Psalmowo 37
1 David ƒe ha. Mègadzo nyanyanya le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ta, alo aʋã ŋu nu tovo wɔlawo o
ElikaDavida. Ungazikhathazi ngabantu ababi loba uhawukele labo abenza okungalunganga;
2 elabena esusɔ vie woayrɔ abe gbe ene, eye abe gbe mumu ene la, woaku wo atsɔ aƒu gbe.
ngoba bazabuna masinyane njengotshani, njengezimila eziluhlaza bazakufa masinyane.
3 Ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye nàwɔ nyui; nɔ anyigba la dzi, eye nàɖu eƒe nu nyuiwo le dziɖeɖi me.
Themba kuThixo wenze okulungileyo; hlala elizweni ukholise amadlelo amahle.
4 Yehowa ƒe nu nenyo ŋuwò ekema ana nu siwo wò dzi di la wò.
Zithokozise kuThixo Yena uzakupha izifiso zenhliziyo yakho.
5 Tsɔ wò mɔwo gblẽ ɖe Yehowa ƒe asi me; ɖo dzi ɖe eŋu, eye awɔ esia na wò.
Nikela indlela zakho kuThixo; themba kuye, Yena uzakwenzela lokhu:
6 Ana wò dzɔdzɔenyenye nàdze abe ŋdikekeli ene, eye wò dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔ abe ŋdɔkutsuɣe ene.
Uzakwenza ukulunga kwakho kukhazimule njengentathakusa, ubuqotho balokho okulwelayo njengelanga lemini enkulu.
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.
Chuma phambi kukaThixo umlindele ngesineke; ungakhathazeki nxa abantu bephumelela ngezindlela zabo, nxa bephutshisa amaqhinga abo amabi.
8 Ɖe asi le dziku ŋu, eye nàtrɔ megbe de wò dɔmedzoe, ŋɔ megadzi wò o, elabena nu vɔ̃ɖi me ko wòakplɔ wò ayii.
Xwayana lokuzonda njalo ufulathele intukuthelo; ungakhathazeki, kukhokhelela ebubini kuphela.
9 Woatsrɔ̃ ame vlowo gake ame siwo tsɔ woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ de Yehowa me la, anyi anyigba la ƒe dome.
Ngoba abantu ababi bazasuswa, kodwa labo abathemba uThixo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe.
10 Esusɔ vie ko ame vɔ̃ɖi la maganɔ anyi o, togbɔ be àdi wo hã la, màkpɔ wo o.
Kuseyisikhatshana nje, ababi bazabe bengasekho; loba usubadinga kabasayikufunyanwa.
11 Ke ame fafawo anyi anyigba la ƒe dome, eye dzi adzɔ wo le ŋutifafa gbogbo la ta.
Kodwa abathobekileyo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe njalo bakholise ukuthula okukhulu.
12 Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ɖo nugbe ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu heɖu aɖukli ɖe wo ŋuti.
Ababi baceba ukulimaza abalungileyo babagedlele amazinyo;
13 Ke Aƒetɔ la le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kom, elabena enya be woƒe ŋkeke la gbɔna.
kodwa iNkosi iyabahleka ababi, ngoba iyazi ukuthi usuku lwabo luyeza.
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.
Ababi bakhokha inkemba, badonsa idandili ngenhloso yokulimaza abahluphekayo labaswelayo, lokubulala labo abahamba ngokulunga.
15 Gake woƒe yiwo aŋɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe dziwo, eye woƒe datiwo aŋe.
Kodwa izinkemba zabo zizagwaza ezabo inhliziyo, lamadandili abo azakwephulwa.
16 Nu ʋɛ si le ame dzɔdzɔewo si la nyo wu kesinɔnu gbogbo siwo le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo si,
Kungcono ingcosana leyo abalayo abalungileyo kulenotho yababi abanengi;
17 elabena woaŋe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe ŋusẽ, ke Yehowa alé ame dzɔdzɔewo ɖe te.
ngoba amandla ababi azaqedwa, kodwa uThixo uyabaxhasa abalungileyo.
18 Ame siwo ŋuti fɔɖiɖi mele o la ƒe ŋkekewo le nyanya na Yehowa, eye woƒe domenyinu anɔ anyi tegbetegbe.
Insuku zabangelasici ziyaziwa nguThixo, ilifa labo lizakuma lanini.
19 Le ŋkeke vɔ̃wo dzi la, womalũ xɛ o; le dɔŋɔli la, nuɖuɖu ado agbogbo na woawo ya.
Ngezikhathi zomonakalo abayikubuna; ngezikhathi zendlala bazasutha.
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.
Kodwa ababi bazabhubha; izitha zikaThixo zinjengobuhle beganga, zizanyamalala, zinyamalale njengentuthu.
21 Ame vɔ̃ɖi doa nugbana, eye mexea fea o, ke ame dzɔdzɔe ya naa nu faa.
Ababi bayaboleka kodwa kababuyiseli, kodwa abalungileyo bayapha kakhulu;
22 Ame siwo Yehowa yra la anyi anyigba la ƒe dome, ke ame siwo wòƒo fi de la, woaɖe wo ɖa.
labo uThixo ababusisayo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe; kodwa labo abathukayo bazasuswa.
23 Ŋutsu si ƒe mɔwo dze Yehowa ŋu la, elia ke eƒe afɔɖeɖewo;
Nxa uThixo ethokoziswa yikuhamba komuntu, uyaqinisa izinyathelo zakhe;
24 ne ekli nu hã la, madze anyi o elabena Yehowa tsɔ eƒe asi lée ɖe te.
loba angakhubeka, kayikuwa, ngoba uThixo uyamsekela ngesandla sakhe.
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.
Ngangimutsha, manje sengiluphele, kodwa angizange ngibone abalungileyo bedelwa loba abantwababo becela isinkwa.
26 Woawo boŋ vea ame nu ɣe sia ɣi, eye wodoa nugbana na amewo faa; eya ta wo viwo axɔ yayra.
Bayaphana kokuphela njalo bayebolekana nje; abantwababo bazabusiswa.
27 Tsri nu vɔ̃ɖi, eye nàwɔ nyui ekema ànɔ anyigba dzi tegbetegbe.
Phendukani ebubini lenze ukulunga lapho-ke lizahlala elizweni nini lanini.
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.
Ngoba uThixo uthanda abalungileyo njalo kayikubadela abathembekileyo bakhe. Bazavikelwa kuze kube nini lanini kodwa inzalo yababi izalahlwa;
29 Ame dzɔdzɔe anyi anyigba la ƒe dome, eye wòanɔ edzi tegbee.
abalungileyo bazazuza ilifa lelizwe bahlale kulo lanini.
30 Nunyanya doa go tso ame dzɔdzɔe ƒe nu me, eye eƒe aɖe gblɔa nu si le eteƒe.
Umlomo womuntu olungileyo ukhuluma ukuhlakanipha, lolimi lwakhe lukhuluma okuqondileyo.
31 Eƒe Mawu ƒe se le eƒe dzi me, eya ta eƒe afɔ meɖiɖina o.
Umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakhe usenhliziyweni yakhe; inyawo zakhe kazitsheleli.
32 Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo de xa ɖi na ame dzɔdzɔewo, eye wole woƒe ku dim;
Ababi bacathamela abalungileyo befuna impilo yabo qobo lwayo;
33 gake Yehowa matsɔ wo agblẽ ɖe woƒe ŋusẽ te, alo wòaɖe mɔ be, woabu fɔ wo ne wokplɔ wo va ʋɔnui o.
kodwa uThixo kayikubayekela bazenzele abakuthandayo kubo kumbe balahlwe licala nxa bethonisiswa.
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.
Lindelani uThixo ligcine indlela yakhe. Uzaliphakamisa lilithathe ilifa lelizwe; lizakubona lokhu nxa ababi sebesusiwe.
35 Mekpɔ ame vɔ̃ɖi, ŋutasẽla aɖe wòda ama nyuie abe ati dama si dzɔ kple anyigba la ene.
Sengike ngabona umuntu omubi olesihluku kulokubhadala ehluma njengesihlahla, esikhula kuhle emhlabathini waso wemvelo,
36 Gake eteƒe medidi o ko, enu va yi, eye megali o; togbɔ be medii hã la, nyemeke ɖe eŋuti o.
kodwa waphanga wafa kabe esabakhona; ngathi loba sengimdinga ngamswela.
37 Bu ame maɖifɔ la ŋu, eye nàlé ŋku ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu, elabena ŋgɔgbe li na ŋutifafamewo katã.
Nanzelela abangelecala, qaphela abaqotho. Likhona ikusasa kumuntu wokuthula.
38 Ke woatsrɔ̃ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo katã, eye woaɖe ame vɔ̃ɖi la ɖa.
Kodwa zonke izoni zizabhujiswa; ikusasa lezigangi lizasuswa.
39 Ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe xɔxɔ atso Yehowa gbɔ, eye eyae nye woƒe mɔ sesẽ le xaxaɣeyiɣiwo me.
Ukusindiswa kwabalungileyo kuvela kuThixo; uyinqaba yabo ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka.
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.
UThixo uyabasiza abakhulule; abakhulule kwababi abasindise, ngoba baphephela kuye.
