Psalmowo 139
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, èdzro menye, eye nènyam.
O lord, you have searched me, and known me.
2 Ènya nye anyinɔnɔ kple nye tsitretsitsi, eye nènya nye susuwo tso adzɔge ke.
You know my sitting down and my rising up, you understand my thought afar off.
3 Ènya nye godoɣi kple nye anyimlɔɣi, ale nènya nye mɔwo katã nyuie.
You compass my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 O! Yehowa, hafi nya aɖe nava nye aɖe dzi la, ènya nya la katã xoxo.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, see, O LORD, you know it altogether.
5 Ètsɔm ɖe tome, le megbe kple ŋgɔ siaa, eye nèɖo wò asi dzinye.
You have beset me behind and before, and laid your hand on me.
6 Nunya sia wɔ nuku nam akpa, nyemate ŋu aɖo afi ma o, elabena ekɔkɔ nam akpa.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain to it.
7 Afi ka madzo le wò Gbɔgbɔ la gbɔ ayi? Afi ka masi atso wò ŋkume ayi?
Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Ne medzo yi yame le fɔŋli ƒe aʋalawo dzi, ne meyi ɖanɔ atsiaƒu ƒe mlɔenu ke hã la,
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 wò asi akplɔm, eye wò nuɖusi além ɖe asi sesĩe.
Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11 Ne megblɔ be, “Vavã, viviti la ana maɣla, eye kekeli azu zã aƒo xlãm” la,
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 viviti la gɔ̃ hã mado blukɔ na wò o, zã aklẽ na wò abe ŋkeke ene, elabena viviti le na wò abe kekeli ene.
Yes, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.
13 Elabena wòe wɔ nye ememe ke; eye nèlém ƒo ƒu ɖe danye ƒe dɔ me.
For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 Mekafu wò, elabena èwɔm ŋɔdzitɔe kple nukutɔe. Wò dɔwɔwɔwo nye nukunu, menya esia nyuie.
I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.
15 Nye ameti blibo la, mele ɣaɣla ɖe wò o, esi nèwɔm le ɣaɣlaƒe. Esi wolɔ̃m ɖe wo nɔewo me le anyigba ƒe gogloƒe la,
My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously worked in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 wò ŋkuwo kpɔ ale si menye ʋukɔe. Ŋkeke siwo katã woɖo nam la, woŋlɔ wo ɖe wò agbalẽ me hafi ŋkeke gbãtɔ dze egɔme.
Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 O! Mawu, wò susuwo xɔ asi nam ŋutɔ! Wò susuwo sɔ gbɔ loo!
How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 Ne mebe maxlẽ wo la, woasɔ gbɔ wu ke. Ne menyɔ tso alɔ̃ me la, megale gbɔwò ko.
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.
19 O! Mawu, negbe ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo hafi! Mite ɖa le gbɔnye, mi hlɔ̃dolawo!
Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
20 Woƒoa nu tso ŋutiwò kple susu baɖa, wò futɔwo wɔa wò ŋkɔ ŋu dɔ yakayaka.
For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
21 O! Yehowa, ɖe nyemelé fu ame siwo lé fu wò, eye menyɔ ŋu ame siwo tso ɖe ŋuwò oa?
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?
22 Fuléle koe le asinye na wo, eye mebu wo nye ketɔwoe.
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.
23 Dzro menye, o Mawu, eye nànya nye dzi; dom kpɔ, eye nànya nye susu si tsi dzodzodzoe.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 Kpɔe ɖa be mɔtatra aɖe le menye hã, eye nàkplɔm to mɔ mavɔtɔ la dzi.
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
