Psalmowo 62
1 David ƒe ha na Hɛnɔ Yedutun. Mawu me ko nye luʋɔ kpɔ gbɔɖeme le, eye eya ko gbɔ nye xɔxɔ tsona.
For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.
2 Eya koe nye nye agakpe, nye xɔxɔ kple nye mɔ sesẽ, eya ta nyemaʋã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.
3 Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nànɔ ame ɖeka ƒoƒo dzi? Ɖe mi katã mialé ame si le abe gli gbagbã kple kpɔ si le mumum ene la aƒu anyia?
How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 Woɖoe vavã be yewoatutui tso eƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔ la, elabena wolɔ̃a alakpadada. Wotsɔa woƒe nuwo gblɔa yayranyawoe, ke fiƒode le woƒe dzi me. (Sela)
They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)
5 O! Nye luʋɔ, gbɔ ɖe eme le Mawu ɖeka ko me, elabena eya gbɔ nye mɔkpɔkpɔ tso.
Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.
6 Eya hɔ̃ɔ koe nye nye agakpe, nye xɔxɔ kple nye mɔ sesẽ, eya ta nyemaʋuʋu o.
He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved.
7 Nye xɔxɔ kple bubu ku ɖe Mawu ŋu, eyae nye nye agakpe sesẽ kple nye sitsoƒe.
Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 O! Mi dukɔwo, miɖo dzi ɖe eŋu ɣe sia ɣi; mitsɔ miaƒe hiahiãwo kɔ ɖe edzi, elabena Mawue nye míaƒe sitsoƒe. (Sela)
Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 Vavã, ƒuƒu ko ame gbɔlowo nye, eye alakpa nye ame siwo nye ame ŋkutawo, elabena ne woda wo le nudanu dzi la, tofloko ko wonye, eye wo katã ƒuƒu ko wonye.
Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.
10 Migaɖo ŋu ɖe amebaba ŋu, alo akpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe nu siwo wofi la ŋuti o. Togbɔ be wò kesinɔnuwo dzi ɖe edzi hã la, mègatsɔ wò dzi da ɖe wo dzi o.
Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11 Mawu gblɔ nya ɖeka, eye mese nu eve le eme be, “Wò, O Mawu, ɖeka koe sesẽ,
God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;
12 eye O Aƒetɔ, wò la lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe asiwò. Vavã, àɖo eteƒe na ame sia ame ɖe nu si wòwɔ la nu.”
Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
