Psalmowo 15

1 David ƒe ha. Yehowa, ame kae dze anɔ wò kɔkɔeƒe la? Ame kae anɔ wò togbɛ kɔkɔe la dzi?

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 Ame si fɔɖiɖi mele eƒe zɔzɔme ŋu o, eye wòwɔa nu dzɔdzɔe lae. Ame si toa nyateƒe tso eƒe dzi me ke

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 eye ameŋugbegblẽ mele aɖe dzi nɛ o, ame si mewɔa vɔ̃ ɖe ehavi ŋu o, eye meƒoa ɖi nɔvia amegbetɔ o,

and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

4 ame si ame baɖa ƒe nu menyoa eŋu o, ke boŋ edea bubu ame siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa la ŋuti, ame si kaa atam si hea vevesese vanɛ, gake megbea edziwɔwɔ o,

[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 ame si medoa ga xɔa deme ɖe edzi o, eye mexɔa zãnu ɖe ame maɖifɔ ŋuti o. Ame si wɔa nu siawo la, naneke maʋãe akpɔ gbeɖegbeɖe o.

They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
