Psalms 22
1 For the Chief Musician; set to Aijeleth hash-Shahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [Why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my groaning?
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la, ne woadzi ɖe “Zinɔ le ŋdi kanyaa” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Nye Mawu, nye Mawu, nu ka ŋuti nègblẽm ɖi? Nu ka ta nèle adzɔge ʋĩi na xɔxɔ nam, eye nète ɖa xaa tso nye hũɖeɖe gbɔ?
2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not; And in the night season, and am not silent.
O! Nye Mawu, medo ɣli na wò le ŋkeke kple zã me; megale edzi ko, gake mètɔ nam o.
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Ke wò la, èle kɔkɔe, eye Israel ƒe kafukafuhawo zu fiazikpui nènɔ anyi ɖe edzi gli.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
Mewòe mía fofowo tsɔ woƒe xɔse dee, woka ɖe dziwò, eye nèɖe wo.
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
Wodo ɣli na wò, eye nèɖe wo, dziwòe woka ɖo, eye ŋu mekpe wo o.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Ke nye la, ŋɔ menye, menye amegbetɔ o, elabena amewo ɖu fewu le ŋunye, eye wodo vlom.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],
Ame siwo katã kpɔm la ɖe alɔme le ŋunye; woflɔa dzu ɖe dzinye, eye woʋuʋua ta ɖe ŋunye gblɔna be:
8 Commit [thyself] unto Jehovah; let him deliver him: Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.
“Eka ɖe Yehowa dzi, Yehowa neɖee míakpɔ. Yehowa neɖee, elabena eƒe nu nyo eŋu.”
9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust [when I was] upon my mother’s breasts.
Ke wòe hem tso vidzidɔ me, eye le danye ƒe no nu ke, èna meka ɖe dziwò.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
Wòe nye nye Mawu tso danye ƒe dɔ me ke, eye tso ɖevime wotsɔm de asi na wò.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; For there is none to help.
Mèganɔ adzɔge tso gbɔnye o, elabena xaxa tum, eye ame aɖeke meli axɔ nam o.
12 Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
Nyitsu geɖewo ɖe to ɖem; Basan nyitsu sesẽwo ƒo xlãm.
13 They gape upon me with their mouth, [As] a ravening and a roaring lion.
Woke woƒe nuwo ɖe ŋunye baa abe dzata si le gbe tem hele nu si wòlé la vuvum ene.
14 I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.
Woƒom ɖe anyi abe tsi ene, eye nye ƒuwo katã gli le woƒe kpeƒewo. Nye dzi lolõ ɖe dɔ me nam gbanaa hesi to menye.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye abe ze gbagbã ene, eye nye aɖe lé ɖe nye nu me, elabena ètsɔm mlɔ ku ƒe ʋuʋudedi me.
16 For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
Avuwo ƒo xlãm, ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe ha ɖe to ɖem, eye wotsɔ nu ŋɔ nye asiwo kple afɔwo.
17 I may count all my bones. They look and stare upon me;
Mate ŋu axlẽ nye ƒuwo, amewo fɔ ŋku ɖe dzinye, eye wokpɔ dzidzɔ le nye anyidzedze ŋuti.
18 They part my garments among them, And upon my vesture do they cast lots.
Woma nye awuwo na wo nɔewo, eye woda akɔ ɖe nye awu ʋlaya dzi.
19 But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.
Ke wò, O! Yehowa, mèganɔ adzɔge o; O! Nye ŋusẽ, va kaba nàɖem.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, My darling from the power of the dog.
Ɖe nye agbe tso yi ƒe asi me, eye ɖe nye agbe xɔasi la tso avuwo ƒe ŋusẽ me.
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth; Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.
Ɖem le dzatawo ƒe nu me, eye nàɖem le towo ƒe dzowo nu.
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.
Maɖe gbeƒã wò ŋkɔ na nɔvinyewo, eye le amehawo dome, makafu wò.
23 Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Mi ame siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa, mikafui! Mi, Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo, mide bubu eŋuti! Misroe ɖa, mi Israel ƒe dzidzimeviwo!
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Neither hath he hid his face from him; But when he cried unto him, he heard.
Elabena menyɔ ŋu alo do vlo ame siwo le fu kpem la ƒe hiãtuame o; meɣla eƒe mo ɖee o, ke boŋ eɖo to eƒe ɣlidodo na kpekpeɖeŋu.
25 Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
Gbɔwòe nye kafukafuha si medzina le ameha gãwo dome la ƒe tanya tsona. Maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo le ame siwo vɔ̃a wò la ŋkume.
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied; They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him: Let your heart live for ever.
Hiãtɔwo aɖu nu aɖi ƒo; ame siwo dia Yehowa la akafui. Miaƒe dziwo nenɔ agbe tegbee!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah; And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
Anyigba ƒe mlɔenu katã hã aɖo ŋku edzi, atrɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye anyigbadzidukɔwo ƒe ƒomeawo katã ava de ta agu ɖe eŋkume.
28 For the kingdom is Jehovah’s; And he is the ruler over the nations.
Elabena fiaɖuɖu la nye Yehowa tɔ, eye wòɖu fia ɖe dukɔwo dzi.
29 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship: All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
Kesinɔtɔ siwo katã le anyigba dzi la aɖu nu, eye woasubɔe; ame siwo katã mate ŋu anɔ agbe o, eye woyi ɖe ke ƒe tume la adze klo ɖe eŋkume.
30 A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the [next] generation.
Dzidzimewo asubɔe, eye dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ la, woagblɔ nya na wo tso Aƒetɔ la ŋuti.
31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it.
Woaɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye na ame siwo meva dzɔ haɖe o, elabena eyae wɔe.
