Psalmowo 91
1 Ame si nɔ Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe bebeƒe la agbɔ ɖe eme le Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe vɔvɔli te.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Magblɔ na Yehowa be, “Eyae nye nye sitsoƒe kple nye mɔ sesẽ, nye Mawu si ŋu meku ɖo.”
I will say of YHWH, He is my refuge and my fortress: my Elohim; in him will I trust.
3 Vavã, aɖe wò le xevimɔtrela ƒe mɔ kple dɔvɔ̃ dziŋɔ me.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
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 cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Màvɔ̃ zãmeŋɔdzi alo aŋutrɔ si le ʋɔ lũm le ŋkeke me,
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 dɔvɔ̃ si le tsatsam le viviti me, alo dɔxɔleameŋu si le nu gblẽm le ŋdɔ la o.
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 Akpe adze anyi ɖe axawò, eye akpe ewo ɖe wò nuɖusime, ke wò la, mate ɖe ŋuwò o.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Ɖeko nàkpɔe kple wò ŋkuwo, eye àkpɔ ale si woahe to na ame vɔ̃ɖiwoe.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Ne ètsɔ Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, Yehowa, ame si nye nye sitsoƒe wɔ nɔwòƒee la,
Because thou hast made YHWH, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 ekema dzɔgbevɔ̃e maɖi kpe wò o, eye gbegblẽ mate ɖe wò agbadɔ ŋu o,
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy 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 over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 Woakɔ wò ɖe woƒe asiwo me, be màtsɔ wò afɔ axlã ɖe kpe aɖeke o.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Àɖo afɔ dzata kple ƒli dzi, eye ànya avuzi le dzata dziŋɔ kple da vɔ̃ɖi dzi.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Yehowa be, “Maɖee, elabena elɔ̃m, madzɔ eŋu, elabena enya nye ŋkɔ.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath 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 answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 Matsɔ agbe didi aɖi ƒo nɛ, eye maɖe nye xɔxɔ afiae.”
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
