< Psalmowo 32 >
1 David ƒe nufiameha. Woayra ame si wotsɔ eƒe dzidadawo kee, eye wotsyɔ nu eƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi.
Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!
2 Woayra ŋutsu si Aƒetɔ la meɖe vodada na o, eye alakpa mele eƒe gbɔgbɔ me o.
Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 Esi mezi ɖoɖoe la, nye ŋeŋe atraɖii ŋkeke blibo la katã na nye ƒuwo nyunyɔ.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the 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 thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
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 acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
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 shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.
7 Wòe nye nye bebeƒe, àɖem tso xaxa me, eye àtsɔ ɖeɖe ƒe aseyetsohawo aƒo xlãm. (Sela)
Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 Mafia nu wò, eye mafia mɔ si nàto la wò. Maxlɔ̃ nu wò, eye makpɔ tawò.
I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee.
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.
Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.
10 Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kpea fu geɖe, ke Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ƒoa xlã ame siwo ɖoa dzi ɖe eŋu la.
Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.
11 Mikpɔ dzidzɔ, eye mitso aseye ɖe Yehowa ŋu, mi ame dzɔdzɔewo; midzi ha, mi ame siwo katã ƒe dzi le dzɔdzɔe!
Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.
