Psalmowo 103
1 David ƒe ha. O! Nye luʋɔ, kafu Yehowa; nu siwo katã le menye la, mikafu eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.
2 O! Nye luʋɔ, kafu Yehowa, eye mègaŋlɔ nu nyui siwo katã wòwɔ na wò la be o.
Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.
3 Ame si tsɔ wò vodadawo katã kea wò, eye wòdaa gbe le wò dɔlélewo katã ŋu.
He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;
4 Ame si ɖea wò agbe tso ʋe me, eye wòtsɔa lɔlɔ̃ kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ ɖɔna na wò.
He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.
5 Ame si tsɔa nu nyuiwo ɖia ƒo na wò didiwo, ale be wò ɖekakpuinyenye gaɖoa yeye me abe hɔ̃ tɔ ene.
He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.
6 Yehowa lɔ̃a nu dzɔdzɔe wɔwɔ, eye wòtsoa afia na ame siwo katã wote ɖe anyi.
The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.
7 Ena Mose nya eƒe mɔwo, eye wòna Israelviwo nya eƒe nuwɔwɔwo.
He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.
8 Yehowa kpɔa nublanui, eye wòvea ame nu, medoa dɔmedzoe kabakaba o, eye lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe esi.
The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.
9 Metsɔa nya ɖe ame ŋu ɣe sia ɣi, alo léa dɔmedzoe ɖi ɖikaa o.
His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.
10 Mewɔna na mí ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo nu, alo ɖoa eteƒe na mí ɖe míaƒe vodadawo nu o.
He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.
11 Elabena abe ale si dziƒo kɔ tso anyigba gbɔe ene la, nenemae eƒe lɔlɔ̃ loloe na ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ.
For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.
12 Abe ale si ɣedzeƒe didii tso ɣetoɖoƒe gbɔ ene la, nenemae wòte míaƒe dzidadawo ɖa tso mía gbɔe.
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.
13 Abe ale si fofo ƒe dɔ me trɔna ɖe viawo ŋuti ene la, nenemae Yehowa kpɔa nublanui na ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ,
As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.
14 elabena enya ale si wowɔ mí, eye eɖo ŋku edzi be ʋuʋudedi ko míenye.
For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.
15 Amegbetɔ ƒe ŋkekewo le abe gbe ene, edzena abe seƒoƒo le gbedzi ene;
As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.
16 ya ƒona toa edzi, eye meganɔa anyi o, womegaɖoa ŋku eteƒe gɔ̃ hã dzi o.
The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.
17 Gake tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃ li kple ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, eye eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye nɔa anyi kple wo viwo ƒe viwo
But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;
18 kpakple ame siwo léa eƒe nubabla me ɖe asi, eye woɖoa ŋku edzi wɔna ɖe eƒe sewo dzi.
If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.
19 Yehowa ɖo eƒe fiazikpui anyi ɖe dziƒo, eye eƒe fiaɖuƒe le wo katã dzi ɖum.
The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.
20 Mi eƒe dɔlawo, mikafu Yehowa, mi ŋusẽtɔ siwo wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu, eye miewɔa eƒe nya dzi.
Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.
21 Mikafu Yehowa, mi eƒe dziƒoʋakɔwo katã, mi eƒe dɔla siwo wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu.
Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.
22 Mikafu Yehowa, mi eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo katã, le afi sia afi, le eƒe dziɖuɖu te. O! Nye luʋɔ, kafu Yehowa.
Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
