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.

May Adonai answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob [Supplanter] set you up on high,

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

send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking],

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

remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

May He grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your 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 your yishu'ah ·salvation·. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Adonai grant all your requests.

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 Adonai saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the yesha' ·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 trust the name of Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh 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 rise up, and stand upright.

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

Save, Adonai! Let the King answer us when we call!
