< Psalmowo 5 >

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii kple kpẽ. O! Yehowa, ɖo to nye nyawo, eye nàse nye hũɖeɖe.
For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
2 Fianye kple Mawunye, ɖo to nye ɣlidodo, elabena wòe mele gbe dom ɖa na.
Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.
3 O! Yehowa, le ŋdi me la, àse nye gbe; le ŋdi me la, matsɔ nye biabiawo aɖo ŋkuwò me, eye manɔ lalam kple mɔkpɔkpɔ.
In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.
4 Menye Mawu si kpɔa dzidzɔ le vɔ̃ ŋutie nènye o; wò la, ame vɔ̃ɖiwo mate ŋu anɔ gbɔwò o.
For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.
5 Ɖokuiŋudzelawo mate ŋu atsi tsitre ɖe ŋkuwò me o; elabena èlé fu nu vlo wɔlawo katã.
Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
6 Ètsrɔ̃ aʋatsokalawo; Yehowa tsri hlɔ̃dolawo kple ameblelawo.
You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
7 Ke nye ya, mava wò aƒe me to wò nublanuikpɔkpɔ gã la me. Matsɔ bubu ade ta agu ɖe wò gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la ŋgɔ.
But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear toward your holy temple.
8 Kplɔm, O! Yehowa, le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye nu le nye futɔwo ta, eye wɔ wò mɔwo dzɔdzɔe le ŋkunye me.
Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before your face.
9 Womate ŋu axɔ nya siwo doa go tso woƒe nu me la ɖeka pɛ hã dzi ase o, woƒe dzi yɔ fũu kple gbegblẽ. Woƒe ve me le abe yɔdo si le ʋuʋu ɖi la ene, eye wotsɔa woƒe aɖe gblɔa alakpanyawoe.
For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
10 O! Mawu, bu fɔ wo! Na be woƒe ayemɔwo naƒu wo anyi. Ɖe wo ɖa le woƒe nu vɔ̃ gbogboawo ta, elabena wodze aglã ɖe ŋuwò.
Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.
11 Ke na ame siwo si wò tso la nakpɔ dzidzɔ, eye na be woadzi ha kple dzidzɔ tegbee. Keke wò ametakpɔkpɔ ɖe wo dzi, ale be ame siwo lɔ̃ wò ŋkɔ la natso aseye le mewò.
But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell among them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.
12 O! Yehowa, èyraa ame dzɔdzɔewo vavã, eye nètsɔa wò amenuveve ƒoa xlã wo abe akpoxɔnu ene.
For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favor.
