Psalms 85
1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.
Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, èɖe amenuveve fia wò anyigba; ègaɖo Yakob ƒe nunyonamewo te.
2 The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah)
Ètsɔ wò dukɔ la ƒe vodada kee, eye nètsyɔ nu woƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã dzi. (Sela)
3 You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
Èɖe asi le wò dzikudodo helĩhelĩ ŋuti eye nèdzudzɔ dɔmedzoe kaɖikaɖi dodo.
4 Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
O! Mawu, míaƒe Ɖela, gaɖo mí te, míaƒe nu meganɔ dzi kum na wò o.
5 Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
Ɖe nàdo dɔmedzoe ɖe mía ŋu ɖikaa? Ɖe nàdidi wò dɔmedzoe la wòazɔ ato dzidzimewo katã mea?
6 Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
Màgagbɔ agbe mí, be wò dukɔ nàkpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe ŋuwò oa?
7 Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.
O! Yehowa, ɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la fia mí, eye nàna wò xɔname mí.
8 I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.
Maɖo to ase nya si Yehowa Mawu agblɔ; edo ŋutifafa ƒe ŋugbe na eƒe dukɔ, eƒe ame kɔkɔewo, gake ɖeko mègana woatrɔ ayi bometsitsi gbɔ o.
9 Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.
Vavã eƒe ɖeɖe tsɔ ɖe ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la gbɔ, ale be eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nanɔ míaƒe anyigba dzi.
10 Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.
Lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ do go wo nɔewo, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ŋutifafa gbugbɔ nu na wo nɔewo.
11 Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.
Nuteƒewɔwɔ mie tso anyigba me, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye do mo ɖa kpɔ anyigba tso dziƒo.
12 The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.
Yehowa ana nu si nyo la mí vavã, eye míaƒe anyigba atse eƒe ku.
13 Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.
Dzɔdzɔenyenye le eŋgɔ, eye wòle mɔ tam na eƒe afɔtoƒewo.
