Psalmowo 102
1 Hiãtɔ aɖe ƒe gbedodoɖa, esi nu te eŋu, eye wòfa konyi le Yehowa ŋkume. O! Yehowa, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nye kokoƒoƒo hena kpekpeɖeŋu neɖo gbɔwò.
A prayer of the afflicted, when he shall be in distresse, and pour forth his meditation before the Lord. O Lord, heare my prayer, and let my crye come vnto thee.
2 Mègaɣla wò ŋkume ɖem, ne mele xaxa me o. Trɔ wò to ɖe gbɔnye, eye ne meyɔ wò la, nàtɔ nam kaba.
Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble: incline thine eares vnto me: when I call, make haste to heare me.
3 Elabena nye ŋkekewo nu va yi abe dzudzɔ ene, eye nye ƒuwo xɔ dzo hẽe abe dzokpo ene.
For my dayes are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burnt like an herthe.
4 Nye dzi xɔ abi, eye wòyrɔ abe gbe ene. Meŋlɔ nye nuɖuɖu gɔ̃ hã be.
Mine heart is smitten and withereth like grasse, because I forgate to eate my bread.
5 Le nye ŋeŋe sesĩe ta la, meɖi ku zu ƒu ɖeɖe.
For the voyce of my groning my bones doe cleaue to my skinne.
6 Mele abe ʋlukuku si le gbegbe ene, alo abe ʋlukuku si le gli gbagbãwo tome ene.
I am like a pelicane of the wildernesse: I am like an owle of the deserts.
7 Mele ŋu le aba dzi, eye mele abe xevi si tsi akogo le xɔ tame ene.
I watch and am as a sparrowe alone vpon the house top.
8 Nye futɔwo le alɔme ɖem le ŋunye ŋkeke blibo la, eye ame siwo tso ɖe ŋunye la tsɔ nye ŋkɔ wɔ ɖiŋudonui.
Mine enemies reuile me dayly, and they that rage against me, haue sworne against me.
9 Elabena meɖu dzowɔ abe nuɖuɖu ene, eye metsɔ aɖatsi tɔtɔ nye nunonoe,
Surely I haue eaten asshes as bread, and mingled my drinke with weeping,
10 le wò dziku helĩhelĩ la ta elabena èdom ɖe dzi, eye nètsɔm ƒu gbe ɖe adzɔge.
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast heaued me vp, and cast me downe.
11 Nye ŋkekewo le abe fiẽ ƒe vɔvɔli ene, eye meyrɔ abe gbe ene.
My dayes are like a shadowe that fadeth, and I am withered like grasse.
12 O! Yehowa, wò la èle fia ɖum tegbetegbe, eye wò ŋkɔxɔxɔ li tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
But thou, O Lord, doest remaine for euer, and thy remembrance from generation to generation.
13 Ke wò la àtso, akpɔ nublanui na Zion, elabena ɣeyiɣi de be nàve enu, ɛ̃, ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖi la de.
Thou wilt arise and haue mercy vpon Zion: for the time to haue mercie thereon, for the appointed time is come.
14 Elabena eƒe kpewo xɔ asi le wò dɔlawo gbɔ, eye eƒe ʋuʋudedi gɔ̃ hã ʋãa nublanuikpɔkpɔ le wo me.
For thy seruants delite in the stones thereof, and haue pitie on the dust thereof.
15 Dukɔwo avɔ̃ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, eye anyigbadzifiawo katã ade bubu wò ŋutikɔkɔe ŋu.
Then the heathen shall feare the Name of the Lord, and all the Kings of the earth thy glory,
16 Elabena Yehowa agbugbɔ Zion atso, eye wòado le eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
When the Lord shall build vp Zion, and shall appeare in his glory,
17 Aɖo hiãtɔwo ƒe gbedodoɖa ŋu, eye mado vlo woƒe kokoƒoƒo o.
And shall turne vnto the prayer of the desolate, and not despise their prayer.
18 Miŋlɔ esia ɖi hena dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ, ale be ame siwo womedzi haɖe o la nakafu Yehowa be:
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people, which shalbe created, shall prayse the Lord.
19 “Yehowa kpɔ nu tso eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wòkpɔ anyigba tso dziƒo,
For he hath looked downe from the height of his Sanctuarie: out of the heauen did the Lord beholde the earth,
20 be wòase gamenɔlawo ƒe ŋeŋe, eye wòaɖe ga ame siwo wotso kufia na.”
That he might heare the mourning of the prisoner, and deliuer the children of death:
21 Ale woaɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ le Zion kple eƒe kafukafu le Yerusalem,
That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Zion, and his prayse in Ierusalem,
22 ne dukɔwo kple fiaɖuƒewo ƒo ƒu be woasubɔ Yehowa.
When the people shalbe gathered together, and the kingdomes to serue the Lord.
23 Eŋe nye ŋusẽ le nye agbemɔ dzi, eye wòɖe nye ŋkekewo dzi kpɔtɔ,
He abated my strength in the way, and shortened my dayes.
24 eya ta megblɔ be, “O! Nye Mawu, mègakplɔm dzoe le nye ŋkekewo ƒe titina o, wò ame si ƒe ƒewo li tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
And I sayd, O my God, take me not away in the middes of my dayes: thy yeeres endure from generation to generation.
25 Le gɔmedzedzea me la, èɖo anyigba ƒe agunu anyi, eye dziƒowo nye wò asinudɔwɔwɔ.
Thou hast aforetime layde the foundation of the earth, and the heauens are the worke of thine hands.
26 Woatsrɔ̃, ke wò ya ànɔ anyi ɖaa; woanyunyɔ abe avɔ ene, eye àɖɔli wo abe avɔ ene ahatsɔ wo aƒu gbe.
They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: euen they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
27 Ke wò la, ègale ale si nènɔ, eye wò ƒewo mawu enu akpɔ o.
But thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not fayle.
28 Wò dɔlawo ƒe viwo anɔ ŋkuwò me, eye woaɖo woƒe dzidzimeviwo anyi le ŋkuwò me.”
The children of thy seruants shall continue, and their seede shall stand fast in thy sight.
