Psalmowo 31
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, mewòe mebe ɖo; mègana ŋu nakpem akpɔ gbeɖe o; ɖem le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye la ta.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be ashamed for all time, In Your righteousness deliver me.
2 Ƒu to anyi ɖe ŋunye, va kaba nàɖem, nànye nye xɔxɔ ƒe agakpe kple mɔ sesẽ ne nàɖem.
Incline Your ear to me quickly, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
3 Le wò ŋkɔ la ta, kplɔm, eye nàfia mɔm, elabena wòe nye nye agakpe kple mɔ sesẽ.
For You [are] my rock and my bulwark, For Your Name’s sake lead me and tend me.
4 Ɖem le mɔ si woɖo ɖi nam la me, elabena wòe nye nye mɔ sesẽ.
Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For You [are] my strength.
5 Asiwò me metsɔ nye gbɔgbɔ de, eya ta Yehowa, nyateƒe ƒe Mawu, va nàɖem.
Into Your hand I commit my spirit, You have redeemed me, YHWH God of truth.
6 Metsri ame siwo ku ɖe legba maɖinuwo ŋu; ke nye la meku ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I have been confident toward YHWH.
7 Makpɔ dzidzɔ, eye matso aseye le wò lɔlɔ̃ la me, elabena èkpɔ nye hiã henya nye luʋɔ ƒe nuxaxa.
I rejoice, and am glad in Your kindness, In that You have seen my affliction, You have known my soul in adversities.
8 Mètsɔm de asi na nye futɔ o, ke boŋ èɖo nye afɔ gbadzaƒe.
And You have not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, You have caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
9 O! Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui nam, elabena nye dzi ʋu dzo, nuxaxa na nye ŋkuwo dzi wɔ dɔ̃ɔ, eye konyifafa na nye luʋɔ kple ŋutilã gbɔdzɔ.
Favor me, O YHWH, for distress [is] to me, My eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
10 Vevesese sɔŋ yɔ nye agbe me, eye ŋeŋe xɔ nye agbenɔƒewo me. Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye le nye fukpekpewo ta, eye nye ƒuwo hã nyunyɔ ɖe lãme nam.
For my life has been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. My strength has been feeble because of my iniquity, And my bones have become old.
11 Le nye futɔwo ƒe nuwɔnawo ta mezu alɔmeɖenu na nye aƒelikawo vevie ŋutɔ. Mezu ŋɔdzinu na xɔ̃nyewo, eye ame siwo do gom le mɔtata dzi la sina le nunye.
I have been a reproach among all my adversaries, And to my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to my acquaintances, Those seeing me without—fled from me.
12 Woŋlɔm be abe ɖe meku xoxo ene, ale mezu ze gbagbã.
I have been forgotten as dead, out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
13 Mese ame geɖewo ƒe ameŋugblẽnyawo; ŋɔdzi ɖe to ɖem, wode adaŋu tso ŋunye, eye woɖo nugbe be yewoaɖe nye agbe ɖa.
For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] all around. In their being united against me, They have devised to take my life,
14 Ke wò, Yehowa, dzie meka ɖo; megblɔ be, “Wòe nye nye Mawu.”
And I have trusted on You, O YHWH, I have said, “You [are] my God.”
15 Nye ɣeyiɣiwo le asiwò me; ɖem tso nye futɔwo kple ame siwo le yonyeme tim la ƒe asi me.
In Your hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
16 Na wò mo naklẽ ɖe wò dɔla dzi, ɖem le wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ta.
Cause Your face to shine on Your servant, Save me in Your kindness.
17 O! Yehowa, mègana ŋu nakpem o, elabena wòe medo ɣli na; ke na ŋu nakpe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, eye ɖoɖoe nazi le wo nu le yɔme. (Sheol h7585)
O YHWH, do not let me be ashamed, For I have called You, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 De ga nu na woƒe alakpanuyiwo, elabena wotsɔa dada kple ɖekematsɔleme gblɔa nya vlo ɖe ame dzɔdzɔe ŋu.
Let lips of falsehood become mute, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
19 Wò nu nyui siwo nèdzra ɖo ɖi na ame siwo vɔ̃a wò la lolo ŋutɔ. Nu nyui siwo nèkɔ ɖe ame siwo si wò tso dzi le amewo ƒe ŋkume la lolo.
How abundant is Your goodness, That You have laid up for those fearing You, You have worked for those trusting in You, Before sons of men.
20 Èɣla wo ɖe ɣaɣlaƒe si le gbɔwò, tso amewo ƒe ayemenuwo gbɔ. Èɣla wo ɖe nɔwòƒe be woanɔ dedie tso aɖeɖiƒoame gbɔ.
You hide them in the secret place of Your presence, From schemes of man, You conceal them in a dwelling place, From the strife of tongues.
21 Woakafu Yehowa, elabena eɖe eƒe nukulɔlɔ̃ la fiam le esime mele du si ŋu woƒu kpo ɖo la me.
Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has made His kindness marvelous To me in a city of bulwarks.
22 Megblɔ le nye dzikatsoƒo me be: “Woɖem ɖa le wò ŋkume azɔ!” Ke hã la, èse nye nublanuiɣlidodo esi meyɔ wò be nàxɔ nam.
And I have said in my haste, “I have been cut off from before Your eyes,” But You have heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You.
23 Milɔ̃ Yehowa, mi eƒe ame kɔkɔewo! Yehowa kpɔa nuteƒewɔlawo ta, ke eɖoa eteƒe na dadalawo wòsɔa gbɔ dea woƒe nuwɔnawo nu.
Love YHWH, all you His saints, YHWH is keeping the faithful, And repaying a proud doer abundantly.
24 Misẽ ŋu, eye milé dzi ɖe ƒo, mi ame siwo katã tsɔ miaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ de Yehowa me.
Be strong, and He strengthens your heart, All you who are waiting for YHWH!
