Psalmowo 36
1 David, Yehowa ƒe dɔla, ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Yehowa ƒe gbedeasi aɖe le nye dzi me tso ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ŋuti. Mawuvɔvɔ̃ aɖeke mele woƒe ŋkuwo me o.
[For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the LORD.] Transgression speaks to the wicked within his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Elabena le eya ŋutɔ ŋkume, wòvivi nu me na eɖokui ale gbegbe be mete ŋu kpɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ dze sii alo wòagbe nu le egbɔ o.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
3 Eƒe numenyawo vɔ̃ɖi, henye beble sɔŋ, eye wòdzudzɔ nuwɔwɔ ɖe nunya me kple nu nyui wɔwɔ.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 Eɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖi le eƒe aba dzi, etsɔa eɖokui dea asi na nu si nye vɔ̃, eye megbea nu si nye nu gbegblẽ o.
He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.
5 O! Yehowa, wò lɔlɔ̃ kɔ ɖatɔ dziƒowo ke, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ tɔ dziŋgɔli ke.
Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6 Wò dzɔdzɔenyenye le abe to gãwo ene, eye wò afiatsotso le abe tɔ goglo ene. O! Yehowa, èkpɔa amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ta.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. LORD, you preserve man and animal.
7 Wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la xɔ asi loo! Ame siwo ŋuti bubu le kple ame siwo ŋuti mele o, le amegbetɔviwo dome siaa kpɔa sitsoƒe le wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te.
How precious is your loving kindness, God. The descendants of Adam take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 Wò aƒemenu gbogboawo nye nuɖuɖu na wo, eye nènaa tsi wo wonona tso wò dzidzɔtɔsisi la me.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9 Elabena gbɔwòe agbe ƒe tsitsetse la le, eye wò kekeli mee míekpɔa kekeli le.
For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
10 Yi edzi nàɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ afia ame siwo nya wò, eye nàɖe wò dzɔdzɔenyenye afia ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka.
Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Dadalawo megaɖo afɔ dzinye, alo ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi nanyam o.
Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Kpɔ ale si nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo dze anyi ɖe anyigbae ɖa; wotutu wo ƒu anyi, eye womete ŋu fɔ o!
There evildoers are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
