< Psalmowo 64 >
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Mawu, ɖo tom, esi meɖe nye kuxiwo na wò; kpɔ nye agbe ta tso futɔ siwo le ŋɔdzi dom nam la ƒe asi me.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.
2 Ɣlam tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe nugbeɖoɖo kple ame vlo mawo ƒe howɔwɔ me.
Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.
3 Wonyrea woƒe aɖewo abe yi ene, eye wodzidzea woƒe nyawo ɖe ame dzi abe aŋutrɔ siwo nu aɖi le la ene.
They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,
4 Wodea xa hedaa aŋutrɔ ame maɖifɔ la, eye wodanɛ zi ɖeka vɔvɔ̃manɔŋutɔe.
so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.
5 Wodea dzi ƒo na wo nɔewo le woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi ɖoɖowo me, woƒoa nu tso ale si woatre mɔ ɖe vivime la ŋuti gblɔna be, “Ame kae le ekpɔ ge?”
They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”
6 Woɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖi hegblɔna le eŋuti be, “Míewɔ ɖoɖo deŋgɔ la vɔ!” Vavãe, ame ƒe susu kple dzi me nye ayenuwɔƒe,
They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.
7 gake Mawu ada aŋutrɔ wo eye wòalɔ wo zi ɖeka kpoyi woamu adze anyi.
But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.
8 Ana woawo ŋutɔ ƒe aɖe nade wo nya me eye wòahe wo ade tsɔtsrɔ̃ me. Ame siwo katã akpɔ wo la aʋuʋu ta ɖe wo ŋu fewuɖutɔe.
They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.
9 Tete vɔvɔ̃ aɖo amegbetɔƒomea katã; woado Mawu ƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ɖe dzi, eye woade ŋugble le nu si wòwɔ la ŋuti.
All people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.
10 Ame dzɔdzɔe akpɔ dzidzɔ le Yehowa me, eye wòasii atso. Ame siwo katã dza le woƒe dzi me la akafui!
The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
