Psalmowo 22
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la, ne woadzi ɖe “Zinɔ le ŋdi kanyaa” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Nye Mawu, nye Mawu, nu ka ŋuti nègblẽm ɖi? Nu ka ta nèle adzɔge ʋĩi na xɔxɔ nam, eye nète ɖa xaa tso nye hũɖeɖe gbɔ?
“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “The hind of the morning.” A psalm of David.” My God, my God! why hast thou forsaken me? Why so far from mine aid, and from the words of my cry?
2 O! Nye Mawu, medo ɣli na wò le ŋkeke kple zã me; megale edzi ko, gake mètɔ nam o.
O my God! I cry during the day, but thou hearest not; In the night also, but I have no rest.
3 Ke wò la, èle kɔkɔe, eye Israel ƒe kafukafuhawo zu fiazikpui nènɔ anyi ɖe edzi gli.
And yet thou art holy, Dwelling amid the praises of Israel!
4 Mewòe mía fofowo tsɔ woƒe xɔse dee, woka ɖe dziwò, eye nèɖe wo.
Our fathers trusted in thee; They trusted, and thou didst save them.
5 Wodo ɣli na wò, eye nèɖe wo, dziwòe woka ɖo, eye ŋu mekpe wo o.
They called upon thee, and were delivered; They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
6 Ke nye la, ŋɔ menye, menye amegbetɔ o, elabena amewo ɖu fewu le ŋunye, eye wodo vlom.
But I am a worm, and not a man; The reproach of men, and the scorn of the people.
7 Ame siwo katã kpɔm la ɖe alɔme le ŋunye; woflɔa dzu ɖe dzinye, eye woʋuʋua ta ɖe ŋunye gblɔna be:
All who see me scoff at me; They open wide the lips; they shake the head.
8 “Eka ɖe Yehowa dzi, Yehowa neɖee míakpɔ. Yehowa neɖee, elabena eƒe nu nyo eŋu.”
“He trusted in the LORD, let him help him; Let him deliver him, since he delighted in him!”
9 Ke wòe hem tso vidzidɔ me, eye le danye ƒe no nu ke, èna meka ɖe dziwò.
Surely thou art he that didst bring me into the world; Thou didst make me lie secure upon my mother's breast!
10 Wòe nye nye Mawu tso danye ƒe dɔ me ke, eye tso ɖevime wotsɔm de asi na wò.
Upon thee have I cast myself from my birth; Thou hast been my God from my earliest breath!
11 Mèganɔ adzɔge tso gbɔnye o, elabena xaxa tum, eye ame aɖeke meli axɔ nam o.
Oh, be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help!
12 Nyitsu geɖewo ɖe to ɖem; Basan nyitsu sesẽwo ƒo xlãm.
Many bulls surround me; Strong bulls of Bashan close me in on every side.
13 Woke woƒe nuwo ɖe ŋunye baa abe dzata si le gbe tem hele nu si wòlé la vuvum ene.
They open their mouths wide against me, Like a ravening and roaring lion.
14 Woƒom ɖe anyi abe tsi ene, eye nye ƒuwo katã gli le woƒe kpeƒewo. Nye dzi lolõ ɖe dɔ me nam gbanaa hesi to menye.
I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is become like wax; It melteth in my bosom.
15 Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye abe ze gbagbã ene, eye nye aɖe lé ɖe nye nu me, elabena ètsɔm mlɔ ku ƒe ʋuʋudedi me.
My strength is dried up like an earthen vessel, And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; Thou hast brought me to the dust of death!
16 Avuwo ƒo xlãm, ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe ha ɖe to ɖem, eye wotsɔ nu ŋɔ nye asiwo kple afɔwo.
For dogs have surrounded me; Bands of evil-doers have encompassed me, —Like lions my hands and my feet.
17 Mate ŋu axlẽ nye ƒuwo, amewo fɔ ŋku ɖe dzinye, eye wokpɔ dzidzɔ le nye anyidzedze ŋuti.
I can count all my bones; They gaze, and feast their eyes upon me.
18 Woma nye awuwo na wo nɔewo, eye woda akɔ ɖe nye awu ʋlaya dzi.
They divide my garments among them, And for my vesture they cast lots.
19 Ke wò, O! Yehowa, mèganɔ adzɔge o; O! Nye ŋusẽ, va kaba nàɖem.
But be not thou far from me, O LORD! O my strength! make haste to mine aid!
20 Ɖe nye agbe tso yi ƒe asi me, eye ɖe nye agbe xɔasi la tso avuwo ƒe ŋusẽ me.
Deliver my life from the sword; My blood from the power of the dog;
21 Ɖem le dzatawo ƒe nu me, eye nàɖem le towo ƒe dzowo nu.
Save me from the lion's mouth; Shield me from the horns of the buffaloes!
22 Maɖe gbeƒã wò ŋkɔ na nɔvinyewo, eye le amehawo dome, makafu wò.
I will proclaim thy name to my brethren; In the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 Mi ame siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa, mikafui! Mi, Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo, mide bubu eŋuti! Misroe ɖa, mi Israel ƒe dzidzimeviwo!
Praise him, ye worshippers of Jehovah! Extol him, all ye race of Jacob. And fear him, all ye race of Israel!
24 Elabena menyɔ ŋu alo do vlo ame siwo le fu kpem la ƒe hiãtuame o; meɣla eƒe mo ɖee o, ke boŋ eɖo to eƒe ɣlidodo na kpekpeɖeŋu.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the misery of the afflicted. Nor hath he hid his face from him; But when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 Gbɔwòe nye kafukafuha si medzina le ameha gãwo dome la ƒe tanya tsona. Maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo le ame siwo vɔ̃a wò la ŋkume.
My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him!
26 Hiãtɔwo aɖu nu aɖi ƒo; ame siwo dia Yehowa la akafui. Miaƒe dziwo nenɔ agbe tegbee!
The afflicted shall eat, and be satisfied; They that seek the LORD shall praise him; Your hearts shall be glad for ever and ever!
27 Anyigba ƒe mlɔenu katã hã aɖo ŋku edzi, atrɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye anyigbadzidukɔwo ƒe ƒomeawo katã ava de ta agu ɖe eŋkume.
All the ends of the earth shall remember, and turn to Jehovah; All the families of the nations shall worship before thee!
28 Elabena fiaɖuɖu la nye Yehowa tɔ, eye wòɖu fia ɖe dukɔwo dzi.
For the kingdom is Jehovah's; He is the governor of the nations.
29 Kesinɔtɔ siwo katã le anyigba dzi la aɖu nu, eye woasubɔe; ame siwo katã mate ŋu anɔ agbe o, eye woyi ɖe ke ƒe tume la adze klo ɖe eŋkume.
All the rich of the earth shall eat and worship; Before him shall they also bow, who are going down to the dust, Who cannot keep themselves alive.
30 Dzidzimewo asubɔe, eye dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ la, woagblɔ nya na wo tso Aƒetɔ la ŋuti.
The future generation shall serve him; The race which is to come shall hear of Jehovah.
31 Woaɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye na ame siwo meva dzɔ haɖe o, elabena eyae wɔe.
They shall come, and declare his righteousness; His mighty deeds to the people that shall be born.
