Psalmowo 91
1 Ame si nɔ Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe bebeƒe la agbɔ ɖe eme le Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe vɔvɔli te.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in 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 Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Vavã, aɖe wò le xevimɔtrela ƒe mɔ kple dɔvɔ̃ dziŋɔ me.
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly 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 will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
5 Màvɔ̃ zãmeŋɔdzi alo aŋutrɔ si le ʋɔ lũm le ŋkeke me,
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 dɔvɔ̃ si le tsatsam le viviti me, alo dɔxɔleameŋu si le nu gblẽm le ŋdɔ la o.
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 Akpe adze anyi ɖe axawò, eye akpe ewo ɖe wò nuɖusime, ke wò la, mate ɖe ŋuwò o.
A thousand may fall at 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.
You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Ne ètsɔ Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, Yehowa, ame si nye nye sitsoƒe wɔ nɔwòƒee la,
Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10 ekema dzɔgbevɔ̃e maɖi kpe wò o, eye gbegblẽ mate ɖe wò agbadɔ ŋu o,
no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 elabena ade se na eƒe dɔlawo tso ŋutiwò, be woakpɔ tawò le wò mɔwo katã dzi.
For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
12 Woakɔ wò ɖe woƒe asiwo me, be màtsɔ wò afɔ axlã ɖe kpe aɖeke o.
They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
13 Àɖo afɔ dzata kple ƒli dzi, eye ànya avuzi le dzata dziŋɔ kple da vɔ̃ɖi dzi.
You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
14 Yehowa be, “Maɖee, elabena elɔ̃m, madzɔ eŋu, elabena enya nye ŋkɔ.
“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15 Ayɔm, eye matɔ nɛ; manɔ anyi kplii le xaxa me, maɖee, eye made bubu eŋuti.
He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 Matsɔ agbe didi aɖi ƒo nɛ, eye maɖe nye xɔxɔ afiae.”
I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
