Psalms 37
1 Of David. Be not kindled to wrath at the wicked, nor envious of those who work wrong;
Ti Dafidi. Má ṣe ìkanra nítorí àwọn olùṣe búburú, kí ìwọ má sì ṣe ṣe ìlara nítorí àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀;
2 for, like grass, they will speedily wither, and fade like the green of young grass.
nítorí pé wọn yóò gbẹ bí i koríko, wọn yóò sì rẹ̀ dànù bí ewéko tútù.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; remain in the land, and deal faithfully:
Gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa, kí o sì máa ṣe rere; torí pé ìwọ yóò gbé ilẹ̀ náà, kí o sì gbádùn ààbò rẹ̀.
4 then the Lord will be your delight, he will grant you your heart’s petitions.
Ṣe inú dídùn sí Olúwa; òun yóò sì fún ọ ní ìfẹ́ inú rẹ̀.
5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act,
Fi ọ̀nà rẹ lé Olúwa lọ́wọ́; gbẹ́kẹ̀lé pẹ̀lú, òun yóò sì ṣe é.
6 making clear as the light your right, and your just cause clear as the noon-day.
Yóò sì mú kí òdodo rẹ̀ jáde bí ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀, àti ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ bí ọ̀sán gangan.
7 In silence and patience wait on the Lord. Be not kindled to anger at those who prosper. At those who execute evil devices.
Ìwọ dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ níwájú Olúwa, kí o sì fi sùúrù dúró dè é; má ṣe ṣe ìkanra nítorí àwọn tí ń rí rere ní ọ̀nà wọn, nítorí ọkùnrin náà ti mú èrò búburú ṣẹ.
8 Desist from anger, abandon wrath: be not kindled to anger it leads but to evil:
Fàsẹ́yìn nínú inúbíbí, kí o sì kọ ìkáàánú sílẹ̀, má ṣe ṣe ìkanra, kí ó má ba à ṣé búburú pẹ̀lú.
9 for evildoers will be cut off, but the land will be theirs, who wait on the Lord.
Nítorí tí á ó gé àwọn olùṣe búburú kúrò, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó bá dúró de Olúwa àwọn ni yóò jogún ilẹ̀ náà.
10 Yet but a little, and the wicked vanish: look at their place: they are there no more.
Síbẹ̀ nígbà díẹ̀ sí i, àwọn ènìyàn búburú kì yóò sí mọ̀; nítòótọ́ ìwọ yóò fi ara balẹ̀ wo ipò rẹ̀, wọn kì yóò sí níbẹ̀.
11 But the humble will have the land, and the rapture of peace in abundance.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́kàn tútù ni yóò jogún ilẹ̀ náà, wọn yóò sì máa ṣe inú dídùn nínú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àlàáfíà.
12 The wicked plots against the righteous, snarls like a wild animal;
Ènìyàn búburú di rìkíṣí sí olóòtítọ́, wọ́n sì pa eyín wọn keke sí wọn;
13 the Lord laughs, for he sees that his day is coming.
ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa rẹ́rìn-ín sí àwọn ènìyàn búburú, nítorí tí ó rí wí pé ọjọ́ wọn ń bọ̀.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword, and bent the bow, to fell the poor, to slay those who walk uprightly;
Ènìyàn búburú fa idà yọ, wọ́n sì tẹ àwọn ọrun wọn, láti sọ tálákà àti aláìní kalẹ̀, láti pa àwọn tí ó dúró ṣinṣin.
15 but their sword will pierce their own heart, and their bows will be broken in pieces.
Idà wọn yóò wọ àyà wọn lọ, àti wí pé ọrun wọn yóò sì ṣẹ́.
16 Better is the righteous person’s little than the wealth of many wicked.
Ohun díẹ̀ tí olódodo ní, sàn ju ọ̀pọ̀ ọrọ̀ ènìyàn búburú;
17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.
nítorí pé a óò ṣẹ́ ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa gbé olódodo sókè.
18 The Lord watches over the days of the blameless, their heritage will continue forever.
Olúwa mọ àwọn ọjọ́ àwọn tó dúró ṣinṣin, àti wí pé ilẹ̀ ìní wọn yóò wà títí ayérayé.
19 They will not be shamed in the evil time, in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
Ojú kì yóò tì wọ́n ní àkókò ibi, àti ní ọjọ́ ìyàn, a ó tẹ́ wọn lọ́rùn.
20 Because the wicked will perish: but the foes of the Lord, like a brand in the oven, will vanish, like smoke they will vanish.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn búburú yóò ṣègbé. Àwọn ọ̀tá Olúwa yóò dàbí ẹwà oko tútù; wọn fò lọ; bi èéfín ni wọn yóò fò lọ kúrò.
21 The wicked must borrow and cannot pay back, but the righteous is lavish and gives.
Àwọn ènìyàn búburú yá, wọn kò sì san án padà, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olódodo a máa ṣàánú, a sì máa fi fún ni;
22 For those blest by the Lord inherit the land, while those whom he curses will be cut off.
nítorí àwọn tí Olúwa bá bùkún ni yóò jogún ilẹ̀ náà, àwọn tí ó fi bú ni a ó gé kúrò.
23 The Lord supports the steps of those with whom he is pleased.
Ìlànà ìgbésẹ̀ ènìyàn rere wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá, o sì ṣe inú dídùn sí ọ̀nà rẹ̀;
24 Though they fall, they will not be cast headlong, for the Lord holds their hands.
bí ó tilẹ̀ ṣubú a kì yóò ta á nù pátápátá, nítorí tí Olúwa di ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mú.
25 Never, from youth to age, have I seen the righteous forsaken, or their children begging bread.
Èmi ti wà ni èwe, báyìí èmi sì dàgbà; síbẹ̀ èmi kò ì tí ì ri kí a kọ olódodo sílẹ̀, tàbí kí irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ máa ṣagbe oúnjẹ.
26 They are ever lavishly lending, and their children are fountains of blessing.
Aláàánú ni òun nígbà gbogbo a máa yá ni; a sì máa bùsi i fún ni.
27 Turn away from evil and do good and you will live in the land forever.
Lọ kúrò nínú ibi, kí o sì máa ṣe rere; nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò gbé ní ilẹ̀ náà títí láéláé.
28 For the Lord loves justice, he does not forsake his friends. The unrighteous will be destroyed forever, and the seed of the wicked will be cut off.
Nítorí pé Olúwa fẹ́ràn ìdájọ́ òtítọ́, kò sì kọ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀. Àwọn olódodo ni a ó pamọ́ títí ayérayé, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn búburú ni a ó ké kúrò.
29 But the land will belong to the righteous, they will live upon it forever,
Olódodo ni yóò jogún ilẹ̀ náà, yóò sì máa gbé ibẹ̀ títí ayérayé.
30 The mouth of the righteous murmurs wisdom, and words of justice are on their tongues.
Ẹnu olódodo sọ̀rọ̀ ọgbọ́n, ahọ́n rẹ̀ a sì máa sọ̀rọ̀ ìdájọ́.
31 The law of their God is in their heart, their steps are never unsteady.
Òfin Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní àyà wọn; àwọn ìgbésẹ̀ rẹ̀ kì yóò yẹ̀.
32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to put them to death.
Ènìyàn búburú ń ṣọ́ olódodo, Ó sì ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa á.
33 But the Lord leaves them not in their hand: at their trial they will not be held guilty.
Olúwa kì yóò fi lé e lọ́wọ́ kì yóò sì dá a lẹ́bi, nígbà tí a bá ń ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀.
34 Wait on the Lord, and observe his way: he will lift you to honour the land will be yours, you will feast your eyes on the doom of the wicked.
Dúró de Olúwa, kí o sì máa pa ọ̀nà rẹ̀ mọ́. Yóò sì gbé ọ lékè láti jogún ilẹ̀ náà; nígbà tí a bá gé àwọn ènìyàn búburú kúrò ìwọ yóò ri.
35 I have seen the wicked exultant, lifting themselves like a cedar of Lebanon.
Èmi ti rí ènìyàn búburú tí ń hu ìwà ìkà, ó sì fi ara rẹ̀ gbilẹ̀ bí igi tútù ńlá,
36 But the moment I passed, they vanished! I sought for them, but they could not be found.
ṣùgbọ́n ní ìṣẹ́jú kan sí i ó kọjá lọ, sì kíyèsi, kò sì sí mọ́; bi ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé mo wá a kiri, ṣùgbọ́n a kò le è ri.
37 Preserve your honour and practise uprightness, for such a person fares well in the end.
Máa kíyèsi ẹni pípé, kí o sì wo ẹni tó dúró ṣinṣin; nítorí àlàáfíà ni òpin ọkùnrin náà.
38 But transgressors will perish together. Cut off are the wicked forever.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olùrékọjá ni a ó parun papọ̀; ìran àwọn ènìyàn búburú ni a ó gé kúrò.
39 The righteous are saved by the Lord, who in time of distress is their refuge:
Ìgbàlà àwọn onídùúró ṣinṣin wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa; òun ni ààbò wọn ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú
40 the Lord helps and rescue them, from the wicked he rescues and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
Olúwa yóò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ yóò sì gbà wọ́n; yóò gbà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ ènìyàn búburú, yóò sì gbà wọ́n là, nítorí tí wọ́n gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e.
