Psalms 81
1 Sing aloud unto Elohim our strength: make a joyful noise unto the Elohim of Jacob.
Asaf ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe gitit ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Midzi ha, mikpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe Mawu, míaƒe ŋusẽ la ŋu, eye mitso aseye kple ɣli ɖe Yakob ƒe Mawu la ŋu!
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Mido ha ɖa, xatsɛwo neɖi, miƒo kasaŋku kple gakasaŋku siwo ƒe gbe me kɔ.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Miku lãdzokpẽwo le Dzinu Yeye dzi kple ne dzinu sɔ tegblẽe le míaƒe ŋkekenyuiɖugbe.
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the Elohim of Jacob.
Esia nye se na Israel kple ɖoɖo na Yakob ƒe Mawu la.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
Esi Mawu tso ɖe Egiptetɔwo ŋu la, eɖoe anyi be wòanye se na Yosef, afi si míese gbegbɔgblɔ si gɔme míese o la le:
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
Egblɔ be, “Meɖe agba la ɖa le woƒe abɔta, eye woɖe woƒe asiwo ɖa le kusi la ŋuti.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Mieyɔm le miaƒe xaxa me, eye mexɔ na mi. Metɔ na mi le dziɖegbelilikpo la me. Medo mi kpɔ le Meriba tsi la gbɔ. (Sela)
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
Mísee, o nye dukɔ, maxlɔ̃ nu mi. O! Israel, nenye ɖe nàɖo tom ɖe!
9 There shall no strange elohim be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange el.
Dzromawu aɖeke maganɔ dowòme o; màgade ta agu na mawu tutɔ aɖeke o.
10 I am YHWH thy Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, ame si kplɔ wò do goe tso Egipte. Ke wò nu baa, eye mana wòayɔ.
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
“Ke nye dukɔ meɖo to nye gbe o; Israel gbe, mebɔbɔ eɖokui nam o,
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
eya ta meɖe asi le wo ŋu na woƒe dzi sesẽwo, ne woadze nu siwo woawo ŋutɔ ɖo la yome.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
“Ɖe wònye nye dukɔ aɖo tom, eye Israel nazɔ nye mɔwo dzi la,
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
aleke nyemahabɔbɔ woƒe futɔwo ɖe anyii kaba, eye nyemahakɔ nye asiwo dzi ɖe woƒe ketɔwo ŋui o!
15 The haters of YHWH should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
Ame siwo lé fu Yehowa la ada alakpa le eŋkume, eye woƒe tohehe anɔ anyi tegbee.
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
Ke míaɖu bliwɔ nyuitɔ, eye matsɔ kpetomenyitsi aɖi ƒoe na mi.”
