< Psalms 83 >

1 Orin. Saamu ti Asafu. Ọlọ́run, má ṣe dákẹ́; má ṣe dákẹ́, Ọlọ́run má ṣe dúró jẹ́ẹ́.
A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, please do not stay silent! You can't remain unmoved! God, you must not keep quiet!
2 Wo bí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ ti ń rọ́kẹ̀kẹ̀ lọ, bi àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ ti ń gbé ohùn wọn sókè.
Can't you hear the roars of your enemies? Can't you see how those who hate you are defiantly lifting up their heads?
3 Pẹ̀lú àrékérekè ni wọn dìtẹ̀ sí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ; wọn sí dìtẹ̀ mọ́ àwọn tí o fẹ́.
They invent cunning plans to conspire against your people; they plot against those you treasure.
4 Wọn wí pé, “wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí á pa wọ́n run bí orílẹ̀-èdè, kí orúkọ Israẹli ma bá a sí ní ìrántí mọ́.”
They say, “Come on! Let's destroy them as a nation so the name ‘Israel’ will be completely forgotten.”
5 Wọ́n gbìmọ̀ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú ọkàn kan; wọ́n ṣe àdéhùn láti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí ọ
They all agree in their conspiracy; they've made a treaty together to attack you—
6 Àgọ́ Edomu àti ti àwọn ará Iṣmaeli, ti Moabu àti ti Hagari
the people of Edom, the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagirites;
7 Gebali, Ammoni àti Amaleki, Filistia, pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn Tire.
the people of Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, and the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Asiria pẹ̀lú ti darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn láti ran àwọn ọmọ Lọti lọ́wọ́. (Sela)
Assyria too has joined them, allied with the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
9 Ṣe sí wọn bí ìwọ ti ṣe sí Midiani bí o ti ṣe sí Sisera àti Jabini ní odò Kiṣoni,
Do to them what you did to Midian, what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
10 ẹni tí ó ṣègbé ní Endori tí wọn sì dàbí ààtàn ní orí ilẹ̀.
They were destroyed at Endor and became like manure to fertilize the ground.
11 Ṣe àwọn ọlọ́lá wọn bí Orebu àti Seebu, àwọn ọmọ-aládé wọn bí Seba àti Salmunna,
Make their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb; all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 tí ó wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a gbà ní ìní àní pápá oko tútù Ọlọ́run.”
for they said, “Let's take the pastures of God for ourselves!”
13 Ìwọ Ọlọ́run, ṣe wọ́n bí ààjà, bí ìyàngbò níwájú afẹ́fẹ́.
My God, make them like whirling tumbleweeds, chaff blown away by the wind.
14 Bí iná ti í jó igbó, àti bí ọ̀wọ́-iná ti ń mú òkè ńlá gbiná,
Just like fire that burns the forest, a flame that sets fire to the mountains,
15 bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí o fi ẹ̀fúùfù líle rẹ lépa wọn dẹ́rùbà wọn lójú pẹ̀lú ìjì rẹ.
in the same way chase them down with your storm, terrify them with your whirlwind.
16 Fi ìtìjú kún ojú wọn, kí àwọn ènìyàn bá à lè ṣe àfẹ́rí orúkọ rẹ àti kí o fi ìjì líle rẹ dẹ́rùbà, ìwọ Olúwa.
Shame them in defeat so that they come to you, Lord!
17 Jẹ́ kí ojú kí ó tì wọ́n, kí wọ́n sì dààmú láéláé kí wọ́n ṣègbé sínú ẹ̀gàn
Make them ashamed, terrify them forever so that they die in disgrace.
18 jẹ́ kí wọn mọ̀ pé ìwọ, tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Olúwa: pé ìwọ nìkan ní Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ lórí gbogbo ayé.
Let them understand that you alone, called the Lord, are the Most High who rules over all the earth.
