Psalmowo 25
1 David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, wòe mekɔ nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 O! Nye Mawu, ŋuwòe meɖo dzi ɖo. Mègana ŋu nakpem, alo nàɖe mɔ nye futɔwo naɖu dzinye o.
in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
3 Ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò la, ŋu makpee akpɔ gbeɖe o; gake ŋu akpe ame siwo nye vivimenuwɔlawo.
Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.
4 O! Yehowa, fia wò mɔwo kple wò toƒewom,
Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.
5 kplɔm le wò nyateƒe la me, eye nàfia num, elabena wòe nye nye Mawu kple nye Ɖela, eye nye mɔkpɔkpɔ le mewò ŋkeke blibo la katã.
Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.
6 O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku wò lɔlɔ̃ kple wò nublanuikpɔkpɔ sɔgbɔ la dzi, elabena woli tso blema ke.
Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.
7 O! Yehowa, mègaɖo ŋku nye ɖekakpuimenu vɔ̃wo kple nye aglãdzemɔwo dzi o; ke boŋ ɖo ŋku dzinye le wò lɔlɔ̃ la ta, elabena nyuiwɔwɔ le mewò.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.
8 Yehowa nyo, eye wòwɔa nu dzɔdzɔe, eya ta efiaa eƒe mɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
9 Ekplɔa ɖokuibɔbɔlawo to nu dzɔdzɔe wɔwɔ me, eye wòfiaa eƒe mɔ wo.
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.
10 Yehowa ƒe mɔwo katã nye lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ na ame siwo léa eƒe nubablamenyawo ɖe asi.
All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.
11 O! Yehowa, togbɔ be nye dzidada sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe hã la, tsɔ wo kem le wò ŋkɔ la ta.
For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Ekema ame kawoe nye ŋutsu ma siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa? Afia nu wo le mɔ si woato la dzi.
Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
13 Woakpɔ dzidzedze le woƒe agbemeŋkekewo me, eye woƒe dzidzimeviwo anyi anyigba la ƒe dome.
His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 Yehowa gblɔa nya ɣaɣlawo na ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, eye wòɖea eƒe nubabla fiaa wo.
The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
15 Nye ŋkuwo le Yehowa ŋu ɖaa, elabena eya koe aɖe nye afɔ le mɔ me.
My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
16 Trɔ ɖe ŋunye ne nàve nunye, elabena metsi akogo, eye hiã tum.
Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 Nye dzi ƒe nuxaxawo do gã ɖe edzi, na vovom tso nye vevesesewo me.
The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
18 Nye kɔ nàkpɔ nye nuxaxa kple nye vevesese ɖa, eye nàɖe nye nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖa.
Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
19 Kpɔ ale si nye futɔwo dzi ɖe edzii ɖa, eye nàkpɔ ale si wolé fum ɖikaɖikae ɖa!
Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.
20 Kpɔ nye agbe ta, eye nàɖem; megana ŋu nakpem o, elabena mewòe mebe ɖo.
Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
21 Nuteƒewɔwɔ kple dzɔdzɔenyenye nedzɔ ŋunye, elabena nye mɔkpɔkpɔ le mewò.
May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.
22 O! Mawu, ɖe Israel tso woƒe xaxawo katã me.
Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
