Psalms 81
1 Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself. Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
Asaf ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe gitit ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Midzi ha, mikpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe Mawu, míaƒe ŋusẽ la ŋu, eye mitso aseye kple ɣli ɖe Yakob ƒe Mawu la ŋu!
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
Mido ha ɖa, xatsɛwo neɖi, miƒo kasaŋku kple gakasaŋku siwo ƒe gbe me kɔ.
3 Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.
Miku lãdzokpẽwo le Dzinu Yeye dzi kple ne dzinu sɔ tegblẽe le míaƒe ŋkekenyuiɖugbe.
4 For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
Esia nye se na Israel kple ɖoɖo na Yakob ƒe Mawu la.
5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.
Esi Mawu tso ɖe Egiptetɔwo ŋu la, eɖoe anyi be wòanye se na Yosef, afi si míese gbegbɔgblɔ si gɔme míese o la le:
6 He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.
Egblɔ be, “Meɖe agba la ɖa le woƒe abɔta, eye woɖe woƒe asiwo ɖa le kusi la ŋuti.
7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
Mieyɔm le miaƒe xaxa me, eye mexɔ na mi. Metɔ na mi le dziɖegbelilikpo la me. Medo mi kpɔ le Meriba tsi la gbɔ. (Sela)
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,
Mísee, o nye dukɔ, maxlɔ̃ nu mi. O! Israel, nenye ɖe nàɖo tom ɖe!
9 There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
Dzromawu aɖeke maganɔ dowòme o; màgade ta agu na mawu tutɔ aɖeke o.
10 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, ame si kplɔ wò do goe tso Egipte. Ke wò nu baa, eye mana wòayɔ.
11 But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.
“Ke nye dukɔ meɖo to nye gbe o; Israel gbe, mebɔbɔ eɖokui nam o,
12 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.
eya ta meɖe asi le wo ŋu na woƒe dzi sesẽwo, ne woadze nu siwo woawo ŋutɔ ɖo la yome.
13 If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:
“Ɖe wònye nye dukɔ aɖo tom, eye Israel nazɔ nye mɔwo dzi la,
14 I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
aleke nyemahabɔbɔ woƒe futɔwo ɖe anyii kaba, eye nyemahakɔ nye asiwo dzi ɖe woƒe ketɔwo ŋui o!
15 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.
Ame siwo lé fu Yehowa la ada alakpa le eŋkume, eye woƒe tohehe anɔ anyi tegbee.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.
Ke míaɖu bliwɔ nyuitɔ, eye matsɔ kpetomenyitsi aɖi ƒoe na mi.”
