Psalms 132
1 A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:
Mɔzɔha. O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku David kple fukpekpe siwo katã me wòto la dzi.
2 how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],
Eka atam na Yehowa, eye wòɖe adzɔgbe na Yakob ƒe Ŋusẽtɔ la be,
3 I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;
“Nyemage ɖe aƒenye me, alo aɖamlɔ nye aba dzi o.
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,
Nyemana nye ŋkuwo nadɔ alɔ̃, alo nye aɖaba nadɔ akɔlɔ̃e o,
5 until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
va se ɖe esime mekpɔ teƒe na Yehowa kple nɔƒe na Yakob ƒe ŋusẽtɔ la.”
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.
Míesee le Efrata, eye míedo goe le Yaar gbegbe be,
7 Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.
“Mina míayi ɖe enɔƒe, mina míade ta agu ɖe eƒe afɔɖodzinu ŋgɔ.
8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thine holiness.
O! Yehowa, tso, ne nàva wò gbɔɖemeƒe, wò kple wò ŋusẽ ƒe nubablaɖaka la gbɔ.
9 Thy priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and thy saints shall exult.
Wò nunɔlawo nedo dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe awu, eye wò ame kɔkɔewo nedzi ha le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ta.”
10 For the sake of thy servant David turn not away the face of thine anointed.
Le David, wò dɔla ta la, mègagbe wò amesiamina la o.
11 The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of thy body will I set [a king] upon thy throne.
Yehowa ka atam na David; eka atam vavã si matu o la be, “Matsɔ wò ŋutɔ wò dzidzimevi aɖo fiae ɖe wò fiazikpui dzi.
12 If thy children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.
Nenema ke ne viwò ŋutsuwo lé nye nubabla kple nye se siwo mefia wo me ɖe asi la, ekema wo viwo anɔ wò fiazikpui dzi tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.”
13 For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],
Elabena Yehowa tia Zion, eye wòtiae be wòanye ye nɔƒe be,
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.
“Esia nye nye gbɔɖemeƒe tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, afi siae manɔ fiazikpui dzi le gli, elabena nye ŋutɔe tiae.”
15 I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Matsɔ nu nyui geɖewo ayrae, eye matsɔ nuɖuɖu aɖi ƒoe na eƒe ame dahewo.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.
Mado xɔxɔ ƒe awu na eƒe nunɔlawo, eye eƒe ame kɔkɔewo adzi ha le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ta tegbetegbe.
17 There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.
“Le afi sia, mana dzo nado na David, eye masi akaɖi aɖo anyi na nye amesiamina la.
18 His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
Matsɔ ŋukpe ado na eƒe futɔwo, ke fiakuku si anɔ eƒe ta la, anɔ keklẽm.”
