Psalmowo 140

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, ɖem tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me eye dzɔ ŋunye le ŋutsu ŋutasẽlawo ta,

To victorie, the salm of Dauith. Lord, delyuere thou me fro an yuel man; delyuere thou me fro a wickid man.

2 ame siwo ɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖiwo ɖe woƒe dzi me, eye wodoa aʋa gbe sia gbe.

Whiche thouyten wickidnesses in the herte; al dai thei ordeyneden batels.

3 Wonyre woƒe aɖewo wole ɖaɖam abe da tɔ ene, eye da ƒe aɖi le woƒe nuyiwo ŋu. (Sela)

Thei scharpiden her tungis as serpentis; the venym of snakis vndir the lippis of hem.

4 O! Yehowa, ɖem tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me, dzɔ nye agbe ŋu le ŋutsu ŋutasẽlawo ta, ame siwo ɖo be woaɖe afɔ le tenye.

Lord, kepe thou me fro the hond of the synnere; and delyuere thou me fro wickid men. Which thouyten to disseyue my goyngis;

5 Dada tre mɔ da ɖe ɣaɣlaƒe nam, woɖo ɖɔ, keke eme da ɖi nam eye wotre azãwo da ɖe nye toƒe. (Sela)

proude men hidden a snare to me. And thei leiden forth cordis in to a snare; thei settiden sclaundir to me bisidis the weie.

6 O! Yehowa, megblɔ na wò be, “Wòe nye nye Mawu.” See, o Yehowa, se nye nublanuiɣli.

I seide to the Lord, Thou art mi God; Lord, here thou the vois of my biseching.

7 O! Aƒetɔ Yehowa, nye Ɖela sesẽ, ame si ɖɔ gakuku nam le aʋakpegbe.

Lord, Lord, the vertu of myn heelthe; thou madist schadowe on myn heed in the dai of batel.

8 O! Yehowa, mègana ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe didi nava eme na wo o, eye mègana woƒe ɖoɖowo nadze edzi na wo o, ne menye nenema o la, woanɔ dadam. (Sela)

Lord, bitake thou not me fro my desire to the synnere; thei thouyten ayens me, forsake thou not me, lest perauenture thei ben enhaunsid.

9 Na fukpekpe si ame siwo ɖe to ɖem ƒe nuyiwo he vɛ la, nanye tsyɔ woƒe ta dzi.

The heed of the cumpas of hem; the trauel of her lippis schal hile hem.

10 Na dzoka xɔxɔwo nadza ɖe wo dzi; wonetsɔ wo ƒu gbe ɖe dzo me kple ʋe globowo me, eye womegafɔ akpɔ gbeɖe o.

Colis schulen falle on hem, thou schalt caste hem doun in to fier; in wretchidnessis thei schulen not stonde.

11 Ŋutsu ameŋugblẽlawo megali ke ɖe anyigba dzi o, eye gbegblẽ neva ŋutsu ŋutasẽlawo dzi.

A man a greet ianglere schal not be dressid in erthe; yuels schulen take an vniust man in perisching.

12 Menya be Yehowa tsoa afia na ame dahewo, eye wòxɔa nya ɖe hiãtɔwo nu.

I haue knowe, that the Lord schal make dom of a nedi man; and the veniaunce of pore men.

13 Ame dzɔdzɔewo akafu wò ŋkɔ vavã, eye dzi dzɔdzɔetɔwo anɔ ŋkuwò me ɖaa.

Netheles iust men schulen knouleche to thi name; and riytful men schulen dwelle with thi cheer.
