Psalmowo 116
1 Melɔ̃ Yehowa, elabena ese nye gbe; ese nye avifafa be wonekpɔ nublanui nam.
Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication.
2 Esi wòtrɔ to ɖe gbɔnye ta la, mayɔe zi ale si mele agbe.
Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.
The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Tete meyɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ be, “O! Yehowa, ɖem!”
Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
5 Yehowa nye amenuvetɔ kple dzɔdzɔetɔ; míaƒe Mawu la yɔ fũu kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ.
The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity.
6 Yehowa kpɔa ame siwo fa tu le dzi me la ta; esi menɔ hiahiã gã aɖe me la, eɖem le eme.
The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.
7 O! Luʋɔnye, gagbɔ ɖe eme, elabena Yehowa nyo dɔ me na wò.
Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
8 O! Yehowa, wòe ɖe nye luʋɔ tso ku me, nye ŋkuwo tso aɖatsi si me, nye afɔwo tso anyidzedze me;
For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 be mate ŋu azɔ le Yehowa ŋkume le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.
10 Mexɔe se, eya ta megblɔ be, “Wokaa hiãm ŋutɔ.”
Alleluia. I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.
11 Eye le nye moya me, megblɔ be, “Amegbetɔwo katã nye aʋatsokalawo.”
And I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar.
12 Aleke mawɔ aɖo dɔmenyo siwo katã Yehowa wɔ nam la teƒe nɛ?
What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?
13 Makɔ xɔxɔ ƒe kplu la ɖe dzi, eye mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
14 Maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na Yehowa le eƒe dukɔ blibo la ŋkume.
I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people.
15 Eƒe ame kɔkɔewo ƒe ku nye nu xɔasi le Yehowa ŋkume.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16 O! Yehowa, menye wò dɔla vavã, wò dɔlae menye, wò subɔla ƒe viŋutsue menye, eye nèɖem tso nye gakɔsɔkɔsɔ siwo blam la me.
O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst by bonds asunder.
17 Masa akpedavɔ na wò, eye mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
18 Maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na Yehowa, le eƒe dukɔ blibo la ŋkume,
I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people,
19 le Yehowa ƒe aƒe ƒe xɔxɔnuwo, le mia dome, o Yerusalem. Mikafu Yehowa.
in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem.
