Psalmowo 5
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii kple kpẽ. O! Yehowa, ɖo to nye nyawo, eye nàse nye hũɖeɖe.
“To the chief musician upon Nechiloth, a psalm of David.” To my words give ear, O Lord, have regard to my mediation.
2 Fianye kple Mawunye, ɖo to nye ɣlidodo, elabena wòe mele gbe dom ɖa na.
Listen unto the voice of my loud cry, my King, and my God, when unto thee 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.
O Lord! in the morning do thou hear my voice: in the morning will I set in order [my prayer] before thee, and 1ook up with hope.
4 Menye Mawu si kpɔa dzidzɔ le vɔ̃ ŋutie nènye o; wò la, ame vɔ̃ɖiwo mate ŋu anɔ gbɔwò o.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil cannot abide with thee.
5 Ɖokuiŋudzelawo mate ŋu atsi tsitre ɖe ŋkuwò me o; elabena èlé fu nu vlo wɔlawo katã.
The arrogant cannot stand up before thy eyes: thou hatest all workers of wickedness.
6 Ètsrɔ̃ aʋatsokalawo; Yehowa tsri hlɔ̃dolawo kple ameblelawo.
Thou wilt destroy those that speak lies: the man of blood and deceit the Lord abhorreth.
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 as for me—in the abundance of thy kindness will I enter thy house: I will bow myself down before thy holy temple in the fear of thee.
8 Kplɔm, O! Yehowa, le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye nu le nye futɔwo ta, eye wɔ wò mɔwo dzɔdzɔe le ŋkunye me.
O Lord, lead me in thy righteousness because of those that regard me enviously; make straight before me thy way.
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 not in their mouth any sincerity; their inward part is full of deception; an open sepulchre is their throat: they flatter with their tongue.
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.
Condemn them, O God: let them fall through their own counsels; for the multitude of their transgressions cast them down; for they have rebelled against thee.
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.
Then will rejoice all those that put their trust in thee; for ever will they shout for joy, when thou protectest them: and then will exult in thee those that love thy name.
12 O! Yehowa, èyraa ame dzɔdzɔewo vavã, eye nètsɔa wò amenuveve ƒoa xlã wo abe akpoxɔnu ene.
For thou wilt bless the righteous, O Lord; as with a shield wilt thou encompass him with favor.
