Psalmowo 130

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

“A song of the degrees.” Out of the depths have I called thee, O Lord.

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

Lord, listen to my voice: let thy 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, Lord, shouldst treasure up iniquities, O Lord, who would be able to stand?

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

But with thee there is forgiveness, in order 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 hope for the Lord, my soul doth hope, and for his word do I wait.

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 they that watch for the morning expect 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 wait for the Lord; for with the Lord there is kindness, and with him is redemption in abundance;

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

And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
