Psalmowo 109
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Mawu, wò ame si mekafu, mègazi ɖoɖoe o,
To victorye, the salm of Dauid.
2 elabena ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kple alakpatɔwo, ke woƒe nuwo ɖe ŋutinye, eye wogblɔ nya ɖe ŋunye kple alakpaɖewo.
God, holde thou not stille my preisyng; for the mouth of the synner, and the mouth of the gileful man is openyd on me.
3 Wotsɔ fulényawo ƒo xlãm; wotso ɖe ŋunye nanekemawɔmawɔe.
Thei spaken ayens me with a gileful tunge, and thei cumpassiden me with wordis of hatrede; and fouyten ayens me with out cause.
4 Wotsɔ fɔbubu nam ɖe nye lɔlɔ̃ teƒe, ke nye la, ame si doa gbe ɖa vevie lae menye.
For that thing that thei schulden loue me, thei bacbitiden me; but Y preiede.
5 Wotsɔ vɔ̃ ɖo nyui teƒe nam, eye wotsɔ fuléle ɖo nye lɔlɔ̃ teƒe.
And thei settiden ayens me yuelis for goodis; and hatrede for my loue.
6 Tia ame vɔ̃ɖi aɖe wòatso ɖe eŋu; eye na amenutsola natsi tsitre ɖe eƒe nuɖusime.
Ordeyne thou a synner on him; and the deuel stonde on his riyt half.
7 Ne wodrɔ̃ ʋɔnui la, woneɖe agɔdzedze nɛ, eye eƒe gbedodoɖawo nebu fɔe.
Whanne he is demed, go he out condempned; and his preier `be maad in to synne.
8 Eƒe ŋkekewo nenɔ ʋɛ eye ame bubu naxɔ eƒe amekplɔdɔ awɔ.
Hise daies be maad fewe; and another take his bischopriche.
9 Viawo nezu tsyɔ̃eviwo, eye srɔ̃a nezu ahosi.
Hise sones be maad faderles; and his wijf a widewe.
10 Viawo nenɔ tsaglãla tsam, anɔ nu biam; wonenya wo do goe le woƒe aƒe gbagbãwo me.
Hise sones tremblinge be born ouer, and begge; and be cast out of her habitaciouns.
11 Fetɔ aɖe nexɔ eƒe nunɔmesiwo katã, eye amedzrowo neha nu siwo wòwɔ dɔ kpɔ.
An vsurere seke al his catel; and aliens rauysche hise trauelis.
12 Ame aɖeke megave enu loo, alo akpɔ nublanui na eƒe tsyɔ̃eviwo o.
Noon helpere be to him; nether ony be that haue mercy on hise modirles children.
13 Eƒe dzidzimeviwo netsrɔ̃, eye woaɖe woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa le dzidzime si gbɔna la me.
Hise sones be maad in to perisching; the name of him be don awei in oon generacioun.
14 Woneɖo ŋku fofoawo ƒe vodadawo dzi le Yehowa ŋkume, eye womegatutu dadaa ƒe nu vɔ̃ ɖa akpɔ gbeɖe o.
The wickidnesse of hise fadris come ayen in to mynde in the siyt of the Lord; and the synne of his modir be not don awei.
15 Woƒe nu vɔ̃wo nenɔ Yehowa ŋkume ɖaa, ale be wòaɖe woƒe ŋkɔ ɖa le anyigba dzi,
Be thei maad euere ayens the Lord; and the mynde of hem perische fro erthe.
16 elabena mebu dɔmenyowɔwɔ ŋuti kpɔ o, ke boŋ eƒo hiãtɔ, ame dahe kple ame si ƒe dzi gbã la ƒu anyi woku.
For that thing that he thouyte not to do merci,
17 Elɔ̃a ɖiŋudodo, eya ta ɖiŋudodo neva eya ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi; amewo yayra medoa dzidzɔ nɛ o, eya ta yayra nete ɖa xaa tso eya ŋutɔ gbɔ.
and he pursuede a pore man and beggere; and to slee a man compunct in herte.
18 Etsɔ ɖiŋudodo do abe awu ene, wòge ɖe eƒe lãme abe tsi ene, eye wòɖo eƒe ƒuwo me abe ami ene,
And he louede cursing, and it schal come to hym; and he nolde blessing, and it schal be maad fer fro him. And he clothide cursing as a cloth, and it entride as water in to hise ynnere thingis; and as oile in hise boonus.
19 eya ta netae abe avɔ ene, eye nebla ali dzi nɛ abe alidziblaka ene tegbetegbe.
Be it maad to him as a cloth, with which he is hilyd; and as a girdil, with which he is euere gird.
20 Esia nenye fe si Yehowa axe na nunyetsolawo kple ame siwo gblɔa nya vɔ̃ ɖe ŋutinye.
This is the werk of hem that bacbiten me anentis the Lord; and that speke yuels ayens my lijf.
21 Ke wò la, o Aƒetɔ Yehowa, wɔ nyui nam le wò ŋkɔ la ta, ɖem le wò lɔlɔ̃ si wɔa nyui la ta,
And thou, Lord, Lord, do with me for thi name; for thi merci is swete.
22 elabena hiãtɔ kple ame dahe menye, eye nye dzi xɔ abi le menye.
Delyuere thou me, for Y am nedi and pore; and myn herte is disturblid with ynne me.
23 Nunye yi abe vɔvɔli le fiẽ me ene eye woʋuʋum abe ʋetsuvi ene.
I am takun awei as a schadowe, whanne it bowith awei; and Y am schakun awei as locustis.
24 Le nutsitsidɔ ta la, nye klowo zu belie, eye meɖi ku glaglaglã.
Mi knees ben maad feble of fasting; and my fleische was chaungid for oile.
25 Mezu alɔmeɖenu na nunyetsolawo, eye woʋuʋua ta ne wokpɔm.
And Y am maad schenschipe to hem; thei sien me, and moueden her heedis.
26 O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, kpe ɖe ŋunye, ɖem le wò lɔlɔ̃ la ta.
Mi Lord God, helpe thou me; make thou me saaf bi thi merci.
27 O! Yehowa, wonenya be to wò asi dzie nèwɔ esia.
And thei schulen wite, that this is thin hond; and thou, Lord, hast do it.
28 Woaƒo fi ade ame, ke wò la àyra ame, ne wotso ɖe ŋunye la, ŋu akpe wo, ke wò dɔla ya atso aseye.
Thei schulen curse, and thou schalt blesse, thei that risen ayens me, be schent; but thi seruaunt schal be glad.
29 Nunyetsolawo ado vlododo abe awu ene, eye wòata ŋukpe abe avɔ ene.
Thei that bacbiten me, be clothid with schame; and be thei hilid with her schenschipe as with a double cloth.
30 Matsɔ nye nu ado Yehowa ɖe dzi, eye le ameha gã la dome, makafui,
I schal knouleche to the Lord greetli with my mouth; and Y schal herie hym in the myddil of many men.
31 elabena etsi tsitre ɖe hiãtɔ la ƒe nuɖusime, be yeaɖe eƒe agbe tso ame siwo bu fɔ̃e la ƒe asi me.
Which stood nyy on the riyt half of a pore man; to make saaf my soule fro pursueris.
