Psalmowo 52
1 David ƒe nufiameha na hɛnɔ la. Ekpa ha sia esi Edomtɔ, Doeg yi ɖagblɔ na Saul be, “David yi ɖe Ahimelek ƒe aƒe me.” Nu ka ta nètsɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi le adegbe ƒom, wò kalẽtɔ? Nu ka wɔ nèle adegbe ƒom ŋkeke blibo la, wò ame si nye ŋunyɔnu le Mawu ƒe ŋkume?
“To the chief musician, a Maskil of David, When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Achimelech.” What vauntest thou thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? the kindness of God endureth all the time.
2 Wò aɖe le gbegblẽ ɖom; èle abe hɛ ɖaɖɛ ene, wò alakpatɔ.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs, like a sharpened razor, thou worker of deceit.
3 Èlɔ̃ vɔ̃ wu nyui, èlɔ̃ alakpa wu nyateƒetoto. (Sela)
Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
4 O! Wò alakpaɖe, èlɔ̃ nya gbegblẽwo sɔŋ ko!
Thou lovest all words of destruction, the tongue of deceit.
5 Vavã, Mawu hã aƒu wò anyi ɖe gbegblẽ mavɔ me. Mawu ahe wò ado goe tso wò agbadɔ me, aho wò kple ke tso agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi. (Sela)
[Therefore] God will also destroy thee for ever: he will take thee away, and pluck thee out of his tent, and root thee out of the land of life. (Selah)
6 Ame dzɔdzɔewo akpɔe, eye woavɔ̃; woakoe ahagblɔ be,
And the righteous shall see it, and they will be afraid, and laugh concerning him:
7 “Kpɔ ɖa, ŋutsu si metsɔ Mawu wɔ eƒe mɔ sesẽ o, ke boŋ wòtsɔ eƒe dzi ɖo eƒe kesinɔnu gbogboawo ŋu, eye wòkpɔ ŋusẽ hegblẽ ame bubuwo dome lae nye esi!”
“Lo, this is the man that made not God his fortress; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, relied proudly on his mischievous wickedness.”
8 Ke nye la, mele abe amiti si le tsetsem le Mawu ƒe aƒe me la ene. Meɖo dzi ɖe Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ŋu tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
But I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the kindness of God for ever and ever.
9 Makafu wò tegbee le nu si nèwɔ la ta; matsɔ nye mɔkpɔkpɔ ade wò ŋkɔ me, elabena wò ŋkɔ nyo. Makafu wò le wò ame kɔkɔewo ŋkume.
I will thank thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for [it is] good, before thy pious ones.
