1I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
1 Dawda baytu fo kaŋ a te waato kaŋ a go tondi guuso ra. Adduwa mo no.
2I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
2 Ay ga hẽ Rabbi gaa d'ay jinda. Ay jinde no ay g'ay ŋwaarayyaŋ hẽeney te d'a Rabbi gaa.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
3 Ay g'ay hẽeno gusam a jine, Ay g'ay taabo cabe a se mo.
4Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
4 Waati kaŋ ay biya kasam ay ra, Ni jin k'ay fonda bay. Ay fonda kaŋ ay ga gana din, I na kumsay tugu ay se a ra.
5I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
5 Ay guna ka di ay kambe ŋwaaro gaa haray, Boro si no kaŋ ga saal ay. Tuguyaŋ do si no ay se, Boro si no kaŋ g'ay fundo saal.
6Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.
6 Ya Rabbi, ay na ni ce. Ay ne: «Nin no ga ti ay koruyaŋ do, Nin no ga ti ay baa mo fundikooney laabo ra.
7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.
7 Ma hanga jeeri ay hẽeno se, zama ay kayna gumo. M'ay faaba ay gurzugandikoyey kambe ra, Zama i bisa ay gaabi.
8 M'ay fundo fattandi ka kaa kasu ra, Zama ay ma saabu ni maa se. Adilantey g'ay windi, Zama ni ga gomni te ay se.»
