Psalms 68
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David, a Song. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Him flee before Him.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Mawu tso, na wò futɔwo naka hlẽ, na wò ketɔwo nasi le nuwò.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
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 let the righteous be glad, let them exult before God; yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
Ke ame dzɔdzɔewo ya akpɔ dzidzɔ, atso aseye le Mawu ŋkume; na woakpɔ dzidzɔ, eye woatu aglo.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to His name; extol Him that rideth upon the skies, whose name is the LORD; and exult ye before Him.
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 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.
eya ame si nye tɔ na tɔmanɔsitɔwo, ahosiwo ta ʋlila, eye wònye Mawu si le enɔƒe kɔkɔe la.
6 God maketh the solitary to dwell in a house; He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; the rebellious dwell but in a parched land.
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 O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
O! Mawu, ne èdo dze wò dukɔ la ŋgɔ, hezɔ to gbegbe la, (Sela)
8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God; even yon Sinai trembled at the presence of 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 A bounteous rain didst Thou pour down, O God; when Thine inheritance was weary, Thou didst confirm it.
O! Mawu, èna tsi dza fũu, eye nèna wò domenyinu si nu ti kɔ na belibelibeli la gakpɔ ŋusẽ.
10 Thy flock settled therein; Thou didst prepare in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.
Mawu, wò amewo yi ɖanɔ edzi, eye tso wò nu gbogboawo me, èna nu ame dahewo.
11 The Lord giveth the word; the women that proclaim the tidings are a great host.
Aƒetɔ ɖe gbeƒã nya la, eye ameha gã aɖe do ɣli kplii be,
12 Kings of armies flee, they flee; and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
“Fiawo kple aʋakɔwo, misi kaba, elabena amewo le afunyinuwo ham le asaɖawo me.
13 When ye lie among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her pinions with the shimmer of gold.
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 When the Almighty scattereth kings therein, it snoweth in Zalmon.
Esi Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la kaka anyigbadzifiawo hlẽ la, enɔ abe tsikpee dza ɖe Zalmɔn dzi ene.
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
Basan towo ƒe dzedzeme kple kɔkɔme nya kpɔ ŋutɔ; to tsaklitsakliwo Basan toawo nye.
16 Why look ye askance, ye mountains of peaks, at the mountain which God hath desired for His abode? Yea, the LORD will dwell therein for ever.
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 The chariots of God are myriads, even thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in holiness.
Mawu ƒe tasiaɖamwo nye akpe nanewo kple akpe teƒe akpewo; Aƒetɔ la tso Sinai va ɖo eƒe teƒe kɔkɔe la.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive; Thou hast received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
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 Blessed be the Lord, day by day He beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Kafukafu woana Aƒetɔ, Mawu míaƒe Ɖela, ame si tsɔa míaƒe agbawo gbe sia gbe. (Sela)
20 God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues of death.
Míaƒe Mawu nye Mawu si xɔna na ame; ɖeɖe tso ku me vana to Aƒetɔ Yehowa ko dzi.
21 Surely God will smite through the head of His enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth about in his guiltiness.
Vavã, Mawu agbã ta na eƒe futɔwo kple dzodome na ame siwo gale woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi yim.
22 The Lord said: 'I will bring back from Bashan, I will bring them back 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 That thy foot may wade through blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.'
be nàklɔ afɔ ɖe wò futɔwo ƒe ʋu me, eye wò avuwo ƒe aɖewo hã nakpɔ wo tɔ gome.”
24 They see Thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, in holiness.
O! Mawu, wole míaƒe azɔlime kpɔm, wole ale si nye Mawu kple fianye zɔ ge ɖe kɔkɔeƒe lae la kpɔm.
25 The singers go before, the minstrels follow after, in the midst of damsels playing upon timbrels.
Woɖo ɖe fli me, hadzilawo le ŋgɔgbe, hafialawo ɖo, eye ɖetugbi siwo le axatsɛ ƒom la tsɔ wo ɖe dome.
26 'Bless ye God in full assemblies, even the Lord, ye that are from the fountain of Israel.'
Mikafu Mawu le ameha gã la dome. Mikafu Yehowa le Israelviwo ƒe takpekpe me.
27 There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah their council, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of 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 Thy God hath commanded thy strength; be strong, O God, Thou that hast wrought for us
O! Mawu, yɔ wò ŋusẽ vɛ; O! Mawu, ɖe wò ŋusẽ fia mí abe tsã ene.
29 Out of Thy temple at Jerusalem, whither kings shall bring presents unto Thee.
Le wò Yerusalem gbedoxɔ ta la, fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ na wò.
30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, every one submitting himself with pieces of silver; He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war!
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 Nobles shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands unto God.
Ame dɔdɔwo atso Egipte ava, eye Kus abɔbɔ eɖokui ɖe Mawu te.
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
O! Mi anyigbadzifiaɖuƒewo, midzi ha na Mawu, midzi kafukafuha na Aƒetɔ la, (Sela)
33 To Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which are of old; lo, He uttereth His voice, a mighty voice.
Eya ame si nɔ blemalilikpowo dzi, eye wòɖe gbe kple gbe sesẽ aɖe.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God; His majesty is over Israel, and His strength is in the skies.
Miɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ, ame si ƒe atsyɔ̃ le Israel dzi, eye eƒe ŋusẽ le dziŋgɔli ŋu.
35 Awful is God out of thy holy places; the God of Israel, He giveth strength and power unto the people; blessed be God.
O! Mawu, ŋɔdzi le ŋuwò le wò kɔkɔeƒe la; Israel ƒe Mawu la na ŋusẽ kple ŋutete eƒe dukɔ la. Woakafu Mawu!
