Psalmowo 55
1 David ƒe nufiameha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. O! Mawu, ɖo to nye gbedodoɖa, mègado toku nye kokoƒoƒo o.
`In Ebreu thus, To victorie in orguns, the lernyng of Dauid. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomer in salmes of Dauid lernid. God, here thou my preier, and dispise thou not my biseching;
2 Ɖo tom, eye nàtɔ nam. Nye tamesusuwo ɖea fu nam, eye metɔtɔna,
yyue thou tent to me, and here thou me. I am sorewful in myn exercising; and Y am disturblid of the face of the enemye,
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.
and of the tribulacioun of the synner. For thei bowiden wickidnessis in to me; and in ire thei weren diseseful to me.
4 Nye dzi le nu xam vevie le menye; ku ƒe ŋɔdzi ɖe to ɖem.
Myn herte was disturblid in me; and the drede of deth felde on me.
5 Vɔvɔ̃ kple dzodzo nyanyanya lém, eye ŋɔdzi gbagba blam.
Drede and trembling camen on me; and derknessis hiliden me.
6 Megblɔ be, “O! Ɖe wònye aʋala le asinye abe ahɔnɛ ene la, anye ne madzo aɖadzudzɔ le teƒe aɖe.
And Y seide, Who schal yyue to me fetheris, as of a culuer; and Y schal fle, and schal take rest?
7 Madzo ayi keke gbegbe, aɖanɔ afi ma. (Sela)
Lo! Y yede fer awei, and fledde; and Y dwellide in wildirnesse.
8 Maɖe abla ayi ɖe nye bebeƒe, ate ɖe aga tso ya sesẽwo kple ahom gbɔ.”
I abood hym, that made me saaf fro the litilnesse, `ether drede, of spirit; and fro tempest.
9 O! Aƒetɔ, tɔtɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, tɔtɔ woƒe nyagbɔgblɔwo, elabena mekpɔ ŋutasesẽ kple ʋunyaʋunya le dua me.
Lord, caste thou doun, departe thou the tungis of hem; for Y siy wickidnesse and ayenseiyng in the citee.
10 Zã kple keli wole tatam le eƒe gliwo dzi, eye nugbeɖoɖo kple hiãkame le eme.
Bi dai and nyyt wickidnesse schal cumpasse it on the wallis therof;
11 Ŋusẽ siwo gblẽa nu la le dɔ wɔm le dua me; ŋutasesẽ kple alakpadada medzona le eƒe ablɔ dzi o.
and trauel and vnriytfulnesse ben in the myddis therof. And vsure and gile failide not; fro the stretis therof.
12 Ne futɔe le dzu yem la, mate ŋu atsɔe; ne ketɔe kɔ eɖokui ɖe dzi ɖe ŋunye la, mate ŋu aɣla ɖee,
For if myn enemye hadde cursid me; sotheli Y hadde suffride. And if he, that hatide me, hadde spoke greet thingis on me; in hap Y hadde hid me fro hym.
13 gake wò, ŋutsu abe nye ene, xɔ̃nye vevi kple nye kpeɖeŋutɔ,
But thou art a man of o wille; my leeder, and my knowun.
14 nye kple ame si dome habɔbɔ vivi aɖe nɔ, eye míezɔna aduadu le amehawo dome le gbedoxɔ me lae.
Which tokist togidere swete meetis with me; we yeden with consent in the hous of God.
15 Ku neƒo ɖe nye ketɔwo dzi kpoyi; woneyi yɔdo me agbagbe, elabena nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ xɔ aƒe ɖe wo dome. (Sheol h7585)
Deth come on hem; and go thei doun quyk in to helle. For weiwardnessis ben in the dwelling places of hem; in the myddis of hem. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ke meyɔ Mawu, eye wòtɔ nam, heɖem.
But Y criede to thee, Lord; and the Lord sauede me.
17 Fiẽ, ŋdi kple ŋdɔ medo ɣli le xaxame, eye wòse nye gbe.
In the euentid and morewtid and in myddai Y schal telle, and schewe; and he schal here my vois.
18 Eɖem tso aʋa si le edzi yim kplim la me le dedinɔnɔ me, togbɔ be ame geɖewo tso ɖe ŋutinye hã.
He schal ayenbie my soule in pees fro hem, that neiyen to me; for among manye thei weren 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 schal here; and he that is bifore the worldis schal make hem low. For chaungyng is not to hem, and thei dredden not God;
20 Nye zɔhɛ wɔ avu kple exɔlɔ̃wo hegblẽ kɔ ɖo na eƒe nubabla.
he holdith forth his hoond in yelding. Thei defouliden his testament,
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 cheris therof weren departid fro ire; and his herte neiyede. The wordis therof weren softer than oyle; and tho ben dartis.
22 Tsɔ wò dzimaɖiwo da ɖe Yehowa dzi, eye akpɔ tawò, elabena mana ame dzɔdzɔe la nadze anyi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
Caste thi cure on the Lord, and he schal fulli nurische thee; and he schal not yyue with outen ende flotering to a iust man.
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.
But thou, God, schalt lede hem forth; in to the pit of deth. Menquelleris and gilours schulen not haue half her daies; but, Lord, Y schal hope in thee.
