Psalms 83
1 A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us and remain unmoved, God.
Asaf ƒe ha. O! Mawu, mègazi kpi o, O! Mawu, mègazi ɖoɖoe o, mèganɔ anyi kpoo o.
2 Look, your enemies are making a commotion, and those who hate you have raised their heads.
Kpɔ ale si wò futɔwo le nyanyram ɖa, kpɔ ale si wò ketɔwo kɔ ta dzii ɖa.
3 They conspire against your people and plan together against your protected ones.
Wole nu baɖa ɖom ɖe wò dukɔ ŋu le ayeme, eye woɖo nugbe ɖe ame siwo nèlɔ̃na la ŋu.
4 They have said, “Come, and let us destroy them as a nation. Then the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”
Wogblɔ be, “Miva, míatsrɔ̃ wo, be womaganye dukɔ o, eye womagaɖo ŋku Israel ƒe ŋkɔ dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
5 They have schemed together with one strategy; against you they have made an alliance.
Wotsɔ tameɖoɖo ɖeka de adaŋu, eye wobla ɖe ŋuwò,
6 This includes the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, and the people of Moab and the Hagrites, who plot together with
ame siwo le Edom ƒe agbadɔwo me, Ismaelitɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Hagritɔwo,
7 Gebal, Ammon, Amalek; it also includes Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre.
Gebalitɔwo, Amonviwo, Amalekitɔwo, Filistitɔwo kple ame siwo tso Tiro.
8 Assyria also is allied with them; they are helping the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
Asiria gɔ̃ hã kpe ɖe wo ŋu, be wòado alɔ Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)
9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and to Jabin at the Kishon River.
Wɔ wo abe ale si nèwɔ Midian, Sisera kple Yabin le Kison tɔsisi la to ene,
10 They perished at Endor and became like manure for the earth.
ame siwo tsrɔ̃ le Endor, eye wole abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene le anyigba.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna.
Wɔ woƒe bubumewo abe Oreb kple Zeb ene, eye woƒe dumegãwo abe Zeba kple Zalmuna ene,
12 They said, “Let us take for ourselves the pastures of God.”
ame siwo gblɔ be, “Mina míaxɔ Mawu ƒe lãnyiƒewo.”
13 My God, make them like the whirling dust, like chaff before the wind,
O! Nye Mawu, wɔ wo abe betsyo kple blitsa si ya lɔ ɖe nu ene.
14 like the fire that burns the forest, and like the flame that sets the mountains on fire.
Abe ale si dzo biaa ave, alo dzo ƒe aɖe tɔa dzo towo ene la,
15 Chase them with your strong wind, and terrify them with your windstorm.
nenemae nàti wo yomee kple wò ya sesẽ, eye nàdo ŋɔdzi na wo kple wò ahom.
16 Fill their faces with shame so that they might seek your name, Yahweh.
Tsɔ ŋukpe tsyɔ mo na wo, ale be amewo nadi wò ŋkɔ, O Yehowa.
17 May they be put to shame and be terrified forever; may they perish in disgrace.
Na ŋukpe nalé wo, woƒe mo natsi dãa, eye wonetsrɔ̃ le ŋukpe me.
18 Then they will know that you alone, Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
Na woanya be wò, ame si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa la, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
