< Psalmowo 19 >

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Dziƒo ɖe Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe go, eye dziŋgɔli le gbeƒã ɖem eƒe asinudɔwo.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Tso ŋkeke yi ŋkeke, wole Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kafum, eye tso zã yi zã, wole eƒe gãnyenye ɖem fia.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 Nuƒoƒo alo gbegbɔgblɔ aɖeke meli si me womese woƒe gbe le o.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Woƒe gbe ɖina le anyigba dzi afi sia afi, eye woƒe nyawo dea xexea me ƒe mlɔenu ke gɔ̃ hã. Etu agbadɔ ɖe dziƒowo na ɣe,
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 eye wòle abe ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃e le go dom tso eƒe agbadɔ me ene. Ele abe duƒula si le dzidzɔ kpɔm be wòalé eƒe mɔ atsɔ ene.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 Ɣe dzena tso dziƒo ƒe go ɖeka dzi, eye wòzɔna yia go kemɛ dzi, naneke meɣla ɖe eƒe dzoxɔxɔ o.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 Yehowa ƒe se la de blibo, enaa agbegbɔgbɔ luʋɔ! Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo le eteƒe, eye wonana bometsilawo dzea nunya.
The law of Yhwh is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of Yhwh is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Yehowa ƒe mɔwo dzɔ, wonana dzi kpɔa dzidzɔ. Yehowa ƒe sewo me kɔ, wonana ame dzea nunya.
The statutes of Yhwh are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of Yhwh is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 Yehowa ƒe sewo me kɔ; wonɔa anyi ɖaa. Yehowa ƒe sewo li ke sesĩe, eye ɖikeke aɖeke mele woƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye ŋu o.
The fear of Yhwh is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of Yhwh are true and righteous altogether.
10 Woxɔ asi wu sika kple sika nyuitɔ; wovivina wu anyitsi kple anyitsi si woɖe le anyito me.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Wò sewo wotsɔ xlɔ̃ nu wò dɔlae, elabena viɖe gã geɖe le wo dzi wɔwɔ me.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Ame kae ate ŋu ade dzesi nu gbegblẽ si wòwɔ? Tsɔ nye vodada siwo metsɔ ɣla la kem.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret sins.
13 Ɖe wò dɔla tso lɔlɔ̃nuwɔwɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃wo hã me; womaɖu dzinye akpɔ o. Ekema mazu fɔɖiɖi manɔŋutɔ, eye ŋutinye akɔ tso vodada gã me.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Na be nye numenyawo kple nye dzi ƒe ŋugbledede nadze ŋuwò, O! Yehowa, nye Agakpe kple nye Xɔnametɔ.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Yhwh, my strength, and my redeemer.
