< Psalmowo 103 >

1 David ƒe ha. O! Nye luʋɔ, kafu Yehowa; nu siwo katã le menye la, mikafu eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
A psalm of David. I give praise to Yahweh with all my life, and with all that is within me, I give praise to his holy name.
2 O! Nye luʋɔ, kafu Yehowa, eye mègaŋlɔ nu nyui siwo katã wòwɔ na wò la be o.
I give praise to Yahweh with all my life, and I remember all of his good deeds.
3 Ame si tsɔ wò vodadawo katã kea wò, eye wòdaa gbe le wò dɔlélewo katã ŋu.
He forgives all your sins; he heals all your diseases.
4 Ame si ɖea wò agbe tso ʋe me, eye wòtsɔa lɔlɔ̃ kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ ɖɔna na wò.
He redeems your life from destruction; he crowns you with covenant faithfulness and acts of tender mercy.
5 Ame si tsɔa nu nyuiwo ɖia ƒo na wò didiwo, ale be wò ɖekakpuinyenye gaɖoa yeye me abe hɔ̃ tɔ ene.
He satisfies your life with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 Yehowa lɔ̃a nu dzɔdzɔe wɔwɔ, eye wòtsoa afia na ame siwo katã wote ɖe anyi.
Yahweh does what is fair and does acts of justice for all who are oppressed.
7 Ena Mose nya eƒe mɔwo, eye wòna Israelviwo nya eƒe nuwɔwɔwo.
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the descendants of Israel.
8 Yehowa kpɔa nublanui, eye wòvea ame nu, medoa dɔmedzoe kabakaba o, eye lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe esi.
Yahweh is merciful and gracious; he is patient; he has great covenant loyalty.
9 Metsɔa nya ɖe ame ŋu ɣe sia ɣi, alo léa dɔmedzoe ɖi ɖikaa o.
He will not always discipline; he is not always angry.
10 Mewɔna na mí ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo nu, alo ɖoa eteƒe na mí ɖe míaƒe vodadawo nu o.
He does not deal with us as our sins deserve or repay us for what our sins demand.
11 Elabena abe ale si dziƒo kɔ tso anyigba gbɔe ene la, nenemae eƒe lɔlɔ̃ loloe na ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ.
For as the skies are high above the earth, so great is his covenant faithfulness toward those who honor him.
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, this is how far he has removed the guilt of 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 compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who honor him.
14 elabena enya ale si wowɔ mí, eye eɖo ŋku edzi be ʋuʋudedi ko míenye.
For he knows how we are formed; he knows that we are dust.
15 Amegbetɔ ƒe ŋkekewo le abe gbe ene, edzena abe seƒoƒo le gbedzi ene;
As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower in a field.
16 ya ƒona toa edzi, eye meganɔa anyi o, womegaɖoa ŋku eteƒe gɔ̃ hã dzi o.
The wind blows over it, and it disappears, and no one can even tell where it once grew.
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 covenant faithfulness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who honor him. His righteousness extends to their descendants.
18 kpakple ame siwo léa eƒe nubabla me ɖe asi, eye woɖoa ŋku edzi wɔna ɖe eƒe sewo dzi.
They keep his covenant and remember to obey his instructions.
19 Yehowa ɖo eƒe fiazikpui anyi ɖe dziƒo, eye eƒe fiaɖuƒe le wo katã dzi ɖum.
Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over everyone.
20 Mi eƒe dɔlawo, mikafu Yehowa, mi ŋusẽtɔ siwo wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu, eye miewɔa eƒe nya dzi.
Give praise to Yahweh, you his angels, you mighty ones who are strong and do his word, and obey the sound of his word.
21 Mikafu Yehowa, mi eƒe dziƒoʋakɔwo katã, mi eƒe dɔla siwo wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu.
Give praise to Yahweh, all his hosts, you are his servants who carry out his will.
22 Mikafu Yehowa, mi eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo katã, le afi sia afi, le eƒe dziɖuɖu te. O! Nye luʋɔ, kafu Yehowa.
Give praise to Yahweh, all his creatures, in all the places where he reigns. I will give praise to Yahweh with all my life.
