Psalms 76

1 For the leader. With instrumental music. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself known in Judah, his name is great in Israel.

Asaf ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. Wonya Mawu le Yuda, eye eƒe ŋkɔ lolo le Israel.

2 His tent is in Salem, his dwelling in Zion.

Eƒe agbadɔ le Salem, eye eƒe nɔƒe le Zion.

3 There he broke the lightning arrows, shield, sword, and weapons of war. (Selah)

Afi ma wòŋe aŋutrɔ bibiwo, akpoxɔnuwo kple yiwo le, nu siwo nye aʋawɔnuwo. (Sela)

4 Terrible is your splendour on the everlasting mountains.

Keklẽ geɖe ƒo xlã wò, eye nènya kpɔ sãsãsã wu to siwo me adelã le fũu la.

5 Despoiled were the stout of heart; in the sleep into which they had fallen, none of the warriors could lift a hand.

Woha kalẽtɔwo, wodɔ woƒe alɔ̃ mamlɛtɔ; aʋawɔla siawo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ hã magate ŋu akɔ eƒe asiwo dzi o.

6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, sank chariot and horse to sleep.

O! Yakob ƒe Mawu, esi nèblu ko la, sɔ kple tasiaɖam siaa tɔ ɖe teƒe ɖeka.

7 Awful are you: who can stand before you, when once you are angry?

Wò ko wòle be woavɔ̃. Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe nuwò ne èdo dɔmedzoe?

8 The judgment you gave from heaven frightened the earth into silence,

Èɖe gbeƒã wò afiatsotso tso dziƒo, anyigba vɔ̃, eye wòzi ɖoɖoe.

9 when God arose to judgment to save the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

O! Mawu, esi nètso be yeatso afia, aɖe anyigba la ƒe hiãtɔwo la, nu sia nu zi ɖoɖoe. (Sela)

10 The fiercest will praise you, to you will the remnant hold festival.

Vavã, wò dziku helĩhelĩ ɖe amewo ŋu, he kafukafu vɛ na wò, eye ame siwo tsi agbe le wò dziku la megbe la dze akɔ anyi.

11 Vow and pay to Lord your God, and let all who are round him bring presents.

Miɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, eye mixe adzɔgbeɖefeawo; anyigba siwo katã ƒo xlã mi la netsɔ nunanawo vɛ na Ame si wòle be woavɔ̃ la.

12 He lops off the courage of princes, and with terror fills kings of the earth.

Etsi dziɖulawo ƒe gbɔgbɔ nu; anyigbadzifiawo katã vɔ̃nɛ.
