Psalmowo 13

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi? Ɖe nàŋlɔm be ɖikaɖika? Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nàɣla wò ŋkume ɖem?

Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

2 Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi mawɔ avu kple nye tamesusu, eye gbe sia gbe nuxaxa nayɔ nye dzi me? Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nye futɔwo aɖu dzinye?

How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

3 Kpɔm ɖa, eye nàɖo nya ŋu nam, O! Yehowa, nye Mawu. Na kekeli naklẽ ɖe nye ŋkuwo dzi, ne menye nenema o la, madɔ alɔ̃ ayi ku me.

Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

4 Ekema nye futɔwo agblɔ be, “Meɖu edzi,” eye nye ketɔwo akpɔ dzidzɔ ne medze anyi.

Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

5 Ke nye ya meɖo dzi ɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ŋu, nye dzi le aseye tsom le wò xɔname ŋuti.

But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

6 Madzi ha na Yehowa, elabena ewɔ nyui nam.

Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.
