Psalms 85

1 To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:

Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, èɖe amenuveve fia wò anyigba; ègaɖo Yakob ƒe nunyonamewo te.

2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)

Ètsɔ wò dukɔ la ƒe vodada kee, eye nètsyɔ nu woƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã dzi. (Sela)

3 Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.

Èɖe asi le wò dzikudodo helĩhelĩ ŋuti eye nèdzudzɔ dɔmedzoe kaɖikaɖi dodo.

4 Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

O! Mawu, míaƒe Ɖela, gaɖo mí te, míaƒe nu meganɔ dzi kum na wò o.

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?

Ɖe nàdo dɔmedzoe ɖe mía ŋu ɖikaa? Ɖe nàdidi wò dɔmedzoe la wòazɔ ato dzidzimewo katã mea?

6 Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Màgagbɔ agbe mí, be wò dukɔ nàkpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe ŋuwò oa?

7 Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.

O! Yehowa, ɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la fia mí, eye nàna wò xɔname mí.

8 I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly.

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 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Vavã eƒe ɖeɖe tsɔ ɖe ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la gbɔ, ale be eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nanɔ míaƒe anyigba dzi.

10 Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other:

Lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ do go wo nɔewo, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ŋutifafa gbugbɔ nu na wo nɔewo.

11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.

Nuteƒewɔwɔ mie tso anyigba me, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye do mo ɖa kpɔ anyigba tso dziƒo.

12 Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.

Yehowa ana nu si nyo la mí vavã, eye míaƒe anyigba atse eƒe ku.

13 Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.

Dzɔdzɔenyenye le eŋgɔ, eye wòle mɔ tam na eƒe afɔtoƒewo.
