< Psalms 105 >
1 O give thanks unto YHWH; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
Mida akpe na Yehowa, miyɔ eƒe ŋkɔ, eye miɖe gbeƒã nu siwo wòwɔ la le dukɔwo dome.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Midzi ha nɛ, midzi kafukafuha nɛ, miɖe gbeƒã eƒe nukunuwɔwɔwo.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek YHWH.
Miƒo adegbe le eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la ŋu, mina ame siwo dia Yehowa la ƒe dzi natso aseye.
4 Seek YHWH, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
Midi Yehowa, mibia eƒe ŋusẽ, midi eƒe ŋkume ɖaa.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Miɖo ŋku nukunu siwo wòwɔ, eƒe dzesiwo kple eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃wo dzi.
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
O! Eƒe dɔla Abraham ƒe dzidzimeviwo. O! Yakob ƒe viwo, ame siwo wòtia.
7 He is YHWH our Elohim: his judgments are in all the earth.
Eyae nye Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la, eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ xɔ anyigba la katã dzi la me.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Eɖoa ŋku eƒe nubabla kple se siwo wòde na dzidzime akpewo la dzi ɖaa,
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
eyae nye nu si wòbla kple Abraham kple atam si wòka na Isak.
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
Eɖo kpe edzi na Yakob abe sedede ene, eye na Israel abe nubabla mavɔ ene be,
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
“Wòe matsɔ Kanaanyigba la na, abe wò domenyinu ene.”
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
Ke esi wonye ame ʋɛ aɖewo ko, womesɔ gbɔ o, eye wonye amedzrowo le anyigba dzi la,
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
wotsa tso dukɔ me yi dukɔ me, tso fiaɖuƒe ɖeka me yi bubu me.
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
Meɖe mɔ be ame aɖeke nate wo ɖe anyi o, le wo ta, wòka mo na fiawo be,
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
“Migaka asi nye amesiaminawo ŋu o, eye migawɔ nu vevi nye nyagblɔɖilawo o.”
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
Ena dɔ to ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye wògblẽ woƒe nuɖuɖukpɔtsoƒewo katã,
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
ke edɔ ŋutsu aɖe si woyɔna be Yosef, ame si wodzra abe kluvi ene la ɖe wo ŋgɔ.
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
Wode kunyowu afɔ nɛ, wode abi eŋu, eye wotsɔ gakɔsɔkɔsɔ de kɔ nɛ,
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of YHWH tried him.
va se ɖe esime nya si wògblɔ ɖi la va eme, eye va se ɖe esime Yehowa ƒe nya naɖo kpe edzi, be nya si wògblɔ la nye nyateƒe.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
Fia la dɔ ame woyi ɖaɖee le game, eye dukɔ la dziɖula na ablɔɖee.
21 He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
Etsɔe ɖo amegãe ɖe eƒe aƒe nu, eye wònye eƒe nunɔamesiwo katã dzikpɔla,
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
be wòade dɔ asi na eƒe dɔnunɔlawo ale si dze eŋu, eye wòafia nunya eƒe dumegãwo.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Ale Israel ge ɖe Egiptenyigba dzi, eye Yakob nɔ Hamnyigba dzi abe amedzro ene.
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
Yehowa na eƒe dukɔ la dzi ɖe edzi, eye wòna wosɔ gbɔ fũu akpa na woƒe futɔwo,
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
ame siwo ƒe dzi wòtrɔ be woalé fu eƒe dukɔ la, eye woaɖo nugbe ɖe eƒe dɔlawo ŋu.
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
Edɔ Mose, eƒe dɔla kple Aron, eƒe ame tiatia ɖa.
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
Wowɔ eƒe dzesi gãwo le wo dome kple eƒe nukunuwo le Hamnyigba dzi.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
Eɖo viviti ɖa, eye anyigba la dzi do blukɔ elabena ɖe wometsi tsitre ɖe eƒe nyawo ŋu oa?
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
Ena woƒe tsiwo trɔ zu ʋu, eye to esia me woƒe tɔmelãwo ku.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
Ena woƒe anyigba la dzi yɔ fũu kple akpɔkplɔwo, esiwo ge ɖe woƒe dumegãwo ƒe xɔgãwo me ke.
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
Eƒo nu, eye tagbatsutsu kple togbato ƒe ha gã aɖe va xɔ woƒe dukɔ la katã me.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
Etrɔ woƒe tsidzadza wòzu kpetsi, eye dzikedzo kpe ɖe eŋuti le woƒe anyigba blibo la dzi.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
Eƒo woƒe wainkawo kple gbotiwo ƒu anyi, eye wòmu ati siwo le woƒe dukɔ me la ƒu anyi.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
Eƒo nu, eye ʋetsuviwo va ƒo ɖi, nenema kee nye abɔ gbogbo aɖewo hã;
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
woɖu numiemie mumu ɖe sia ɖe le woƒe anyigba la dzi, eye woɖu nuku ɖe sia ɖe si le bo dzi hã.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
Emegbe la, eƒo ŋgɔgbevi siwo katã le woƒe anyigba dzi la ƒu anyi, esiwo nye woƒe ŋutsunyenye ƒe kutsetse gbãtɔwo.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Ke ekplɔ Israel do goe, wodo agba kple klosalo kple sika, eye ame beli aɖeke menɔ woƒe toawo dome o.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
Egipte kpɔ dzidzɔ esi wodo go dzo, elabena Israel ƒe ŋɔdzi lé wo.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
Ekeke lilikpo ɖe wo dzi abe avɔ ene, eye wòna dzo wo be wòanye akaɖi na wo le zã me.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Wobiae, eye wòna tegliwo woɖu, eye wòtsɔ dziƒobolo ɖi ƒo na woe.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
Eʋu agakpe la, tsi do na wo bababa, eye wòsi to gbegbe la abe tɔsisi ene.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
Elabena eɖo ŋku eƒe ŋugbe kɔkɔe si wòdo na eƒe dɔla Abraham la dzi.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
Ekplɔ eƒe dukɔ la do goe kple aseyetsotso, eƒe ame tiatiawo kple dzidzɔɣli.
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
Etsɔ dukɔwo ƒe anyigbawo na wo, eye nu si ame bubuwo ku kutri kpɔ la va zu domenyinu na wo.
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye YHWH.
Ale be woalé eƒe ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye woawɔ eƒe sewo dzi. Mikafu Yehowa.
