Psalms 66
1 To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:
Ha na hɛnɔ la. Mi anyigbawo katã mido ɣli, mitso aseye ɖe Mawu ŋu!
2 Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.
Midzi eƒe ŋkɔ ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe ha; mikafu Mawu ƒe gãnyenye!
3 Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.
Migblɔ na Mawu be, “Wò dɔwɔwɔwo dziŋɔ loo! Wò ŋusẽ tri akɔ ale gbegbe be, wò futɔwo de ta agu na wò.
4 Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah)
Anyigba la katã de ta agu na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò ŋkɔ.” (Sela)
5 Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.
Va, nàkpɔ nu si Mawu wɔ, ale si le amegbetɔwo ta wòwɔ ŋɔdzidɔ geɖewo!
6 The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.
Etrɔ atsiaƒu wòzu anyigba ƒuƒui, wozɔ afɔ to tsi la titina; miva míatso aseye le eya amea me.
7 He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah)
Ele fia ɖum kple eƒe ŋusẽ tegbee, eƒe ŋku le dukɔwo ta kpɔm, aglãdzela aɖeke megatso ɖe eŋuti o. (Sela)
8 Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;
O! Mi dukɔwo, mikafu míaƒe Mawu la; mina eƒe kafukafu nade dzi woase.
9 Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.
Eyae kpɔ míaƒe agbe ta, eye mena míaƒe afɔ ɖiɖi o.
10 For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.
Elabena O Mawu, wòe do mí kpɔ, wòe lolõ mí abe klosalo ene.
11 You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.
Wòe de mí gaxɔ me, eye nèdo agba ɖe megbe na mí.
12 You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.
Èna amewo zɔ míaƒe ta dzi, eye míeto dzo me kple tɔ me, gake èkplɔ mí va anyigba si dzi nuwo do agbogbo ɖo fũu.
13 I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,
Mava wò gbedoxɔ me kple numevɔsa, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo na wò,
14 Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.
adzɔgbe siwo nye nuyi ɖe, eye nye nu ɖe gbeƒã wo, esi meɖo xaxa me.
15 I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah)
Matsɔ lã damiwo kple agbowo asa numevɔe na wò, hekpe ɖe nyitsuwo kple gbɔ̃wo ŋuti. (Sela)
16 Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.
Miva se, mí ame siwo katã vɔ̃a Mawu; mina magblɔ nu siwo wòwɔ nam la na mi.
17 My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.
Metsɔ nye nu do ɣli nɛ, eƒe kafukafu le nye aɖe dzi.
18 I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:
Ɖe mena nɔƒe nu vɔ̃ le nye dzi me la, ne Aƒetɔ la meɖo tom o,
19 But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.
gake Mawu ɖo tom vavã, eye wòse nye gbe le gbedodoɖa me.
20 Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
Woakafu Mawu, ame si medo toku nye gbedodoɖa, alo te eƒe lɔlɔ̃ ɖa le gbɔnye o!
