Psalmowo 130

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

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Adonai.

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

Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

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

If you, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils), Lord, who could stand?

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

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

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

I wait for Adonai. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

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 longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning; more than 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.

Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·. With him is abundant redemption.

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

He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
