Psalms 68
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. A song. Stand up, God, and scatter your enemies. Let those who hate him run away from him!
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Mawu tso, na wò futɔwo naka hlẽ, na wò ketɔwo nasi le nuwò.
2 Blow them away as if they were smoke; melt them like beeswax in a fire. Let the wicked die in God's presence.
Gbɔ wo ɖa abe ale si ya gbɔa dzudzɔ dzonae ene. Abe ale si yɔkumi lolõna le dzo nu ene la, nenema ame vɔ̃ɖiwo atsrɔ̃e le Mawu ŋkume.
3 But those who are right with God are happy, and they celebrate in God's presence, full of joy.
Ke ame dzɔdzɔewo ya akpɔ dzidzɔ, atso aseye le Mawu ŋkume; na woakpɔ dzidzɔ, eye woatu aglo.
4 Sing praises to God! Sing praises to his wonderful reputation! Praise the rider of the clouds—his name is the Lord! Be happy in his presence!
Midzi ha na Mawu, midzi kafukafuha na eƒe ŋkɔ, mido ame si le lilikpowo dzi gbɔna la ɖe dzi, eŋkɔe nye Yehowa, eye mitso aseye le eŋgɔ;
5 He is a father to the orphans, a protector of widows. This is who God is, who lives in his holy place.
eya ame si nye tɔ na tɔmanɔsitɔwo, ahosiwo ta ʋlila, eye wònye Mawu si le enɔƒe kɔkɔe la.
6 God gives those who are abandoned a family to live with. He sets prisoners free with celebration. But those who rebel live in a desert wasteland.
Mawu kplɔa ame siwo tsi akogo la dea ƒomewo me, enana ablɔɖe gamenɔlawo, eye wodzia dzidzɔhawo. Ke ame dzeaglãwo la, egblẽa wo ɖe kuɖiɖinyigba dzi.
7 God, when you led your people out, when you marched through the desert, (Selah)
O! Mawu, ne èdo dze wò dukɔ la ŋgɔ, hezɔ to gbegbe la, (Sela)
8 the earth quaked, and the heavens shook before God, the one of Sinai; before God, the God of Israel.
anyigba ʋuʋu, dziƒowo dza tsi bɔbɔbɔ le Mawu, si nɔ Sinai la ŋkume, le Mawu, Israel ƒe Mawu la ŋkume.
9 You sent plenty of rain to water the promised land; refreshing it when it was dry.
O! Mawu, èna tsi dza fũu, eye nèna wò domenyinu si nu ti kɔ na belibelibeli la gakpɔ ŋusẽ.
10 Your people settled there, and because of your kindness, God, you looked after the poor. (Selah)
Mawu, wò amewo yi ɖanɔ edzi, eye tso wò nu gbogboawo me, èna nu ame dahewo.
11 The Lord gives the command, and a great army of women spread the good news.
Aƒetɔ ɖe gbeƒã nya la, eye ameha gã aɖe do ɣli kplii be,
12 The kings of the foreign armies are quick to run away, and the women who stayed at home divide the plunder!
“Fiawo kple aʋakɔwo, misi kaba, elabena amewo le afunyinuwo ham le asaɖawo me.
13 Why are you staying at home? There are ornaments in the shape of a dove with wings of silver and feathers of fine gold to be taken.
Esi miele alɔ̃ dɔm le lãkpowo dome la, wotsɔ klosalo fa ɖe nye ahɔnɛ ƒe aʋala ŋu, eye wotsɔ sika si le keklẽm la fa ɖe eƒe fuwo ŋuti.”
14 The Almighty scattered the foreign kings like a snowstorm on Mount Zalmon.
Esi Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la kaka anyigbadzifiawo hlẽ la, enɔ abe tsikpee dza ɖe Zalmɔn dzi ene.
15 “Mountain of God,” Mount Bashan, with your many high peaks, Mount Bashan,
Basan towo ƒe dzedzeme kple kɔkɔme nya kpɔ ŋutɔ; to tsaklitsakliwo Basan toawo nye.
16 why do you look enviously, mountain with many peaks, at the mountain God chose as his home, where the Lord will live forever?
O! To tsaklitsakliwo, nu ka ta mietsɔ ŋuʋaʋã ƒe ŋku le to si Mawu tia be wòanye yeƒe fiazikpui ƒe nɔƒe kple Yehowa ŋutɔ ƒe nɔƒe tegbee la kpɔmii?
17 God's chariots can't be counted; there are thousands and thousands of them. He comes among them from Sinai into his Temple.
Mawu ƒe tasiaɖamwo nye akpe nanewo kple akpe teƒe akpewo; Aƒetɔ la tso Sinai va ɖo eƒe teƒe kɔkɔe la.
18 As you ascended to your high throne you led a procession of prisoners. You received gifts from the people, even from those who had rebelled against the home of the Lord God.
Esi nèlia yi dzi la, ètɔ ka aboyomewo hekplɔ dzoe, èxɔ nunana tso amewo gbɔ, tso aglãdzelawo gɔ̃ hã gbɔ, be wò, O! Yehowa Mawu, àte ŋu anɔ afi ma.
19 May the Lord be blessed, for every day he carries our burdens. God is our salvation. (Selah)
Kafukafu woana Aƒetɔ, Mawu míaƒe Ɖela, ame si tsɔa míaƒe agbawo gbe sia gbe. (Sela)
20 For us, God is a God who saves. The Lord God provides our escape from death.
Míaƒe Mawu nye Mawu si xɔna na ame; ɖeɖe tso ku me vana to Aƒetɔ Yehowa ko dzi.
21 But God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy heads of those who continue to sin.
Vavã, Mawu agbã ta na eƒe futɔwo kple dzodome na ame siwo gale woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi yim.
22 The Lord says, “I will drag them down from Bashan; I will drag them up from the depths of the sea,
Aƒetɔ la gblɔ be, “Makplɔ wo vɛ tso Basan; makplɔ wo ado goe tso atsiaƒu ƒe gogloƒe ke,
23 so that you may walk in their blood. Even your dogs will have their share of your enemies.”
be nàklɔ afɔ ɖe wò futɔwo ƒe ʋu me, eye wò avuwo ƒe aɖewo hã nakpɔ wo tɔ gome.”
24 People watch your processions, God—the processions of my God and King as they go into the Temple.
O! Mawu, wole míaƒe azɔlime kpɔm, wole ale si nye Mawu kple fianye zɔ ge ɖe kɔkɔeƒe lae la kpɔm.
25 The singers are at the front, the musicians at the back, and in the middle girls playing tambourines.
Woɖo ɖe fli me, hadzilawo le ŋgɔgbe, hafialawo ɖo, eye ɖetugbi siwo le axatsɛ ƒom la tsɔ wo ɖe dome.
26 Praise God, everyone who has come to worship; praise the Lord, everyone who belongs to Israel.
Mikafu Mawu le ameha gã la dome. Mikafu Yehowa le Israelviwo ƒe takpekpe me.
27 There is the little tribe of Benjamin, followed by the many leaders from Judah; then come the leaders of Zebulun and Naphtali.
Kpɔ ɖa, Benyamin ƒe to si nye suetɔ lae le ŋgɔ na wo, Yuda ƒe dumegã gbogboawo le afi ma, eye Zebulon kple Naftali ƒe amegãwo hã le afi ma.
28 Display your power, God! Reveal your strength, Lord, as you have done for us in the past.
O! Mawu, yɔ wò ŋusẽ vɛ; O! Mawu, ɖe wò ŋusẽ fia mí abe tsã ene.
29 Because of your Temple in Jerusalem, kings bring tribute to you.
Le wò Yerusalem gbedoxɔ ta la, fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ na wò.
30 Condemn the beasts of the reeds, the bulls and calves! May they be humbled and bring bars of silver in tribute! Scatter the war-loving nations!
Blu ɖe lã wɔadã siwo le aƒlawo me kple nyitsuwo ƒe ha siwo le dukɔwo ƒe nyiviwo dome la ta. Netsɔ klosalokɔ gãwo vɛ le ɖokuibɔbɔ me. Kaka dukɔ siwo aʋawɔwɔ doa dzidzɔ na.
31 Let Egypt come with bronze gifts; let Ethiopia come quickly and hand over their tributes to God!
Ame dɔdɔwo atso Egipte ava, eye Kus abɔbɔ eɖokui ɖe Mawu te.
32 Sing to God, kingdoms of the earth, sing praises to the Lord. (Selah)
O! Mi anyigbadzifiaɖuƒewo, midzi ha na Mawu, midzi kafukafuha na Aƒetɔ la, (Sela)
33 Sing to the rider of the ancient heavens, his strong voice sounding like thunder!
Eya ame si nɔ blemalilikpowo dzi, eye wòɖe gbe kple gbe sesẽ aɖe.
34 Let everyone know of God's power: how his majesty extends over Israel, how his strength is revealed in the heavens.
Miɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ, ame si ƒe atsyɔ̃ le Israel dzi, eye eƒe ŋusẽ le dziŋgɔli ŋu.
35 How awesome is God in his Temple! The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people! Praise God!
O! Mawu, ŋɔdzi le ŋuwò le wò kɔkɔeƒe la; Israel ƒe Mawu la na ŋusẽ kple ŋutete eƒe dukɔ la. Woakafu Mawu!
