Psalms 73 - Listen Online

¹ NITÕTỌ Ọlọrun ṣeun fun Israeli, fun iru awọn ti iṣe alaiya mimọ́.

¹ Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

² Ṣugbọn bi o ṣe ti emi ni, ẹsẹ mi fẹrẹ yẹ̀ tan; ìrin mi fẹrẹ yọ́ tan.

² But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

³ Nitori ti emi ṣe ilara si awọn aṣe-fefe, nigbati mo ri alafia awọn enia buburu.

³ For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

⁴ Nitoriti kò si irora ninu ikú wọn: agbara wọn si pọ̀.

⁴ For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

⁵ Nwọn kò ni ipin ninu iyọnu enia; bẹ̃ni a kò si wahala wọn pẹlu ẹlomiran.

⁵ They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

⁶ Nitorina ni igberaga ṣe ká wọn lọrun bi ẹ̀wọn ọṣọ́; ìwa-ipa bò wọn mọlẹ bi aṣọ.

⁶ Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

⁷ Oju wọn yọ jade fun isanra: nwọn ní jù bi ọkàn wọn ti nfẹ lọ.

⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

⁸ Nwọn nṣẹsin, nwọn si nsọ̀rọ buburu niti inilara: nwọn nsọ̀rọ lati ibi giga.

⁸ They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

⁹ Nwọn gbé ẹnu wọn le ọrun, ahọn wọn si nrìn ilẹ já.

⁹ They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

¹⁰ Nitorina li awọn enia rẹ̀ ṣe yipada si ihin: ọ̀pọlọpọ omi li a si npọn jade fun wọn.

¹⁰ Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

¹¹ Nwọn si wipe, Ọlọrun ti ṣe mọ̀? ìmọ ha wà ninu Ọga-ogo?

¹¹ And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

¹² Kiyesi i, awọn wọnyi li alaìwa-bi-ọlọrun, ẹniti aiye nsan, nwọn npọ̀ li ọrọ̀.

¹² Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

¹³ Nitõtọ li asan ni mo wẹ̀ aiya mi mọ́, ti mo si wẹ̀ ọwọ mi li ailẹ̀ṣẹ.

¹³ Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

¹⁴ Nitoripe ni gbogbo ọjọ li a nyọ mi lẹnu, a si nnà mi li orowurọ.

¹⁴ For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

¹⁵ Bi emi ba pe, emi o fọ̀ bayi: kiyesi i, emi o ṣẹ̀ si iran awọn ọmọ rẹ.

¹⁵ If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

¹⁶ Nigbati mo rò lati mọ̀ eyi, o ṣoro li oju mi.

¹⁶ When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁷ Titi mo fi lọ sinu ibi-mimọ́ Ọlọrun; nigbana ni mo mọ̀ igbẹhin wọn.

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

¹⁸ Nitõtọ iwọ gbé wọn ka ibi yiyọ́: iwọ tì wọn ṣubu sinu iparun.

¹⁸ Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

¹⁹ Bawo li a ti mu wọn lọ sinu idahoro yi, bi ẹnipe ni iṣẹju kan! ibẹru li a fi nrun wọn patapata.

¹⁹ How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

²⁰ Bi igbati ẹnikan ba ji li oju alá; bẹ̃ni Oluwa, nigbati iwọ ba ji, iwọ o ṣe àbuku àworan wọn.

²⁰ As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

²¹ Bayi ni inu mi bajẹ, ẹgún si gun mi li ọkàn mi.

²¹ Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

²² Bẹ̃ni mo ṣiwere, ti emi kò si mọ̀ nkan; mo dabi ẹranko niwaju rẹ.

²² So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

²³ Ṣugbọn emi wà pẹlu rẹ nigbagbogbo: iwọ li o ti di ọwọ ọtún mi mu.

²³ Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

²⁴ Iwọ o fi ìmọ rẹ tọ́ mi li ọ̀na, ati nigbẹhin iwọ o gbà mi sinu ogo.

²⁴ Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

²⁵ Tani mo ni li ọrun bikoṣe iwọ? kò si si ohun ti mo fẹ li aiye pẹlu rẹ.

²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

²⁶ Ẹran-ara mi ati aiya mi di ãrẹ̀ tan: ṣugbọn Ọlọrun ni apata aiya mi, ati ipin mi lailai.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

²⁷ Sa wò o, awọn ti o jina si ọ yio ṣegbe: iwọ ti pa gbogbo wọn run ti nṣe àgbere kiri kuro lọdọ rẹ.

²⁷ For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

²⁸ Ṣugbọn o dara fun mi lati sunmọ Ọlọrun: emi ti gbẹkẹ mi le Oluwa Ọlọrun, ki emi ki o le ma sọ̀rọ iṣẹ rẹ gbogbo.

²⁸ But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
