< Psalmowo 121 >
1 Mɔzɔha. Mewu mo dzi ɖe togbɛawo ŋu, afi ka nye xɔname atso ava?
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where shall my help come?
2 Nye xɔname atso Yehowa, ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba la gbɔ.
My help is from Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.
3 Mana wò afɔ naɖiɖi o, eya ame si dzɔa ŋuwò la madɔ akɔlɔ̃e o.
He will not allow thy foot to be moved. He who keeps thee will not slumber.
4 Vavã, eya ame si dzɔa Israel ŋu la, madɔ akɔlɔ̃e loo, alo adɔ alɔ̃ o.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Yehowae nye tawòkpɔla, Yehowae nye wò vɔvɔli le wò nuɖusime
Jehovah is thy keeper. Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 eya ta ɣe maɖu wò le ŋkeke me loo, alo ɣleti le zã me o.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 Yehowa aɖe wò le vɔ̃wo katã me, eye wòakpɔ wò agbe ta.
Jehovah will keep thee from all evil. He will keep thy soul.
8 Yehowa adzɔ wò vava kple wò dzodzo ŋuti, fifia yi ɖase mavɔmavɔ me.
Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
