Psalmowo 32
1 David ƒe nufiameha. Woayra ame si wotsɔ eƒe dzidadawo kee, eye wotsyɔ nu eƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi.
David’s An Instructive Psalm. How happy is he whose transgression is forgiven! whose sin is pardoned!
2 Woayra ŋutsu si Aƒetɔ la meɖe vodada na o, eye alakpa mele eƒe gbɔgbɔ me o.
How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit 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 became worn out, Through my groaning all the day;
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, heavy upon me, was thy hand, —Changed was my life-sap 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)
My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive 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 cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain, —Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach.
7 Wòe nye nye bebeƒe, àɖem tso xaxa me, eye àtsɔ ɖeɖe ƒe aseyetsohawo aƒo xlãm. (Sela)
Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me, —With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. (Selah)
8 Mafia nu wò, eye mafia mɔ si nàto la wò. Maxlɔ̃ nu wò, eye makpɔ tawò.
I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.
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 ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, —With the bit and bridle of his mouth, [hast thou] to restrain him, —He will not come near 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 pains, hath the lawless one, —But, he that trusteth in Yahweh, Lovingkindness, shall compass him about.
11 Mikpɔ dzidzɔ, eye mitso aseye ɖe Yehowa ŋu, mi ame dzɔdzɔewo; midzi ha, mi ame siwo katã ƒe dzi le dzɔdzɔe!
Rejoice in Yahweh and exult, O ye righteous, Yea, shout in triumph, all ye upright in heart!
