Psalmowo 139
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, èdzro menye, eye nènyam.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.
2 Ènya nye anyinɔnɔ kple nye tsitretsitsi, eye nènya nye susuwo tso adzɔge ke.
Thou — Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.
3 Ènya nye godoɣi kple nye anyimlɔɣi, ale nènya nye mɔwo katã nyuie.
My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And [with] all my ways hast been acquainted.
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, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!
5 Ètsɔm ɖe tome, le megbe kple ŋgɔ siaa, eye nèɖo wò asi dzinye.
Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.
6 Nunya sia wɔ nuku nam akpa, nyemate ŋu aɖo afi ma o, elabena ekɔkɔ nam akpa.
Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.
7 Afi ka madzo le wò Gbɔgbɔ la gbɔ ayi? Afi ka masi atso wò ŋkume ayi?
Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?
If I ascend the heavens — there Thou [art], And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee! (Sheol h7585)
9 Ne medzo yi yame le fɔŋli ƒe aʋalawo dzi, ne meyi ɖanɔ atsiaƒu ƒe mlɔenu ke hã la,
I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
10 wò asi akplɔm, eye wò nuɖusi além ɖe asi sesĩe.
Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.
11 Ne megblɔ be, “Vavã, viviti la ana maɣla, eye kekeli azu zã aƒo xlãm” la,
And I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night [is] light to 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.
Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as [is] darkness so [is] light.
13 Elabena wòe wɔ nye ememe ke; eye nèlém ƒo ƒu ɖe danye ƒe dɔ me.
For Thou — Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.
14 Mekafu wò, elabena èwɔm ŋɔdzitɔe kple nukutɔe. Wò dɔwɔwɔwo nye nukunu, menya esia nyuie.
I confess Thee, because that [with] wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful [are] Thy works, And my soul is knowing [it] 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 Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of 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.
Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed — And not one among them.
17 O! Mawu, wò susuwo xɔ asi nam ŋutɔ! Wò susuwo sɔ gbɔ loo!
And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!
18 Ne mebe maxlẽ wo la, woasɔ gbɔ wu ke. Ne menyɔ tso alɔ̃ me la, megale gbɔwò ko.
I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.
19 O! Mawu, negbe ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo hafi! Mite ɖa le gbɔnye, mi hlɔ̃dolawo!
Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
20 Woƒoa nu tso ŋutiwò kple susu baɖa, wò futɔwo wɔa wò ŋkɔ ŋu dɔ yakayaka.
Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity [are] Thine enemies.
21 O! Yehowa, ɖe nyemelé fu ame siwo lé fu wò, eye menyɔ ŋu ame siwo tso ɖe ŋuwò oa?
Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?
22 Fuléle koe le asinye na wo, eye mebu wo nye ketɔwoe.
[With] perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.
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 a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!
