< Psalms 91 >
1 Ẹni tí ó gbé ibi ìkọ̀kọ̀ Ọ̀gá-ògo ni yóò sinmi ní ibi òjìji Olódùmarè.
Those who live under the protection of the Most High are kept safe by the Almighty.
2 Èmi yóò sọ nípa ti Olúwa pé, “Òun ni ààbò àti odi mi, Ọlọ́run mi, ẹni tí èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé”.
This is what I say about the Lord: “He is the one who defends and protects me. He is my God, and I trust in him.”
3 Nítòótọ́ òun yóò gbà mí nínú ìdẹ̀kùn àwọn pẹyẹpẹyẹ àti nínú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn búburú.
For he will save you from hidden traps and deadly diseases.
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 will hide you under his feathers, and shelter you with his wings. His trustworthiness shields and protects you.
5 Ìwọ kì yóò bẹ̀rù nítorí ẹ̀rù òru, tàbí fún ọfà tí ń fò ní ọ̀sán,
You will not be afraid of terror at night or an arrow that flies in the day,
6 tàbí fún àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn tí ń rìn kiri ní òkùnkùn, tàbí fún ìparun tí ń rìn kiri ní ọ̀sán gangan.
or disease that attacks at night, or catastrophe that falls at noon.
7 Ẹgbẹ̀rún yóò ṣubú ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ, ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.
A thousand may fall beside you, ten thousand die at your right hand, but you won't be harmed.
8 Ìwọ yóò máa wò ó pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ àti wo ìjìyà àwọn ẹni búburú.
You only have to open your eyes and you will see how the wicked are repaid.
9 Nítorí ìwọ fi Olúwa ṣe ààbò rẹ, ìwọ fi Ọ̀gá-ògo ṣe ibùgbé rẹ.
Because you have made the Lord your protection, and the Most High your home,
10 Búburú kan ki yóò ṣubú lù ọ́, Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ààrùnkárùn kì yóò súnmọ́ ilé rẹ.
nothing evil will happen to you; no plague will come near where you live.
11 Nítorí yóò fi àṣẹ fún àwọn angẹli nípa tìrẹ láti pa ọ́ mọ́ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ;
For he will command his angels to take care of you in everything you do.
12 wọn yóò gbé ọ sókè ní ọwọ́ wọn, nítorí kí ìwọ má ba à fi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ gún òkúta.
They will hold you up with their hands so you won't trip and fall down.
13 Ìwọ yóò rìn lórí kìnnìún àti paramọ́lẹ̀; ìwọ yóò tẹ kìnnìún ńlá àti ejò ńlá ni ìwọ yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.
You will trample lions and snakes; you will tread young lions and serpents underfoot.
14 “Nítorí ti ìfẹ́ rẹ sí mi, èmi yóò gbà ọ́; èmi yóò pa ọ́ mọ́, nítorí ìwọ jẹ́wọ́ orúkọ mi.
I will save anyone who loves me; I will protect anyone who accepts me.
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.
When they call out to me for help, I will answer; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will save and honor them.
16 Pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí gígùn ni èmi yóò fi tẹ́ ẹ lọ́rùn, èmi yóò sì fi ìgbàlà mi hàn án.”
I will grant them long lives, and show them my salvation.
