Brief Introduction
In Nigeria there are 3 major dominant regional languages, while English is the official language [1] .
- Hausa
- Igbo and
- Yoruba.
However these languages are a little different from each other in there alphabets, pronunciations and usages.
Recently I have written post in one of the sweetest and the language of intriguing Idiomatic expression, and also rich in value both home and abroad[2].
Yorùbá is a language that is commonly spoken in some countries like Togo, Benin, Cuba, Brazil [3].
Having said that, I love to listen to Nigeria artists, preachers, and motivators.
I listened to one of the interesting and great comedian and "prophet" in Nigeria. He PRAISED GOD in Yorùbá dialect and I was moved.
MOTIVE
The word was in Yorùbá language. I hereby translate the part in which he PRAISED GOD to English for all who love their God and do not understand Yoruba language.
Below is the video. The part of the video that I translated is from time 2.46 to 3.05.
| What he said (Yorùbá) | The English translations |
|---|---|
| Alágbádá iná | The One with clothed with the garment of fire |
| Áláwòtélè orùn | The One clothed with sun |
| Moni moni mooyàn mooyàn, ti ó moorí omo titun tó ún mo orí olóògbé | The One that knows every human being in and out, and molds the head of new and sleeping babies |
| Alagbálubú igbú | The one that controls the mighty oceans |
| Móroro sàroro àlàrorò tí ńse elénìní òkùnkùn | The sparkling bright light that turns against darkness and brings it to nothing |
| Òta girìgba omo rè là nìnù ewu | The One that rises with immediate effect to save His children from dangers |
Conclusion
Praising is something we all do, either to Human or Divine. Do you have some other translations to add, please fell free and educate us!
Cheers.

Steemit needs to add a voice option.
yes you should ask @ned or @sneak about how we could have a sort of Google Voice option or maybe we could do a guide on how you can ad a voice to text google chrome extension, or your smartphone may have a voice to text option in your keyboard,

”Gaga na ogwu. Anu ana agba egbe o na ata nri".
