Psalmowo 20

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Yehowa netɔ na wò ne èɖo xaxa me; Yakob ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ nanye ŋuwòdzɔla.

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high,

2 Neɖo kpekpeɖeŋu ɖe wò tso kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wòaɖo xɔname ɖe wò tso Zion.

send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion,

3 Neɖo ŋku wò vɔsawo katã dzi, eye wòaxɔ wò numevɔsawo. (Sela)

remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice (Selah)

4 Nena nu si wò dzi di la wò, eye wòana wò ɖoɖowo katã nadze edzi na wò.

grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

5 Míado dzidzɔɣli ne èɖu dzi, eye míakɔ míaƒe aflagawo dzi le míaƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ me. Yehowa awɔ nu siwo katã nèbiae la na wò.

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. Jehovah fulfill all thy petitions.

6 Azɔ menya be Yehowa ɖe eƒe amesiamina, etɔ nɛ tso eƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔe la kple eƒe nuɖusi ƒe ŋusẽ, si wòtsɔna ɖea amee.

Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Ame aɖewo ɖoa ŋu ɖe tasiaɖamwo ŋu, eye ame aɖewo ɖoa dzi ɖe sɔwo ŋu, ke míawo ya míeɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ ŋu.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

8 Ame mawo la, wodzea klo, eye wodzea anyi, ke míawo ya, míenɔa tsitre, eye míedzɔna kã.

They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 O! Yehowa, xɔ na fia la! Tɔ na mí ne míeyɔ wò!

Save, Jehovah! Let the King answer us when we call.
