< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise ye YHWH. Praise YHWH, O my soul.
Mikafu Yehowa. O! luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa.
2 While I live will I praise YHWH: I will sing praises unto my Elohim while I have any being.
Makafu Yehowa le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me. Madzi kafukafuha na nye Mawu la, zi ale si mele agbe.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Migaɖo dzi ɖe dziɖulawo ŋu o, eye migaka ɖe amegbetɔ kodzogbea, si mate ŋu axɔ na ame o la dzi o.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Ne woƒe gbɔgbɔ do go le wo me la, wogatrɔna zua kewɔ, gbe ma gbe ke woƒe ɖoɖo siwo katã wowɔ la zua tofloko.
5 Joyful is he that hath the El of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH his Elohim:
Woayra ame si ƒe xɔnametɔ nye Yakob ƒe Mawu la, eye eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la me.
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
Eya ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba, atsiaƒu kple nu siwo katã le eme, Yehowa nye nuteƒewɔla tegbetegbe.
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. YHWH looseth the prisoners:
Etsoa afia na ame siwo wote ɖe anyi, eye wònaa nuɖuɖu dɔwuitɔwo. Yehowae naa ablɔɖe gamenɔlawo.
8 YHWH openeth the eyes of the blind: YHWH raiseth them that are bowed down: YHWH loveth the righteous:
Yehowa ʋua ŋku na ŋkuagbãtɔwo, Yehowa fɔa ame siwo wote ɖe anyi la ɖe dzi, Yehowa lɔ̃a ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe nya.
9 YHWH preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
Yehowa kpɔa amedzrowo ta, eye wònye tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo hã ta kpɔla. Ke etɔtɔa ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe mɔwo.
10 YHWH shall reign for ever, even thy Elohim, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye YHWH.
Yehowa le fia ɖum tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me. O! Zion, wò Mawu la aɖu fia le dzidzimewo katã me. Mikafu Yehowa.
