Psalmowo 130

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

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

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

Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.

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, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

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

But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.

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

I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word 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 waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait 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, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.

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

It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
