< Psalms 83 >

1 A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
Asaf ƒe ha. O! Mawu, mègazi kpi o, O! Mawu, mègazi ɖoɖoe o, mèganɔ anyi kpoo o.
2 For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
Kpɔ ale si wò futɔwo le nyanyram ɖa, kpɔ ale si wò ketɔwo kɔ ta dzii ɖa.
3 They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
Wole nu baɖa ɖom ɖe wò dukɔ ŋu le ayeme, eye woɖo nugbe ɖe ame siwo nèlɔ̃na la ŋu.
4 They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'
Wogblɔ be, “Miva, míatsrɔ̃ wo, be womaganye dukɔ o, eye womagaɖo ŋku Israel ƒe ŋkɔ dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
5 For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;
Wotsɔ tameɖoɖo ɖeka de adaŋu, eye wobla ɖe ŋuwò,
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
ame siwo le Edom ƒe agbadɔwo me, Ismaelitɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Hagritɔwo,
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Gebalitɔwo, Amonviwo, Amalekitɔwo, Filistitɔwo kple ame siwo tso Tiro.
8 Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)
Asiria gɔ̃ hã kpe ɖe wo ŋu, be wòado alɔ Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)
9 Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
Wɔ wo abe ale si nèwɔ Midian, Sisera kple Yabin le Kison tɔsisi la to ene,
10 Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
ame siwo tsrɔ̃ le Endor, eye wole abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene le anyigba.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
Wɔ woƒe bubumewo abe Oreb kple Zeb ene, eye woƒe dumegãwo abe Zeba kple Zalmuna ene,
12 Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
ame siwo gblɔ be, “Mina míaxɔ Mawu ƒe lãnyiƒewo.”
13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
O! Nye Mawu, wɔ wo abe betsyo kple blitsa si ya lɔ ɖe nu ene.
14 As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
Abe ale si dzo biaa ave, alo dzo ƒe aɖe tɔa dzo towo ene la,
15 So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
nenemae nàti wo yomee kple wò ya sesẽ, eye nàdo ŋɔdzi na wo kple wò ahom.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
Tsɔ ŋukpe tsyɔ mo na wo, ale be amewo nadi wò ŋkɔ, O Yehowa.
17 Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
Na ŋukpe nalé wo, woƒe mo natsi dãa, eye wonetsrɔ̃ le ŋukpe me.
18 That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
Na woanya be wò, ame si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa la, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
