Psalmowo 130

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

A Song of degrees. Out of the depths do I call upon thee, 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 supplication.

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, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?

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

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest 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 doth wait, 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 [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [more than] the watchers 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.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;

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

And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
