Psalms 76
1 People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
Asaf ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. Wonya Mawu le Yuda, eye eƒe ŋkɔ lolo le Israel.
2 His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
Eƒe agbadɔ le Salem, eye eƒe nɔƒe le Zion.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.
Afi ma wòŋe aŋutrɔ bibiwo, akpoxɔnuwo kple yiwo le, nu siwo nye aʋawɔnuwo. (Sela)
4 God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
Keklẽ geɖe ƒo xlã wò, eye nènya kpɔ sãsãsã wu to siwo me adelã le fũu la.
5 Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!
Woha kalẽtɔwo, wodɔ woƒe alɔ̃ mamlɛtɔ; aʋawɔla siawo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ hã magate ŋu akɔ eƒe asiwo dzi o.
6 When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
O! Yakob ƒe Mawu, esi nèblu ko la, sɔ kple tasiaɖam siaa tɔ ɖe teƒe ɖeka.
7 But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
Wò ko wòle be woavɔ̃. Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe nuwò ne èdo dɔmedzoe?
8 From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
Èɖe gbeƒã wò afiatsotso tso dziƒo, anyigba vɔ̃, eye wòzi ɖoɖoe.
9 when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
O! Mawu, esi nètso be yeatso afia, aɖe anyigba la ƒe hiãtɔwo la, nu sia nu zi ɖoɖoe. (Sela)
10 When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.
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 [So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.
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 humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
Etsi dziɖulawo ƒe gbɔgbɔ nu; anyigbadzifiawo katã vɔ̃nɛ.
