Psalmowo 91
1 Ame si nɔ Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe bebeƒe la agbɔ ɖe eme le Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe vɔvɔli te.
Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.
2 Magblɔ na Yehowa be, “Eyae nye nye sitsoƒe kple nye mɔ sesẽ, nye Mawu si ŋu meku ɖo.”
He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.
3 Vavã, aɖe wò le xevimɔtrela ƒe mɔ kple dɔvɔ̃ dziŋɔ me.
For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.
4 Atsɔ eƒe fuwo atsyɔ dziwò, àkpɔ sitsoƒe le eƒe aʋala te, eye eƒe nuteƒewɔwɔ anye wò akpoxɔnu kple mɔxenu aƒo xlã wò.
He shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.
5 Màvɔ̃ zãmeŋɔdzi alo aŋutrɔ si le ʋɔ lũm le ŋkeke me,
You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;
6 dɔvɔ̃ si le tsatsam le viviti me, alo dɔxɔleameŋu si le nu gblẽm le ŋdɔ la o.
[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.
7 Akpe adze anyi ɖe axawò, eye akpe ewo ɖe wò nuɖusime, ke wò la, mate ɖe ŋuwò o.
A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
8 Ɖeko nàkpɔe kple wò ŋkuwo, eye àkpɔ ale si woahe to na ame vɔ̃ɖiwoe.
Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.
9 Ne ètsɔ Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, Yehowa, ame si nye nye sitsoƒe wɔ nɔwòƒee la,
For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.
10 ekema dzɔgbevɔ̃e maɖi kpe wò o, eye gbegblẽ mate ɖe wò agbadɔ ŋu o,
No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.
11 elabena ade se na eƒe dɔlawo tso ŋutiwò, be woakpɔ tawò le wò mɔwo katã dzi.
For he shall give his angels charge concerning you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 Woakɔ wò ɖe woƒe asiwo me, be màtsɔ wò afɔ axlã ɖe kpe aɖeke o.
They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
13 Àɖo afɔ dzata kple ƒli dzi, eye ànya avuzi le dzata dziŋɔ kple da vɔ̃ɖi dzi.
You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.
14 Yehowa be, “Maɖee, elabena elɔ̃m, madzɔ eŋu, elabena enya nye ŋkɔ.
For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.
15 Ayɔm, eye matɔ nɛ; manɔ anyi kplii le xaxa me, maɖee, eye made bubu eŋuti.
He shall call upon me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
16 Matsɔ agbe didi aɖi ƒo nɛ, eye maɖe nye xɔxɔ afiae.”
I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.
