Psalms 59
1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
David ƒe nufiameha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “Mègagblẽ nu o” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Ekpa ha sia esi Saul dɔ amewo be woadzɔ eƒe aƒe ŋu, eye ne edo go la, woawui. O! Mawu, ɖem tso nye futɔwo ƒe asi me; kpɔ tanye le ame siwo tso ɖe ŋutinye la ta.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
Ɖem tso nu vlo wɔlawo ƒe asi me eye nàxɔm tso hlɔ̃dolawo ƒe asi me.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.
Kpɔ ale si wode xa ɖi nam lae ɖa! Ame nyanyrawo ɖo nugbe ɖe ŋunye, evɔ la, O Yehowa, nyemedze agɔ, alo wɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke o.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold.
Nyemeda vo aɖeke o, evɔ wole klalo be woadze dzinye. Tso, nàxɔ nam; kpɔ xaxa si me mele la ɖa!
5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
O! Yehowa, Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu, nyɔ nàhe to na dukɔwo, mègakpɔ nublanui na ametatrɔla vɔ̃ɖi siawo o. (Sela)
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Wotrɔ gbɔ le fiẽ me le gbe tem abe avuwo ene, eye wole tsaglãla tsam le dua me.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?
Kpɔ nu si wotu tso woƒe nu me la ɖa, wotu nyawo tso woƒe nuyiwo me le gbɔgblɔm be, “Ame ka ate ŋu aɖo to mí?”
8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
O! Yehowa, wò koe le wo kom, èɖe alɔme le dukɔ mawo katã ŋu.
9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defence.
O! Nye ŋusẽ, mele nuwò kpɔm. O! Mawu, wòe nye nye mɔ sesẽ,
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
nye Mawu lɔlɔ̃tɔ. Mawu adze ŋgɔ nam, eye ana makpɔ dziɖuɖu ƒe dzidzɔ ɖe nye ketɔwo dzi.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Gake mègawu wo o, O! Aƒetɔ, míaƒe akpoxɔnu, ne menye nenema o la, nye amewo aŋlɔ be. Le wò ŋusẽ me, na woatsa tsaglãla, eye nàhe wo aƒu anyi.
12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which] they speak.
Nya sia nya si doa le wo nu la nye nu vɔ̃, woƒe dada nazu abe mɔ ene aɖe wo, Le fiƒodenya kple alakpanya siwo wogblɔ ta la,
13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be: ] and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
fia wo kple dziku, fia wo va se ɖe esime womaganɔ anyi o. Ekema woanya va se ɖe anyigba la ƒe mlɔenu ke, be Mawue nye fia ɖe Yakob dzi. (Sela)
14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Wotrɔ gbɔ le fiẽ me, le gbe tem abe avuwo ene, eye wole tsaglãla tsam le dua me.
15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
Wole tsatsam le nuɖuɖu dim, eye ne womeɖi ƒo o la, wonɔa wòwóm.
16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Ke nye la, madzi wò ŋusẽ ƒe ha, eye le ŋdi me la, madzi ha le wò lɔlɔ̃ ŋuti, elabena wòe nye nye mɔ sesẽ, kple nye sitsoƒe le xaxaɣiwo.
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy.
O! Nye ŋusẽ, mele kafukafuha dzim na wò. O! Mawu, wòe nye nye mɔ sesẽ kple nye Mawu si dzi meka ɖo.
