Psalms 50
1 “A psalm of Assaph.” The God of gods, the Lord, speaketh, and calleth the earth, from the rising of the sun unto his setting.
Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu ŋusẽtɔ, Yehowa ƒo nu heyɔ takpekpe na anyigba la tso agudzedze va se ɖe esime ɣe ɖo to.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shineth forth.
Mawu klẽ tso Zion le eƒe anidzedze blibo la me.
3 Our God is coming, and will not keep silence: a fire devoureth before him, and round him there rageth a mighty storm.
Míaƒe Mawu la gbɔna, ahom le tutum le eŋgɔ, dzo le nu bim le eŋgɔ, eye mazi ɖoɖoe o.
4 He will call to the heavens above, and to the earth, to judge his people.
Eɖi ʋɔnu, eye wòyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu eƒe dukɔ,
5 “Gather together unto me my pious servants, who make a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
“Miƒo nye ame kɔkɔewo nu ƒu nam, ame siwo bla nu kplim kple akpedavɔsa.”
6 And the heavens tell of his righteousness; for God is judge himself. (Selah)
Dziƒo ɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, elabena Mawu ŋutɔe nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la. (Sela)
7 “Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.
“See, o nye dukɔ, mele nu ƒo ge, O! Israel, maɖu ɖasefo ɖe ŋuwò, elabena nyee nye Mawu, wò Mawu la.
8 Not because of thy sacrifices will I reprove thee; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.
Nyemeka mo na wò ɖe wò akpedavɔsa alo numevɔsa siwo le ŋkunye me ɖaa la ta o.
9 I will not take a bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
Nyemehiã nyitsu tso wò nyikpo me, alo gbɔ̃wo tso wò gbɔ̃kpo me o,
10 For mine are all the beasts of the forest, the cattle upon a thousand mountains.
elabena avemelãwo katã tɔnye wonye, kple nyi siwo le togbɛ akpewo dzi.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: whatever moveth on the fields is with me.
Menya xevi ɖe sia ɖe si le towo dzi, eye nuwɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe si le gbe me la tɔnyee wonye.
12 If I were hungry, I would not say it to thee; for mine is the world, and what filleth it.
Ne dɔe le wuyem la, nyemagblɔe na wò o, elabena xexea me kple nu siwo katã le eme la nye tɔnye.
13 Do I eat the flesh of fatted bulls, or drink the blood of he-goats?
Ɖe meɖua nyilã alo noa gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋua?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay unto the Most High thy vows;
“Mitsɔ akpedavɔsawo na Mawu, eye mixe miaƒe adzɔgbeɖefewo na Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.
15 And call on me on the day of distress: I will deliver thee, — and so wilt thou glorify me.”
Miyɔm le xaxagbe, maɖe mi, eye miade bubu ŋutinye.”
16 But unto the wicked God saith, “What hast thou to do to relate my statutes, and why bearest thou my covenant upon thy mouth?
Ke Mawu le gbɔgblɔm na ame vɔ̃ɖi la be: “Mɔ ka nèkpɔ be nàxlẽ nye sewo afia, alo alé nye nubabla la ɖe nu?
17 And yet thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
Wò la èlé fu nye nufiame, eye nètsɔ nye nyawo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe.
18 When thou seest a thief, then art thou pleased with him, and with adulterers hast thou thy portion.
Ne èkpɔ fiafitɔ la, èwɔa ɖeka kplii, eye nèdea ha kple ahasitɔwo.
19 Thou lettest loose thy mouth with evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Nya vlowo doa go le nuwò, eye wò aɖe blea ame.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; against thy own mother's son thou utterest slander.
Ègblɔa nya tsia tsitre ɖe nɔviwò ŋu, eye nèƒoa ɖi dawòvi ŋutsu.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence: thou didst ween that I am like thyself; [but] I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thy eyes.”
Nu siawoe nye nu siwo nèwɔ hafi mezi ɖoɖoe, eye nèsusu be ɖeko mele abe ye ene, gake maka mo na wò, eye mado asi ɖe mo na wò.
22 Do but reflect on this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, with none to deliver.
“Bu esia ŋuti, wò ame si ŋlɔ Mawu be, ne menye nenema o la, mavuvu wò kakɛkakɛ, eye ame aɖeke maxɔ wò le asinye o.
23 Whoso offereth thanksgiving glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his course aright, will I show the salvation of God.
Ame si na akpedavɔsa la, de bubu ŋunye, eye wòta mɔ be mafia Mawu ƒe ɖeɖee.”
