Psalmowo 25
1 David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, wòe mekɔ nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
Unto you, O LORD, 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.
O my God, I trust in you: 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, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
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.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the God of my salvation; on you 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, O LORD, your tender mercies and your loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
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 your mercy remember you me for your goodness' sake, O LORD.
8 Yehowa nyo, eye wòwɔa nu dzɔdzɔe, eya ta efiaa eƒe mɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach 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 the LORD are mercy and truth unto 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 your name's sake, O LORD, 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 fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 Woakpɔ dzidzedze le woƒe agbemeŋkekewo me, eye woƒe dzidzimeviwo anyi anyigba la ƒe dome.
His soul shall dwell at ease; 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 the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
15 Nye ŋkuwo le Yehowa ŋu ɖaa, elabena eya koe aɖe nye afɔ le mɔ me.
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Trɔ ɖe ŋunye ne nàve nunye, elabena metsi akogo, eye hiã tum.
Turn you unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 Nye dzi ƒe nuxaxawo do gã ɖe edzi, na vovom tso nye vevesesewo me.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring you me out of my distresses.
18 Nye kɔ nàkpɔ nye nuxaxa kple nye vevesese ɖa, eye nàɖe nye nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖa.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; 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.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.
21 Nuteƒewɔwɔ kple dzɔdzɔenyenye nedzɔ ŋunye, elabena nye mɔkpɔkpɔ le mewò.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.
22 O! Mawu, ɖe Israel tso woƒe xaxawo katã me.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
