Psalms 19
1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” The heavens relate the glory of God; and the expanse telleth of the works of his hands.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Dziƒo ɖe Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe go, eye dziŋgɔli le gbeƒã ɖem eƒe asinudɔwo.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
Tso ŋkeke yi ŋkeke, wole Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kafum, eye tso zã yi zã, wole eƒe gãnyenye ɖem fia.
3 There is no speech, there are no words, their voice is not heard.
Nuƒoƒo alo gbegbɔgblɔ aɖeke meli si me womese woƒe gbe le o.
4 [But] their melody extendeth through all the earth, and to the end of the world their words. For the sun hath he set a tabernacle among them;
Woƒe gbe ɖina le anyigba dzi afi sia afi, eye woƒe nyawo dea xexea me ƒe mlɔenu ke gɔ̃ hã. Etu agbadɔ ɖe dziƒowo na ɣe,
5 And he goeth out as a bridegroom from his chamber, he is glad like a strong man to run his course;
eye wòle abe ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃e le go dom tso eƒe agbadɔ me ene. Ele abe duƒula si le dzidzɔ kpɔm be wòalé eƒe mɔ atsɔ ene.
6 From the end of the heavens is his going forth, and his circuit is unto their ends: and there is nothing hidden from his heat.
Ɣe dzena tso dziƒo ƒe go ɖeka dzi, eye wòzɔna yia go kemɛ dzi, naneke meɣla ɖe eƒe dzoxɔxɔ o.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, quieting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
Yehowa ƒe se la de blibo, enaa agbegbɔgbɔ luʋɔ! Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo le eteƒe, eye wonana bometsilawo dzea nunya.
8 The precepts of the Lord are upright, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes.
Yehowa ƒe mɔwo dzɔ, wonana dzi kpɔa dzidzɔ. Yehowa ƒe sewo me kɔ, wonana ame dzea nunya.
9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever: the ordinances of the Lord are the truth, they are just altogether.
Yehowa ƒe sewo me kɔ; wonɔa anyi ɖaa. Yehowa ƒe sewo li ke sesĩe, eye ɖikeke aɖeke mele woƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye ŋu o.
10 They are those which are to be desired more than gold, and much fine gold; and they are sweeter than honey and the dropping of honeycomb.
Woxɔ asi wu sika kple sika nyuitɔ; wovivina wu anyitsi kple anyitsi si woɖe le anyito me.
11 Moreover thy servant is admonished by them: in keeping them there is great reward.
Wò sewo wotsɔ xlɔ̃ nu wò dɔlae, elabena viɖe gã geɖe le wo dzi wɔwɔ me.
12 Who can guard against errors? from secret [faults] do thou cleanse me.
Ame kae ate ŋu ade dzesi nu gbegblẽ si wòwɔ? Tsɔ nye vodada siwo metsɔ ɣla la kem.
13 Also from presumptuous [sins] withhold thy servant; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from any great transgression.
Ɖe wò dɔla tso lɔlɔ̃nuwɔwɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃wo hã me; womaɖu dzinye akpɔ o. Ekema mazu fɔɖiɖi manɔŋutɔ, eye ŋutinye akɔ tso vodada gã me.
14 May the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable before thee, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
Na be nye numenyawo kple nye dzi ƒe ŋugbledede nadze ŋuwò, O! Yehowa, nye Agakpe kple nye Xɔnametɔ.
