Psalmowo 88
1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Enye nufiameha si Ezrahitɔ Heman kpa; woadzii ɖe Mahalat Leanot ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. O! Yehowa, Mawu si ɖem, mele ɣli dom le ŋkuwò me zã kple keli.
O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you:
2 Nye gbedodoɖa nede gbɔwò, ƒu to anyi ɖe nye kokoƒoƒo ŋu,
Let my prayer come before you: incline your ear unto my cry;
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draws nigh unto the grave. (Sheol h7585)
4 Wobum ɖe ame siwo yi aʋlime la dome; mele abe ŋutsu si si ŋusẽ mele o la ene.
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that has no strength:
5 Woɖem ɖe aga da ɖe ame kukuwo dome, eye mele abe ame siwo wowu wole yɔdo me la ene, ame siwo dzi miagaɖo ŋkui o, eye woɖe wo ɖa le wò dzikpɔkpɔ te.
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.
6 Ètsɔm de ʋe goglotɔ me, yi ɖe keke viviti tsiɖitsiɖi me.
You have laid me in the low pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7 Wò dziku helĩhelĩ le dzinye vevie, eye nètsɔ wò ƒutsotsoewo tsyɔ dzinye. (Sela)
Your wrath lies hard upon me, and you have afflicted me with all your waves. (Selah)
8 Èxɔ xɔ̃nye veviwo le asinye, eye nètsɔm wɔ ŋunyɔnu na wo. Ètsɔm da ɖe xaxɛƒe, nyemate ŋu asi o,
You have put away mine acquaintance far from me; you have made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9 eye nuxaxa wɔe be nye ŋkuwo dzi tsyɔ. O! Yehowa, mele yɔwòm gbe sia gbe, eye meke nye abɔwo me na wò.
Mine eye mourns by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon you, I have stretched out my hands unto you.
10 Ɖe nàte ŋu aɖe wò nukunuwo afia ame kukua? Ɖe ame siwo ku la ate ŋu atsi tsitre akafu wòa? (Sela)
Will you show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise you? (Selah)
11 Ɖe woaɖe gbeƒã wò lɔlɔ̃ le yɔdo me kple wò nuteƒewɔwɔ le tsiẽƒea?
Shall your loving kindness be declared in the grave? or your faithfulness in destruction?
12 Ɖe woanya nu le wò nukunuwo ŋu le viviti me, alo le wò dzɔdzɔenyenyedɔwo ŋu le anyigba manyamanya dzia?
Shall your wonders be known in the dark? and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Ke wò, o Yehowae, mele ɣli dom na be nàxɔ nam, eye le ŋdi me la, nye gbedodoɖa neva gbɔwò.
But unto you have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
14 O! Yehowa, nu ka ta nègbem, eye nèɣla wò mo ɖem ɖo?
LORD, why cast you off my soul? why hide you your face from me?
15 Tso nye ɖekakpuime ke, mekpe hiã, eye meɖo kudo nu, mekpe fu le wò ŋɔdzidodowo ta, eye dzi ɖe le ƒonye.
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer your terrors I am distracted.
16 Wò dziku helĩhelĩ tsyɔ dzinye, eye wò ŋɔdzi gblẽ donyeme.
Your fierce wrath goes over me; your terrors have cut me off.
17 Woƒo xlãm ŋkeke blibo la abe tsiɖɔɖɔ ene, eye wonye tsyɔ dzinye.
They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
18 Èɖe nye zɔhɛwo kple xɔ̃nyewo ɖa le ŋunye, eye vivitie nye xɔ̃nye si tsɔ ɖe gbɔnye.
Lover and friend have you put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
