< Psalmowo 146 >
1 Mikafu Yehowa. O! luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa.
Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.
2 Makafu Yehowa le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me. Madzi kafukafuha na nye Mawu la, zi ale si mele agbe.
While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3 Migaɖo dzi ɖe dziɖulawo ŋu o, eye migaka ɖe amegbetɔ kodzogbea, si mate ŋu axɔ na ame o la dzi o.
Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.
4 Ne woƒe gbɔgbɔ do go le wo me la, wogatrɔna zua kewɔ, gbe ma gbe ke woƒe ɖoɖo siwo katã wowɔ la zua tofloko.
His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
5 Woayra ame si ƒe xɔnametɔ nye Yakob ƒe Mawu la, eye eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la me.
Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 Eya ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba, atsiaƒu kple nu siwo katã le eme, Yehowa nye nuteƒewɔla tegbetegbe.
who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:
7 Etsoa afia na ame siwo wote ɖe anyi, eye wònaa nuɖuɖu dɔwuitɔwo. Yehowae naa ablɔɖe gamenɔlawo.
who executes judgement for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:
8 Yehowa ʋua ŋku na ŋkuagbãtɔwo, Yehowa fɔa ame siwo wote ɖe anyi la ɖe dzi, Yehowa lɔ̃a ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe nya.
the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;
9 Yehowa kpɔa amedzrowo ta, eye wònye tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo hã ta kpɔla. Ke etɔtɔa ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe mɔwo.
he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
10 Yehowa le fia ɖum tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me. O! Zion, wò Mawu la aɖu fia le dzidzimewo katã me. Mikafu Yehowa.
The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
