Psalms 69

1 Fún adarí orin. Tí ohùn “Àwọn Lílì.” Ti Dafidi. Gbà mí, Ọlọ́run, nítorí omi ti kún dé ọrùn mi.

For the end, [a Psalm] of David, for alternate [strains]. Save me, O God; for the waters have come in to my soul.

2 Mo ń rì nínú irà jíjìn, níbi tí kò sí ibi ìfẹsẹ̀lé. Mo ti wá sínú omi jíjìn; ìkún omi bò mí mọ́lẹ̀.

I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.

3 Agara dá mi, mo ń pè fún ìrànlọ́wọ́; ọ̀fun mí gbẹ, ojú mi ṣú, nígbà tí èmi dúró de Ọlọ́run mi.

I am weary [of] crying, my throat has become hoarse; mine eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.

4 Àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi láìnídìí wọ́n ju irun orí mi lọ, púpọ̀ ni àwọn ọ̀tá mi láìnídìí, àwọn tí ń wá láti pa mí run. A fi ipá mú mi láti san ohun tí èmi kò jí.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: my enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: then I restored that which I took not away.

5 Ìwọ mọ òmùgọ̀ mi, Ọlọ́run; ẹ̀bi mi kò pamọ́ lójú rẹ.

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from thee.

6 Má ṣe dójútì àwọn tí ó ní ìrètí nínú rẹ nítorí mi, Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun; má ṣe jẹ́ kí àwọn tó ń wá ọ dààmú nítorí mi, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.

Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek thee, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.

7 Nítorí rẹ ni mo ń ru ẹ̀gàn, ìtìjú sì bo ojú mi.

For I have suffered reproach for thy sake; shame has covered my face.

8 Mo jẹ́ àjèjì si àwọn arákùnrin mi; àlejò sí àwọn arákùnrin ìyá mi;

I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.

9 nítorí ìtara ilé rẹ jẹ mí run, àti ẹ̀gàn àwọn tí ń gàn ọ́ ṣubú lù mí.

For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

10 Nígbà tí mo sọkún tí mo sì ń fi àwẹ̀ jẹ ara mi ní ìyà èyí náà sì dín ẹ̀gàn mi kù;

And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.

11 nígbà tí mo wọ aṣọ àkísà, àwọn ènìyàn ń pa òwe mọ́ mi.

And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.

12 Àwọn tí ó jókòó ní ẹnu ibodè ń bú mi, mo sì di orin àwọn ọ̀mùtí.

They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.

13 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti èmi ni ìwọ ni èmi ń gbàdúrà mi sí Olúwa, ní ìgbà ìtẹ́wọ́gbà Ọlọ́run, nínú ìfẹ́ títóbi rẹ, dá mi lóhùn pẹ̀lú ìgbàlà rẹ tí ó dájú.

But I [will cry] to thee, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

14 Gbà mí kúrò nínú ẹrẹ̀, má ṣe jẹ́ kí n rì; gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi, kúrò nínú ibú omi.

Save me from the mire, that I stick not [in it]: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.

15 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ìkún omi bò mí mọ́lẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọ̀gbìn gbé mi mì kí o má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí ihò pa ẹnu rẹ̀ dé mọ́ mi.

Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.

16 Dá mí lóhùn, Olúwa, nínú ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ; nínú ọ̀pọ̀ àánú rẹ yípadà sí mi.

Hear me, O Lord; for thy mercy is good: according to the multitude of thy compassions look upon me.

17 Má ṣe pa ojú rẹ mọ́ fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ: yára dá mi lóhùn, nítorí mo wà nínú ìpọ́njú.

And turn not away thy face from thy servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.

18 Súnmọ́ tòsí kí o sì gbà mí là; rà mí padà nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi.

Draw nigh to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

19 Ìwọ ti mọ ẹ̀gàn mi, ìtìjú mi àti àìlọ́lá; gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá mi wà níwájú rẹ.

For thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before thee.

20 Ẹ̀gàn ba ọkàn mi jẹ́, wọ́n fi mí sílẹ̀ láìsí ìrànlọ́wọ́; mo ń wá aláàánú, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí, mo ń wá olùtùnú, ṣùgbọ́n n kò rí ẹnìkankan.

My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.

21 Wọ́n fi òróró fún mi pẹ̀lú ohun jíjẹ mi, àti ní òùngbẹ mi, wọ́n fi ọtí kíkan fún mi.

They gave [me] also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.

22 Jẹ́ kí tábìlì wọn kí ó di ìkẹ́kùn ní iwájú wọn, kí ó sì di okùn dídẹ fún àwọn tó wà ní àlàáfíà.

Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling-block.

23 Kí ojú wọn kì í ó ṣókùnkùn, kí wọn má ṣe ríran, kí ẹ̀yin wọn di títẹ̀ títí láé.

Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.

24 Tú ìbínú rẹ jáde sí wọn; kí ìbínú gbígbóná rẹ bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀.

Pour out thy wrath upon them, and let the fury of thine anger take hold on them.

25 Kí ibùjókòó wọn di ahoro; kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe gbé nínú wọn.

Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents:

26 Nítorí wọ́n ń ṣe inúnibíni sí ẹni tí ìwọ ti lù, àti ìrora àwọn tí ó ti ṣèṣe.

Because they persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.

27 Fi ẹ̀sùn kún ẹ̀sùn wọn; Má ṣe jẹ́ kí wọn pín nínú ìgbàlà rẹ.

Add iniquity to their iniquity; and let them not come into thy righteousness.

28 Jẹ́ kí a yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ìwé ìyè kí á má kà wọ́n pẹ̀lú àwọn olódodo.

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be written with the righteous.

29 Ṣùgbọ́n tálákà àti ẹni-ìkáàánú ni èmí, Ọlọ́run, jẹ́ kí ìgbàlà rẹ gbé mi lékè.

I am poor and sorrowful; but the salvation of thy countenance has helped me.

30 Èmi yóò fi orin gbé orúkọ Ọlọ́run ga èmi yóò fi ọpẹ́ gbé orúkọ rẹ̀ ga.

I will praise the name of my God with a song, I will magnify him with praise;

31 Eléyìí tẹ́ Olúwa lọ́rùn ju ọ̀dá màlúù lọ ju akọ màlúù pẹ̀lú ìwo rẹ̀ àti bàtà rẹ̀.

and [this] shall please God more than a young calf having horns and hoofs.

32 Àwọn òtòṣì yóò rí, wọn yóò sì yọ̀: ẹ̀yin yóò wá Ọlọ́run, ọkàn yín yóò sì wà láààyè!

Let the poor see and rejoice; seek the Lord diligently, and ye shall live.

33 Olúwa, gbọ́ ti aláìní, kì ó sì kọ àwọn ìgbèkùn sílẹ̀.

For the Lord hears the poor, and does not set at nought his fettered ones.

34 Kí ọ̀run àti ayé yìn ín, òkun àti àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀,

Let the heavens and the earth raise him, the sea, and all things moving in them.

35 nítorí tí Ọlọ́run yóò gba Sioni là yóò sì tún àwọn ìlú Juda wọ̀nyí kọ́. Kí wọn ó lè máa gbé ibẹ̀, kí wọn ó lè máa ní ní ilẹ̀ ìní;

For God will save Sion, and the cities of Judea shall be built; and [men] shall dwell there, and inherit it.

36 àwọn ọmọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ni yóò máa jogún rẹ̀, àwọn tí ó fẹ́ orúkọ rẹ ni yóò máa gbé inú rẹ̀.

And the seed of his servants shall possess it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
