Psalms 66
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melodious Song. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;
Ha na hɛnɔ la. Mi anyigbawo katã mido ɣli, mitso aseye ɖe Mawu ŋu!
2 Praise ye in song the glory of his Name, Celebrate the glory of his praise:
Midzi eƒe ŋkɔ ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe ha; mikafu Mawu ƒe gãnyenye!
3 Say unto God—How fearful in thy doings, Through the abounding of thy power, shall thy foes come cringing unto thee;
Migblɔ na Mawu be, “Wò dɔwɔwɔwo dziŋɔ loo! Wò ŋusẽ tri akɔ ale gbegbe be, wò futɔwo de ta agu na wò.
4 All the earth, shall bow themselves down to thee, And sing praises unto thee, Shall praise in song thy Name. (Selah)
Anyigba la katã de ta agu na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò ŋkɔ.” (Sela)
5 Come and see the doings of God, —Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:
Va, nàkpɔ nu si Mawu wɔ, ale si le amegbetɔwo ta wòwɔ ŋɔdzidɔ geɖewo!
6 He turned the sea into dry land, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:
Etrɔ atsiaƒu wòzu anyigba ƒuƒui, wozɔ afɔ to tsi la titina; miva míatso aseye le eya amea me.
7 Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. (Selah)
Ele fia ɖum kple eƒe ŋusẽ tegbee, eƒe ŋku le dukɔwo ta kpɔm, aglãdzela aɖeke megatso ɖe eŋuti o. (Sela)
8 Bless our God, O ye peoples, And cause to be heard, the sound of his praise; —
O! Mi dukɔwo, mikafu míaƒe Mawu la; mina eƒe kafukafu nade dzi woase.
9 Who hath set our soul among the living, And hath not suffered, our foot, to slip.
Eyae kpɔ míaƒe agbe ta, eye mena míaƒe afɔ ɖiɖi o.
10 For thou didst prove us, O God, Thou didst refine us, according to the refining of silver:
Elabena O Mawu, wòe do mí kpɔ, wòe lolõ mí abe klosalo ene.
11 Thou didst bring us into the hunter’s net, Thou didst lay a load upon our loins;
Wòe de mí gaxɔ me, eye nèdo agba ɖe megbe na mí.
12 Thou didst let men ride at our head; We went into fire and into water, But thou didst bring us forth into freedom.
Èna amewo zɔ míaƒe ta dzi, eye míeto dzo me kple tɔ me, gake èkplɔ mí va anyigba si dzi nuwo do agbogbo ɖo fũu.
13 I will enter thy house with ascending-sacrifices, I will pay unto thee my vows,
Mava wò gbedoxɔ me kple numevɔsa, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo na wò,
14 Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, in my distress.
adzɔgbe siwo nye nuyi ɖe, eye nye nu ɖe gbeƒã wo, esi meɖo xaxa me.
15 Ascending-sacrifices of fatlings, will I cause to ascend unto thee, With the perfume of rams, I will offer bulls, with he-goats. (Selah)
Matsɔ lã damiwo kple agbowo asa numevɔe na wò, hekpe ɖe nyitsuwo kple gbɔ̃wo ŋuti. (Sela)
16 Come! hearken—that I may recount, all ye reverers of God, What he hath done for my soul: —
Miva se, mí ame siwo katã vɔ̃a Mawu; mina magblɔ nu siwo wòwɔ nam la na mi.
17 Unto him—with my mouth, did I cry, And high praise was under my tongue.
Metsɔ nye nu do ɣli nɛ, eƒe kafukafu le nye aɖe dzi.
18 If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!
Ɖe mena nɔƒe nu vɔ̃ le nye dzi me la, ne Aƒetɔ la meɖo tom o,
19 But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
gake Mawu ɖo tom vavã, eye wòse nye gbe le gbedodoɖa me.
20 Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his own lovingkindness from me.
Woakafu Mawu, ame si medo toku nye gbedodoɖa, alo te eƒe lɔlɔ̃ ɖa le gbɔnye o!
