< Psalms 104 >

1 Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.
O! Luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa. O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, èlolo loo; èɖo atsyɔ̃, eye nèta gãnyenye.
2 You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain:
Etsyɔ kekeli abe avɔ ene, ehe dziƒo me abe avɔgbadɔ ene,
3 The arch of your house is based on the waters; you make the clouds your carriage; you go on the wings of the wind:
eye wòɖo eƒe dziƒoxɔwo ƒe sɔtiwo ƒe agunu anyi ɖe woƒe tsiwo dzi. Etsɔ lilikpowo wɔ eƒe tasiaɖam, eye wònɔ ya ƒe aʋalawo dzi.
4 He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants.
Yae nye eƒe dɔtsɔlawo, eye dzo ƒe aɖewo nye eƒe dɔlawo.
5 He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;
Eɖo anyigba anyi ɖe eƒe gɔmeɖokpe dzi, eya ta maʋã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
6 Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;
Ètsɔ gogloƒewo tsyɔ nɛ abe avɔ ene, eye tsiawo tɔ ɖe toawo tame.
7 At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear;
Ke esi nèblu la, tsiawo si, eye esi nèɖe gbe la, wolé du tsɔ.
8 The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them.
Wosi to towo tame, heva to balimewo, va ɖo teƒe si nètia na wo la.
9 You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them.
Èɖo liƒo si dzi womate ŋu adze to o la na wo, eye womagakaka axɔ anyigba dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
10 You sent the springs into the valleys; they are flowing between the hills.
Ena tsitsetsewo kɔ ɖe agawo me, eye wosi to towo dome.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the mountain asses come to them for water.
Wonaa tsi gbemelãwo, eye wotsia gbetedziwo ƒe tsikɔwuame nu.
12 The birds of the air have their resting-places by them, and make their song among the branches.
Dziƒoxeviwo wɔa atɔ ɖe tsisisiawo to, eye wodzia ha le atilɔwo dzi.
13 He sends down rain from his store-houses on the hills: the earth is full of the fruit of his works.
Edea tsi towo tso eƒe xɔ dzigbemetɔ me; eƒe dɔ ƒe kutsetse ɖia ƒo na anyigba.
14 He makes the grass come up for the cattle, and plants for the use of man; so that bread may come out of the earth;
Ena gbe mie na nyihawo, eye wòƒãa nuku na amegbetɔ be wòaxa, ale wòna nuɖuɖu do tso anyigba la me na wo;
15 And wine to make glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shining, and bread giving strength to his heart.
wain si doa dzidzɔ na ame ƒe dzi, ami si ana be eƒe mo nanɔ keklẽm kple abolo si alé eƒe dzi ɖe te.
16 The trees of the Lord are full of growth, the cedars of Lebanon of his planting;
Wode tsi Yehowa ƒe atiawo nyuie, Lebanon ƒe sedati siwo wòdo.
17 Where the birds have their resting-places; as for the stork, the tall trees are her house.
Afi mae xeviwo wɔ woƒe atɔwo ɖo, eye aŋɔɣi wɔ eƒe nɔƒe ɖe gbotiwo me.
18 The high hills are a safe place for the mountain goats, and the rocks for the small beasts.
To kɔkɔwo nye gbemegbɔ̃wo tɔ, eye agakpewo tome zu bebeƒe na hlɔ̃madɛwo.
19 He made the moon for a sign of the divisions of the year; teaching the sun the time of its going down.
Ɣleti dea vovototo ɣeyiɣiwo dome, eye ɣe nya ɣeyiɣi si wòaɖo to.
20 When you make it dark, it is night, when all the beasts of the woods come quietly out of their secret places.
Ètsɔ viviti vɛ, eye wòzu zã, ale lã siwo katã le ave me la doa go.
21 The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God.
Dzatawo ɖea gbe na nuléle, eye wodia woƒe nuɖuɖu tso Mawu gbɔ.
22 The sun comes up, and they come together, and go back to their secret places to take their rest.
Ɣe dzena, eye wotrɔna dzona ɖamlɔa woƒe dowo me.
23 Man goes out to his work, and to his business, till the evening.
Tete ame do go yi dɔ me, yi ɖe eƒe dɔ gbɔ va se ɖe fiẽ.
24 O Lord, how great is the number of your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of the things you have made.
O! Yehowa, wò dɔwɔwɔwo sɔ gbɔ loo! Èwɔ wo katã le nunya deto me, anyigba dzi yɔ fũu kple wò nuwɔwɔwo.
25 There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered.
Atsiaƒue nye ekem, elolo hekeke, lã siwo mele xexlẽme o la yɔe, nenema kee nye nu gbagbe bubuwo hã, suewo kple gãwo siaa.
26 There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything.
Meliwo zɔa edzi yina, gagbɔna, eye afii mae boso si nèwɔ la hã le.
27 All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time.
Esiawo katã le asiwò nu kpɔm be nàna nuɖuɖu yewo le wo naɣi.
28 They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand.
Ne èna wo la, woƒonɛ ƒu; eye ne èʋu wò asi la, ètsɔa nu nyui ɖia ƒo na wo.
29 If your face is veiled, they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they come to an end, and go back to the dust.
Ke ne èɣla wò mo la, ŋɔdzi léa wo, eye ne èxɔ woƒe gbɔgbɔ le wo si la, wokuna, trɔna zua kewɔ.
30 If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth.
Ne èdɔ wò Gbɔgbɔ ɖa la, wodzɔna, eye nèwɔa anyigba ƒe ŋkume yeyee.
31 Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works:
Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nenɔ anyi tegbee. Yehowa nekpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ŋu,
32 At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke.
eya ame si do mo ɖe anyigba dzi, eye anyigba dzo nyanyanya; eya ame si ka asi towo ŋu, eye wotu dzudzɔ.
33 I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
Madzi ha na Yehowa le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me, eye zi ale si mele agbe la, madzi kafukafuha na nye Mawu la.
34 Let my thoughts be sweet to him: I will be glad in the Lord.
Nye ŋugbledede nedze eŋu, esi mele dzidzɔ kpɔm le Yehowa me.
35 Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord.
Ke nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo netsrɔ̃ ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo maganɔ anyi o. O! Luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa. Mikafu Yehowa.
