Psalmowo 32

1 David ƒe nufiameha. Woayra ame si wotsɔ eƒe dzidadawo kee, eye wotsyɔ nu eƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi.

The understanding of David himself. Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered.

2 Woayra ŋutsu si Aƒetɔ la meɖe vodada na o, eye alakpa mele eƒe gbɔgbɔ me o.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 Esi mezi ɖoɖoe la, nye ŋeŋe atraɖii ŋkeke blibo la katã na nye ƒuwo nyunyɔ.

Because I was silent, my bones grew old, while still I cried out all day long.

4 Elabena wò asi sẽ ɖe dzinye zã kple keli katã, eye ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye abe dzomeŋɔli ƒe dzoxɔxɔ mee mele ene. (Sela)

For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.

5 Tete meɖe nye nu vɔ̃wo fia wò, eye nyemetsyɔ nu nye dzidadawo dzi o. Megblɔ be, “Maʋu nye dzidadawo me na Yehowa”, eye nètsɔ nye nu vɔ̃wo ƒe yomedzenuwo kem. (Sela)

I have acknowledged my offense to you, and I have not concealed my injustice. I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” and you forgave the impiety of my sin.

6 Mawumemewo katã nedo gbe ɖa na wò zi ale si nèli kpli wo, elabena enye nyateƒe be ne tɔsisi gãwo ɖɔ la, womade wo gbɔ o.

For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you in due time. Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, they will not draw near to him.

7 Wòe nye nye bebeƒe, àɖem tso xaxa me, eye àtsɔ ɖeɖe ƒe aseyetsohawo aƒo xlãm. (Sela)

You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.

8 Mafia nu wò, eye mafia mɔ si nàto la wò. Maxlɔ̃ nu wò, eye makpɔ tawò.

I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.

9 Mèganɔ abe sɔ alo tedzisɔ siwo nunya mele tagbɔ na o la ene o, elabena ele be woade ka kple numega nu me na wo hafi amla wo, ne menye nenema o la, womate ŋu ate ɖe ŋuwò o.

Do not become like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding. Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, so as not to draw near to you.

10 Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kpea fu geɖe, ke Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ƒoa xlã ame siwo ɖoa dzi ɖe eŋu la.

Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.

11 Mikpɔ dzidzɔ, eye mitso aseye ɖe Yehowa ŋu, mi ame dzɔdzɔewo; midzi ha, mi ame siwo katã ƒe dzi le dzɔdzɔe!

Rejoice in the Lord and exult, you just ones, and glory, all you upright of heart.
