Psalmowo 130

1 Mɔzɔha. O! Yehowa, mele koko ƒom na wò tso nye dzi me ke.

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Jehovah.

2 O! Aƒetɔ, ɖo to nye gbe. Wò to nenɔ te nàse nye nublanuiɣli.

Lord, hear my voice. Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 O! Yehowa, ne àlé amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖe agbalẽ me ada ɖi la, O! Aƒetɔ, ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te?

If thou, Jehovah, should note iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4 Ke wò la, tsɔtsɔke le gbɔwò, eya ta wovɔ̃a wò ɖo.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou may be feared.

5 Mele Yehowa ƒe asinu kpɔm, nye luʋɔ le lalam, eye metsɔ nye mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe eƒe nya dzi.

I wait for Jehovah. My soul waits, and in his word do I hope,

6 Nye luʋɔ le lalam na Aƒetɔ la wu ale si zãɖialawo kpɔa mɔ na ŋu ƒe keke; mebe wu ale si zãɖialawo kpɔa mɔ na ŋu ƒe keke.

my soul for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning.

7 O! Israel, tsɔ wò mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe Yehowa dzi, elabena lɔlɔ̃ matrɔ le Yehowa si, eye ɖeɖe blibo le eya amea gbɔ.

O Israel, hope in Jehovah, for with Jehovah there is loving kindness, and with him is plentiful redemption.

8 Eya ŋutɔ aɖe Israel tso eƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me.

And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
