< 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 to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgement; I will sing a psalm,
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.
and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.
3 Nyematsɔ nu si me vɔ̃ le la aɖo nye ŋkume o. Metsri xɔsemanɔsitɔwo ƒe nuwɔnawo, womalé ɖe ŋunye o.
I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.
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 has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.
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.
Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.
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 walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.
7 Ame si nye ameblela la, manɔ aƒenye me o, eye ame si daa alakpa la matsi tsitre ɖe ŋkunye me o.
The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.
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.
Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
