Psalmowo 21
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, fia la le dzidzɔ kpɔm le wò ŋusẽ me. Ale gbegbe wòle aseye tsom le dziɖuɖu gã siwo nènae la ta!
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!
2 Ètsɔ nu si eƒe dzi di la nɛ, eye nèwɔ nu siwo wòtsɔ eƒe nu bia la dzi nɛ. (Sela)
Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Ètsɔ yayra xɔasi geɖewo do dza nɛ, eye nètsɔ fiakuku si wowɔ kple sika nyuitɔ la ɖɔ nɛ.
For thou diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.
4 Ebia agbe wò, eye nènae hedidi eƒe ŋkekewo tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.
He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.
5 Eƒe ŋkɔxɔxɔ de du to dziɖuɖu siwo nènae la me. Ètsɔ atsyɔ̃ kple bubu kɔ ɖe eya amea dzi.
His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.
6 Vavã ènae yayra si nu meyina o, eye nèna dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple aseyetsotsoe le ŋkuwò me.
For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.
7 Elabena fia la ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye le Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o ta la, mavɔ̃ akpɔ gbeɖe o.
Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.
8 Wò asi alé wò futɔwo katã, eye wò nuɖusi atu wò ketɔwo.
Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee.
9 Ne wò vavaɣi ɖo la, àwɔ wo abe kpodzo bibi ene. Yehowa ami wo le eƒe dɔmedzoe me, eye eƒe dzo afia wo katã.
Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.
10 Àtsrɔ̃ woƒe dzidzimeviwo ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye àtsrɔ̃ woƒe nunɔamesiwo ɖa le amegbetɔwo dome.
Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.
11 Togbɔ be wole vɔ̃ ɖom ɖe ŋuwò, eye wowɔ ɖoɖowo be woasẽ ŋuta le ŋuwò hã la, madze edzi na wo o,
For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.
12 elabena ne èdidi wò aŋutrɔ ɖe wo dzi la, woatrɔ ʋu me ade wò adzo.
Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.
13 Ède ŋgɔ, O! Yehowa, le wò ŋusẽ me; eya ta míadzi ha, eye míakafu wò ŋusẽ.
Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.
