< Psalms 77 >
1 Fún adarí orin. Fún Jedutuni. Ti Asafu. Saamu. Mó kígbe sí Ọlọ́run fún ìrànlọ́wọ́; mo kígbe sí Ọlọ́run láti gbọ́ tèmi.
For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.
2 Nígbà tí mo wà nínú ìpọ́njú, mo wá Olúwa; ní òru ni mo na ọwọ́ mi jáde ní àìkáárẹ̀ ọkàn mí sì kọ̀ láti tù ú nínú.
In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
3 Èmi rántí rẹ, Ọlọ́run, mo sì kẹ́dùn; mo ṣe àròyé, ẹ̀mí mi sì rẹ̀wẹ̀sì. (Sela)
I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. (Pause)
4 Ìwọ kò fẹ́ kí èmi fi ojú ba oorun, mo dààmú tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ń kò le sọ̀rọ̀.
All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
5 Mo ronú nípa ọjọ́ ìgbàanì; ọdún pípẹ́ sẹ́yìn;
I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
6 mo rántí orin mi ní òru. Èmi ń bá àyà mi sọ̀rọ̀, ọkàn mi sì ń ṣe àwárí jọjọ.
And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
7 “Olúwa yóò ha kọ̀ títí láé? Ki yóò ha ṣe ojúrere rẹ̀ mọ́?
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
8 Ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti àánú rẹ̀ ti kú lọ láéláé? Ìlérí rẹ̀ ha kùnà títí ayé?
Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
9 Ọlọ́run ha gbàgbé láti máa ṣàánú? Ní ìbínú rẹ̀, ó ha sé ojúrere rẹ̀ mọ́?” (Sela)
Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? (Pause)
10 Èmi wí pé, “Èyí ní ẹ̀dùn ọkàn mi, pé ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ ti yípadà”.
And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
11 Èmi ó rántí iṣẹ́ Olúwa: bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, èmi ó rántí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ ọjọ́ pípẹ́.
I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.
12 Èmi ṣàṣàrò lórí iṣẹ́ rẹ gbogbo, pẹ̀lú, ènìyàn sì máa sọ̀rọ̀ gbogbo iṣẹ́ agbára rẹ.
And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.
13 Ọlọ́run, ọ̀nà rẹ jẹ́ mímọ́. Ọlọ́run wo ni ó sì tóbi bí Ọlọ́run wa?
O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
14 Ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run tó ń ṣe ìyanu; ìwọ fi agbára rẹ hàn nínú àwọn ènìyàn.
Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations.
15 Pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára rẹ ni ìwọ ra àwọn ènìyàn padà, àwọn ọmọ Jakọbu àti Josẹfu. (Sela)
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Pause)
16 Nígbà tí àwọn omi rí Ọlọ́run, nígbà tí àwọn omi rí ọ, ẹ̀rù bà wọ́n, nítòótọ́ ara ibú kò balẹ̀.
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
17 Àwọn ojú ọ̀run tú omi sílẹ̀, àwọsánmọ̀ fi àrá dáhùn; ọfà rẹ̀ ń tàn sẹ́yìn àti síwájú.
[There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad.
18 Àrá rẹ̀ ni a gbọ́ nínú ìjì, ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀ sí gbogbo ayé; ayé bẹ̀rù, wọ́n sì wárìrì.
The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
19 Ipa rẹ̀ gba Òkun, ọ̀nà rẹ̀ ń bẹ nínú Òkun, ọ̀nà la omi alágbára kọjá ipa rẹ̀ ń bẹ nínú líla omi alágbára kọjá, nítòótọ́ a kò rí ojú ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known.
20 Ó tọ́ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀wọ́ ẹran nípa ọwọ́ Mose àti Aaroni.
Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
