Psalmowo 62
1 David ƒe ha na Hɛnɔ Yedutun. Mawu me ko nye luʋɔ kpɔ gbɔɖeme le, eye eya ko gbɔ nye xɔxɔ tsona.
“To the chief musician, upon Jeduthun, a psalm of David.” Only in God my soul trusted in silence: from him cometh my salvation.
2 Eya koe nye nye agakpe, nye xɔxɔ kple nye mɔ sesẽ, eya ta nyemaʋã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: 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 devise mischief against a man? will ye all assault him murderously, as though he were a falling 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)
Yea, from his height do they take counsel to cast [him] down; they delight in lies: with their mouth do they bless, but inwardly do they curse. (Selah)
5 O! Nye luʋɔ, gbɔ ɖe eme le Mawu ɖeka ko me, elabena eya gbɔ nye mɔkpɔkpɔ tso.
Yea, in God hope in silence, my soul; for from him is my expectation.
6 Eya hɔ̃ɔ koe nye nye agakpe, nye xɔxɔ kple nye mɔ sesẽ, eya ta nyemaʋuʋu o.
Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence: I shall not be moved.
7 Nye xɔxɔ kple bubu ku ɖe Mawu ŋu, eyae nye nye agakpe sesẽ kple nye sitsoƒe.
With God are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are 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, O ye people; pour out before him your heart: God is a protection 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.
Verily nought are the sons of common men, a lie the sons of the great; they must rise in the balance; they are altogether [lighter] than nought.
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.
Do not put your trust in defrauding, and be not rendered vain through robbery: if riches flourish, set not your heart [upon them].
11 Mawu gblɔ nya ɖeka, eye mese nu eve le eme be, “Wò, O Mawu, ɖeka koe sesẽ,
Once hath God spoken; [yea, ] twice [what] I have heard: 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.”
And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth kindness; for thou wilt recompense every man according to his works.
