Psalmowo 37
1 David ƒe ha. Mègadzo nyanyanya le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ta, alo aʋã ŋu nu tovo wɔlawo o
To Dauith. Nile thou sue wickid men; nether loue thou men doynge wickidnesse.
2 elabena esusɔ vie woayrɔ abe gbe ene, eye abe gbe mumu ene la, woaku wo atsɔ aƒu gbe.
For thei schulen wexe drie swiftli as hey; and thei schulen falle doun soone as the wortis of eerbis.
3 Ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye nàwɔ nyui; nɔ anyigba la dzi, eye nàɖu eƒe nu nyuiwo le dziɖeɖi me.
Hope thou in the Lord, and do thou goodnesse; and enhabite thou the lond, and thou schalt be fed with hise richessis.
4 Yehowa ƒe nu nenyo ŋuwò ekema ana nu siwo wò dzi di la wò.
Delite thou in the Lord; and he schal yyue to thee the axyngis of thin herte.
5 Tsɔ wò mɔwo gblẽ ɖe Yehowa ƒe asi me; ɖo dzi ɖe eŋu, eye awɔ esia na wò.
Schewe thi weie to the Lord; and hope thou in hym, and he schal do.
6 Ana wò dzɔdzɔenyenye nàdze abe ŋdikekeli ene, eye wò dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔ abe ŋdɔkutsuɣe ene.
And he schal lede out thi riytfulnesse as liyt, and thi doom as myddai;
7 Zi kpoo le Yehowa ŋkume, eye nànɔ eƒe asinu kpɔm le dzigbɔɖi me. Ne amewo ƒe mɔwo dze edzi na wo, eye wote ŋu wɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo woɖo la, mègavɔ̃ nàdzo nyanyanya o.
be thou suget to the Lord, and preye thou hym. Nile thou sue hym, that hath prosperite in his weie; a man doynge vnriytfulnessis.
8 Ɖe asi le dziku ŋu, eye nàtrɔ megbe de wò dɔmedzoe, ŋɔ megadzi wò o, elabena nu vɔ̃ɖi me ko wòakplɔ wò ayii.
Ceese thou of ire, and forsake woodnesse; nyle thou sue, that thou do wickidli.
9 Woatsrɔ̃ ame vlowo gake ame siwo tsɔ woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ de Yehowa me la, anyi anyigba la ƒe dome.
For thei, that doen wickidli, schulen be distried; but thei that suffren the Lord, schulen enerite the lond.
10 Esusɔ vie ko ame vɔ̃ɖi la maganɔ anyi o, togbɔ be àdi wo hã la, màkpɔ wo o.
And yit a litil, and a synnere schal not be; and thou schalt seke his place, and schalt not fynde.
11 Ke ame fafawo anyi anyigba la ƒe dome, eye dzi adzɔ wo le ŋutifafa gbogbo la ta.
But mylde men schulen enerite the lond; and schulen delite in the multitude of pees.
12 Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ɖo nugbe ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu heɖu aɖukli ɖe wo ŋuti.
A synnere schal aspie a riytful man; and he schal gnaste with hise teeth on hym.
13 Ke Aƒetɔ la le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kom, elabena enya be woƒe ŋkeke la gbɔna.
But the Lord schal scorne the synnere; for he biholdith that his day cometh.
14 Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ɖe woƒe yi, eye wohe woƒe dati me be woada hiãtɔ kple ame dahe aƒu anyi, eye woawu ame siwo ƒe zɔzɔme to mɔ ɖeka.
Synners drowen out swerd; thei benten her bouwe. To disseyue a pore man and nedi; to strangle riytful men of herte.
15 Gake woƒe yiwo aŋɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe dziwo, eye woƒe datiwo aŋe.
Her swerd entre in to the herte of hem silf; and her bouwe be brokun.
16 Nu ʋɛ si le ame dzɔdzɔewo si la nyo wu kesinɔnu gbogbo siwo le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo si,
Betere is a litil thing to a iust man; than many richessis of synneris.
17 elabena woaŋe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe ŋusẽ, ke Yehowa alé ame dzɔdzɔewo ɖe te.
For the armes of synneris schal be al to-brokun; but the Lord confermeth iust men.
18 Ame siwo ŋuti fɔɖiɖi mele o la ƒe ŋkekewo le nyanya na Yehowa, eye woƒe domenyinu anɔ anyi tegbetegbe.
The Lord knowith the daies of vnwemmed; and her heritage schal be withouten ende.
19 Le ŋkeke vɔ̃wo dzi la, womalũ xɛ o; le dɔŋɔli la, nuɖuɖu ado agbogbo na woawo ya.
Thei schulen not be schent in the yuel tyme, and thei schulen be fillid in the dayes of hungur;
20 Ke ame vɔ̃ɖi ya atsrɔ̃. Yehowa ƒe futɔwo anɔ abe gbe ƒe seƒoƒo ene, woanya kpɔ nyuie, gake wo nu ava yi, woabu abe dzudzɔ ene.
for synneris schulen perische. Forsothe anoon as the enemyes of the Lord ben onourid, and enhaunsid; thei failynge schulen faile as smoke.
21 Ame vɔ̃ɖi doa nugbana, eye mexea fea o, ke ame dzɔdzɔe ya naa nu faa.
A synnere schal borewe, and schal not paie; but a iust man hath merci, and schal yyue.
22 Ame siwo Yehowa yra la anyi anyigba la ƒe dome, ke ame siwo wòƒo fi de la, woaɖe wo ɖa.
For thei that blessen the Lord schulen enerite the lond; but thei that cursen hym schulen perische.
23 Ŋutsu si ƒe mɔwo dze Yehowa ŋu la, elia ke eƒe afɔɖeɖewo;
The goyng of a man schal be dressid anentis the Lord; and he schal wilne his weie.
24 ne ekli nu hã la, madze anyi o elabena Yehowa tsɔ eƒe asi lée ɖe te.
Whanne he fallith, he schal not be hurtlid doun; for the Lord vndursettith his hond.
25 Tsã la, menye ɖevi, ke azɔ la metsi, gake womegble ame dzɔdzɔe aɖeke ɖi mekpɔ kpɔ loo, alo wo viwo nabia abolo hafi aɖu o.
I was yongere, and sotheli Y wexide eld, and Y siy not a iust man forsakun; nethir his seed sekynge breed.
26 Woawo boŋ vea ame nu ɣe sia ɣi, eye wodoa nugbana na amewo faa; eya ta wo viwo axɔ yayra.
Al dai he hath merci, and leeneth; and his seed schal be in blessyng.
27 Tsri nu vɔ̃ɖi, eye nàwɔ nyui ekema ànɔ anyigba dzi tegbetegbe.
Bouwe thou awei fro yuel, and do good; and dwelle thou in to the world of world.
28 Elabena Yehowa lɔ̃a nu dzɔdzɔe wɔlawo, eye magblẽ eƒe nuteƒewɔlawo ɖi o. Akpɔ wo ta tegbee, ke ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe dzidzimeviwo ya woatsrɔ̃ wo.
For the Lord loueth doom, and schal not forsake hise seyntis; thei schulen be kept with outen ende. Vniust men schulen be punyschid; and the seed of wickid men schal perische.
29 Ame dzɔdzɔe anyi anyigba la ƒe dome, eye wòanɔ edzi tegbee.
But iust men schulen enerite the lond; and schulen enabite theronne in to the world of world.
30 Nunyanya doa go tso ame dzɔdzɔe ƒe nu me, eye eƒe aɖe gblɔa nu si le eteƒe.
The mouth of a iust man schal bithenke wisdom; and his tunge schal speke doom.
31 Eƒe Mawu ƒe se le eƒe dzi me, eya ta eƒe afɔ meɖiɖina o.
The lawe of his God is in his herte; and hise steppis schulen not be disseyued.
32 Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo de xa ɖi na ame dzɔdzɔewo, eye wole woƒe ku dim;
A synnere biholdith a iust man; and sekith to sle hym.
33 gake Yehowa matsɔ wo agblẽ ɖe woƒe ŋusẽ te, alo wòaɖe mɔ be, woabu fɔ wo ne wokplɔ wo va ʋɔnui o.
But the Lord schal not forsake hym in hise hondis; nethir schal dampne hym, whanne it schal be demed ayens hym.
34 Lala nàkpɔ Yehowa ƒe asinu, eye nàlé eƒe mɔ ɖe asi. Ado wò ɖe dzi be nànyi anyigba la ƒe dome. Ne woatsrɔ̃ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo la, àkpɔ eteƒe.
Abide thou the Lord, and kepe thou his weie, and he schal enhaunse thee, that bi eritage thou take the lond; whanne synneris schulen perische, thou schalt se.
35 Mekpɔ ame vɔ̃ɖi, ŋutasẽla aɖe wòda ama nyuie abe ati dama si dzɔ kple anyigba la ene.
I siy a wickid man enhaunsid aboue; and reisid vp as the cedris of Liban.
36 Gake eteƒe medidi o ko, enu va yi, eye megali o; togbɔ be medii hã la, nyemeke ɖe eŋuti o.
And Y passide, and lo! he was not; Y souyte hym, and his place is not foundun.
37 Bu ame maɖifɔ la ŋu, eye nàlé ŋku ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu, elabena ŋgɔgbe li na ŋutifafamewo katã.
Kepe thou innocence, and se equite; for tho ben relikis to a pesible man.
38 Ke woatsrɔ̃ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo katã, eye woaɖe ame vɔ̃ɖi la ɖa.
Forsothe vniust men schulen perische; the relifs of wickid men schulen perische togidere.
39 Ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe xɔxɔ atso Yehowa gbɔ, eye eyae nye woƒe mɔ sesẽ le xaxaɣeyiɣiwo me.
But the helthe of iust men is of the Lord; and he is her defendere in the tyme of tribulacioun.
40 Ke Yehowa kpena ɖe wo ŋu, eye wòɖea wo tso dzɔgbevɔ̃e me; eɖea wo tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me, eye wòkpena ɖe wo ŋu, elabena eyae wosi tso.
And the Lord schal helpe hem, and schal make hem fre, and he schal delyuere hem fro synneris; and he schal saue hem, for thei hopiden in hym.
