Psalmowo 25
1 David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, wòe mekɔ nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
2 O! Nye Mawu, ŋuwòe meɖo dzi ɖo. Mègana ŋu nakpem, alo nàɖe mɔ nye futɔwo naɖu dzinye o.
My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò la, ŋu makpee akpɔ gbeɖe o; gake ŋu akpe ame siwo nye vivimenuwɔlawo.
Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
4 O! Yehowa, fia wò mɔwo kple wò toƒewom,
Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy 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.
Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6 O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku wò lɔlɔ̃ kple wò nublanuikpɔkpɔ sɔgbɔ la dzi, elabena woli tso blema ke.
Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
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 transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.
8 Yehowa nyo, eye wòwɔa nu dzɔdzɔe, eya ta efiaa eƒe mɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:
9 Ekplɔa ɖokuibɔbɔlawo to nu dzɔdzɔe wɔwɔ me, eye wòfiaa eƒe mɔ wo.
The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.
10 Yehowa ƒe mɔwo katã nye lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ na ame siwo léa eƒe nubablamenyawo ɖe asi.
All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 O! Yehowa, togbɔ be nye dzidada sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe hã la, tsɔ wo kem le wò ŋkɔ la ta.
For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 Ekema ame kawoe nye ŋutsu ma siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa? Afia nu wo le mɔ si woato la dzi.
What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose.
13 Woakpɔ dzidzedze le woƒe agbemeŋkekewo me, eye woƒe dzidzimeviwo anyi anyigba la ƒe dome.
His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 Yehowa gblɔa nya ɣaɣlawo na ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, eye wòɖea eƒe nubabla fiaa wo.
The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.
15 Nye ŋkuwo le Yehowa ŋu ɖaa, elabena eya koe aɖe nye afɔ le mɔ me.
Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.
16 Trɔ ɖe ŋunye ne nàve nunye, elabena metsi akogo, eye hiã tum.
Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
17 Nye dzi ƒe nuxaxawo do gã ɖe edzi, na vovom tso nye vevesesewo me.
The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;
18 Nye kɔ nàkpɔ nye nuxaxa kple nye vevesese ɖa, eye nàɖe nye nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖa.
Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
19 Kpɔ ale si nye futɔwo dzi ɖe edzii ɖa, eye nàkpɔ ale si wolé fum ɖikaɖikae ɖa!
Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me [with] cruel hatred.
20 Kpɔ nye agbe ta, eye nàɖem; megana ŋu nakpem o, elabena mewòe mebe ɖo.
Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.
21 Nuteƒewɔwɔ kple dzɔdzɔenyenye nedzɔ ŋunye, elabena nye mɔkpɔkpɔ le mewò.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22 O! Mawu, ɖe Israel tso woƒe xaxawo katã me.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
