Psalms 94
1 Olúwa Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ń gbẹ̀san, Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ń gbẹ̀san.
O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
2 Gbé ara rẹ sókè, ìwọ onídàájọ́ ayé; san ẹ̀san fún agbéraga ohun tí ó yẹ wọ́n.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
3 Báwo ní yóò ti pẹ́ tó, Olúwa tí àwọn ẹni búburú yóò kọ orin ayọ̀?
How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ ìgbéraga jáde; gbogbo àwọn olùṣe búburú kún fún ìṣògo.
[How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Wọ́n fọ́ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ túútúú, Olúwa: wọ́n pọ́n ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ lójú.
They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
6 Wọ́n pa àwọn opó àti àlejò, wọ́n sì pa àwọn ọmọ aláìní baba.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
7 Wọ́n sọ pé, “Olúwa kò rí i; Ọlọ́run Jakọbu kò sì kíyèsi i.”
And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
8 Kíyèsi i, ẹ̀yin aláìlóye nínú àwọn ènìyàn; ẹ̀yin aṣiwèrè, nígbà wo ni ẹ̀yin yóò lóye?
Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Ẹni tí ó gbin etí, ó lè ṣe aláìgbọ́ bí? Ẹni tí ó dá ojú? Ó ha lè ṣe aláìríran bí?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Ẹni tí ń bá orílẹ̀-èdè wí, ṣé kò lè tọ́ ni ṣọ́nà bí? Ẹni tí ń kọ́ ènìyàn ha lè ṣàìní ìmọ̀ bí?
He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct — he that teacheth man knowledge?
11 Olúwa mọ èrò inú ènìyàn; ó mọ̀ pé asán ni wọ́n.
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Ìbùkún ni fún ènìyàn náà tí ìwọ bá wí, Olúwa, ẹni tí ìwọ kọ́ nínú òfin rẹ,
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
13 Ìwọ gbà á kúrò nínú ọjọ́ ibi, títí a ó fi wa ihò sílẹ̀ fún ẹni búburú.
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Nítorí Olúwa kò ní kọ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, Òun kò sì ní kọ ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
15 Ìdájọ́ yóò padà sí òdodo, àti gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́kàn dídúró ṣinṣin yóò tẹ̀lé e lẹ́yìn.
For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Ta ni yóò dìde fún mi sí àwọn olùṣe búburú? Tàbí ta ni yóò dìde sí àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún mi?
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Bí kò ṣe pé Olúwa fún mi ní ìrànlọ́wọ́, èmi fẹ́rẹ̀ máa gbé ní ilẹ̀ tí ó dákẹ́.
If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Nígbà tí mo sọ pé, “Ẹsẹ̀ mi ń yọ̀”, Olúwa, ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ó tì mí lẹ́yìn.
When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
19 Nígbà tí àníyàn ńlá wà nínú mi, ìtùnú rẹ̀ mú ayọ̀ sí ọkàn mi.
In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
20 Ìjọba ìbàjẹ́ ha lè kẹ́gbẹ́ pẹ̀lú rẹ ẹni tí ń fi òfin dì mọ́ ìwà ìkà?
Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
21 Wọ́n kó ara wọn jọ sí olódodo wọ́n sì ń dá àwọn aláìṣẹ̀ lẹ́bi sí ikú.
They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa ti di odi alágbára mi, àti Ọlọ́run mi ni àpáta nínú ẹni tí mo ti ń gba ààbò.
But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 Òun yóò san ẹ̀san ibi wọn fún wọn yóò sì pa wọ́n run nítorí búburú wọn Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa yóò pa wọ́n run.
And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
