Papa Call Court Make Everybody Siddon
Na psalm wey Asaph write.
Our Papa call court and e testify against im own people. Im complaint no be say sacrifice no reach — every animal wey dey alive na im own — but worship from people wey dey recite im covenant while dem dey run with thief. E want thanks and road wey don change.
50 1Di Mighty One, our Papa, don talk; e call di whole earth come, from where sun dey rise reach where e dey set. 2From Zion, di place wey fine finish, our Papa dey shine im light comot. 3Our Papa dey come and e no go keep quiet; for im front, fire dey chop everytin, and all around am, big-big storm dey blow. 4E call di heaven wey dey up, and di earth, so dat e fit judge im people.
5“Gada my faithful people come meet me, dem wey make Covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6And di heaven dey announce im correct-and-holy way, because na our Papa imsef be di Judge. a a v6 Selah na word wey dem dey use for worship or for music, e fit mean say make dem stop small or play interlude; nobody sabi im exact meaning well-well.
7“Hear, my people, and I go talk; Israel, I go stand witness against you: na me be your Papa. 8I no dey vex you because of your sacrifice; your burnt offering dey my front all di time. 9I no go collect bull from your house, or goat from your pen. 10Because every animal for inside bush na my own, and di cattle wey dey for 1,000 hills. 11I sabi every bird wey dey di mountain, and everytin wey dey move for di field na my own. 12If hunger dey catch me, I no go tell you, because di whole world na my own, and everytin wey dey inside am. 13I dey chop di meat of bull abi I dey drink di blood of goat?’
14“Bring thank offering give me, and pay di vow wey you swear to di Most High. b b v14 ‘Thank offering’ na sacrifice wey person go bring imsef come temple as a way to worship with thanksgiving for di heart. 15And call me when wahala catch you; I go rescue you, and you go honour me.’
16“But to di wicked person, our Papa talk say: ‘Wetin give you right to dey recite my law, or to dey talk my Covenant with your mouth? 17You hate correction, and you dey throw my word comot for back. 18When you see thief, you dey join am, and you dey run with people wey dey do adultery. 19You dey use your mouth do bad tin, and your tongue dey weave lie. 20You dey siddon dey talk against your brother; you dey spoil di name of your own mama pikin. 21All dis tins na wetin you don do, and I keep quiet; you tink say I be exactly like you. But now I dey correct you, and I lay di charge for your eye front.’
22“Make you understand dis one now, una wey dey forget me, if not I go tear you comot, and nobody go dey to rescue you. 23Anybody wey bring thank offering dey honour me; and to di person wey dey follow di correct road, I go show am my salvation.”
