Psalmowo 42
1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Ale si zinɔ ƒe ve me ƒunae ɖe tɔʋuwo ŋu la, O! Mawu, nenemae nye luʋɔ le diwòm.
To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 Tsikɔ le nye luʋɔ wum ɖe Mawu ŋu, ɖe Mawu gbagbe la ŋu. Ɣe ka ɣi mayi aɖado go Mawu?
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3 Nye aɖatsiwo zu nuɖuɖu nam zã kple keli, evɔ amewo le gbɔgblɔm nam ŋkeke blibo la be, “Afi ka wò Mawu la le?”
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God?
4 Nu siawo dzi meɖo ŋkue esi meyi ɖokuinye me. Tsã la, nyee kplɔa amehawo; menɔa ŋgɔ kplɔa wo yina ɖe gbedoxɔ me, eye dzidzɔɣli kple kafukafuhawo dea dzi le ŋkekenyuiɖulawo dome kɔtɔɔ.
When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5 O! Nye luʋɔ, nu ka ŋuti nèle nu xam? Nu ka ta nètsi dzodzodzoe le menye ɖo? Tsɔ wò mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe Mawu dzi, elabena magakafui, eya ame si nye nye Ɖela kple nye Mawu.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the help of his countenance.
6 Nye luʋɔ le nu xam le menye, eya ta maɖo ŋku dziwò le Yɔdanyigba dzi, le Hermon tame ke kple Mizar to dzi.
O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7 Tɔ goglo yɔa tɔ goglo le wò tsitsetsewo ƒe howɔwɔ me; wò tsitsotsoewo kple tsi kpakawo ŋe tsyiɔ dzinye.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8 Le ŋkeke me la, Yehowa ɖoa eƒe lɔlɔ̃ ɖem, le zã me la eƒe ha nɔa nunyeme, eye wònyea gbedodoɖa na nye agbe ƒe Mawu la.
[Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer unto the God of my life.
9 Megblɔ na Mawu, nye Agakpe la be, “Nu ka ta nèŋlɔm be ɖo? Nu ka ta manɔ yiyim, anɔ nu xam le nye futɔwo ƒe teteɖeanyi ta ɖo?”
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 Nye ƒuwo le veve sem, eye nye ketɔwo le alɔme ɖem le ŋunye, le gbɔgblɔm nam ŋkeke blibo la be, “Afi ka wò Mawu la le?”
[As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God?
11 O! Nye luʋɔ, nu ka ta nèle nu xam ɖo? Nu ka ta nètsi dzodzodzoe le menye ɖo? Tsɔ wò mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe Mawu dzi, elabena magakafui, eya ame si nye nye Ɖela kple nye Mawu.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
