Psalms 81

1 Sing [songs] to praise God, who enables us to be strong [when we fight our enemies]; shout joyfully to God, whom we (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) [worship]!

Fún adarí orin. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti gittiti. Ti Asafu. Kọrin sókè sí Ọlọ́run agbára wa ẹ hó ìhó ayọ̀ sí Ọlọ́run Jakọbu!

2 Start [playing] the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and (lyres/other stringed instruments).

Ẹ mú orin mímọ́, kí ẹ sì mú ìlù wá, tẹ dùùrù dídùn pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin mímọ́.

3 Blow the trumpets [during the festival to celebrate] each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our [other] festivals.

Ẹ fún ìpè ní oṣù tuntun àní nígbà tí a yàn; ní ọjọ́ àjọ wa tí ó ní ìrònú.

4 [Do that] because that is a law for [us] Israeli [people]; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.

Èyí ni àṣẹ fún Israẹli, àti òfin Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.

5 He commanded us Israeli [people to obey it] when he punished [the people of] Egypt. I heard someone [MTY] whose voice I did not recognize, saying,

Ó fi múlẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà fún Josẹfu nígbà tí ó la ilẹ̀ Ejibiti já. Níbi tí a ti gbọ́ èdè tí kò yé wa.

6 “[After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves], I took those [heavy] burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those [heavy] baskets [of bricks that you were carrying].

Ó wí pé, “Mo gbé àjàgà kúrò ní èjìká yín, a tú ọwọ́ wọn sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú apẹ̀rẹ̀.

7 When you were [greatly] distressed, you called [out to me], and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. [Later] I tested [whether you would trust me to give you] water [when you were in the desert] at Meribah.

Nínú ìnilára ni ẹ pè mo sì gbà yín là, mo dá a yín lóhùn nínú ìkọ̀kọ̀ àrá, mo dán an yín wò ní odò Meriba. (Sela)

8 [You who are] my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli [people] would pay attention to what I [say to you]!

“Gbọ́, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, èmi ó sì kìlọ̀ fún un yín, bí ìwọ bá fetí sí mi, ìwọ Israẹli.

9 You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!

Ẹ̀yin kì yóò ní Ọlọ́run ilẹ̀ mìíràn láàrín yín; ẹ̀yin kì yóò foríbalẹ̀ fún Ọlọ́run àjèjì.

10 I am Yahweh, your God; It was [not any of those other gods] who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! [So] ask me what you want me to do for you [MTY], and I will do it.

Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, ẹni tí ó mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti. Ẹ la ẹnu yín gbòòrò, èmi yóò sì kún un.

11 But my people would not listen to me [SYN]; they would not obey me.

“Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn mi kì yóò gbọ́ tèmi; Israẹli kò ní tẹríba fún mi.

12 So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.

Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe fi wọ́n fún ọkàn líle wọn láti máa rìn ní ọ̀nà ẹ̀tàn wọn.

13 I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli [people] would behave as I want them to do.

“Bí àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò bá gbọ́ tèmi bí Israẹli yóò bá tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà mi,

14 [If they did that], I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish [all of] them [DOU].

ní kánkán ni èmi yóò ṣẹ́gun àwọn ọ̀tá wọn kí n sì yí ọwọ́ mi padà sí ọ̀tá wọn!

15 [Then all] those who hate me would (cringe before/bow down to) me, and [then I] would punish them [MTY] forever.

Àwọn tí ó kórìíra Olúwa yóò tẹríba níwájú rẹ̀. Ìjìyà wọn yóò sì pẹ́ títí láé.

16 [But] I would give you [Israelis] very good wheat/grain, and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey.”

Ṣùgbọ́n a ó fi ọkà tí ó dára bọ́ ọ yín èmi ó tẹ́ ẹ yín lọ́rùn pẹ̀lú oyin inú àpáta.”
