Psalms 116
1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.
Melɔ̃ Yehowa, elabena ese nye gbe; ese nye avifafa be wonekpɔ nublanui nam.
2 For he hath inclined his eare vnto me, whe I did call vpon him in my dayes.
Esi wòtrɔ to ɖe gbɔnye ta la, mayɔe zi ale si mele agbe.
3 When the snares of death copassed me, and the griefes of the graue caught me: when I founde trouble and sorowe. (Sheol h7585)
Ku ƒe kawo blam, eye tsiẽƒe ƒe vevesese va dzinye. Hiã tum, eye nuxaxa va dzinye. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called vpon the Name of the Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, deliuer my soule.
Tete meyɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ be, “O! Yehowa, ɖem!”
5 The Lord is mercifull and righteous, and our God is full of compassion.
Yehowa nye amenuvetɔ kple dzɔdzɔetɔ; míaƒe Mawu la yɔ fũu kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ.
6 The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in miserie and he saued me.
Yehowa kpɔa ame siwo fa tu le dzi me la ta; esi menɔ hiahiã gã aɖe me la, eɖem le eme.
7 Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee,
O! Luʋɔnye, gagbɔ ɖe eme, elabena Yehowa nyo dɔ me na wò.
8 Because thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.
O! Yehowa, wòe ɖe nye luʋɔ tso ku me, nye ŋkuwo tso aɖatsi si me, nye afɔwo tso anyidzedze me;
9 I shall walke before the Lord in the lande of the liuing.
be mate ŋu azɔ le Yehowa ŋkume le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
10 I beleeued, therefore did I speake: for I was sore troubled.
Mexɔe se, eya ta megblɔ be, “Wokaa hiãm ŋutɔ.”
11 I said in my feare, All men are lyers.
Eye le nye moya me, megblɔ be, “Amegbetɔwo katã nye aʋatsokalawo.”
12 What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites toward me?
Aleke mawɔ aɖo dɔmenyo siwo katã Yehowa wɔ nam la teƒe nɛ?
13 I will take the cup of saluation, and call vpon the Name of the Lord.
Makɔ xɔxɔ ƒe kplu la ɖe dzi, eye mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ.
14 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe 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 Saintes.
Eƒe ame kɔkɔewo ƒe ku nye nu xɔasi le Yehowa ŋkume.
16 Beholde, Lord: for I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaide: thou hast broken my bondes.
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 thee a sacrifice of prayse, and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.
Masa akpedavɔ na wò, eye mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ.
18 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people,
Maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na Yehowa, le eƒe dukɔ blibo la ŋkume,
19 In the courtes of ye Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
le Yehowa ƒe aƒe ƒe xɔxɔnuwo, le mia dome, o Yerusalem. Mikafu Yehowa.
