Psalms 19
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Dziƒo ɖe Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe go, eye dziŋgɔli le gbeƒã ɖem eƒe asinudɔwo.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Tso ŋkeke yi ŋkeke, wole Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kafum, eye tso zã yi zã, wole eƒe gãnyenye ɖem fia.
3 There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.
Nuƒoƒo alo gbegbɔgblɔ aɖeke meli si me womese woƒe gbe le o.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,
Woƒe gbe ɖina le anyigba dzi afi sia afi, eye woƒe nyawo dea xexea me ƒe mlɔenu ke gɔ̃ hã. Etu agbadɔ ɖe dziƒowo na ɣe,
5 And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.
eye wòle abe ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃e le go dom tso eƒe agbadɔ me ene. Ele abe duƒula si le dzidzɔ kpɔm be wòalé eƒe mɔ atsɔ ene.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Ɣe dzena tso dziƒo ƒe go ɖeka dzi, eye wòzɔna yia go kemɛ dzi, naneke meɣla ɖe eƒe dzoxɔxɔ o.
7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;
Yehowa ƒe se la de blibo, enaa agbegbɔgbɔ luʋɔ! Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo le eteƒe, eye wonana bometsilawo dzea nunya.
8 The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;
Yehowa ƒe mɔwo dzɔ, wonana dzi kpɔa dzidzɔ. Yehowa ƒe sewo me kɔ, wonana ame dzea nunya.
9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:
Yehowa ƒe sewo me kɔ; wonɔa anyi ɖaa. Yehowa ƒe sewo li ke sesĩe, eye ɖikeke aɖeke mele woƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye ŋu o.
10 They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
Woxɔ asi wu sika kple sika nyuitɔ; wovivina wu anyitsi kple anyitsi si woɖe le anyito me.
11 Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.
Wò sewo wotsɔ xlɔ̃ nu wò dɔlae, elabena viɖe gã geɖe le wo dzi wɔwɔ me.
12 Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].
Ame kae ate ŋu ade dzesi nu gbegblẽ si wòwɔ? Tsɔ nye vodada siwo metsɔ ɣla la kem.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.
Ɖe wò dɔla tso lɔlɔ̃nuwɔwɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃wo hã me; womaɖu dzinye akpɔ o. Ekema mazu fɔɖiɖi manɔŋutɔ, eye ŋutinye akɔ tso vodada gã me.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
Na be nye numenyawo kple nye dzi ƒe ŋugbledede nadze ŋuwò, O! Yehowa, nye Agakpe kple nye Xɔnametɔ.
