Psalmowo 17
1 David ƒe gbedodoɖa. See, O! Yehowa, ɖo to nye ɣlidodo kple nye dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe kukuɖeɖe. Ƒu to anyi ɖe nye gbedodoɖa si metso alakpanuyiwo me o.
Umkhuleko kaDavida. Zwana, Oh Thixo, ukuncenga kwami okulungileyo; lalela ukukhala kwami. Zwana umkhuleko wami, kawusuki ezindebeni ezikhohlisayo.
2 Afiatsotso nam netso gbɔwò, eye na wò ŋkuwo nakpɔ nu si le dzɔdzɔe.
Ukugezwa kwami ecaleni kakuvele kuwe; sengathi amehlo Akho angabona lokho okuqondileyo.
3 Togbɔ be èdzro nye dzi me eye nèlé ŋku ɖe ŋunye tsitotsito le zã me; ne èdom kpɔ hã la, màkpɔ naneke le menye o. Meɖoe kplikpaa be nye nu mawɔ nu vɔ̃ o.
Udungulule inhliziyo yami wangihlola ebusuku wangilinga, kawuyikufumana lutho olubi engiluhlelileyo; sengizimisele ukuthi umlomo wami ungenzi sono.
4 Le amegbetɔwo ƒe nuwɔnawo me la, metsɔ wò numenya kpɔ ɖokuinye dzii be, nyemage ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe mɔwo dzi o.
Mayelana lezenzo zabantu, mina ngizazithiba ezindleleni zobudlwangudlwangu ngelizwi lezindebe zakho.
5 Nye afɔɖeɖewo li ɖe wò toƒewo, eye nye afɔ meɖiɖi o.
Izinyathelo zami zalela ezindleleni zakho; inyawo zami kazizange zitshelele.
6 Mele yɔwòm, O! Mawu, elabena àtɔ nam; ƒu to anyi ɖe ŋunye, eye nàse nye gbedodoɖa.
Ngikhala kuwe, Oh Nkulunkulu ngoba uzangiphendula; ngilalela uzwe umkhuleko wami.
7 Ɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ gã la ƒe nukunu fia, wò ame si tsɔa wò nuɖusi ɖea ame siwo si wò tso, tso woƒe futɔwo ƒe asi me.
Tshengisa ukumangalisa kothando lwakho olukhulu, wena osindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, labo ababalekela kuwe ezitheni zabo.
8 Kpɔ tanye abe wò ŋku ƒe gadaglamakui ene, eye nàɣlam ɖe wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te,
Ngilondoloza njengegugu lakho; ngifihla emthunzini wamaphiko akho
9 ɖem tso ame vɔ̃ɖi siwo le funyafunya wɔmem kple futɔ siwo ɖe to ɖem la ƒe asi me.
kwababi abangihlaselayo, ezitheni zami ezimbi ezingihanqileyo.
10 Wotu woƒe ŋutasẽdziwo, eye wotsɔa woƒe nuwo gblɔa dadanyawoe.
Bagcika inhliziyo zabo ezingelazwelo, lemilomo yabo ikhuluma iqholoza.
11 Wodo afɔ nam, eye azɔ la, woɖe to ɖem, woƒe ŋkuwo le te ne woaxlãm ɖe anyigba.
Sebeze bangithola, manje sebengihanqile bangiqhuzulele amehlo bafuna ukungilahla phansi.
12 Wole abe dzata dɔwui si le nu dim be yealé, hele adeklo dzi le avekɔe me ene.
Banjengesilwane silambele loba yini esingayidumela, njengesilwane esesabekayo siquthile sicatshile.
13 O! Yehowa, tso, kpe akɔ kpli wo, he wo ƒu anyi, eye tsɔ wò yi nàɖem le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me.
Phakama, Oh Thixo, basukele, balahle phansi; ngilamulela kwababi ngenkemba yakho.
14 O! Yehowa, tsɔ wò asi ɖem le ame siawo tɔgbi kple xexemetɔ siawo ƒe asi me, ame siwo ƒe fetu le agbe sia me. Ètsia ame siwo nèlɔ̃ vevie la ƒe dɔwuame nu; wo viŋutsuwo kpɔ nu nyui geɖe, eye wodzraa kesinɔnuwo ɖo ɖi na wo viwo.
Oh Thixo, ngisindisa ngesandla sakho ebantwini abanjalo, ebantwini bakulumhlaba omvuzo wabo ukuyonale impilo. Udedisa iphango lalabo obathandayo; amadodana abo akhomba ngophakathi; baqoqela abantwababo inotho.
15 Ke nye la, makpɔ wò ŋkume le dzɔdzɔenyenye me, eye ne menyɔ hekpɔ wò nɔnɔme ko la, maɖi ƒo.
Mina-ke ngenxa yokulunga ngizabubona ubuso bakho; ngizakuthi ekuvukeni kwami nganeliswe yikubona isimo sakho.
