Psalms 81

1 Fún adarí orin. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti gittiti. Ti Asafu. Kọrin sókè sí Ọlọ́run agbára wa ẹ hó ìhó ayọ̀ sí Ọlọ́run Jakọbu!

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.

2 Ẹ mú orin mímọ́, kí ẹ sì mú ìlù wá, tẹ dùùrù dídùn pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin mímọ́.

Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.

3 Ẹ fún ìpè ní oṣù tuntun àní nígbà tí a yàn; ní ọjọ́ àjọ wa tí ó ní ìrònú.

Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.

4 Èyí ni àṣẹ fún Israẹli, àti òfin Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.

For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 Ó fi múlẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà fún Josẹfu nígbà tí ó la ilẹ̀ Ejibiti já. Níbi tí a ti gbọ́ èdè tí kò yé wa.

He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:

6 Ó wí pé, “Mo gbé àjàgà kúrò ní èjìká yín, a tú ọwọ́ wọn sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú apẹ̀rẹ̀.

“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

7 Nínú ìnilára ni ẹ pè mo sì gbà yín là, mo dá a yín lóhùn nínú ìkọ̀kọ̀ àrá, mo dán an yín wò ní odò Meriba. (Sela)

You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.

8 “Gbọ́, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, èmi ó sì kìlọ̀ fún un yín, bí ìwọ bá fetí sí mi, ìwọ Israẹli.

Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!

9 Ẹ̀yin kì yóò ní Ọlọ́run ilẹ̀ mìíràn láàrín yín; ẹ̀yin kì yóò foríbalẹ̀ fún Ọlọ́run àjèjì.

There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.

10 Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, ẹni tí ó mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti. Ẹ la ẹnu yín gbòòrò, èmi yóò sì kún un.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.

11 “Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn mi kì yóò gbọ́ tèmi; Israẹli kò ní tẹríba fún mi.

But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.

12 Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe fi wọ́n fún ọkàn líle wọn láti máa rìn ní ọ̀nà ẹ̀tàn wọn.

So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.

13 “Bí àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò bá gbọ́ tèmi bí Israẹli yóò bá tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà mi,

If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,

14 ní kánkán ni èmi yóò ṣẹ́gun àwọn ọ̀tá wọn kí n sì yí ọwọ́ mi padà sí ọ̀tá wọn!

how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!

15 Àwọn tí ó kórìíra Olúwa yóò tẹríba níwájú rẹ̀. Ìjìyà wọn yóò sì pẹ́ títí láé.

Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.

16 Ṣùgbọ́n a ó fi ọkà tí ó dára bọ́ ọ yín èmi ó tẹ́ ẹ yín lọ́rùn pẹ̀lú oyin inú àpáta.”

But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
