Psalms 102

1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, LORD! Let my cry come to you.

Àdúrà olùpọ́njú tí àárẹ̀ mú, tí ó sí ọkàn rẹ̀ payá níwájú Olúwa. Gbọ́ àdúrà mi, Olúwa, jẹ́ kí igbe ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi kí ó wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.

2 Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

Má ṣe pa ojú rẹ mọ́ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi ní ọjọ́ tí èmi wà nínú ìpọ́njú. Dẹ etí rẹ sí mi; nígbà tí mo bá pè, dá mi lóhùn kíákíá.

3 For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.

Nítorí tí ọjọ́ mi run bí èéfín; egungun mi sì jóná bí ààrò.

4 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

Àyà mi lù, ó sì rọ bí i koríko; mo gbàgbé láti jẹ oúnjẹ mi.

5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.

Nítorí ohùn ìkérora mi, egungun mi lẹ̀ mọ́ ẹran-ara mi.

6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

Èmi dàbí ẹyẹ igún ní ijù: èmi dàbí òwìwí ibi ahoro.

7 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.

Èmi dìde; èmi dàbí ẹyẹ lórí ilé.

8 My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.

Ní ọjọ́ gbogbo, àwọn ọ̀tá ológoṣẹ́ mi ń gàn mí; àwọn tí ń ṣe ìkanra sí mi ń fi orúkọ mi bú.

9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

Èmi jẹ eérú gẹ́gẹ́ bí oúnjẹ mi, èmi sì da ohun mímu mi pọ̀ pẹ̀lú omijé.

10 because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.

Nítorí ìbínú ríru rẹ, nítorí ìwọ ti gbé mi sókè, ìwọ sì gbé mi ṣánlẹ̀.

11 My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.

Ọjọ́ mi dàbí òjìji àṣálẹ́ èmi sì rọ bí koríko.

12 But you, LORD, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.

Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Olúwa, ni yóò dúró láéláé; ìrántí rẹ láti ìran dé ìran.

13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.

Ìwọ ó dìde ìwọ ó sì ṣàánú fún Sioni, nítorí ìgbà àti ṣe ojúrere sí i; àkókò náà ti dé.

14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.

Nítorí tí àwọn òkúta jẹ́ inú dídùn sí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ; wọ́n sì káàánú erùpẹ̀ rẹ.

15 So the nations will fear the LORD’s name, all the kings of the earth your glory.

Àwọn kèfèrí yóò bẹ̀rù orúkọ Olúwa, gbogbo ọba ayé yóò máa bẹ̀rù ògo rẹ.

16 For the LORD has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.

Torí tí Olúwa yóò gbé Sioni ró, yóò farahàn nínú ògo rẹ̀.

17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

Yóò dáhùn àdúrà àwọn aláìní; kì yóò sì gan ẹ̀bẹ̀ wọn.

18 This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise the LORD,

Jẹ́ kí a kọ èyí fún ìran tí ń bọ̀, àwọn ènìyàn tí a kò tí ì dá yóò yin Olúwa:

19 for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, the LORD saw the earth,

“Olúwa wo ilẹ̀ láti òkè mímọ́ rẹ̀ wá láti ọ̀run wá ni ó bojú wo ayé,

20 to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned to death,

láti gbọ́ ìrora ará túbú, láti tú àwọn tí a yàn sí ikú sílẹ̀.”

21 that men may declare the LORD’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,

Kí a lè sọ orúkọ Olúwa ní Sioni àti ìyìn rẹ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu.

22 when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

Ní ìgbà tí a kó àwọn ènìyàn àti ìjọba pọ̀ láti máa sìn Olúwa.

23 He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.

Ní ipa ọ̀nà mi, ó rẹ agbára mi sílẹ̀, ó gé ọjọ́ mi kúrú.

24 I said, “My God, do not take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

Èmi sì wí pé: “Ọlọ́run mi, má ṣe mú mi kúrò ní agbede-méjì ọjọ́ mi; ọdún rẹ̀ ń lọ láti ìran dé ìran.

25 Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

Ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ní ìwọ fi ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, ọ̀run sì jẹ́ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ.

26 They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

Wọn yóò ṣègbé, wọn yóò parun, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò wà; gbogbo wọn ni yóò gbó bí aṣọ. Bí ẹ̀wù ni ìwọ yóò pààrọ̀ wọn wọn yóò sì di àpatì.

27 But you are the same. Your years will have no end.

Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ wà digbí síbẹ̀, ọdún rẹ kò sì ní òpin.

28 The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”

Àwọn ọmọ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ yóò dúró ní iwájú rẹ pẹ́; a ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ irú-ọmọ wọn sọlẹ̀ ní iwájú rẹ.”
