Psalmowo 55
1 David ƒe nufiameha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. O! Mawu, ɖo to nye gbedodoɖa, mègado toku nye kokoƒoƒo o.
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David to give instruction. Heare my prayer, O God, and hide not thy selfe from my supplication.
2 Ɖo tom, eye nàtɔ nam. Nye tamesusuwo ɖea fu nam, eye metɔtɔna,
Hearken vnto me, and answere me: I mourne in my prayer, and make a noyse,
3 ne mese futɔ la ƒe gbe, alo ne ame vɔ̃ɖi la tro ŋku ɖem. Elabena wohe fukpekpe va dzinye, eye wogblɔa nya vɔ̃wo ɖe ŋunye le woƒe dɔmedzoe me.
For the voyce of the enemie, and for the vexation of ye wicked, because they haue brought iniquitie vpon me, and furiously hate me.
4 Nye dzi le nu xam vevie le menye; ku ƒe ŋɔdzi ɖe to ɖem.
Mine heart trembleth within mee, and the terrours of death are fallen vpon me.
5 Vɔvɔ̃ kple dzodzo nyanyanya lém, eye ŋɔdzi gbagba blam.
Feare and trembling are come vpon mee, and an horrible feare hath couered me.
6 Megblɔ be, “O! Ɖe wònye aʋala le asinye abe ahɔnɛ ene la, anye ne madzo aɖadzudzɔ le teƒe aɖe.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a doue: then would I flie away and rest.
7 Madzo ayi keke gbegbe, aɖanɔ afi ma. (Sela)
Beholde, I woulde take my flight farre off, and lodge in the wildernes. (Selah)
8 Maɖe abla ayi ɖe nye bebeƒe, ate ɖe aga tso ya sesẽwo kple ahom gbɔ.”
Hee would make haste for my deliuerance from the stormie winde and tempest.
9 O! Aƒetɔ, tɔtɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, tɔtɔ woƒe nyagbɔgblɔwo, elabena mekpɔ ŋutasesẽ kple ʋunyaʋunya le dua me.
Destroy, O Lord, and deuide their tongues: for I haue seene crueltie and strife in the citie.
10 Zã kple keli wole tatam le eƒe gliwo dzi, eye nugbeɖoɖo kple hiãkame le eme.
Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: both iniquitie and mischiefe are in the middes of it.
11 Ŋusẽ siwo gblẽa nu la le dɔ wɔm le dua me; ŋutasesẽ kple alakpadada medzona le eƒe ablɔ dzi o.
Wickednes is in the middes thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streetes.
12 Ne futɔe le dzu yem la, mate ŋu atsɔe; ne ketɔe kɔ eɖokui ɖe dzi ɖe ŋunye la, mate ŋu aɣla ɖee,
Surely mine enemie did not defame mee: for I could haue borne it: neither did mine aduersarie exalt himselfe against mee: for I would haue hid me from him.
13 gake wò, ŋutsu abe nye ene, xɔ̃nye vevi kple nye kpeɖeŋutɔ,
But it was thou, O man, euen my companion, my guide and my familiar:
14 nye kple ame si dome habɔbɔ vivi aɖe nɔ, eye míezɔna aduadu le amehawo dome le gbedoxɔ me lae.
Which delited in consulting together, and went into the House of God as companions.
15 Ku neƒo ɖe nye ketɔwo dzi kpoyi; woneyi yɔdo me agbagbe, elabena nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ xɔ aƒe ɖe wo dome. (Sheol h7585)
Let death sense vpon them: let them goe downe quicke into the graue: for wickednes is in their dwellings, euen in the middes of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ke meyɔ Mawu, eye wòtɔ nam, heɖem.
But I will call vnto God, and the Lord will saue me.
17 Fiẽ, ŋdi kple ŋdɔ medo ɣli le xaxame, eye wòse nye gbe.
Euening and morning, and at noone will I pray, and make a noyse, and he wil heare my voice.
18 Eɖem tso aʋa si le edzi yim kplim la me le dedinɔnɔ me, togbɔ be ame geɖewo tso ɖe ŋutinye hã.
He hath deliuered my soule in peace from the battel, that was against me: for many were with me.
19 Mawu, ame si le fiazikpui dzi tegbee la asee, eye wòabɔbɔ wo ɖe anyi, (Sela) ame siwo gbe tɔtrɔ le woƒe mɔwo dzi, eye womevɔ̃a Mawu o lae.
God shall heare and afflict them, euen hee that reigneth of olde, (Selah) because they haue no changes, therefore they feare not God.
20 Nye zɔhɛ wɔ avu kple exɔlɔ̃wo hegblẽ kɔ ɖo na eƒe nubabla.
Hee layed his hande vpon such, as be at peace with him, and he brake his couenant.
21 Eƒe nuƒo zrɔ̃ dredredre abe notsi kpekpe ene, evɔ aʋawɔwɔ le eƒe dzi me; eƒe numenyawo zrɔ̃ wu ami, gake wonye yi siwo woɖe le aku me lé ɖe asi.
The wordes of his mouth were softer then butter, yet warre was in his heart: his words were more gentle then oyle, yet they were swordes.
22 Tsɔ wò dzimaɖiwo da ɖe Yehowa dzi, eye akpɔ tawò, elabena mana ame dzɔdzɔe la nadze anyi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
Cast thy burden vpon the Lord, and hee shall nourish thee: he wil not suffer the righteous to fall for euer.
23 O! Mawu, ke wò la, àhe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ayi yɔdo me. Ŋutsu hlɔ̃dolawo kple ameblelawo manɔ agbe wòade agbemeŋkeke siwo nèna wo la ƒe afã hã o. Ke nye la, wò ko dzi meka ɖo.
And thou, O God, shalt bring them downe into the pitte of corruption: the bloudie, and deceitfull men shall not liue halfe their dayes: but I will trust in thee.
