Psalms 52
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid to giue instruction. When Doeg the Edomite came and shewed Saul, and saide to him, Dauid is come to the house of Abimelech. Why boastest thou thy selfe in thy wickednesse, O man of power? the louing kindenesse of God indureth dayly.
David ƒe nufiameha na hɛnɔ la. Ekpa ha sia esi Edomtɔ, Doeg yi ɖagblɔ na Saul be, “David yi ɖe Ahimelek ƒe aƒe me.” Nu ka ta nètsɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi le adegbe ƒom, wò kalẽtɔ? Nu ka wɔ nèle adegbe ƒom ŋkeke blibo la, wò ame si nye ŋunyɔnu le Mawu ƒe ŋkume?
2 Thy tongue imagineth mischiefe, and is like a sharpe rasor, that cutteth deceitfully.
Wò aɖe le gbegblẽ ɖom; èle abe hɛ ɖaɖɛ ene, wò alakpatɔ.
3 Thou doest loue euill more then good, and lies more then to speake the trueth. (Selah)
Èlɔ̃ vɔ̃ wu nyui, èlɔ̃ alakpa wu nyateƒetoto. (Sela)
4 Thou louest all wordes that may destroye, O deceitfull tongue!
O! Wò alakpaɖe, èlɔ̃ nya gbegblẽwo sɔŋ ko!
5 So shall God destroy thee for euer: he shall take thee and plucke thee out of thy tabernacle, and roote thee out of ye land of the liuing. (Selah)
Vavã, Mawu hã aƒu wò anyi ɖe gbegblẽ mavɔ me. Mawu ahe wò ado goe tso wò agbadɔ me, aho wò kple ke tso agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi. (Sela)
6 The righteous also shall see it, and feare, and shall laugh at him, saying,
Ame dzɔdzɔewo akpɔe, eye woavɔ̃; woakoe ahagblɔ be,
7 Beholde the man that tooke not God for his strength, but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and put his strength in his malice.
“Kpɔ ɖa, ŋutsu si metsɔ Mawu wɔ eƒe mɔ sesẽ o, ke boŋ wòtsɔ eƒe dzi ɖo eƒe kesinɔnu gbogboawo ŋu, eye wòkpɔ ŋusẽ hegblẽ ame bubuwo dome lae nye esi!”
8 But I shall bee like a greene oliue tree in the house of God: for I trusted in the mercie of God for euer and euer.
Ke nye la, mele abe amiti si le tsetsem le Mawu ƒe aƒe me la ene. Meɖo dzi ɖe Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ŋu tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
9 I will alway praise thee, for that thou hast done this, and I will hope in thy Name, because it is good before thy Saints.
Makafu wò tegbee le nu si nèwɔ la ta; matsɔ nye mɔkpɔkpɔ ade wò ŋkɔ me, elabena wò ŋkɔ nyo. Makafu wò le wò ame kɔkɔewo ŋkume.
