< Psalmowo 116 >
1 Melɔ̃ Yehowa, elabena ese nye gbe; ese nye avifafa be wonekpɔ nublanui nam.
Ngiyamthanda uThixo ngoba walizwa ilizwi lami; wezwa ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
2 Esi wòtrɔ to ɖe gbɔnye ta la, mayɔe zi ale si mele agbe.
Ngoba wangipha indlela yakhe, ngizambiza kokuphela nxa ngisaphila.
3 Ku ƒe kawo blam, eye tsiẽƒe ƒe vevesese va dzinye. Hiã tum, eye nuxaxa va dzinye. (Sheol )
Izibopho zokufa zangithandela, ubuhlungu obukhulu bengcwaba bangehlela; ngagajelwa yikuhlupheka losizi. (Sheol )
4 Tete meyɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ be, “O! Yehowa, ɖem!”
Ngasengibiza ibizo likaThixo: “Oh Thixo ake ungisindise!”
5 Yehowa nye amenuvetɔ kple dzɔdzɔetɔ; míaƒe Mawu la yɔ fũu kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ.
UThixo ulomusa njalo ulungile; uNkulunkulu wethu ulesihawu.
6 Yehowa kpɔa ame siwo fa tu le dzi me la ta; esi menɔ hiahiã gã aɖe me la, eɖem le eme.
UThixo uvikela abalenhliziyo ethobekileyo; ngathi ngihluphekile kakhulu wangisindisa.
7 O! Luʋɔnye, gagbɔ ɖe eme, elabena Yehowa nyo dɔ me na wò.
Phumula njalo, we mphefumulo wami, ngoba uThixo ukwenzile ukulunga.
8 O! Yehowa, wòe ɖe nye luʋɔ tso ku me, nye ŋkuwo tso aɖatsi si me, nye afɔwo tso anyidzedze me;
Ngoba wena Thixo, uwukhulule umphefumulo wami ekufeni, amehlo ami ezinyembezini, lezinyawo zami azaze zakhubeka,
9 be mate ŋu azɔ le Yehowa ŋkume le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
ukuze ngihambe phambi kukaThixo elizweni labaphilayo.
10 Mexɔe se, eya ta megblɔ be, “Wokaa hiãm ŋutɔ.”
Ngathembela kuThixo; ngakho ngasengisithi, “Ngiyahlupheka kakhulu.”
11 Eye le nye moya me, megblɔ be, “Amegbetɔwo katã nye aʋatsokalawo.”
Ngiphakathi kokulahla ithemba ngathi, “Bonke abantu balamanga.”
12 Aleke mawɔ aɖo dɔmenyo siwo katã Yehowa wɔ nam la teƒe nɛ?
Ngingambonga ngani uThixo ngabo bonke ubuhle bakhe kimi?
13 Makɔ xɔxɔ ƒe kplu la ɖe dzi, eye mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ.
Ngizayiphakamisa inkezo yensindiso ngimemeze ibizo likaThixo.
14 Maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na Yehowa le eƒe dukɔ blibo la ŋkume.
Ngizazigcwalisa izifungo zami kuThixo phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe.
15 Eƒe ame kɔkɔewo ƒe ku nye nu xɔasi le Yehowa ŋkume.
Kuligugu emehlweni kaThixo ukufa kwabathembekileyo bakhe.
16 O! Yehowa, menye wò dɔla vavã, wò dɔlae menye, wò subɔla ƒe viŋutsue menye, eye nèɖem tso nye gakɔsɔkɔsɔ siwo blam la me.
Oh Thixo, ngempela ngiyinceku Yakho, indodana yencekukazi yakho; usungikhulule emaketaneni ami.
17 Masa akpedavɔ na wò, eye mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ.
Ngizakwenzela umhlatshelo womnikelo wokubonga ngilibize ibizo likaThixo
18 Maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na Yehowa, le eƒe dukɔ blibo la ŋkume,
Ngizazigcwalisa izifungo zami kuThixo phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe,
19 le Yehowa ƒe aƒe ƒe xɔxɔnuwo, le mia dome, o Yerusalem. Mikafu Yehowa.
emagumeni endlu kaThixo phakathi kwakho, wena Jerusalema. Dumisani uThixo.
