Psalms 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
Saamu ti Asafu. Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run dára fún Israẹli, fún àwọn ọlọ́kàn funfun.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti èmi, ẹsẹ̀ mi ti yẹ̀ tán; ìrìn mi fẹ́rẹ̀ yọ̀ tán.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Nítorí èmi ń ṣe ìlara àwọn tó ń ṣe féfé nígbà tí mo bá rí àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn búburú.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
Wọn kò ṣe wàhálà; ara wọn mókun wọn sì lágbára.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
Wọn kò ní ìpín nínú àjàgà tó ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ènìyàn; a kò pọ́n wọn lójú nípa ẹlòmíràn.
6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
Ìgbéraga ni ọ̀ṣọ́ ọrùn wọn; ìwà ipá bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ bí aṣọ.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
Láti inú ọkàn àrékérekè ni àìṣòdodo ti wá; ẹ̀rí ọkàn búburú wọn kò ní òdínwọ̀n.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
Wọn ń ṣẹ̀sín, wọn sì ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì ní ti ìnilára, wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ láti ibi gíga.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth.
Wọ́n ń gbé ẹ̀mí wọn lé ọ̀run ahọ́n wọn gba ipò ayé.
10 Therefore his people return here: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn wọn yípadà sí wọn wọ́n sì mu omi ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
11 And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
Wọ́n wí pé, “Báwo ni Ọlọ́run yóò ṣe mọ̀? Ọ̀gá-ògo ha ní ìmọ̀ bí?”
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
Bí àwọn ènìyàn búburú ṣe rí nìyí, ènìyàn asán, wọ́n ń pọ̀ ní ọrọ̀.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
Nítòótọ́ nínú asán ni mo pa ọkàn mi mọ́; nínú asán ni mo wẹ ọwọ́ mi ní àìlẹ́ṣẹ̀.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ni a ń yọ mí lẹ́nu; a sì ń jẹ mí ní yà ní gbogbo òwúrọ̀.
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.
Bí mo bá wí pé, “Èmi ó wí báyìí,” èmi ó ṣẹ̀ sí ìran àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
Nígbà tí mo gbìyànjú láti mọ èyí, Ó jẹ́ ìnilára fún mi,
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
títí mo fi wọ ibi mímọ́ Ọlọ́run; nígbà náà ni òye ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn yé mi.
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you casted them down into destruction.
Lóòtítọ́ ìwọ gbé wọn lórí ilẹ̀ yíyọ́ ìwọ jù wọ́n sílẹ̀ sínú ìparun.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
Báwo ní a ti mú wọn lọ sínú ìdahoro yìí bí ẹni pé ní ìṣẹ́jú kan! Ìbẹ̀rù ni a fi ń run wọ́n pátápátá!
20 As a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when you awake, you shall despise their image.
Bí àlá nígbà tí ènìyàn bá jí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà tí ìwọ bá dìde, Olúwa, ìwọ yóò ṣe àbùkù àwòrán wọn.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
Nígbà tí inú mi bàjẹ́ àti ọkàn mi ṣì korò,
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
mo jẹ́ aṣiwèrè àti aláìlóye; mo jẹ́ ẹranko ní iwájú rẹ.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand.
Síbẹ̀ mo wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nígbà gbogbo; ìwọ di ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi mú.
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
Ìwọ fi ìmọ̀ràn rẹ tọ́ mi ní ìkẹyìn ìwọ ó mú mi lọ sí inú ògo.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
Ta ni mo ní ní ọ̀run, bí kò ṣe ìwọ? Àti ní ayé kò sí ohun tí mo fẹ́ lẹ́yìn rẹ.
26 My flesh and my heart fails: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Ara mi àti ọkàn mi le è kùnà ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ni agbára ẹ̀mí mi àti ìpín mi títí láé.
27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
Àwọn tí ó jìnnà sí ọ yóò ṣègbé ìwọ ti pa gbogbo wọn run; tí ń ṣe àgbèrè kiri kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.
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 your works.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti èmi, ó dára láti súnmọ́ Ọlọ́run. Èmi ti fi Olúwa Olódùmarè ṣe ààbò mi; kí èmi ó lè máa sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ.
