Psalmowo 90
1 Mose, Mawu ƒe ame ƒe gbedodoɖa. Yehowa, wòe nye míaƒe sitsoƒe le dzidzimewo katã me.
A PRAYER OF MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD. Lord, You have been a habitation, To us—in generation and generation,
2 Hafi towo nava dzɔ, alo hafi nàwɔ anyigba kple xexea me, tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, wò koe nye Mawu.
Before mountains were brought forth, And You form the earth and the world, Even from age to age You [are] God.
3 Ènana amegbetɔwo gatrɔna zua kewɔ, eye nègblɔna be, “O! Amegbetɔviwo, mitrɔ zu kewɔ.”
You turn man to a bruised thing, And say, Return, you 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 one thousand years in Your eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passes on, indeed, [as] a watch by night.
5 Èkplɔa amewo dzonae to ku me; wole abe gbe mumu le ŋdi me ene.
You have inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning he changes as grass.
6 Togbɔ be emie le ŋdi yeyee hã la, le fiẽ me la, eƒu, eye wòku.
In the morning it flourishes, and has changed, At evening it is cut down, and has withered.
7 Wò dɔmedzoe la tsrɔ̃ mí eye wò dɔmedzoe do ŋɔdzi na mí.
For we were consumed in Your anger, And we have been troubled in Your fury.
8 Ètsɔ míaƒe vodadawo ɖo wò ŋkume kple míaƒe nu vɔ̃ siwo míewɔ le ɣaɣlaƒe la ɖo wò mo ƒe kekeli nu.
You have set our iniquities before You, Our hidden things at the light of Your face,
9 Míaƒe ŋkekewo katã nu va yi le wò dziku ta, eye míewu míaƒe ƒewo nu kple ŋeŋe.
For all our days pined away in Your wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
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, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet their enlargement [is] labor and vanity, For it has been cut off quickly, 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 Your anger? And according to Your fear—Your wrath?
12 Fia ale si míaxlẽ míaƒe ŋkekewo dedie la mí, ale be dzi si me dziƒonunya le la nasu mía si.
Let [us] know to number our days correctly, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
13 O! Yehowa, bɔbɔ wò asi! Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi? Kpɔ nublanui na wò dɔlawo.
Turn back, O YHWH, until when? And regret concerning Your 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.
Satisfy us at morning [with] Your kindness, And we sing and rejoice 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.
Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein You have afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
16 Na woaɖe wò dɔwɔwɔwo afia wò dɔlawo kple wò atsyɔ̃ afia wo viwo.
Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your honor on 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 pleasantness of our God YHWH be on us, And establish on us the work of our hands, Indeed, establish the work of our hands!
