Psalmowo 7
1 David ƒe konyifaha si wòdzi na Yehowa le Benyamintɔ, Kus ƒe nyawo ta. O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, wòe mesi tso, xɔ nam, eye nàɖem tso ame siwo katã le yonyeme tim la ƒe asi me.
For the ignoraunce of Dauid, which he songe to the Lord on the wordis of Ethiopien, the sone of Gemyny. Mi Lord God, Y haue hopid in thee; make thou me saaf fro alle that pursuen me, and delyuere thou me.
2 Ne menye nenema o la, woavuvum abe ale si dzata vuvua nui ene, eye woavuvum ʋayaʋaya, xɔnametɔ aɖeke mava ɖem o.
Lest ony tyme he as a lioun rauysche my soule; the while noon is that ayenbieth, nether that makith saaf.
3 O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, ne mewɔ nu sia, eye vɔ̃ lé ɖe nye asiwo ŋu,
Mi Lord God, if Y dide this thing, if wickidnesse is in myn hondis;
4 ne mewɔ nu vɔɖi ɖe ame si li kplim le ŋutifafa me ŋuti alo meda adzo nye futɔ naneke mawɔmawɔtɔe la,
if Y `yeldide to men yeldynge to me yuels, falle Y `bi disseruyng voide fro myn enemyes;
5 ekema na nye futɔ nati yonyeme, eye eƒe asi nasu dzinye; na be wòafanyam ɖe anyigba, eye wòana matsi ke me adɔ. (Sela)
myn enemy pursue my soule, and take, and defoule my lijf in erthe; and brynge my glorie in to dust.
6 O! Yehowa, tso, le wò dziku me; tso ɖe nye futɔwo ƒe nyanyra ŋuti. Nyɔ, nye Mawu, ne nàɖo ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe dɔdrɔ̃ anyi.
Lord, rise thou vp in thin ire; and be thou reysid in the coostis of myn enemyes.
7 Na be amehawo naƒo ƒu ɖe ŋuwò. Ɖu fia ɖe wo dzi tso dziƒo;
And, my Lord God, rise thou in the comaundement, which thou `hast comaundid; and the synagoge of puplis schal cumpasse thee.
8 na be Yehowa nadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dukɔ la. O! Yehowa, tso afia nam le nye dzɔdzɔenyenye ta, O! Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, tso afia nam le nye nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.
And for this go thou ayen an hiy; the Lord demeth puplis. Lord, deme thou me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi myn innocence on me.
9 O! Mawu dzɔdzɔetɔ, ame si dzroa susuwo kple dziwo me, na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ nu natso, eye nàna dedinɔnɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo.
The wickidnesse of synneris be endid; and thou, God, sekyng the hertis and reynes, schalt dresse a iust man.
10 Nye akpoxɔnue nye Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, ame si ɖea ame si dza le eƒe dzi me.
Mi iust help is of the Lord; that makith saaf riytful men in herte.
11 Mawue nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la dzɔdzɔe, Mawu si ɖea eƒe dɔmedzoe fiana gbe sia gbe.
The Lord is a iust iuge, stronge and pacient; whether he is wrooth bi alle daies?
12 Nu metia kɔ nɛ o, anyre eƒe yi, eye wòavu eƒe dati me.
If ye ben `not conuertid, he schal florische his swerd; he hath bent his bouwe, and made it redi.
13 Edzra eƒe lãnuwo ɖo da ɖi, eye eƒe aŋutrɔ bibiawo la etrɔ asi le wo ŋu wosɔ gbe.
And therynne he hath maad redi the vessels of deth; he hath fulli maad his arewis with brennynge thingis.
14 Ame si fɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi ƒe fu, eye dzɔgbevɔ̃e zu fu wòfɔ la, adzi beble ƒe vi.
Lo! he conseyuede sorewe; he peynfuli brouyte forth vnriytfulnesse, and childide wickidnesse.
15 Ame si ɖe ʋe, heku eme wògoglo nyuie la age dze ʋe si eya ŋutɔ ɖe la me.
He openide a lake, and diggide it out; and he felde in to the dich which he made.
16 Dzɔgbevɔ̃e si wòhe vɛ la atrɔ abali ɖe eya ŋutɔ ŋuti, eye eƒe ŋutasesẽ atrɔ ava eya ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi.
His sorewe schal be turned in to his heed; and his wickidnesse schal come doun in to his necke.
17 Mada akpe na Yehowa le eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye ta, eye madzi kafukafuha na Yehowa Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ.
I schal knouleche to the Lord bi his riytfulnesse; and Y schal synge to the name of the hiyeste Lord.
