Psalms 94

1 Lord, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth.

Olúwa Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ń gbẹ̀san, Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ń gbẹ̀san.

2 Rise up, judge of the earth, pay back the proud what they deserve.

Gbé ara rẹ sókè, ìwọ onídàájọ́ ayé; san ẹ̀san fún agbéraga ohun tí ó yẹ wọ́n.

3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult,

Báwo ní yóò ti pẹ́ tó, Olúwa tí àwọn ẹni búburú yóò kọ orin ayọ̀?

4 with their blustering arrogant words, their braggart and wicked speech,

Wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ ìgbéraga jáde; gbogbo àwọn olùṣe búburú kún fún ìṣògo.

5 crushing your people, Lord, and afflicting your heritage,

Wọ́n fọ́ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ túútúú, Olúwa: wọ́n pọ́n ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ lójú.

6 murdering widows and strangers, slaying the fatherless?

Wọ́n pa àwọn opó àti àlejò, wọ́n sì pa àwọn ọmọ aláìní baba.

7 They think that the Lord does not see, nor the God of Jacob regard it.

Wọ́n sọ pé, “Olúwa kò rí i; Ọlọ́run Jakọbu kò sì kíyèsi i.”

8 Take heed, you dullest of people; when will you be wise, you fools?

Kíyèsi i, ẹ̀yin aláìlóye nínú àwọn ènìyàn; ẹ̀yin aṣiwèrè, nígbà wo ni ẹ̀yin yóò lóye?

9 Is he deaf, who shaped the ear? Is he blind, who fashioned the eye?

Ẹni tí ó gbin etí, ó lè ṣe aláìgbọ́ bí? Ẹni tí ó dá ojú? Ó ha lè ṣe aláìríran bí?

10 Can he who trains nations not punish them he who teaches knowledge to people?

Ẹni tí ń bá orílẹ̀-èdè wí, ṣé kò lè tọ́ ni ṣọ́nà bí? Ẹni tí ń kọ́ ènìyàn ha lè ṣàìní ìmọ̀ bí?

11 The Lord knows the thoughts of people, that only a breath are they.

Olúwa mọ èrò inú ènìyàn; ó mọ̀ pé asán ni wọ́n.

12 Happy are those whom you chasten, and teach out of your law,

Ìbùkún ni fún ènìyàn náà tí ìwọ bá wí, Olúwa, ẹni tí ìwọ kọ́ nínú òfin rẹ,

13 keeping them calm in the day of misfortune, till a pit be dug for the wicked.

Ìwọ gbà á kúrò nínú ọjọ́ ibi, títí a ó fi wa ihò sílẹ̀ fún ẹni búburú.

14 For the Lord will not leave his people, he will not forsake his inheritance.

Nítorí Olúwa kò ní kọ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, Òun kò sì ní kọ ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.

15 For the righteous shall come to their rights, and all true-hearted people shall follow them.

Ìdájọ́ yóò padà sí òdodo, àti gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́kàn dídúró ṣinṣin yóò tẹ̀lé e lẹ́yìn.

16 Who will rise up for me against those who do evil? Who will stand up for me against workers of wrong?

Ta ni yóò dìde fún mi sí àwọn olùṣe búburú? Tàbí ta ni yóò dìde sí àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún mi?

17 Were it not for the help of the Lord, I would soon have gone to the silent grave.

Bí kò ṣe pé Olúwa fún mi ní ìrànlọ́wọ́, èmi fẹ́rẹ̀ máa gbé ní ilẹ̀ tí ó dákẹ́.

18 When I thought that my foot was slipping, your kindness, Lord, held me up.

Nígbà tí mo sọ pé, “Ẹsẹ̀ mi ń yọ̀”, Olúwa, ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ ni ó tì mí lẹ́yìn.

19 When with cares my heart was crowded, your comforts make me glad.

Nígbà tí àníyàn ńlá wà nínú mi, ìtùnú rẹ̀ mú ayọ̀ sí ọkàn mi.

20 Can corrupt justice be your ally, framing mischief by statute?

Ìjọba ìbàjẹ́ ha lè kẹ́gbẹ́ pẹ̀lú rẹ ẹni tí ń fi òfin dì mọ́ ìwà ìkà?

21 They assail the life of the righteous, and innocent blood condemn.

Wọ́n kó ara wọn jọ sí olódodo wọ́n sì ń dá àwọn aláìṣẹ̀ lẹ́bi sí ikú.

22 But the Lord is my sure retreat, my God is the rock of my refuge.

Ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa ti di odi alágbára mi, àti Ọlọ́run mi ni àpáta nínú ẹni tí mo ti ń gba ààbò.

23 He will bring back their sin upon them, for their wickedness he will destroy them; the Lord our God will destroy them.

Òun yóò san ẹ̀san ibi wọn fún wọn yóò sì pa wọ́n run nítorí búburú wọn Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa yóò pa wọ́n run.
