< 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 leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of Asaph.” Sing joyfully to God, our strength! Shout with gladness to the God of Jacob!
2 Ẹ mú orin mímọ́, kí ẹ sì mú ìlù wá, tẹ dùùrù dídùn pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin mímọ́.
Raise a song, and strike the timbrel, The sweet-sounding harp, and the psaltery!
3 Ẹ fún ìpè ní oṣù tuntun àní nígbà tí a yàn; ní ọjọ́ àjọ wa tí ó ní ìrònú.
Blow the trumpet at the new moon; At the full moon, also, on our festal day!
4 Èyí ni àṣẹ fún Israẹli, àti òfin Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.
For this is a statute for Israel, 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.
He appointed it as a memorial in Joseph, When he went out of the land of Egypt, Where he heard a language which he knew not.
6 Ó wí pé, “Mo gbé àjàgà kúrò ní èjìká yín, a tú ọwọ́ wọn sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú apẹ̀rẹ̀.
“I relieved [[said he]] thy shoulders from their burden; Thy hands were removed from the hod.
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 didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; In the secret place of thunder I answered thee; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Pause)
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 admonish thee! O Israel! that thou wouldst hearken to me!
9 Ẹ̀yin kì yóò ní Ọlọ́run ilẹ̀ mìíràn láàrín yín; ẹ̀yin kì yóò foríbalẹ̀ fún Ọlọ́run àjèjì.
Let there be no strange god within thee, Nor worship thou any 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 Jehovah am thy God, Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open wide thy 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 my voice, And Israel would not hearken to 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 the obstinacy of their hearts, And they walked according to their own devices.
13 “Bí àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò bá gbọ́ tèmi bí Israẹli yóò bá tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà mi,
“O that my people had hearkened to me! That 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!
Soon would I have brought low 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 Jehovah should have become suppliants to them, And their prosperity 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.”
With the finest of the wheat I would have fed them, And with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied them.”
