo, these are the wicked, yet prosper they alway, and increase in riches.
13 Nítòótọ́ nínú asán ni mo pa ọkàn mi mọ́; nínú asán ni mo wẹ ọwọ́ mi ní àìlẹ́ṣẹ̀.
Certainely I haue clensed mine heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.
14 Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ni a ń yọ mí lẹ́nu; a sì ń jẹ mí ní yà ní gbogbo òwúrọ̀.
For dayly haue I bene punished, and chastened euery morning.
15 Bí mo bá wí pé, “Èmi ó wí báyìí,” èmi ó ṣẹ̀ sí ìran àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
If I say, I will iudge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trespassed.
16 Nígbà tí mo gbìyànjú láti mọ èyí, Ó jẹ́ ìnilára fún mi,
Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,
17 títí mo fi wọ ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run; nígbà náà ni òye ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn yé mi.
Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.
18 Lóòtítọ́ ìwọ gbé wọn lórí ilẹ̀ yíyọ́ ìwọ jù wọ́n sílẹ̀ sínú ìparun.
Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.
19 Báwo ní a ti mú wọn lọ sínú ìdahoro yìí bí ẹni pé ní ìṣẹ́jú kan! Ìbẹ̀rù ni a fi ń run wọ́n pátápátá!
How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,
20 Bí àlá nígbà tí ènìyàn bá jí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà tí ìwọ bá dìde, Olúwa, ìwọ yóò ṣe àbùkù àwòrán wọn.
As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lord, when thou raisest vs vp, thou shalt make their image despised.
21 Nígbà tí inú mi bàjẹ́ àti ọkàn mi ṣì korò,
Certainely mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reines:
22 mo jẹ́ aṣiwèrè àti aláìlóye; mo jẹ́ ẹranko ní iwájú rẹ.
So foolish was I and ignorant: I was a beast before thee.
23 Síbẹ̀ mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nígbà gbogbo; ìwọ di ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi mú.
Yet I was alway with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Ìwọ fi ìmọ̀ràn rẹ tọ́ mi ní ìkẹyìn ìwọ ó mú mi lọ sí inú ògo.
Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.
25 Ta ni mo ní ní ọ̀run, bí kò ṣe ìwọ? Àti ní ayé kò sí ohun tí mo fẹ́ lẹ́yìn rẹ.
Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
26 Ara mi àti ọkàn mi le è kùnà ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ni agbára ẹ̀mí mi àti ìpín mi títí láé.
My flesh fayleth and mine heart also: but God is the strength of mine heart, and my portion for euer.
27 Àwọn tí ó jìnnà sí ọ yóò ṣègbé ìwọ ti pa gbogbo wọn run; tí ń ṣe àgbèrè kiri kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.
For loe, they that withdrawe themselues from thee, shall perish: thou destroyest all them that goe a whoring from thee.
28 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti èmi, ó dára láti súnmọ́ Ọlọ́run. Èmi ti fi Olúwa Olódùmarè ṣe ààbò mi; kí èmi ó lè máa sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ.
As for me, it is good for me to draw neere to God: therefore I haue put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy workes.
