Psalmowo 91
1 Ame si nɔ Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe bebeƒe la agbɔ ɖe eme le Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe vɔvɔli te.
Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High;
2 Magblɔ na Yehowa be, “Eyae nye nye sitsoƒe kple nye mɔ sesẽ, nye Mawu si ŋu meku ɖo.”
Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.
3 Vavã, aɖe wò le xevimɔtrela ƒe mɔ kple dɔvɔ̃ dziŋɔ me.
He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.
4 Atsɔ eƒe fuwo atsyɔ dziwò, àkpɔ sitsoƒe le eƒe aʋala te, eye eƒe nuteƒewɔwɔ anye wò akpoxɔnu kple mɔxenu aƒo xlã wò.
You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.
5 Màvɔ̃ zãmeŋɔdzi alo aŋutrɔ si le ʋɔ lũm le ŋkeke me,
You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,
6 dɔvɔ̃ si le tsatsam le viviti me, alo dɔxɔleameŋu si le nu gblẽm le ŋdɔ la o.
Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.
7 Akpe adze anyi ɖe axawò, eye akpe ewo ɖe wò nuɖusime, ke wò la, mate ɖe ŋuwò o.
You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
8 Ɖeko nàkpɔe kple wò ŋkuwo, eye àkpɔ ale si woahe to na ame vɔ̃ɖiwoe.
Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.
9 Ne ètsɔ Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, Yehowa, ame si nye nye sitsoƒe wɔ nɔwòƒee la,
Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;
10 ekema dzɔgbevɔ̃e maɖi kpe wò o, eye gbegblẽ mate ɖe wò agbadɔ ŋu o,
No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.
11 elabena ade se na eƒe dɔlawo tso ŋutiwò, be woakpɔ tawò le wò mɔwo katã dzi.
For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.
12 Woakɔ wò ɖe woƒe asiwo me, be màtsɔ wò afɔ axlã ɖe kpe aɖeke o.
In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
13 Àɖo afɔ dzata kple ƒli dzi, eye ànya avuzi le dzata dziŋɔ kple da vɔ̃ɖi dzi.
You will put your foot on the lion and the snake; the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet.
14 Yehowa be, “Maɖee, elabena elɔ̃m, madzɔ eŋu, elabena enya nye ŋkɔ.
Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.
15 Ayɔm, eye matɔ nɛ; manɔ anyi kplii le xaxa me, maɖee, eye made bubu eŋuti.
When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.
16 Matsɔ agbe didi aɖi ƒo nɛ, eye maɖe nye xɔxɔ afiae.”
With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.
