Psalmowo 28
1 David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, nye Agakpe, wò yɔm mele, mègado tokum o. Elabena ne èzi ɖoɖoe la, manɔ abe ame siwo yi aʋlime la ene.
By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.
2 Esi mekɔ nye asiwo dzi ɖo ɖe wò Kɔkɔeƒewo ƒe Kɔkɔƒe la gbɔ la, se nye ɣlidodo na nublanuikpɔkpɔ, ne meyɔ wò be nàxɔ nam.
Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee, In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3 Mègakplɔm kpe ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋu o, ame siwo ƒoa nu kple aƒelikawo fafɛ, gake vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi le woƒe dzi me.
Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.
4 Ɖo eteƒe na wo le woƒe nuwɔnawo kple woƒe dɔwɔwɔ vɔ̃wo ta. Xe fe na wo ɖe nu si woƒe asiwo wɔ la nu, eye nàgbugbɔ tohehe si wodze na la ahe va wo dzii.
Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.
5 Esi womede bubu Yehowa ƒe nuwɔnawo kple eƒe asinudɔwo ŋuti o ta la, àgbã wo aƒu anyi, eye màgbugbɔ wo atu akpɔ gbeɖe o.
For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build them up.
6 Woakafu Yehowa, elabena ese ɣli si dom mele le nublanuikpɔkpɔ biam.
Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7 Yehowae nye nye ŋusẽ kple akpoxɔnu; nye dzi ka ɖe eya amea dzi, eye wòɖem. Nye dzi ti kpo le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ta, eye mada akpe nɛ to hadzidzi me.
Jehovah [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And with my song I thank Him.
8 Yehowae nye eƒe dukɔ ƒe ŋusẽ; ɖeɖe ƒe mɔ sesẽ wònye na eƒe amesiamina.
Jehovah [is] strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.
9 Ɖe wò dukɔ, eye nàyra wò domenyinu; nànye woƒe kplɔla, eye nàkɔ wo ɖe akɔnu tegbetegbe.
Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
