Psalmowo 146

1 Mikafu Yehowa. O! luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa.

My soul, praise the Lord.

2 Makafu Yehowa le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me. Madzi kafukafuha na nye Mawu la, zi ale si mele agbe.

I will praise the Lord, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.

3 Migaɖo dzi ɖe dziɖulawo ŋu o, eye migaka ɖe amegbetɔ kodzogbea, si mate ŋu axɔ na ame o la dzi o.

Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.

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.

When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.

5 Woayra ame si ƒe xɔnametɔ nye Yakob ƒe Mawu la, eye eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la me.

Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,

6 Eya ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba, atsiaƒu kple nu siwo katã le eme, Yehowa nye nuteƒewɔla tegbetegbe.

the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.

7 Etsoa afia na ame siwo wote ɖe anyi, eye wònaa nuɖuɖu dɔwuitɔwo. Yehowae naa ablɔɖe gamenɔlawo.

For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases the prisoners.

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 sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves the righteous.

9 Yehowa kpɔa amedzrowo ta, eye wònye tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo hã ta kpɔla. Ke etɔtɔa ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe mɔwo.

The Lord preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.

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 forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah.
