Psalms 89
1 Maskili ti Etani ará Esra. Èmi kọrin títóbi ìfẹ́ Olúwa títí láé; pẹ̀lú ẹnu mi ní èmi yóò jẹ́ kí a mọ òtítọ́ rẹ láti ìran dé ìran.
An instruction. Of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving-kindness of Jehovah for ever; with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness from generation to generation.
2 Èmi ó wí pé, ìfẹ́ rẹ dúró títí láé, pé ìwọ gbe òtítọ́ rẹ kalẹ̀ ní ọ̀run fúnra rẹ̀.
For I said, Loving-kindness shall be built up for ever; in the very heavens wilt thou establish thy faithfulness.
3 Ìwọ wí pé, “Èmi ti dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú àwọn àyànfẹ́ mi mo ti búra fún Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi.
I have made a covenant with mine elect, I have sworn unto David my servant:
4 ‘Èmi ó fi ìdí irú-ọmọ rẹ múlẹ̀ títí láé èmí ó sì máa gbe ìtẹ́ rẹ ró láti ìran dé ìran.’”
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne from generation to generation. (Selah)
5 Àwọn ọ̀run yóò máa yin iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ, Olúwa, òtítọ́ rẹ ni ìpéjọpọ̀ àwọn ẹni mímọ́.
And the heavens shall celebrate thy wonders, O Jehovah, and thy faithfulness in the congregation of the saints.
6 Ta ni ó wà ní ọ̀run tí a lè fiwé Olúwa? Ta ni nínú àwọn ọmọ alágbára ti a lè fiwé Olúwa?
For who in the heaven can be compared to Jehovah? [who] among the sons of the mighty shall be likened to Jehovah?
7 Nínú àjọ ìgbìmọ̀ ẹni mímọ́, wọ́n bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run gidigidi; ó sì ní ìbùyìn fún ju gbogbo àwọn tí ó yí i ká.
God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and terrible for all that are round about him.
8 Olúwa Ọlọ́run alágbára, ta ló dàbí rẹ ìwọ jẹ́ alágbára, Olúwa, òtítọ́ rẹ sì yí ọ ká.
Jehovah, God of hosts, who is like unto thee, the strong Jah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
9 Ìwọ ń darí ríru omi Òkun; nígbà tí ó ru àwọn omi sókè, ìwọ mú wọn parọ́rọ́.
Thou rulest the pride of the sea: when its waves arise, thou stillest them.
10 Ìwọ ni ó ti ya Rahabu pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ bí ẹni tí a pa; ìwọ ti fi apá ọwọ́ agbára rẹ tú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ ká.
Thou hast crushed Rahab as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.
11 Tìrẹ ní àwọn ọ̀run, ayé pẹ̀lú jẹ́ tìrẹ: ayé àti ohun gbogbo tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀: ìwọ ti gbé wọn kalẹ̀.
Thine are the heavens, the earth also is thine; the world and its fulness, thou hast founded them.
12 Gúúsù àti àríwá ìwọ ni ó dá wọn; Tabori àti Hermoni ń fi ayọ̀ yin orúkọ rẹ.
The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon triumph in thy name.
13 Ìwọ ní apá agbára; agbára ní ọwọ́ rẹ, gíga ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ.
Thine is the arm of might: strong is thy hand, high is thy right hand.
14 Òdodo àti òtítọ́ ni ìpìlẹ̀ ìtẹ́ rẹ: ìdúró ṣinṣin ìfẹ́ àti òtítọ́ ń lọ síwájú rẹ.
Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of thy throne; loving-kindness and truth go before thy face.
15 Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ènìyàn tí wọn mọ ohùn ayọ̀ nì, Olúwa wọ́n ó máa rìn ní ìmọ́lẹ̀ ojú rẹ.
Blessed is the people that know the shout of joy: they walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.
16 Wọn ń ṣògo nínú orúkọ rẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́, wọn ń yin òdodo rẹ.
In thy name are they joyful all the day, and in thy righteousness are they exalted.
17 Nítorí ìwọ ni ògo agbára wọn; nípa ojúrere ni ìwo wá ń ṣògo.
For thou art the glory of their strength; and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 Nítorí ti Olúwa ni asà wa, ọba wa sì ni Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli.
For Jehovah is our shield, and the Holy One of Israel, our king.
19 Nígbà náà ni ìwọ sọ̀rọ̀ nínú ìran, sí àwọn olóòtítọ́ rẹ, wí pé, “Èmi ti gbé adé kalẹ̀ sórí ẹni tí ó lágbára, èmi ti gbé ẹni tí a yàn láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn ga.
Then thou spakest in vision of thy Holy One, and saidst, I have laid help upon a mighty one; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 Èmi ti rí Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi; pẹ̀lú òróró mímọ́ mi ni mo fi yàn án.
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 Ìgbà gbogbo ni ọwọ́ mi yóò máa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ apá mí yóò sì fi agbára fún un.
With whom my hand shall be established; and mine arm shall strengthen him.
22 Àwọn ọ̀tá kì yóò borí rẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn búburú kì yóò rẹ̀ ẹ́ sílẹ̀.
No enemy shall exact upon him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him;
23 Èmi yóò run àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ níwájú rẹ èmi yóò lu àwọn tí ó kórìíra rẹ bolẹ̀.
But I will beat down his adversaries before his face, and will smite them that hate him.
24 Òtítọ́ mi àti ìdúró ṣinṣin ìfẹ́ yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ àti ní orúkọ mi ni a ó gbé ìwo rẹ ga.
And my faithfulness and my loving-kindness shall be with him, and by my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 Èmi ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ lórí òkun, àti ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ lórí àwọn odo ńlá.
And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 Òun yóò kígbe sí mi pé, ‘Ìwọ ni baba mi, Ọlọ́run mi, àti àpáta ìgbàlà mi!’
He shall call unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation;
27 Èmi yóò ṣe é ni àkọ́bí mi, ẹni gíga ju àwọn ọba ayé.
And as to me, I will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 Títí láé ni èmi yóò pa ìfẹ́ dídúró ṣinṣin mọ́ fún un, àti májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ yóò dúró gbọingbọin.
My loving-kindness will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him;
29 Èmi ó fi ìdí irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ títí láé, àti ìtẹ́ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀run ti wà láé.
And I will establish his seed for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 “Bí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ bá kọ òfin mi sílẹ̀ tí wọn kò sì rìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà mi.
If his sons forsake my law, and walk not in mine ordinances;
31 Tí wọn bá ba ìlànà mi jẹ́ tí wọn kò sì pa àṣẹ mi mọ́,
If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments:
32 nígbà náà ni èmi ó fì ọ̀gọ̀ bẹ ìrékọjá wọn wò; àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn pẹ̀lú pàṣán;
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò ní mú ìfẹ́ mi tí ó dúró ṣinṣin kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò jẹ́ kí òtítọ́ mi kí ó yẹ̀.
Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor belie my faithfulness;
34 Èmi kì yóò sẹ́ májẹ̀mú mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò yí ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó ti ẹnu mi jáde padà.
My covenant will I not profane, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Lẹ́ẹ̀kan ṣoṣo ni èmi ti fi ìwà mímọ́ mi búra; èmi kì yóò purọ́ fún Dafidi.
Once have I sworn by my holiness; I will not lie unto David:
36 Irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò dúró títí láé, àti ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ yóò dúró bí oòrùn níwájú mi.
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me;
37 A ó fi múlẹ̀ títí láé bí òṣùpá, àti bi ẹlẹ́rìí òtítọ́ ni ọ̀run.” (Sela)
It shall be established for ever as the moon, and the witness in the sky is firm. (Selah)
38 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ìwọ ti ṣá tì, ìwọ sì kórìíra; ìwọ kún fún ìrunú sí ẹni àmì òróró rẹ.
But thou hast rejected and cast off; thou hast been very wroth with thine anointed:
39 Ìwọ ti sọ májẹ̀mú ìránṣẹ́ rẹ di òfo; ìwọ tàbùkù adé rẹ nínú eruku.
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant; thou hast profaned his crown to the ground:
40 Ìwọ ti wó gbogbo àwọn odi rẹ̀ ìwọ sọ ibi gíga rẹ̀ di ahoro.
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 Àwọn tí ń kọjá lọ fi ṣe ìjẹ; ó ti di ẹ̀gàn àwọn olùbágbé rẹ̀.
All that pass by the way plunder him; he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
42 Ìwọ ti gbé ọwọ́ ọ̀tún ọ̀tá rẹ̀ sókè; ìwọ mú gbogbo ọ̀tá rẹ̀ yọ̀.
Thou hast exalted the right hand of his oppressors; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice:
43 Pẹ̀lú, ìwọ ti yí ojú idà rẹ̀ padà, ìwọ kò sì dúró tì í nínú ogun.
Yea, thou hast turned back the edge of his sword, and hast not made him stand in the battle.
44 Ìwọ ti mú ògo rẹ̀ kùnà, ìwọ si wó ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ palẹ̀ sílẹ̀ẹ́lẹ̀.
Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground;
45 Ìwọ ti gé ọjọ́ èwe rẹ̀ kúrú; ìwọ sì fi ìtìjú bò ó.
The days of his youth hast thou shortened; thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
46 Yóò ti pẹ́ tó, Olúwa? Tí ìwọ ó ha fi ara rẹ pamọ́ títí láé? Yóò ti pẹ́ to tí ìbínú rẹ yóò máa jó bí iná?
How long, Jehovah, wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy fury burn like fire?
47 Rántí bí ọjọ́ mi ti kúrú tó nítorí asán ha ni ìwọ fi ṣẹ̀dá àwọn ènìyàn!
Remember, as regards me, what life is. Wherefore hast thou created all the children of men to be vanity?
What man liveth, and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 Olúwa, níbo ni ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ àtijọ́ wà, tí ìwọ ti fi òtítọ́ rẹ búra fún Dafidi?
Where, Lord, are thy former loving-kindnesses, [which] thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?
50 Rántí, Olúwa, bí a ti ń gan àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ; bí èmi ti gbà ní àyà mi láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn,
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants — that I bear in my bosom [that of] all the mighty peoples —
51 ẹ̀gàn tí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ gàn, Olúwa, tí wọn gan ipasẹ̀ ẹni àmì òróró rẹ.
Wherewith thine enemies, O Jehovah, have reproached, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52 Olùbùkún ní Olúwa títí láé.
Blessed be Jehovah for evermore! Amen, and Amen.
