Psalmowo 103
1 David ƒe ha. O! Nye luʋɔ, kafu Yehowa; nu siwo katã le menye la, mikafu eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, his holy Name;
2 O! Nye luʋɔ, kafu Yehowa, eye mègaŋlɔ nu nyui siwo katã wòwɔ na wò la be o.
Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —
3 Ame si tsɔ wò vodadawo katã kea wò, eye wòdaa gbe le wò dɔlélewo katã ŋu.
Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Ame si ɖea wò agbe tso ʋe me, eye wòtsɔa lɔlɔ̃ kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ ɖɔna na wò.
Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:
5 Ame si tsɔa nu nyuiwo ɖia ƒo na wò didiwo, ale be wò ɖekakpuinyenye gaɖoa yeye me abe hɔ̃ tɔ ene.
Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.
6 Yehowa lɔ̃a nu dzɔdzɔe wɔwɔ, eye wòtsoa afia na ame siwo katã wote ɖe anyi.
Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.
7 Ena Mose nya eƒe mɔwo, eye wòna Israelviwo nya eƒe nuwɔwɔwo.
Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.
8 Yehowa kpɔa nublanui, eye wòvea ame nu, medoa dɔmedzoe kabakaba o, eye lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe esi.
Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 Metsɔa nya ɖe ame ŋu ɣe sia ɣi, alo léa dɔmedzoe ɖi ɖikaa o.
Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;
10 Mewɔna na mí ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo nu, alo ɖoa eteƒe na mí ɖe míaƒe vodadawo nu o.
Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.
11 Elabena abe ale si dziƒo kɔ tso anyigba gbɔe ene la, nenemae eƒe lɔlɔ̃ loloe na ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ.
For, as the heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere him;
12 Abe ale si ɣedzeƒe didii tso ɣetoɖoƒe gbɔ ene la, nenemae wòte míaƒe dzidadawo ɖa tso mía gbɔe.
As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;
13 Abe ale si fofo ƒe dɔ me trɔna ɖe viawo ŋuti ene la, nenemae Yehowa kpɔa nublanui na ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ,
Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;
14 elabena enya ale si wowɔ mí, eye eɖo ŋku edzi be ʋuʋudedi ko míenye.
For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.
15 Amegbetɔ ƒe ŋkekewo le abe gbe ene, edzena abe seƒoƒo le gbedzi ene;
As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;
16 ya ƒona toa edzi, eye meganɔa anyi o, womegaɖoa ŋku eteƒe gɔ̃ hã dzi o.
For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.
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 lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children’s children: —
18 kpakple ame siwo léa eƒe nubabla me ɖe asi, eye woɖoa ŋku edzi wɔna ɖe eƒe sewo dzi.
To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.
19 Yehowa ɖo eƒe fiazikpui anyi ɖe dziƒo, eye eƒe fiaɖuƒe le wo katã dzi ɖum.
Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.
20 Mi eƒe dɔlawo, mikafu Yehowa, mi ŋusẽtɔ siwo wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu, eye miewɔa eƒe nya dzi.
Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his, —Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;
21 Mikafu Yehowa, mi eƒe dziƒoʋakɔwo katã, mi eƒe dɔla siwo wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu.
Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;
22 Mikafu Yehowa, mi eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo katã, le afi sia afi, le eƒe dziɖuɖu te. O! Nye luʋɔ, kafu Yehowa.
Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.
