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!

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

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

Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

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

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

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

For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law 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.

This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I understood not.

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

I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

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)

Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

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 testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

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

There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange 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 thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, 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 hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of 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 unto their own hearts’ lust: [and] they walked in their own counsels.

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

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways!

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

I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

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

The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

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

He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
