Psalmowo 90
1 Mose, Mawu ƒe ame ƒe gbedodoɖa. Yehowa, wòe nye míaƒe sitsoƒe le dzidzimewo katã me.
The preier of Moises, the man of God. Lord, thou art maad help to vs; fro generacioun in to generacioun.
2 Hafi towo nava dzɔ, alo hafi nàwɔ anyigba kple xexea me, tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, wò koe nye Mawu.
Bifore that hillis weren maad, ether the erthe and the world was formed; fro the world and in to the world thou art God.
3 Ènana amegbetɔwo gatrɔna zua kewɔ, eye nègblɔna be, “O! Amegbetɔviwo, mitrɔ zu kewɔ.”
Turne thou not awei a man in to lownesse; and thou seidist, Ye sones of men, be conuertid.
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 thousynde yeer ben bifore thin iyen; as yistirdai, which is passid, and as keping in the niyt.
5 Èkplɔa amewo dzonae to ku me; wole abe gbe mumu le ŋdi me ene.
The yeeris of hem schulen be; that ben had for nouyt.
6 Togbɔ be emie le ŋdi yeyee hã la, le fiẽ me la, eƒu, eye wòku.
Eerli passe he, as an eerbe, eerli florische he, and passe; in the euentid falle he doun, be he hard, and wexe drie.
7 Wò dɔmedzoe la tsrɔ̃ mí eye wò dɔmedzoe do ŋɔdzi na mí.
For we han failid in thin ire; and we ben disturblid in thi strong veniaunce.
8 Ètsɔ míaƒe vodadawo ɖo wò ŋkume kple míaƒe nu vɔ̃ siwo míewɔ le ɣaɣlaƒe la ɖo wò mo ƒe kekeli nu.
Thou hast set oure wickidnessis in thi siyt; oure world in the liytning of thi cheer.
9 Míaƒe ŋkekewo katã nu va yi le wò dziku ta, eye míewu míaƒe ƒewo nu kple ŋeŋe.
For alle oure daies han failid; and we han failid in thin ire. Oure yeris schulen bithenke, as an yreyn;
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 daies of oure yeeris ben in tho seuenti yeeris. Forsothe, if fourescoor yeer ben in myyti men; and the more tyme of hem is trauel and sorewe. For myldenesse cam aboue; and we schulen be chastisid.
11 Ame kae nya wò dɔmedzoe ƒe ŋusẽ? Elabena wò dziku nu sẽ abe ale si woavɔ̃ wòe ene.
Who knew the power of thin ire; and durste noumbre thin ire for thi drede?
12 Fia ale si míaxlẽ míaƒe ŋkekewo dedie la mí, ale be dzi si me dziƒonunya le la nasu mía si.
Make thi riythond so knowun; and make men lerned in herte bi wisdom.
13 O! Yehowa, bɔbɔ wò asi! Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi? Kpɔ nublanui na wò dɔlawo.
Lord, be thou conuertid sumdeel; and be thou able to be preied on thi seruauntis.
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.
We weren fillid eerli with thi merci; we maden ful out ioye, and we delitiden in alle oure daies.
15 Na míatso aseye, ɖe ŋkeke siwo katã nètu nu kpli mí kple ƒe siwo katã me nèhe fukpekpe va mía dzi la ta.
We weren glad for the daies in whiche thou madist vs meke; for the yeeris in whiche we siyen yuels.
16 Na woaɖe wò dɔwɔwɔwo afia wò dɔlawo kple wò atsyɔ̃ afia wo viwo.
Lord, biholde thou into thi seruauntis, and in to thi werkis; and dresse thou the sones of hem.
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 the schynyng of oure Lord God be on vs; and dresse thou the werkis of oure hondis on vs, and dresse thou the werk of oure hondis.
