Psalms 27
1 David’s. Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?
David ƒe ha. Yehowae nye nye kekeli kple nye ɖeɖe. Ame ka mavɔ̃? Yehowae nye mɔ sesẽ na nye agbe, ame ka adzi ŋɔ nam?
2 When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies—mine!—they, stumbled and fell!
Ne ame vɔ̃ɖiwo lũ ɖe dzinye be woavuvum, ne nye futɔwo kple nye ketɔwo lũ ɖe dzinye la, woakli nu adze anyi.
3 Though there pitch against me—a camp, my heart shall not fear, —Though there come up against me—a battle, still, am I confident.
Togbɔ be aʋakɔ gã aɖe ɖe to ɖem hã la, nye dzi mavɔ̃ o, togbɔ be wodze aʋa ɖe ŋunye hã la, azɔ koŋ dzi aɖo ƒonye.
4 One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, —That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.
Nu ɖeka mebia Yehowa, esiae nye be manɔ Yehowa ƒe aƒe me le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me, ne malé ŋku ɖe Yehowa ƒe nyonyo ŋu, eye madii le eƒe gbedoxɔ me.
5 For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity, —He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high.
Elabena le xaxaɣiwo la, atsyɔ nu dzinye le eƒe nɔƒe la me; aɣlam ɖe eƒe agbadɔ ƒe bebeƒe, eye wòakɔm aɖo agakpe kɔkɔ aɖe dzi.
6 Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.
Ekema nye ta akɔ dzi agbɔ nye futɔ siwo ƒo xlãm godoo la ta; matsɔ dzidzɔɣli asa vɔ nɛ le eƒe agbadɔ kɔkɔe la me. Madzi ha, eye maƒo saŋku na Yehowa.
7 Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.
O! Yehowa, se nye gbe, ne meyɔ wò; kpɔ nublanui nam, eye nàtɔ nam.
8 To thee, said my heart—[When thou saidst] Seek ye my face—Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!
Nye dzi le gbɔgblɔm le ŋuwò be, “Di eƒe ŋkume!” Yehowa, wò ŋkumee madi.
9 Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, —My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!
Mègaɣla wò ŋkume ɖem o, mègatrɔ wò dɔla ɖo ɖa le dɔmedzoe me o, elabena wòe nye nye xɔnametɔ. O! Mawu, nye Ɖela, mègagbe nu le gbɔnye alo agblem ɖi o.
10 When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up!
Togbɔ be tɔnye kple nɔnye gblem ɖi hã la, Yehowa axɔm.
11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, —And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.
O! Yehowa, fia wò mɔwom; kplɔm to mɔ dzɔdzɔe dzi, le ame siwo tem ɖe to la ta.
12 Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.
Mègatsɔm de asi na nye futɔwo ƒe didi o, elabena alakpaɖasefowo tso ɖe ŋutinye kpe ɖe ame siwo lɔ ŋutasesẽ ƒe gbɔgbɔtsixɛ ɖe ƒo la ŋuti.
13 I believe that I shall see—The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,
Esia nye nu si dzi meka ɖo la be: Makpɔ Yehowa ƒe nu nyuiwo le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
14 Wait thou for Yahweh, —Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
Kpɔ mɔ na Yehowa; sẽ ŋu, eye nàlé dzi ɖe ƒo. Kpɔ mɔ na Yehowa.
