Psalms 22
1 For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David. O God, my God, attend to me: why have you forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.
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 will cry to you by day, but you will not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me.
O! Nye Mawu, medo ɣli na wò le ŋkeke kple zã me; megale edzi ko, gake mètɔ nam o.
3 But you, the praise of Israel, dwell in a sanctuary.
Ke wò la, èle kɔkɔe, eye Israel ƒe kafukafuhawo zu fiazikpui nènɔ anyi ɖe edzi gli.
4 Our fathers hoped in you; they hoped, and you did deliver them.
Mewòe mía fofowo tsɔ woƒe xɔse dee, woka ɖe dziwò, eye nèɖe wo.
5 They cried to you, and were saved: they hoped in you, and were not ashamed.
Wodo ɣli na wò, eye nèɖe wo, dziwòe woka ɖo, eye ŋu mekpe wo o.
6 But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.
Ke nye la, ŋɔ menye, menye amegbetɔ o, elabena amewo ɖu fewu le ŋunye, eye wodo vlom.
7 All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],
Ame siwo katã kpɔm la ɖe alɔme le ŋunye; woflɔa dzu ɖe dzinye, eye woʋuʋua ta ɖe ŋunye gblɔna be:
8 He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.
“Eka ɖe Yehowa dzi, Yehowa neɖee míakpɔ. Yehowa neɖee, elabena eƒe nu nyo eŋu.”
9 For you are he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from 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 on you from the womb: you are my God from my mother's belly.
Wòe nye nye Mawu tso danye ƒe dɔ me ke, eye tso ɖevime wotsɔm de asi na wò.
11 Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper.
Mèganɔ adzɔge tso gbɔnye o, elabena xaxa tum, eye ame aɖeke meli axɔ nam o.
12 Many bullocks have compassed me: fat bulls have beset me round.
Nyitsu geɖewo ɖe to ɖem; Basan nyitsu sesẽwo ƒo xlãm.
13 They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and 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 loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.
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 is glued to my throat; and you have brought me down to 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 many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: 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 They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.
Mate ŋu axlẽ nye ƒuwo, amewo fɔ ŋku ɖe dzinye, eye wokpɔ dzidzɔ le nye anyidzedze ŋuti.
18 They parted my garments [amongst] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.
Woma nye awuwo na wo nɔewo, eye woda akɔ ɖe nye awu ʋlaya dzi.
19 But you, O Lord, remove not my help afar off: be ready for mine aid.
Ke wò, O! Yehowa, mèganɔ adzɔge o; O! Nye ŋusẽ, va kaba nàɖem.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one 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; and [regard] my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.
Ɖem le dzatawo ƒe nu me, eye nàɖem le towo ƒe dzowo nu.
22 I will declare your name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I sing praise to you.
Maɖe gbeƒã wò ŋkɔ na nɔvinyewo, eye le amehawo dome, makafu wò.
23 You that fear the Lord, praise him; all you seed of Jacob, glorify him: let all the seed of Israel fear him.
Mi ame siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa, mikafui! Mi, Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo, mide bubu eŋuti! Misroe ɖa, mi Israel ƒe dzidzimeviwo!
24 For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor; nor turned away his face from me; but when I cried to him, he heard me.
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 My praise is of you in the great congregation: 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 poor shall eat and be satisfied; and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their heart shall 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 to the Lord: and all the kindred of the nations shall worship before him.
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 the Lord's; and he is the governor of the nations.
Elabena fiaɖuɖu la nye Yehowa tɔ, eye wòɖu fia ɖe dukɔwo dzi.
29 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshipped: all that go down to the earth shall fall down before him: my soul also lives to him.
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 And my seed shall serve him: the generation that is coming shall be reported to the Lord.
Dzidzimewo asubɔe, eye dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ la, woagblɔ nya na wo tso Aƒetɔ la ŋuti.
31 And they shall report his righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.
Woaɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye na ame siwo meva dzɔ haɖe o, elabena eyae wɔe.
