Psalms 5
1 For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii kple kpẽ. O! Yehowa, ɖo to nye nyawo, eye nàse nye hũɖeɖe.
2 Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.
Fianye kple Mawunye, ɖo to nye ɣlidodo, elabena wòe mele gbe dom ɖa na.
3 In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.
O! Yehowa, le ŋdi me la, àse nye gbe; le ŋdi me la, matsɔ nye biabiawo aɖo ŋkuwò me, eye manɔ lalam kple mɔkpɔkpɔ.
4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.
Menye Mawu si kpɔa dzidzɔ le vɔ̃ ŋutie nènye o; wò la, ame vɔ̃ɖiwo mate ŋu anɔ gbɔwò o.
5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.
Ɖokuiŋudzelawo mate ŋu atsi tsitre ɖe ŋkuwò me o; elabena èlé fu nu vlo wɔlawo katã.
6 You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
Ètsrɔ̃ aʋatsokalawo; Yehowa tsri hlɔ̃dolawo kple ameblelawo.
7 But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.
Ke nye ya, mava wò aƒe me to wò nublanuikpɔkpɔ gã la me. Matsɔ bubu ade ta agu ɖe wò gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la ŋgɔ.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.
Kplɔm, O! Yehowa, le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye nu le nye futɔwo ta, eye wɔ wò mɔwo dzɔdzɔe le ŋkunye me.
9 For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.
Womate ŋu axɔ nya siwo doa go tso woƒe nu me la ɖeka pɛ hã dzi ase o, woƒe dzi yɔ fũu kple gbegblẽ. Woƒe ve me le abe yɔdo si le ʋuʋu ɖi la ene, eye wotsɔa woƒe aɖe gblɔa alakpanyawoe.
10 Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
O! Mawu, bu fɔ wo! Na be woƒe ayemɔwo naƒu wo anyi. Ɖe wo ɖa le woƒe nu vɔ̃ gbogboawo ta, elabena wodze aglã ɖe ŋuwò.
11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
Ke na ame siwo si wò tso la nakpɔ dzidzɔ, eye na be woadzi ha kple dzidzɔ tegbee. Keke wò ametakpɔkpɔ ɖe wo dzi, ale be ame siwo lɔ̃ wò ŋkɔ la natso aseye le mewò.
12 For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
O! Yehowa, èyraa ame dzɔdzɔewo vavã, eye nètsɔa wò amenuveve ƒoa xlã wo abe akpoxɔnu ene.
