Psalmowo 141
1 David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, mele yɔwòm, va gbɔnye kaba. Se nye gbe, ne meyɔ wò.
A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, I have called You, hurry to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to You.
2 Nye gbedodoɖa neva gbɔwò abe dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ ene, eye na be nye asi siwo medo ɖe dzi la, nanɔ na wò abe fiẽvɔsa ene.
My prayer is prepared—incense before You, The lifting up of my hands—the evening present.
3 O! Yehowa, ɖo dzɔla nye nu ŋu, eye nɔ ŋudzɔ ɖe nye nuyi ƒe ʋɔtru ŋu.
Set, O YHWH, a watch for my mouth, Watch over the door of my lips.
4 Mègana be woahe nye dzi ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi ŋuti, be mayi gome kpɔ ge le nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ me kple ŋutsu, nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo o, eye mègaɖe mɔ be maɖu woƒe nuɖuɖu viviwo o.
Do not incline my heart to an evil thing, To habitually do actions in wickedness, Working iniquity with men, Indeed, I do not eat of their pleasant things.
5 Na ame dzɔdzɔe naƒom, enye dɔmenyo wòwɔ nam, na wòaka mo nam, enye ami wòsi ɖe ta nam. Nye ta magbe exɔxɔ o. Gake nye gbedodoɖa tsia tsitre ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe wɔnawo ŋu ɖaa,
The righteous beat me [in] kindness. And reprove me, My head does not disallow oil of the head, For my prayer [is] still about their distress.
6 woatutu woƒe dziɖulawo tso togbɛwo dzi aƒu agame, eye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo anya be megblɔ nye nyawo memie ɖe eteƒe.
Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
7 Woagblɔ be, “Abe ale si ame ŋlɔa nu hedzoboa anyigbae ene la, nenemae woakaka míaƒe ƒuwoe ɖe yɔdowo nu.” (Sheol h7585)
As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)
8 O! Aƒetɔ Yehowa, meda nye ŋkuwo ɖe dziwò, mewòe mebe ɖo, mègatsɔm na ku o.
But to You, O YHWH, my Lord, [are] my eyes, In You I have trusted, Do not make my soul bare.
9 Ɖem le mɔ siwo wotre nam la me, tso mɔkli si nu tovo wɔlawo ɖo ɖi la me.
Keep me from the trap they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
10 Na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo naɖo woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ɖɔwo me, ne matso eme ayi le dedinɔnɔ me.
The wicked fall in their dragnets together, until I pass over!
