Psalms 31
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. In thee, O Lord, haue I put my trust: let mee neuer be confounded: deliuer me in thy righteousnesse.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, mewòe mebe ɖo; mègana ŋu nakpem akpɔ gbeɖe o; ɖem le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye la ta.
2 Bowe downe thine eare to me: make haste to deliuer mee: be vnto me a stronge rocke, and an house of defence to saue me.
Ƒu to anyi ɖe ŋunye, va kaba nàɖem, nànye nye xɔxɔ ƒe agakpe kple mɔ sesẽ ne nàɖem.
3 For thou art my rocke and my fortresse: therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.
Le wò ŋkɔ la ta, kplɔm, eye nàfia mɔm, elabena wòe nye nye agakpe kple mɔ sesẽ.
4 Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for mee: for thou art my strength.
Ɖem le mɔ si woɖo ɖi nam la me, elabena wòe nye nye mɔ sesẽ.
5 Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.
Asiwò me metsɔ nye gbɔgbɔ de, eya ta Yehowa, nyateƒe ƒe Mawu, va nàɖem.
6 I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull vanities: for I trust in the Lord.
Metsri ame siwo ku ɖe legba maɖinuwo ŋu; ke nye la meku ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
7 I wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast seene my trouble: thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,
Makpɔ dzidzɔ, eye matso aseye le wò lɔlɔ̃ la me, elabena èkpɔ nye hiã henya nye luʋɔ ƒe nuxaxa.
8 And thou hast not shut me vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.
Mètsɔm de asi na nye futɔ o, ke boŋ èɖo nye afɔ gbadzaƒe.
9 Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soule and my bellie are consumed with griefe.
O! Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui nam, elabena nye dzi ʋu dzo, nuxaxa na nye ŋkuwo dzi wɔ dɔ̃ɔ, eye konyifafa na nye luʋɔ kple ŋutilã gbɔdzɔ.
10 For my life is wasted with heauinesse, and my yeeres with mourning: my strength faileth for my paine, and my bones are consumed.
Vevesese sɔŋ yɔ nye agbe me, eye ŋeŋe xɔ nye agbenɔƒewo me. Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye le nye fukpekpewo ta, eye nye ƒuwo hã nyunyɔ ɖe lãme nam.
11 I was a reproch among all mine enemies, but specially among my neighbours: and a feare to mine acquaintance, who seeing me in the streete, fled from me.
Le nye futɔwo ƒe nuwɔnawo ta mezu alɔmeɖenu na nye aƒelikawo vevie ŋutɔ. Mezu ŋɔdzinu na xɔ̃nyewo, eye ame siwo do gom le mɔtata dzi la sina le nunye.
12 I am forgotten, as a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell.
Woŋlɔm be abe ɖe meku xoxo ene, ale mezu ze gbagbã.
13 For I haue heard the rayling of great men: feare was on euery side, while they conspired together against mee, and consulted to take my life.
Mese ame geɖewo ƒe ameŋugblẽnyawo; ŋɔdzi ɖe to ɖem, wode adaŋu tso ŋunye, eye woɖo nugbe be yewoaɖe nye agbe ɖa.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
Ke wò, Yehowa, dzie meka ɖo; megblɔ be, “Wòe nye nye Mawu.”
15 My times are in thine hande: deliuer mee from the hande of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Nye ɣeyiɣiwo le asiwò me; ɖem tso nye futɔwo kple ame siwo le yonyeme tim la ƒe asi me.
16 Make thy face to shine vpon thy seruant, and saue me through thy mercie.
Na wò mo naklẽ ɖe wò dɔla dzi, ɖem le wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ta.
17 Let me not be confounded, O Lord: for I haue called vpon thee: let the wicked bee put to confusion, and to silence in the graue. (Sheol h7585)
O! Yehowa, mègana ŋu nakpem o, elabena wòe medo ɣli na; ke na ŋu nakpe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, eye ɖoɖoe nazi le wo nu le yɔme. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be made dumme, which cruelly, proudly and spitefully speake against the righteous.
De ga nu na woƒe alakpanuyiwo, elabena wotsɔa dada kple ɖekematsɔleme gblɔa nya vlo ɖe ame dzɔdzɔe ŋu.
19 Howe great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layde vp for them, that feare thee! and done to them, that trust in thee, euen before the sonnes of men!
Wò nu nyui siwo nèdzra ɖo ɖi na ame siwo vɔ̃a wò la lolo ŋutɔ. Nu nyui siwo nèkɔ ɖe ame siwo si wò tso dzi le amewo ƒe ŋkume la lolo.
20 Thou doest hide them priuily in thy presence from the pride of men: thou keepest them secretly in thy Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
Èɣla wo ɖe ɣaɣlaƒe si le gbɔwò, tso amewo ƒe ayemenuwo gbɔ. Èɣla wo ɖe nɔwòƒe be woanɔ dedie tso aɖeɖiƒoame gbɔ.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for hee hath shewed his marueilous kindenesse toward me in a strong citie.
Woakafu Yehowa, elabena eɖe eƒe nukulɔlɔ̃ la fiam le esime mele du si ŋu woƒu kpo ɖo la me.
22 Though I said in mine haste, I am cast out of thy sight, yet thou heardest the voyce of my prayer, when I cryed vnto thee.
Megblɔ le nye dzikatsoƒo me be: “Woɖem ɖa le wò ŋkume azɔ!” Ke hã la, èse nye nublanuiɣlidodo esi meyɔ wò be nàxɔ nam.
23 Loue ye the Lord all his Saintes: for the Lord preserueth the faithfull, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer.
Milɔ̃ Yehowa, mi eƒe ame kɔkɔewo! Yehowa kpɔa nuteƒewɔlawo ta, ke eɖoa eteƒe na dadalawo wòsɔa gbɔ dea woƒe nuwɔnawo nu.
24 All ye that trust in the Lord, be strong, and he shall establish your heart.
Misẽ ŋu, eye milé dzi ɖe ƒo, mi ame siwo katã tsɔ miaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ de Yehowa me.
