< Psalmowo 16 >
1 David ƒe ha si wɔa dɔ ɖe ame dzi. O! Mawu, na manɔ dedie, elabena wò mee mebe ɖo.
Imikithamu kaDavida. Ngilondoloza, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngiphephela kuwe.
2 Megblɔ na Yehowa be, “Wòe nye nye Aƒetɔ; nu nyui aɖeke mele asinye kpe ɖe ŋuwò o.”
Ngathi kuThixo, “UnguThixo wami; ngaphandle kwakho angilakho okuhle.”
3 Ame kɔkɔe siwo le anyigba dzi la woe nye bubume siwo ƒe nu nyoa ŋunye vevie.
Labo abangcwele abakhona elizweni bangabakhazimulayo engithokoza ngabo.
4 Ame siwo ati mawu tutɔwo yome la, adzi woƒe vevesesewo ɖe edzi. Nyemasa woƒe ʋuvɔsawo na mawu mawo, alo ayɔ woƒe ŋkɔwo o.
Labo abagijimela abanye onkulunkulu inhlupho zabo zizakwanda. Angiyi kuyithulula iminikelo yegazi kubonkulunkulu labo njalo amabizo abo kawayikuphuma kwezami izindebe.
5 Yehowa, èɖo tɔnye gome kple nye kplu da ɖi nam; èna nye gomekpɔkpɔ le dedie nam.
Thixo, usungahlukanisele isabelo sami kanye lenkezo yami; konke okwami usukumise kuhle.
6 Liƒo ƒe dzidzeka la dze teƒe nyuiwo nam; le nyateƒe me la, domenyinu si do dzidzɔ nam la su asinye.
Imingcele yesabelo sami idabula ezindaweni ezibukekayo; ngeqiniso elami ilifa liyathokozisa.
7 Makafu Yehowa, ame si ɖoa aɖaŋu nam; le zã me ke hã, nye dzi xlɔ̃a num.
Ngizamdumisa uThixo, onguye ongelulekayo; lasebusuku inhliziyo yami iyangiqondisa.
8 Metsɔ Yehowa ɖo ŋkunye me ɖaa, elabena ele nye nuɖusime, eya ta nyemavɔ̃ o.
Ngikhangele kuThixo kokuphela. Njengoba esesandleni sami sokunene angiyi kunyikinywa.
9 Esia ta nye dzi le dzidzɔ kpɔm, nye aɖe tso aseye, eye nye ŋutilã hã agbɔ ɖe eme le dedinɔnɔ me,
Ngakho-ke inhliziyo yami iyathokoza lolimi lwami luyajabula; lomzimba wami uzaphumula uvikelekile,
10 elabena màgblẽm ɖi na yɔdo alo ana wò, Kɔkɔetɔ la, nàkpɔ gbegblẽ o. (Sheol )
ngoba kawuzukungiyekela ngize ngiye endaweni yabafileyo, njalo kawusoze wekele othembekileyo wakho ezwe ukubola. (Sheol )
11 Èna menya agbemɔ la; àtsɔ dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ayɔ menye le ŋkuwò me, eye matsɔ vivisese si mevɔna o la anɔ wò nuɖusime tegbee.
Usungazisile indlela yempilo; uzangigcwalisa ngokuthaba phambi kwakho, ngenjabulo engapheliyo kwesokunene sakho.
