Psalmowo 69
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “Dzogbenya” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Mawu, ɖem, elabena tsi ɖɔ ɖe ŋunye va se ɖe nye kɔgbɔ ke.
`In Ebreu thus, To the victorie, on the roosis of Dauid. `In Jerom thus, To the ouercomer, for the sones of Dauid. God, make thou me saaf; for watris `entriden til to my soule.
2 Meɖo ba yi ɖe tome ke, afi si afɔɖoƒe mele o. Meɖo tɔ goglowo me; tsi ɖɔ to tanye.
I am set in the sliym of the depthe; and `substaunce is not. I cam in to the depthe of the see; and the tempest drenchide me.
3 Medo ɣli be woaxɔ nam, ale nu ti kɔ nam, eye nye ve me hã ƒu kplakplakpla. Mekpɔ mɔ na Mawu ʋuu, eye ɖeɖi te nye ŋkuwo ŋu.
I traueilide criynge, my cheekis weren maad hoose; myn iyen failiden, the while Y hope in to my God.
4 Ame siwo lé fum ɖe nanekemawɔmawɔ ta la sɔ gbɔ wu nye taɖa. Amewo lé fum yakatsyɔ, eye woti yonyeme be woatsrɔ̃m. Ale meɖo nu si nyemefi o la eteƒe dzizizitɔe.
Thei that hatiden me with out cause; weren multiplied aboue the heeris of myn heed. Myn enemyes that pursueden me vniustli weren coumfortid; Y paiede thanne tho thingis, whiche Y rauischide not.
5 O! Mawu, ènya nye bometsitsi, eye nye fɔɖiɖi mele ɣaɣla ɖe wò o.
God, thou knowist myn vnkunnyng; and my trespassis ben not hid fro thee.
6 O! Aƒetɔ, Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, mègana ame siwo ƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ le mewò la naɖu ŋukpe le tanye o. O! Israel ƒe Mawu, ame siwo le diwòm la, mègana ŋu nakpe wo le tanye o.
Lord, Lord of vertues; thei, that abiden thee, be not aschamed in me. God of Israel; thei, that seken thee, be not schent on me.
7 Tawòe wodo vlom ɖo, eye ŋukpe tsyɔ mo nam.
For Y suffride schenschipe for thee; schame hilide my face.
8 Menye amedzro na nye ŋutɔ nɔvinye ŋutsuwo kple ame manyamanya na danyevi ŋutsuwo.
I am maad a straunger to my britheren; and a pilgryme to the sones of my modir.
9 Elabena lɔlɔ̃ na wò aƒe zu dzo ge ɖe menye, eye ame siwo dzu wò la ƒe dzudzu va dzinye.
For the feruent loue of thin hous eet me; and the schenschipis of men seiynge schenschipis to thee fellen on me.
10 Esi mefa avi, tsi nu dɔ la, vlododo boŋ wozu nam;
And Y hilide my soule with fastyng; and it was maad in to schenschip to me.
11 esi meta akpanya la, mezu nu ɖikokoe na amewo.
And Y puttide my cloth an heire; and Y am maad to hem in to a parable.
12 Ame siwo nɔ anyi ɖe agbo nu la ɖe alɔme le ŋunye, eye ahamulawo kekeake hã kpa ha dem.
Thei, that saten in the yate, spaken ayens me; and thei, that drunken wien, sungen of me.
13 O! Yehowa, medo gbe ɖa na wò le wò amenuveɣi; O! Mawu, le wò lɔlɔ̃ gã la ta, tɔ nam kple wò xɔname si medana le edzi o.
But Lord, Y dresse my preier to thee; God, Y abide the tyme of good plesaunce. Here thou me in the multitude of thi mercy; in the treuthe of thin heelthe.
14 Ɖem tso agbi me, mègana mayi to o, ɖem le ame siwo lé fum la ƒe asi me, tso tɔ goglowo me.
Delyuer thou me fro the cley, that Y be not faste set in; delyuere thou me fro hem that haten me, and fro depthe of watris.
15 Mègana tsi naɖɔ to tanye, alo gogloƒe namim, eye ʋe globo natu eƒe nu ɖe dzinye o.
The tempest of watir drenche not me, nethir the depthe swolowe me; nethir the pit make streit his mouth on me.
16 O! Yehowa, tɔ nam, le wò lɔlɔ̃ deto la ta, eye trɔ ɖe ŋutinye le wò nublanuikpɔkpɔ gã la ta.
Lord, here thou me, for thi merci is benygne; vp the multitude of thi merciful doyngis biholde thou in to me.
17 Mègaɣla wò mo ɖe wò dɔla o; ke boŋ tɔ nam kaba, elabena meɖo xaxa me.
And turne not awei thi face fro thi child; for Y am in tribulacioun, here thou me swiftli.
18 Te ɖe ŋunye, eye nàxɔ nam, ɖem le nye ketɔwo ta.
Yyue thou tente to my soule, and delyuer thou it; for myn enemyes delyuere thou me.
19 Ènya ale si wodo vlom, ɖi gbɔ̃m, eye wodo ŋu kpem; nye futɔwo katã le ŋkuwò me.
Thou knowist my schenschip, and my dispysyng; and my schame.
20 Vlododo na nye dzi gbã, eye mezu xɔnamemanɔsitɔ; mekpɔ mɔ na babadoname, gake ɖeke meli o. Mekpɔ mɔ na akɔfalawo, gake nyemekpɔ ɖeke o.
Alle that troblen me ben in thi siyt; myn herte abood schendschipe, and wretchidnesse. And Y abood hym, that was sory togidere, and noon was; and that schulde coumforte, and Y foond not.
21 Wotsɔ veve de nye nuɖuɖu me, eye esi tsikɔ wum la, wotsɔ aha tsitsi nam be mano.
And thei yauen galle in to my meete; and in my thirst thei yauen `to me drinke with vynegre.
22 Woƒe kplɔ̃ si woɖo na wo la nezu mɔ na wo; nezu teƒeɖoɖo kple mɔ na wo.
The boord of hem be maad bifore hem in to a snare; and in to yeldyngis, and in to sclaundir.
23 Woƒe ŋkuwo dzi nedo viviti be, womagate ŋu akpɔ nu o, eye na woƒe dzi me naɖo kpo tegbee.
Her iyen be maad derk, that thei se not; and euere bouwe doun the bak of hem.
24 Trɔ wò dziku kɔ ɖe wo dzi, eye nàna wò dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ nalé wo.
Schede out thin ire on hem; and the strong veniaunce of thin ire take hem.
25 Woƒe nɔƒe neɖi gbɔlo; mègana be ame aɖeke neganɔ woƒe agbadɔwo me o.
The habitacioun of hem be maad forsakun; and `noon be that dwelle in the tabernaclis of hem.
26 Elabena woti ame siwo ŋu nède abii la yome, eye wole nu ƒom le ame siwo nèwɔ nuvevii la ƒe vevesese ŋu.
For thei pursueden hym, whom thou hast smyte; and thei addiden on the sorewe of my woundis.
27 Bu fɔ wo, eye nàgabu fɔ wo ɖe edzi; mègana woakpɔ gome le wò xɔname me o.
Adde thou wickidnesse on the wickidnesse of hem; and entre thei not in to thi riytwisnesse.
28 Tutu woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa le agbegbalẽ la me, eye mègana woaŋlɔ woƒe ŋkɔ ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo dome o.
Be thei don awei fro the book of lyuynge men; and be thei not writun with iust men.
29 Mele vevesese kple nuxaxa me; O! Mawu, na wò xɔname natɔ kpɔ ƒo xlãm.
I am pore and sorewful; God, thin heelthe took me vp.
30 Matsɔ hadzidzi akafu Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ, eye madoe ɖe dzi kple akpedada.
I schal herye the name of God with song; and Y schal magnefye hym in heriyng.
31 Esia adze Yehowa ŋu wu nyi, eye wòado dzidzɔ nɛ wu nyitsu kple eƒe dzowo kpakple eƒe afɔkliwo.
And it schal plese God more than a newe calf; bryngynge forth hornes and clees.
32 Hiãtɔwo akpɔe ahatso aseye, eye mi ame siwo dia Mawu la, míaƒe dziwo nenɔ agbe ɖaa!
Pore men se, and be glad; seke ye God, and youre soule schal lyue.
33 Yehowa ɖoa to hiãtɔwo, eye medoa vlo eƒe ame siwo le aboyome o.
For the Lord herde pore men; and dispiside not hise boundun men.
34 Dziƒo kple anyigba nekafui, atsiaƒuwo kple nu siwo katã ʋãna le wo me,
Heuenes and erthe, herye hym; the se, and alle crepynge bestis in tho, herye hym.
35 elabena Mawu aɖe Zion, eye wòagbugbɔ Yuda ƒe duwo atso. Ekema amewo aɖanɔ afi ma, axɔe wòazu wo tɔ;
For God schal make saaf Syon; and the citees of Juda schulen be bildid. And thei schulen dwelle there; and thei schulen gete it bi eritage.
36 eƒe dɔlawo ƒe viwo atsɔe anyi domee, eye ame siwo lɔ̃ eƒe ŋkɔ la anɔ afi ma.
And the seed of hise seruauntis schal haue it in possessioun; and thei that louen his name, schulen dwelle ther ynne.
