Psalms 77
1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.
Asaf ƒe ha na Hɛnɔ Yedutun. Medo ɣli na Mawu be wòaxɔ nam; medo ɣli na Mawu be wòaɖo tom.
2 In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.
Esi meɖo xaxa me la, medi Aƒetɔ la; le zã me la, meke nye abɔwo me, gake ɖeɖi mete wo ŋu o, eye nye luʋɔ gbe akɔfafaxɔxɔ.
3 I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint.
O! Mawu, meɖo ŋku dziwò, eye meɖe hũu. Mele ŋeŋem, eye nu te nye gbɔgbɔ ŋu. (Sela)
4 You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
Èna nye ŋkuwo gbe miamia; fuɖeɖewo sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be nyemate ŋu aƒo nu o.
5 I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
Mebu gbe aɖe gbe ŋkekewo kple blemaƒewo ŋu.
6 At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:
Tete meɖo ŋku ha siwo medzina le zã me la dzi. Nye dzi gbã, eye nye gbɔgbɔ bia be:
7 “Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?
“Ɖe Aƒetɔ la agbe ame tegbetegbea? Ɖe magave ame nu akpɔ oa?
8 Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?
Ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la vɔ tegbetegbea? Ɖe eƒe ŋugbedodo vɔ hena ɣeyiɣiawo katã?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?”
Ɖe Mawu ŋlɔ nublanuikpɔkpɔ bea? Ɖe wòɖo asi eƒe dɔmenyonyo dzi le dɔmedzoe ta?” (Sela)
10 So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
Tete megblɔ be, “Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe nuɖusi ƒe ƒewo ko maƒo koko na.”
11 I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
Maɖo ŋku Yehowa ƒe nuwɔwɔwo dzi, ɛ̃, maɖo ŋku nukunu siwo nèwɔ le blema la dzi.
12 I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.
Made ŋugble le wò dɔwɔwɔwo katã ŋu, eye mabu ta me le wò nuwɔwɔ dzɔatsuwo ŋu.
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
O! Mawu, wò mɔwo le kɔkɔe mawu kae lolo abe míaƒe Mawu la ene?
14 You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
Wòe nye Mawu si wɔ nukunuwo, eye nèɖe wò ŋusẽ fia le dukɔwo dome.
15 With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
Ètsɔ wò abɔ sesẽ la ɖe wò dukɔ la, ame siwo nye Yakob kple Yosef ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)
16 The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.
O! Mawu, tsiwo kpɔ wò, tsiwo kpɔ wò, eye woŋe, gogloƒewo ke hã dzo nyanyanya.
17 The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.
Lilikpo ɖuɖu tsi bababa, dziŋgɔli ɖe gbe, eye wò aŋutrɔwo klẽ dzo bibibi, yi gagbɔ.
18 Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
Wose wò gbeɖeɖe le yali me, wò dzikedzo klẽ ɖe xexea me, eye anyigba ʋuʋu hedzo nyanyanya.
19 Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.
Wò mɔ to atsiaƒu me, eye wò toƒe le tɔ gãwo me, gake womekpɔa wò afɔteƒe o.
20 You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Èkplɔ wò dukɔ abe alẽha ene, to Mose kple Aron ƒe asiwo dzi.
