Psalmowo 15

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

A Psalm by David. Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

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

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

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

he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

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,

in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

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.

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
