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 IS FEEBLE, AND POURS OUT HIS COMPLAINT BEFORE YHWH. O YHWH, hear my prayer, indeed, my cry comes to You.
2 Mègaɣla wò ŋkume ɖem, ne mele xaxa me o. Trɔ wò to ɖe gbɔnye, eye ne meyɔ wò la, nàtɔ nam kaba.
Do not hide Your face from me, In a day of my adversity, Incline Your ear to me, In the day I call, hurry, answer me.
3 Elabena nye ŋkekewo nu va yi abe dzudzɔ ene, eye nye ƒuwo xɔ dzo hẽe abe dzokpo ene.
For my days have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have burned as a firebrand.
4 Nye dzi xɔ abi, eye wòyrɔ abe gbe ene. Meŋlɔ nye nuɖuɖu gɔ̃ hã be.
Struck as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.
5 Le nye ŋeŋe sesĩe ta la, meɖi ku zu ƒu ɖeɖe.
From the voice of my sighing My bone has cleaved to my flesh.
6 Mele abe ʋlukuku si le gbegbe ene, alo abe ʋlukuku si le gli gbagbãwo tome ene.
I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.
7 Mele ŋu le aba dzi, eye mele abe xevi si tsi akogo le xɔ tame ene.
I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
8 Nye futɔwo le alɔme ɖem le ŋunye ŋkeke blibo la, eye ame siwo tso ɖe ŋunye la tsɔ nye ŋkɔ wɔ ɖiŋudonui.
All the day my enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.
9 Elabena meɖu dzowɔ abe nuɖuɖu ene, eye metsɔ aɖatsi tɔtɔ nye nunonoe,
Because I have eaten ashes as bread, And have mingled my drink with weeping,
10 le wò dziku helĩhelĩ la ta elabena èdom ɖe dzi, eye nètsɔm ƒu gbe ɖe adzɔge.
From Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up, And cast me down.
11 Nye ŋkekewo le abe fiẽ ƒe vɔvɔli ene, eye meyrɔ abe gbe ene.
My days [are] stretched out as a shadow, And I am withered as the herb.
12 O! Yehowa, wò la èle fia ɖum tegbetegbe, eye wò ŋkɔxɔxɔ li tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
And You, O YHWH, abide for all time, And Your memorial from generation to generation.
13 Ke wò la àtso, akpɔ nublanui na Zion, elabena ɣeyiɣi de be nàve enu, ɛ̃, ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖi la de.
You rise—You pity Zion, For the time to favor her, For the appointed time has come.
14 Elabena eƒe kpewo xɔ asi le wò dɔlawo gbɔ, eye eƒe ʋuʋudedi gɔ̃ hã ʋãa nublanuikpɔkpɔ le wo me.
For Your servants have been pleased with her stones, And they favor her dust.
15 Dukɔwo avɔ̃ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, eye anyigbadzifiawo katã ade bubu wò ŋutikɔkɔe ŋu.
And nations fear the Name of YHWH, And all kings of the earth Your glory,
16 Elabena Yehowa agbugbɔ Zion atso, eye wòado le eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
For YHWH has built Zion, He has been seen in His glory,
17 Aɖo hiãtɔwo ƒe gbedodoɖa ŋu, eye mado vlo woƒe kokoƒoƒo o.
He turned to the prayer of the destitute, And He has not despised their prayer.
18 Miŋlɔ esia ɖi hena dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ, ale be ame siwo womedzi haɖe o la nakafu Yehowa be:
This is written for a later generation, And the people created praise YAH.
19 “Yehowa kpɔ nu tso eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wòkpɔ anyigba tso dziƒo,
For He has looked From the high place of His sanctuary. YHWH looked attentively from the heavens to earth,
20 be wòase gamenɔlawo ƒe ŋeŋe, eye wòaɖe ga ame siwo wotso kufia na.”
To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
21 Ale woaɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ le Zion kple eƒe kafukafu le Yerusalem,
To declare in Zion the Name of YHWH, And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 ne dukɔwo kple fiaɖuƒewo ƒo ƒu be woasubɔ Yehowa.
In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms—to serve YHWH.
23 Eŋe nye ŋusẽ le nye agbemɔ dzi, eye wòɖe nye ŋkekewo dzi kpɔtɔ,
He has humbled my power in the way, He has shortened my days.
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.
I say, “My God, do not take me up in the midst of my days,” Your years [are] through all generations.
25 Le gɔmedzedzea me la, èɖo anyigba ƒe agunu anyi, eye dziƒowo nye wò asinudɔwɔwɔ.
You founded the earth before time, And the heavens [are] the work of Your hands.
26 Woatsrɔ̃, ke wò ya ànɔ anyi ɖaa; woanyunyɔ abe avɔ ene, eye àɖɔli wo abe avɔ ene ahatsɔ wo aƒu gbe.
They perish, and You remain, And all of them become old as a garment, You change them as clothing, And they are changed.
27 Ke wò la, ègale ale si nènɔ, eye wò ƒewo mawu enu akpɔ o.
And You [are] the same, and Your years are not finished.
28 Wò dɔlawo ƒe viwo anɔ ŋkuwò me, eye woaɖo woƒe dzidzimeviwo anyi le ŋkuwò me.”
The sons of Your servants continue, And their seed is established before You!
