Psalmowo 116
1 Melɔ̃ Yehowa, elabena ese nye gbe; ese nye avifafa be wonekpɔ nublanui nam.
I rejoice that the LORD hath heard the voice of my supplication,
2 Esi wòtrɔ to ɖe gbɔnye ta la, mayɔe zi ale si mele agbe.
That he hath inclined his ear to me and heard me; I will call upon him as long as I live.
The snares of death encompassed me, And the pains of the underworld seized upon me; I found distress and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Tete meyɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ be, “O! Yehowa, ɖem!”
Then called I upon the LORD: O LORD! deliver me!
5 Yehowa nye amenuvetɔ kple dzɔdzɔetɔ; míaƒe Mawu la yɔ fũu kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.
6 Yehowa kpɔa ame siwo fa tu le dzi me la ta; esi menɔ hiahiã gã aɖe me la, eɖem le eme.
The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 O! Luʋɔnye, gagbɔ ɖe eme, elabena Yehowa nyo dɔ me na wò.
Return, O my soul! to thy rest! For the LORD hath dealt kindly with thee.
8 O! Yehowa, wòe ɖe nye luʋɔ tso ku me, nye ŋkuwo tso aɖatsi si me, nye afɔwo tso anyidzedze me;
For thou hast preserved me from death; Thou hast kept mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling!
9 be mate ŋu azɔ le Yehowa ŋkume le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
I shall walk before the LORD, In the land of the living.
10 Mexɔe se, eya ta megblɔ be, “Wokaa hiãm ŋutɔ.”
I had trust, although I said, “I am grievously afflicted!”
11 Eye le nye moya me, megblɔ be, “Amegbetɔwo katã nye aʋatsokalawo.”
I said in my distress, “All men are liars.”
12 Aleke mawɔ aɖo dɔmenyo siwo katã Yehowa wɔ nam la teƒe nɛ?
What shall I render to the LORD For all his benefits to 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 eyes of the LORD Is the death of his holy ones.
16 O! Yehowa, menye wò dɔla vavã, wò dɔlae menye, wò subɔla ƒe viŋutsue menye, eye nèɖem tso nye gakɔsɔkɔsɔ siwo blam la me.
Hear, O LORD! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid! Thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 Masa akpedavɔ na wò, eye mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, 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 house of the LORD, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
