Psalmowo 125

1 Mɔzɔha. Ame siwo ɖoa dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu la le abe Zion to si meʋãna o, eye wònɔa anyi ɖikaa la ene.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.

2 Abe ale si towo ƒo xlã Yerusalem ene la, nenema Yehowa ƒo xlã eƒe dukɔ lae, tso fifia yi ɖe mavɔ me.

In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.

3 Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe fiatikplɔ manɔ anyigba si woka na ame dzɔdzɔewo la dzi o, ne menye nenema o la, ame dzɔdzɔewo ava tsɔ woƒe asi awɔ nu vɔ̃ɖii.

The wicked will not always rule over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.

4 O! Yehowa, wɔ nyui na nu nyui wɔlawo, ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka.

Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.

5 Ke ame siwo trɔ ɖe mɔ gɔglɔ̃ dzi la, Yehowa atsɔ wo aƒu gbe, kpe ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo ŋu. Ŋutifafa nenɔ Israel dzi.

But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—those the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil. May Israel be at peace!
