Psalms 99
1 Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!
Yehowa le fia ɖum, dukɔwo nedzo nyanyanya, enɔ eƒe fiazikpui dzi gli le kerubiwo dome, anyigba neʋuʋu.
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Yehowa nye gã le Zion, ekɔ gbɔ dukɔwo katã ta.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Wonekafu wò ŋkɔ gã, dziŋɔ la, eya amea le kɔkɔe.
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
Fia la nye ŋusẽtɔ, elɔ̃a afia nyui tsotso, wò la, èɖo dzɔdzɔenyenye anyi, eye nèwɔ nu si le dzɔdzɔe le Yakob me.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Mido Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ɖe dzi, eye mide ta agu ɖe eƒe afɔ nu, elabena eya amea le kɔkɔe.
6 Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.
Mose kple Aron le eƒe nunɔlawo dome; Samuel le ame siwo yɔ eƒe ŋkɔ la dome; woyɔ Yehowa ŋkɔ, eye wòtɔ na wo.
7 He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.
Eƒo nu na wo tso lilikpo dodo me, eye wolé se kple ɖoɖo siwo wòtsɔ na wo la me ɖe asi.
8 Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.
O! Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu, wòe tɔ na wo; togbɔ be èhe to na wo le woƒe nu tovowo ta hã la, ènye tsɔtsɔke ƒe Mawu na Israel.
9 Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
Mido Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ɖe dzi, eye misubɔe le eƒe to kɔkɔe la dzi, elabena Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la le kɔkɔe.
