Psalms 116
1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy.
Melɔ̃ Yehowa, elabena ese nye gbe; ese nye avifafa be wonekpɔ nublanui nam.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.
Esi wòtrɔ to ɖe gbɔnye ta la, mayɔe zi ale si mele agbe.
3 The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Ku ƒe kawo blam, eye tsiẽƒe ƒe vevesese va dzinye. Hiã tum, eye nuxaxa va dzinye. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”
Tete meyɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ be, “O! Yehowa, ɖem!”
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
Yehowa nye amenuvetɔ kple dzɔdzɔetɔ; míaƒe Mawu la yɔ fũu kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ.
6 The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.
Yehowa kpɔa ame siwo fa tu le dzi me la ta; esi menɔ hiahiã gã aɖe me la, eɖem le eme.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
O! Luʋɔnye, gagbɔ ɖe eme, elabena Yehowa nyo dɔ me na wò.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
O! Yehowa, wòe ɖe nye luʋɔ tso ku me, nye ŋkuwo tso aɖatsi si me, nye afɔwo tso anyidzedze me;
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
be mate ŋu azɔ le Yehowa ŋkume le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
Mexɔe se, eya ta megblɔ be, “Wokaa hiãm ŋutɔ.”
11 In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
Eye le nye moya me, megblɔ be, “Amegbetɔwo katã nye aʋatsokalawo.”
12 How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?
Aleke mawɔ aɖo dɔmenyo siwo katã Yehowa wɔ nam la teƒe nɛ?
13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
Makɔ xɔxɔ ƒe kplu la ɖe dzi, eye mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.
Maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na Yehowa le eƒe dukɔ blibo la ŋkume.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
Eƒe ame kɔkɔewo ƒe ku nye nu xɔasi le Yehowa ŋkume.
16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.
O! Yehowa, menye wò dɔla vavã, wò dɔlae menye, wò subɔla ƒe viŋutsue menye, eye nèɖem tso nye gakɔsɔkɔsɔ siwo blam la me.
17 I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
Masa akpedavɔ na wò, eye mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,
Maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na Yehowa, le eƒe dukɔ blibo la ŋkume,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
le Yehowa ƒe aƒe ƒe xɔxɔnuwo, le mia dome, o Yerusalem. Mikafu Yehowa.
