Psalms 73
1 Saamu ti Asafu. Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run dára fún Israẹli, fún àwọn ọlọ́kàn funfun.
A PSALM OF ASAPH. Surely God [is] good to Israel, to the clean of heart. And I—as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,
2 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti èmi, ẹsẹ̀ mi ti yẹ̀ tán; ìrìn mi fẹ́rẹ̀ yọ̀ tán.
As nothing, my steps have slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful,
3 Nítorí èmi ń ṣe ìlara àwọn tó ń ṣe féfé nígbà tí mo bá rí àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn búburú.
I see the peace of the wicked, That there are no bands at their death,
4 Wọn kò ṣe wàhálà; ara wọn mókun wọn sì lágbára.
And their might [is] firm.
5 Wọn kò ní ìpín nínú àjàgà tó ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ènìyàn; a kò pọ́n wọn lójú nípa ẹlòmíràn.
They are not in the misery of mortals, And they are not plagued with common men.
6 Ìgbéraga ni ọ̀ṣọ́ ọrùn wọn; ìwà ipá bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ bí aṣọ.
Therefore pride has encircled them, Violence covers them as a dress.
7 Láti inú ọkàn àrékérekè ni àìṣòdodo ti wá; ẹ̀rí ọkàn búburú wọn kò ní òdínwọ̀n.
Their eye has come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;
8 Wọn ń ṣẹ̀sín, wọn sì ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì ní ti ìnilára, wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ láti ibi gíga.
They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, They speak from on high.
9 Wọ́n ń gbé ẹ̀mí wọn lé ọ̀run ahọ́n wọn gba ipò ayé.
They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walks in the earth.
10 Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn wọn yípadà sí wọn wọ́n sì mu omi ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
Therefore His people return here, And waters of fullness are wrung out to them.
11 Wọ́n wí pé, “Báwo ni Ọlọ́run yóò ṣe mọ̀? Ọ̀gá-ògo ha ní ìmọ̀ bí?”
And they have said, “How has God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Bí àwọn ènìyàn búburú ṣe rí nìyí, ènìyàn asán, wọ́n ń pọ̀ ní ọrọ̀.
Behold, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.
13 Nítòótọ́ nínú asán ni mo pa ọkàn mi mọ́; nínú asán ni mo wẹ ọwọ́ mi ní àìlẹ́ṣẹ̀.
Only—a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash my hands in innocence,
14 Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ni a ń yọ mí lẹ́nu; a sì ń jẹ mí ní yà ní gbogbo òwúrọ̀.
And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof—every morning.
15 Bí mo bá wí pé, “Èmi ó wí báyìí,” èmi ó ṣẹ̀ sí ìran àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
If I have said, “I recount thus,” Behold, I have deceived a generation of Your sons.
16 Nígbà tí mo gbìyànjú láti mọ èyí, Ó jẹ́ ìnilára fún mi,
And I think to know this, It [is] perverseness in my eyes,
17 títí mo fi wọ ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run; nígbà náà ni òye ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn yé mi.
Until I come into the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.
18 Lóòtítọ́ ìwọ gbé wọn lórí ilẹ̀ yíyọ́ ìwọ jù wọ́n sílẹ̀ sínú ìparun.
Surely You set them in slippery places, You have caused them to fall to desolations.
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 they have become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended—consumed from terrors.
20 Bí àlá nígbà tí ènìyàn bá jí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà tí ìwọ bá dìde, Olúwa, ìwọ yóò ṣe àbùkù àwòrán wọn.
As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, You despise their image.
21 Nígbà tí inú mi bàjẹ́ àti ọkàn mi ṣì korò,
For my heart shows itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,
22 mo jẹ́ aṣiwèrè àti aláìlóye; mo jẹ́ ẹranko ní iwájú rẹ.
And I am brutish, and do not know. I have been a beast with You.
23 Síbẹ̀ mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nígbà gbogbo; ìwọ di ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi mú.
And I [am] continually with You, You have laid hold on my right hand.
24 Ìwọ fi ìmọ̀ràn rẹ tọ́ mi ní ìkẹyìn ìwọ ó mú mi lọ sí inú ògo.
You lead me with Your counsel, And after, receive 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 do I have in the heavens? And none have I desired in earth [besides] You.
26 Ara mi àti ọkàn mi le è kùnà ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ni agbára ẹ̀mí mi àti ìpín mi títí láé.
My flesh and my heart have been consumed, God [is] the rock of my heart and my portion for all time.
27 Àwọn tí ó jìnnà sí ọ yóò ṣègbé ìwọ ti pa gbogbo wọn run; tí ń ṣe àgbèrè kiri kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.
For behold, those far from You perish, You have cut off everyone, Who is going whoring from You.
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.
And [the] nearness of God to me [is] good, I have placed my refuge in Lord YHWH, To recount all Your works!
