< Psalms 148 >
1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
Mikafu Yehowa. Mikafu Yehowa tso dziƒowo, mikafui le kɔkɔƒewo le dzi me.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
Mi eƒe dɔlawo katã mikafui, dziƒoʋakɔwo hã mikafui.
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
Ɣe kple ɣleti nekafui, mikafui, mi ɣletivi keklẽwo.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
Mi dziƒo kɔkɔtɔwo, mikafui, eye mi tsi siwo le alilĩa tame hã mikafui.
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:
Wo katã nekafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, elabena eɖe gbe, eye wova dzɔ.
6 And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
Etsɔ wo ɖo wo nɔƒe tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, ede se si nu mayi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Mikafu Yehowa tso anyigba, mi nuwɔwɔ gã siwo le atsiaƒu me kple gogloƒewo katã.
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;
Dzikedzo kple kpetsi, tsikpe kple lilikpowo, ahomya si wɔ eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu,
9 Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;
mi towo kple togbɛwo katã, atikutsetsetiwo kple sedatiwo katã,
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
gbemelãwo kple nyiwo katã, nuwɔwɔ suewo kple xe dzodzoewo,
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
anyigbadzifiawo kple dukɔwo katã, mi dumegãwo kple dziɖula siwo katã le anyigba dzi,
12 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —
ɖekakpuiwo kple ɖetugbiwo, ame tsitsiwo kple ɖeviwo siaa nekafui.
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.
Mikafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, elabena eƒe ŋkɔ ɖeɖe koe de dzi, eye eƒe atsyɔ̃ le anyigba kple dziƒowo tame.
14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
Ena dzo aɖe do na eƒe dukɔ, esi nye Israel, eƒe ame kɔkɔewo katã ƒe kafukafu, ame siwo tsɔ ɖe eƒe dzi gbɔ. Mikafu Yehowa.
