Psalms 94
1 O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
O! Yehowa, Mawu si biaa hlɔ̃, O! Mawu si biaa hlɔ̃, klẽ.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
Tso, o xexea me ƒe Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la, ɖo nu si dadalawo wɔ la teƒe na wo.
3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
O! Yehowa, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi ame vɔ̃ɖi la atso aseye?
4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
Wole nya tovowo gblɔm, eye dada yɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo katã me fũu.
5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
O! Yehowa, wogbã wò dukɔ la nyanyanya, wote wò domenyinu la ɖe to.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
Wowu ahosiwo kple amedzrowo, eye wowu tsyɔ̃eviwo hã.
7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
Wogblɔ be, “Yehowa mele ekpɔm o, Yakob ƒe Mawu la metsɔ ɖeke le eme o.”
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
Mikpɔ nyuie, mi gegeme siwo le dukɔ la me, mi bometsilawo, ɣe ka ɣi miadze nunya?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Ɖe eya ame si wɔ to la mase nu oa? Ɖe eya ame si wɔ ŋku la makpɔ nu oa?
10 He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct — he that teacheth man knowledge?
Ɖe eya ame si hea to na dukɔwo la mahe to oa? Ɖe eya ame si fiaa nu ame la, ahiã na nunya?
11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Yehowa nya amegbetɔ ƒe susu, eye wònya be tofloko ko wònye.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
O, Yehowa, woayra ame si nèhe to na, ame si nèfia nui tso wò se la me,
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
eye nèna gbɔdzɔe tso dzɔgbevɔ̃eŋkekewo me, va se ɖe esime wòɖe ʋe na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo.
14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
Elabena Yehowa magbe eƒe dukɔ la o, eye magblẽ eƒe domenyinu ɖi o.
15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Woagaɖo ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ anyi ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye dzi, eye ame siwo katã ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la adze eyome.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
Ame ka atso ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋu nam? Ame ka atsi tsitre ɖe nu tovo wɔlawo ŋu ɖe nunye?
17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
Ɖe menye Yehowae kpe ɖe ŋunye o la, anye ne eteƒe madidi o la, manɔ ɖoɖoezizi me le tsiẽƒe.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
Esi medo ɣli be, “Nye afɔ le ɖiɖim” la, wò lɔlɔ̃, O! Yehowa, de megbe nam.
19 In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
Esi dzitsitsi yɔ menye la, wò akɔfaname he dzidzɔ vɛ na nye luʋɔ.
20 Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
Ɖe fiazikpui madzɔmadzɔ si hea hiãkame vɛ to eƒe sededewo me la ate ŋu ade ha kpli wòa?
21 They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
Wowɔa ɖeka ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu, eye wotsoa kufia na ame maɖifɔ.
22 But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
Gake Yehowae nye nye mɔ sesẽ, nye Mawu kple agakpe si nye nye sitsoƒe.
23 And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
Aɖo woƒe nu vɔ̃wo teƒe na wo, eye wòatsrɔ̃ wo le woƒe vɔ̃ɖinyenye ta, ɛ̃, Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la atsrɔ̃ wo.
