< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
Mikafu Yehowa. Mikafu Yehowa tso dziƒowo, mikafui le kɔkɔƒewo le dzi me.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
Mi eƒe dɔlawo katã mikafui, dziƒoʋakɔwo hã mikafui.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Ɣe kple ɣleti nekafui, mikafui, mi ɣletivi keklẽwo.
4 Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
Mi dziƒo kɔkɔtɔwo, mikafui, eye mi tsi siwo le alilĩa tame hã mikafui.
5 Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
Wo katã nekafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, elabena eɖe gbe, eye wova dzɔ.
6 He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
Etsɔ wo ɖo wo nɔƒe tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, ede se si nu mayi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
Mikafu Yehowa tso anyigba, mi nuwɔwɔ gã siwo le atsiaƒu me kple gogloƒewo katã.
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
Dzikedzo kple kpetsi, tsikpe kple lilikpowo, ahomya si wɔ eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu,
9 Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
mi towo kple togbɛwo katã, atikutsetsetiwo kple sedatiwo katã,
10 wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
gbemelãwo kple nyiwo katã, nuwɔwɔ suewo kple xe dzodzoewo,
11 earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
anyigbadzifiawo kple dukɔwo katã, mi dumegãwo kple dziɖula siwo katã le anyigba dzi,
12 young men and women, old people and children—
ɖekakpuiwo kple ɖetugbiwo, ame tsitsiwo kple ɖeviwo siaa nekafui.
13 Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
Mikafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, elabena eƒe ŋkɔ ɖeɖe koe de dzi, eye eƒe atsyɔ̃ le anyigba kple dziƒowo tame.
14 He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
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.
