Psalms 83
1 Keep not thou silence, O El: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O Elohim.
Asaf ƒe ha. O! Mawu, mègazi kpi o, O! Mawu, mègazi ɖoɖoe o, mèganɔ anyi kpoo o.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: 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 have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden 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: they are confederate against thee:
Wotsɔ tameɖoɖo ɖeka de adaŋu, eye wobla ɖe ŋuwò,
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
ame siwo le Edom ƒe agbadɔwo me, Ismaelitɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Hagritɔwo,
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Gebalitɔwo, Amonviwo, Amalekitɔwo, Filistitɔwo kple ame siwo tso Tiro.
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)
Asiria gɔ̃ hã kpe ɖe wo ŋu, be wòado alɔ Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
Wɔ wo abe ale si nèwɔ Midian, Sisera kple Yabin le Kison tɔsisi la to ene,
10 Which perished at Endor: 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 like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
Wɔ woƒe bubumewo abe Oreb kple Zeb ene, eye woƒe dumegãwo abe Zeba kple Zalmuna ene,
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of Elohim in possession.
ame siwo gblɔ be, “Mina míaxɔ Mawu ƒe lãnyiƒewo.”
13 O my Elohim, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
O! Nye Mawu, wɔ wo abe betsyo kple blitsa si ya lɔ ɖe nu ene.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
Abe ale si dzo biaa ave, alo dzo ƒe aɖe tɔa dzo towo ene la,
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid 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 YHWH.
Tsɔ ŋukpe tsyɔ mo na wo, ale be amewo nadi wò ŋkɔ, O Yehowa.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
Na ŋukpe nalé wo, woƒe mo natsi dãa, eye wonetsrɔ̃ le ŋukpe me.
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is YHWH, art 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.
