Psalmowo 90
1 Mose, Mawu ƒe ame ƒe gbedodoɖa. Yehowa, wòe nye míaƒe sitsoƒe le dzidzimewo katã me.
Lord, thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2 Hafi towo nava dzɔ, alo hafi nàwɔ anyigba kple xexea me, tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, wò koe nye Mawu.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or thou had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou are God.
3 Ènana amegbetɔwo gatrɔna zua kewɔ, eye nègblɔna be, “O! Amegbetɔviwo, mitrɔ zu kewɔ.”
Thou turn man to destruction, and say, Return, ye sons of men.
4 Elabena ƒe akpewo le ŋkuwò me le abe etsɔ ŋkeke si va yi la ene, alo abe ŋudzɔɣi le zã me ene.
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Èkplɔa amewo dzonae to ku me; wole abe gbe mumu le ŋdi me ene.
Thou carry them away as with a flood. They are as a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up.
6 Togbɔ be emie le ŋdi yeyee hã la, le fiẽ me la, eƒu, eye wòku.
In the morning it flourishes, and grows up. In the evening it is cut down, and withers.
7 Wò dɔmedzoe la tsrɔ̃ mí eye wò dɔmedzoe do ŋɔdzi na mí.
For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Ètsɔ míaƒe vodadawo ɖo wò ŋkume kple míaƒe nu vɔ̃ siwo míewɔ le ɣaɣlaƒe la ɖo wò mo ƒe kekeli nu.
Thou have set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 Míaƒe ŋkekewo katã nu va yi le wò dziku ta, eye míewu míaƒe ƒewo nu kple ŋeŋe.
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10 Míaƒe agbemeŋkekewo le ƒe blaadre, alo blaenyi, gake ne ŋusẽ gale mía ŋutie nye ema, elabena woƒe didi nye fuɖename kple aɖukliɖuɖu; wo nu va yi kaba, eye míedzo.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years, yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it is soon gone, and we fly away.
11 Ame kae nya wò dɔmedzoe ƒe ŋusẽ? Elabena wò dziku nu sẽ abe ale si woavɔ̃ wòe ene.
Who knows the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due to thee?
12 Fia ale si míaxlẽ míaƒe ŋkekewo dedie la mí, ale be dzi si me dziƒonunya le la nasu mía si.
So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
13 O! Yehowa, bɔbɔ wò asi! Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi? Kpɔ nublanui na wò dɔlawo.
Return, O Jehovah. How long? And relent concerning thy servants.
14 Tsɔ wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ɖi ƒoe na mí le ŋdi me, be míadzi ha kple dzidzɔ, eye míatso aseye le míaƒe ŋkekewo katã me.
O satisfy us in the morning with thy loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Na míatso aseye, ɖe ŋkeke siwo katã nètu nu kpli mí kple ƒe siwo katã me nèhe fukpekpe va mía dzi la ta.
Make us glad according to the days in which thou have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.
16 Na woaɖe wò dɔwɔwɔwo afia wò dɔlawo kple wò atsyɔ̃ afia wo viwo.
Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory upon their sons.
17 Aƒetɔ, míaƒe Mawu, na wò amenuveve nanɔ mía dzi, eye nàli ke míaƒe asinudɔwo na mí, ɛ̃, míaƒe asinudɔwo, nàna woali ke nyuie.
And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us. And establish thou the work of our hands upon us, yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
