< Psalmowo 121 >
1 Mɔzɔha. Mewu mo dzi ɖe togbɛawo ŋu, afi ka nye xɔname atso ava?
A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 Nye xɔname atso Yehowa, ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba la gbɔ.
My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 Mana wò afɔ naɖiɖi o, eya ame si dzɔa ŋuwò la madɔ akɔlɔ̃e o.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Vavã, eya ame si dzɔa Israel ŋu la, madɔ akɔlɔ̃e loo, alo adɔ alɔ̃ o.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Yehowae nye tawòkpɔla, Yehowae nye wò vɔvɔli le wò nuɖusime
The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [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.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 Yehowa adzɔ wò vava kple wò dzodzo ŋuti, fifia yi ɖase mavɔmavɔ me.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
