Psalmowo 27
1 David ƒe ha. Yehowae nye nye kekeli kple nye ɖeɖe. Ame ka mavɔ̃? Yehowae nye mɔ sesẽ na nye agbe, ame ka adzi ŋɔ nam?
Of David - Yahweh - [is] light my and salvation my from whom? will I be afraid Yahweh [is] [the] refuge of life my from whom? will I be in dread.
2 Ne ame vɔ̃ɖiwo lũ ɖe dzinye be woavuvum, ne nye futɔwo kple nye ketɔwo lũ ɖe dzinye la, woakli nu adze anyi.
When drew near on me - evil-doers to devour flesh my opponents my and enemies my to me they they stumbled and they fell.
3 Togbɔ be aʋakɔ gã aɖe ɖe to ɖem hã la, nye dzi mavɔ̃ o, togbɔ be wodze aʋa ɖe ŋunye hã la, azɔ koŋ dzi aɖo ƒonye.
Though it will encamp on me - a camp not it will fear heart my though it will arise on me warfare in this I [will be] trusting.
4 Nu ɖeka mebia Yehowa, esiae nye be manɔ Yehowa ƒe aƒe me le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me, ne malé ŋku ɖe Yehowa ƒe nyonyo ŋu, eye madii le eƒe gbedoxɔ me.
One [thing] - I have asked from with Yahweh it I will seek to dwell I in [the] house of Yahweh all [the] days of life my to look on [the] kindness of Yahweh and to inquire in temple his.
5 Elabena le xaxaɣiwo la, atsyɔ nu dzinye le eƒe nɔƒe la me; aɣlam ɖe eƒe agbadɔ ƒe bebeƒe, eye wòakɔm aɖo agakpe kɔkɔ aɖe dzi.
For he will conceal me - in refuge his in a day of trouble he will hide me in [the] hiding place of tent his on a rock he will raise up me.
6 Ekema nye ta akɔ dzi agbɔ nye futɔ siwo ƒo xlãm godoo la ta; matsɔ dzidzɔɣli asa vɔ nɛ le eƒe agbadɔ kɔkɔe la me. Madzi ha, eye maƒo saŋku na Yehowa.
And now it will rise head my above enemies my around me and I will sacrifice in tent his sacrifices of a shout of joy I will sing and I will sing praises to Yahweh.
7 O! Yehowa, se nye gbe, ne meyɔ wò; kpɔ nublanui nam, eye nàtɔ nam.
Hear O Yahweh voice my I call out and show favor to me and answer me.
8 Nye dzi le gbɔgblɔm le ŋuwò be, “Di eƒe ŋkume!” Yehowa, wò ŋkumee madi.
Of you - it has said heart my seek face my face your O Yahweh I will seek.
9 Mègaɣla wò ŋkume ɖem o, mègatrɔ wò dɔla ɖo ɖa le dɔmedzoe me o, elabena wòe nye nye xɔnametɔ. O! Mawu, nye Ɖela, mègagbe nu le gbɔnye alo agblem ɖi o.
May not you hide face your - from me may not you turn aside in anger servant your help my you have been may not you abandon me and may not you forsake me O God of salvation my.
10 Togbɔ be tɔnye kple nɔnye gblem ɖi hã la, Yehowa axɔm.
For father my and mother my they have forsaken me and Yahweh he will receive me.
11 O! Yehowa, fia wò mɔwom; kplɔm to mɔ dzɔdzɔe dzi, le ame siwo tem ɖe to la ta.
Teach me O Yahweh way your and lead me in a path of level ground on account of enemies my.
12 Mègatsɔm de asi na nye futɔwo ƒe didi o, elabena alakpaɖasefowo tso ɖe ŋutinye kpe ɖe ame siwo lɔ ŋutasesẽ ƒe gbɔgbɔtsixɛ ɖe ƒo la ŋuti.
May not you give me in [the] desire of opponents my for they have arisen on me witnesses of falsehood and a witness of violence.
13 Esia nye nu si dzi meka ɖo la be: Makpɔ Yehowa ƒe nu nyuiwo le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
If not I had believed to look on [the] goodness of Yahweh in [the] land of living [people].
14 Kpɔ mɔ na Yehowa; sẽ ŋu, eye nàlé dzi ɖe ƒo. Kpɔ mɔ na Yehowa.
Wait to Yahweh be strong so may it show strength heart your and wait to Yahweh.
