Psalmowo 41
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woayra ame si tsɔ ɖe le eme na ame dahewo, Yehowa aɖee le xaxaɣi.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.
2 Yehowa adzɔ eŋu, eye wòakpɔ eƒe agbe ta. Yehowa ayrae le anyigba dzi, eye matsɔe ade asi na eƒe futɔwo ƒe didi o.
The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.
3 Yehowa anɔ kplii le dɔba dzi, eye wòana lãmesesẽe, afɔe tso dɔba dzi.
The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.
4 Megblɔ be, “O! Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui nam, yɔ dɔm, elabena mewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋuwò.”
I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
5 Nye futɔwo le gbɔgblɔm tso ŋunye fewuɖutɔe be, “Ɣe ka ɣi gɔ̃e wòle kuku ge ne eƒe ŋkɔ natsrɔ̃?”
My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
6 Ne ame aɖe ɖi tsa va be yeakpɔm ɖa la, edaa alakpa, eƒe dzi ƒoa ameŋugblẽnyawo nu ƒu, eye wòdoa go yina kakanɛ.
My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.
7 Nye futɔwo katã le dalĩ dom le ŋutinye, eye wole nu vɔ̃ɖiwo susum tso ŋutinye le gbɔgblɔm be,
All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:
8 “Dɔléle vɔ̃ɖi aɖe dze edzi, magatso le afi si wòmlɔ la akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”
9 Xɔ̃nye si tsi metoa nye kplii dome o, ame si dzi meka ɖo, eye wòɖua nu kplim la kɔ eƒe afɔkpodzi dzi ɖe ŋutinye.
Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10 O! Yehowa, ke wò ya kpɔ nye nublanui, kɔm ɖe dzi be maɖo teƒe na wo.
But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 Menya be èkpɔ ŋudzedze le ŋutinye, elabena nye ketɔ meɖu dzinye o.
By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 Le nye nuteƒewɔwɔ ta la, èlém ɖe asi, eye nètsɔm ɖo wò ŋkume tegbetegbe.
In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.
13 Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
