Psalmowo 101

1 David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, madzi ha le wò lɔlɔ̃ kple afia nyui tsotso ŋuti, eye madzi kafukafuha na wò.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.

2 Makpɔ nyuie be menɔ agbe si ŋu mokaka mele o, eya ta gbe ka gbe nàva asrãm kpɔ? Mazɔ le aƒenye me kple dzi si ŋuti mokaka mele o.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 Nyematsɔ nu si me vɔ̃ le la aɖo nye ŋkume o. Metsri xɔsemanɔsitɔwo ƒe nuwɔnawo, womalé ɖe ŋunye o.

I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.

4 Ame siwo ƒe dzi to vo la, ate ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye, kadodo aɖeke mele nye kple nu vɔ̃ɖi dome o.

A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.

5 Made ga nu na ame si ƒo ɖi ehavi ƒe ŋkɔ le bebeme, eye ame si ŋku gã le esi eye wòdana le dzi me la, eya nyematɔ ɖe egbɔ o.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

6 Nye ŋku anɔ nuteƒewɔlawo ŋu le anyigba dzi, be woanɔ anyi kplim. Ame si fɔɖiɖi mele eƒe zɔzɔme ŋu o la, anye nye nunɔla.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

7 Ame si nye ameblela la, manɔ aƒenye me o, eye ame si daa alakpa la matsi tsitre ɖe ŋkunye me o.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

8 Ŋdi sia ŋdi la, mana ame vɔ̃ɖi siwo le anyigba dzi la nazi ɖoɖoe. Maɖe nu tovo wɔla ɖe sia ɖe ɖa le Yehowa ƒe du la me.

Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
