Psalms 36
1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,
David, Yehowa ƒe dɔla, ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Yehowa ƒe gbedeasi aɖe le nye dzi me tso ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ŋuti. Mawuvɔvɔ̃ aɖeke mele woƒe ŋkuwo me o.
2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
Elabena le eya ŋutɔ ŋkume, wòvivi nu me na eɖokui ale gbegbe be mete ŋu kpɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ dze sii alo wòagbe nu le egbɔ o.
3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.
Eƒe numenyawo vɔ̃ɖi, henye beble sɔŋ, eye wòdzudzɔ nuwɔwɔ ɖe nunya me kple nu nyui wɔwɔ.
4 He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”
Eɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖi le eƒe aba dzi, etsɔa eɖokui dea asi na nu si nye vɔ̃, eye megbea nu si nye nu gbegblẽ o.
5 O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.
O! Yehowa, wò lɔlɔ̃ kɔ ɖatɔ dziƒowo ke, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ tɔ dziŋgɔli ke.
6 Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.
Wò dzɔdzɔenyenye le abe to gãwo ene, eye wò afiatsotso le abe tɔ goglo ene. O! Yehowa, èkpɔa amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ta.
7 How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.
Wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la xɔ asi loo! Ame siwo ŋuti bubu le kple ame siwo ŋuti mele o, le amegbetɔviwo dome siaa kpɔa sitsoƒe le wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te.
8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.
Wò aƒemenu gbogboawo nye nuɖuɖu na wo, eye nènaa tsi wo wonona tso wò dzidzɔtɔsisi la me.
9 For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.
Elabena gbɔwòe agbe ƒe tsitsetse la le, eye wò kekeli mee míekpɔa kekeli le.
10 Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
Yi edzi nàɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ afia ame siwo nya wò, eye nàɖe wò dzɔdzɔenyenye afia ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka.
11 Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.
Dadalawo megaɖo afɔ dzinye, alo ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi nanyam o.
12 Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
Kpɔ ale si nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo dze anyi ɖe anyigbae ɖa; wotutu wo ƒu anyi, eye womete ŋu fɔ o!
