< Psalms 10 >

1 Why? O Yahweh do you stand at a distance do you hide? to times of trouble.
O! Yehowa, nu ka ta nèle adzɔge ʋĩi ɖo? Nu ka ta nèɣla ɖokuiwò le xaxaɣiwo ɖo?
2 In [the] pride of [the] wicked he hotly pursues [the] afflicted they are caught - by schemes which they have planned.
Ame vɔ̃ɖi dadala he hiãtɔ ƒu anyi, ke wògena ɖe mɔ si wòtre da ɖi la me.
3 For he boasts a wicked [person] on [the] desire of self his and [one] greedy for unjust gain he blesses he spurns - Yahweh.
Nu siwo eƒe dzi dina la, egblɔnɛ adegbeƒotɔe; eyraa ŋuklẽlawo, eye wòɖea alɔme le Yehowa ŋu.
4 A wicked [person] according to [the] haughtiness of nose his not he seeks [are] there not [is] a god all thoughts his.
Ame vɔ̃ɖi la media eƒe mɔ o, le dada viviwo ta, le eƒe ŋugblededewo katã me la, meɖoa ŋku Mawu dzi o.
5 They endure (ways his *Q(k)*) at every time [are] height judgments your from before him all opposers his he breathes out at them.
Eƒe mɔwo dzea edzi nɛ nyuie ɣe sia ɣi, edoa eɖokui ɖe dzi, wò sewo didi tso egbɔ; eye wòɖoa hehe ɖe eƒe futɔwo ta.
6 He says in heart his not I will be shaken to a generation and a generation who not in distress.
Egblɔna na eɖokui be, “Naneke maʋuʋum o, makpɔ dzidzɔ ɣe sia ɣi, eye nyemage ɖe dzɔgbevɔ̃e me akpɔ o.”
7 A curse mouth his it is full and deceit and oppression [are] under tongue his mischief and wickedness.
Fiƒode, alakpa kple ŋɔdzidodo yɔ eƒe nu me fũu, eye gbegblẽ kple nu vɔ̃ɖi le eƒe aɖe te.
8 He sits - in an ambush of villages in hiding places he kills [the] innocent eyes his for an unfortunate person they lie hidden.
Edea xa ɖe kɔƒewo xa; ewu ame maɖifɔwo le xame, eye wòtsa ŋu na ame si wòalé le bebeme.
9 He lies in wait in hiding place - like a lion in lair its he lies in wait to seize [the] afflicted he seizes [the] afflicted when drags [him] away he in net his.
Edea xa ɖe ɣaɣlɛƒe abe dzatae be ɖe ave xa ene; ale be wòalé amemanɔsitɔ; eléa amemanɔsitɔ, eye wòhea wo ɖe eƒe ɖɔ me dzonae.
10 (He is crushed *Q(K)*) he is bowed down and he falls among mighty [ones] his (an army of disheartened [people]. *Q(K)*)
Etoa ƒu ɖe lãme na ame siwo wòlé, woƒe mo tsyɔa zi, eye womuna dzea anyi le eƒe ŋusẽ te.
11 He says in heart his he has forgotten God he has hidden face his not he sees to perpetuity.
Egblɔna na eɖokui be, “Mawu ŋlɔ be; etsɔ nu tsyɔ eƒe mo, eye mele nu kpɔm o.”
12 Arise! O Yahweh O God lift up hand your may not you forget (humble [people]. *Q(K)*)
Tso, Yehowa! O! Mawu, kɔ wò abɔ dzi. Mègaŋlɔ hiãtɔ be o.
13 Concerning what? - has he spurned [the] wicked - God has he said? in heart his not you will seek.
Nu ka ta ame vɔ̃ɖi la le alɔme ɖem le Mawu ŋuti ɖo? Nu ka ta wògblɔna na eɖokui be, “Mayɔm be mana akɔnta o” ɖo?
14 You have seen that you - mischief and vexation - you pay attention to put in hand your on you he abandons an unfortunate person [the] fatherless you - you are a helper.
Ke wò, O! Mawu, koe kpɔa dzɔgbevɔ̃e kple vevesese; èbua eŋuti, eye asiwò me wole. Ame si le fukpekpe me la, tsɔa eɖokui dea asi na wò; elabena wòe nye xɔnametɔ na tsyɔ̃eviwo.
15 Break [the] arm of [the] wicked and [the] evil you will seek wickedness his not you will find.
Ŋe abɔ na ame vɔ̃ɖi kple nu tovo wɔla; yɔe ne wòana akɔnta tso nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo wòwɔ ame aɖeke mekpɔe o la ŋuti.
16 Yahweh [is] king forever and ever they have perished [the] nations from land his.
Yehowae nye fia tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me; dukɔwo atsrɔ̃ ɖa le eƒe anyigba dzi.
17 [the] desire of Humble [people] you have heard O Yahweh you establish heart their you cause to pay attention ear your.
O! Yehowa, èse hiãtɔwo ƒe didi; ède dzi ƒo na wo, eye nèɖo to woƒe ɣlidodo.
18 To vindicate [the] fatherless and [the] oppressed not he will repeat again to terrify humankind from the earth.
Èʋli tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ame siwo wote ɖe anyi la ta, ale be amegbetɔ si nye anyi la magado ŋɔdzi na amewo azɔ o.
