< Psalms 91 >
1 Ẹni tí ó gbé ibi ìkọ̀kọ̀ Ọ̀gá-ògo ni yóò sinmi ní ibi òjìji Olódùmarè.
Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.
2 Èmi yóò sọ nípa ti Olúwa pé, “Òun ni ààbò àti odi mi, Ọlọ́run mi, ẹni tí èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé”.
He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.
3 Nítòótọ́ òun yóò gbà mí nínú ìdẹ̀kùn àwọn pẹyẹpẹyẹ àti nínú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn búburú.
For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.
4 Òun yóò fi ìyẹ́ rẹ̀ bò mí, àti ni abẹ́ ìyẹ́ rẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti rí ààbò; òtítọ́ rẹ̀ ni yóò ṣe ààbò àti odi mi.
He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.
5 Ìwọ kì yóò bẹ̀rù nítorí ẹ̀rù òru, tàbí fún ọfà tí ń fò ní ọ̀sán,
Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;
6 tàbí fún àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn tí ń rìn kiri ní òkùnkùn, tàbí fún ìparun tí ń rìn kiri ní ọ̀sán gangan.
[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.
7 Ẹgbẹ̀rún yóò ṣubú ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ, ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Ìwọ yóò máa wò ó pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ àti wo ìjìyà àwọn ẹni búburú.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.
9 Nítorí ìwọ fi Olúwa ṣe ààbò rẹ, ìwọ fi Ọ̀gá-ògo ṣe ibùgbé rẹ.
For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge.
10 Búburú kan ki yóò ṣubú lù ọ́, Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ààrùnkárùn kì yóò súnmọ́ ilé rẹ.
No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh to thy dwelling.
11 Nítorí yóò fi àṣẹ fún àwọn angẹli nípa tìrẹ láti pa ọ́ mọ́ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ;
For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 wọn yóò gbé ọ sókè ní ọwọ́ wọn, nítorí kí ìwọ má ba à fi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ gún òkúta.
They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Ìwọ yóò rìn lórí kìnnìún àti paramọ́lẹ̀; ìwọ yóò tẹ kìnnìún ńlá àti ejò ńlá ni ìwọ yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.
Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.
14 “Nítorí ti ìfẹ́ rẹ sí mi, èmi yóò gbà ọ́; èmi yóò pa ọ́ mọ́, nítorí ìwọ jẹ́wọ́ orúkọ mi.
For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.
15 Òun yóò pè mí, èmi yóò sì dá a lóhùn; èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú ìpọ́njú, èmi yóò gbà á, èmi yóò sì bu ọlá fún un.
He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
16 Pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí gígùn ni èmi yóò fi tẹ́ ẹ lọ́rùn, èmi yóò sì fi ìgbàlà mi hàn án.”
I will satisfy him with length of days, and shew him my salvation.
