Psalms 50
1 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising to the setting of the sun.
Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu ŋusẽtɔ, Yehowa ƒo nu heyɔ takpekpe na anyigba la tso agudzedze va se ɖe esime ɣe ɖo to.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
Mawu klẽ tso Zion le eƒe anidzedze blibo la me.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous around him.
Míaƒe Mawu la gbɔna, ahom le tutum le eŋgɔ, dzo le nu bim le eŋgɔ, eye mazi ɖoɖoe o.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
Eɖi ʋɔnu, eye wòyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu eƒe dukɔ,
5 Gather my saints together to me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
“Miƒo nye ame kɔkɔewo nu ƒu nam, ame siwo bla nu kplim kple akpedavɔsa.”
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God [is] judge himself. (Selah)
Dziƒo ɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, elabena Mawu ŋutɔe nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la. (Sela)
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.
“See, o nye dukɔ, mele nu ƒo ge, O! Israel, maɖu ɖasefo ɖe ŋuwò, elabena nyee nye Mawu, wò Mawu la.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt-offerings, [to have been] continually before me.
Nyemeka mo na wò ɖe wò akpedavɔsa alo numevɔsa siwo le ŋkunye me ɖaa la ta o.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds.
Nyemehiã nyitsu tso wò nyikpo me, alo gbɔ̃wo tso wò gbɔ̃kpo me o,
10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills.
elabena avemelãwo katã tɔnye wonye, kple nyi siwo le togbɛ akpewo dzi.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine.
Menya xevi ɖe sia ɖe si le towo dzi, eye nuwɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe si le gbe me la tɔnyee wonye.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is] mine, and the fullness thereof.
Ne dɔe le wuyem la, nyemagblɔe na wò o, elabena xexea me kple nu siwo katã le eme la nye tɔnye.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Ɖe meɖua nyilã alo noa gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋua?
14 Offer to God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows to the Most High:
“Mitsɔ akpedavɔsawo na Mawu, eye mixe miaƒe adzɔgbeɖefewo na Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Miyɔm le xaxagbe, maɖe mi, eye miade bubu ŋutinye.”
16 But to the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
Ke Mawu le gbɔgblɔm na ame vɔ̃ɖi la be: “Mɔ ka nèkpɔ be nàxlẽ nye sewo afia, alo alé nye nubabla la ɖe nu?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
Wò la èlé fu nye nufiame, eye nètsɔ nye nyawo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
Ne èkpɔ fiafitɔ la, èwɔa ɖeka kplii, eye nèdea ha kple ahasitɔwo.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Nya vlowo doa go le nuwò, eye wò aɖe blea ame.
20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thy own mother's son.
Ègblɔa nya tsia tsitre ɖe nɔviwò ŋu, eye nèƒoa ɖi dawòvi ŋutsu.
21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
Nu siawoe nye nu siwo nèwɔ hafi mezi ɖoɖoe, eye nèsusu be ɖeko mele abe ye ene, gake maka mo na wò, eye mado asi ɖe mo na wò.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.
“Bu esia ŋuti, wò ame si ŋlɔ Mawu be, ne menye nenema o la, mavuvu wò kakɛkakɛ, eye ame aɖeke maxɔ wò le asinye o.
23 Whoever offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth [his] deportment [aright] will I show the salvation of God.
Ame si na akpedavɔsa la, de bubu ŋunye, eye wòta mɔ be mafia Mawu ƒe ɖeɖee.”
