Psalms 84

1 Fún adarí orin. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti gittiti. Ti àwọn ọmọ Kora. Saamu. Ibùgbé rẹ̀ ti lẹ́wà tó, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun!

Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!

2 Ọkàn mi ń ṣàfẹ́rí nítòótọ́ ó tilẹ̀ pòǹgbẹ fún àgbàlá Olúwa àyà mi àti ara mi ń kọrin ayọ̀ sí Ọlọ́run alààyè.

I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.

3 Nítòótọ́ ológoṣẹ́ ri ilé, ẹyẹ alápáǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ tẹ́ ìtẹ́ fún ara rẹ̀, níbi tí yóò máa pa ọmọ rẹ̀ mọ́ sí: ibùgbé ní tòsí pẹpẹ rẹ̀, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ọba mí àti Ọlọ́run mi.

Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.

4 Ìbùkún ní fún àwọn tí ó ń gbé inú ilé rẹ; wọn ó máa yìn ọ́ títí láé.

(Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.

5 Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn tí agbára wọn wà nínú rẹ àwọn tí wọ́n gbé ọkàn lé bíbẹ ibi mímọ́ wò.

Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].

6 Àwọn tí ń la àfonífojì omijé lọ wọn sọ ọ́ di kànga àkọ́rọ̀ òjò sì fi ìbùkún bò ó.

While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.

7 Wọ́n ń lọ láti ipa dé ipá títí tí ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan fi farahàn níwájú Ọlọ́run ní Sioni.

[As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).

8 Gbọ́ àdúrà mi, Olúwa Ọlọ́run Alágbára; tẹ́tí sí mi, Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.

Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!

9 Wo asà wa, Ọlọ́run; fi ojú àánú wò àwọn ẹni àmì òróró rẹ.

God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].

10 Dídára ní ọjọ́ kan ní ààfin rẹ ju ẹgbẹ̀rún ọjọ́ lọ; èmi o kúkú máa ṣe aṣọ́nà nínú ilé Ọlọ́run mi jù láti gbé ní àgọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú.

[For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].

11 Nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run jẹ́ òòrùn àti asà; Olúwa fún ni ní ojúrere àti ọlá; kò sí ohun rere kan tí yóò fàsẹ́yìn fún àwọn tí ó rìn ní àìlábùkù.

Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.

12 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ìbùkún ni fún ọkùnrin náà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ.

Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
