Psalmowo 146

1 Mikafu Yehowa. O! luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

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 while I have any being.

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, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there 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.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

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

Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, 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 that [is] in them: who keepeth truth for ever:

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed: who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth 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 openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

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

The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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 will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
