Psalms 139
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, You have searched me, and know.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, èdzro menye, eye nènyam.
2 You have known my sitting down, And my rising up, You have attended to my thoughts from afar.
Ènya nye anyinɔnɔ kple nye tsitretsitsi, eye nènya nye susuwo tso adzɔge ke.
3 You have fanned my path and my lying down, And have been acquainted [with] all my ways.
Ènya nye godoɣi kple nye anyimlɔɣi, ale nènya nye mɔwo katã nyuie.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, Behold, O YHWH, You have known it all!
O! Yehowa, hafi nya aɖe nava nye aɖe dzi la, ènya nya la katã xoxo.
5 You have besieged me behind and before, And You place Your hand on me.
Ètsɔm ɖe tome, le megbe kple ŋgɔ siaa, eye nèɖo wò asi dzinye.
6 Knowledge too wonderful for me, It has been set on high, I am not able for it.
Nunya sia wɔ nuku nam akpa, nyemate ŋu aɖo afi ma o, elabena ekɔkɔ nam akpa.
7 To where do I go from Your Spirit? And to where do I flee from Your face?
Afi ka madzo le wò Gbɔgbɔ la gbɔ ayi? Afi ka masi atso wò ŋkume ayi?
8 If I ascend the heavens—You [are] there, And spread out a bed in Sheol, behold, You! (Sheol h7585)
Ne meyi dziƒo la, èle afi ma, ne meɖo nye mlɔƒe ɖe gogloƒewo hã la, èle afi ma. (Sheol h7585)
9 I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
Ne medzo yi yame le fɔŋli ƒe aʋalawo dzi, ne meyi ɖanɔ atsiaƒu ƒe mlɔenu ke hã la,
10 Also there Your hand leads me, And Your right hand holds me.
wò asi akplɔm, eye wò nuɖusi além ɖe asi sesĩe.
11 And I say, “Surely darkness bruises me,” Then night [is] light to me.
Ne megblɔ be, “Vavã, viviti la ana maɣla, eye kekeli azu zã aƒo xlãm” la,
12 Also darkness does not hide from You, And night shines as day, As [is] darkness so [is] light.
viviti la gɔ̃ hã mado blukɔ na wò o, zã aklẽ na wò abe ŋkeke ene, elabena viviti le na wò abe kekeli ene.
13 For You have possessed my reins, You cover me in my mother’s belly.
Elabena wòe wɔ nye ememe ke; eye nèlém ƒo ƒu ɖe danye ƒe dɔ me.
14 I confess You, because I have been fearfully distinguished. Your works [are] wonderful, And my soul is knowing [it] well.
Mekafu wò, elabena èwɔm ŋɔdzitɔe kple nukutɔe. Wò dɔwɔwɔwo nye nukunu, menya esia nyuie.
15 My substance was not hid from You, When I was made in secret, Curiously worked in the lower part of earth.
Nye ameti blibo la, mele ɣaɣla ɖe wò o, esi nèwɔm le ɣaɣlaƒe. Esi wolɔ̃m ɖe wo nɔewo me le anyigba ƒe gogloƒe la,
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, And all of them are written on Your scroll, The days they were formed—And not one among them.
wò ŋkuwo kpɔ ale si menye ʋukɔe. Ŋkeke siwo katã woɖo nam la, woŋlɔ wo ɖe wò agbalẽ me hafi ŋkeke gbãtɔ dze egɔme.
17 And how precious Your thoughts have been to me, O God, how great has been their sum!
O! Mawu, wò susuwo xɔ asi nam ŋutɔ! Wò susuwo sɔ gbɔ loo!
18 I recount them! They are more than the sand, I have awoken, and I am still with You.
Ne mebe maxlẽ wo la, woasɔ gbɔ wu ke. Ne menyɔ tso alɔ̃ me la, megale gbɔwò ko.
19 Do You slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
O! Mawu, negbe ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo hafi! Mite ɖa le gbɔnye, mi hlɔ̃dolawo!
20 Who exchange You for wickedness, Your enemies [are] lifted up to vanity.
Woƒoa nu tso ŋutiwò kple susu baɖa, wò futɔwo wɔa wò ŋkɔ ŋu dɔ yakayaka.
21 Do I not hate, YHWH, those hating You? And grieve myself with Your withstanders?
O! Yehowa, ɖe nyemelé fu ame siwo lé fu wò, eye menyɔ ŋu ame siwo tso ɖe ŋuwò oa?
22 I have hated them [with] perfect hatred, They have become enemies to me.
Fuléle koe le asinye na wo, eye mebu wo nye ketɔwoe.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts,
Dzro menye, o Mawu, eye nànya nye dzi; dom kpɔ, eye nànya nye susu si tsi dzodzodzoe.
24 And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a perpetual way!
Kpɔe ɖa be mɔtatra aɖe le menye hã, eye nàkplɔm to mɔ mavɔtɔ la dzi.
