Psalms 115
1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
Menye míawoe o, o Yehowa, menye míawoe o, ke boŋ ŋutikɔkɔe la nye wò ŋkɔ tɔ, le wò lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
Nu ka ta dukɔwo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Afi ka woƒe Mawu la le?”
3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
Míaƒe Mawu la le dziƒo, eye nu sia nu si dze eŋu lae wòwɔna,
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
gake woawo ya ƒe legbawo nye klosalo kple sika, eye amegbetɔ ƒe asiwoe wɔ wo,
5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
eya ta nu li na wo, gake womate ŋu aƒo nu o, ŋku li na wo, gake womate ŋu akpɔ nu o;
6 They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
to li na wo, gake womesea nu o, ŋɔti li na wo, gake womeʋẽa nu sena o;
7 They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
asi li na wo, gake wometea nu kpɔna o, afɔ li na wo, gake womate ŋu azɔ loo, alo aƒo nu to ve me o.
8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
Ame siwo wɔ wo la, anɔ abe woawo ke ene, eye nenema kee nye ame siwo tsɔ woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe wo dzi.
9 Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
O! Israel ƒe aƒe, ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eyae nye wò kpeɖeŋutɔ kple akpoxɔnu.
10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
O! Aron ƒe aƒe, ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eyae nye wò kpeɖeŋutɔ kple akpoxɔnu.
11 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
Mi ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, miɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eyae nye miaƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ kple akpoxɔnu.
12 Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
Yehowa ɖo ŋku mía dzi, eya ta ayra mí. Ayra Israel ƒe aƒe la, ayra Aron ƒe aƒe la,
13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.
ayra ame siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa, suewo kple gãwo siaa.
14 May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.
Yehowa nana miadzi ɖe edzi, miawo ŋutɔwo kple mia viwo.
15 Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Yehowa neyra mi, eya dziƒo kple anyigba Wɔla.
16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
Dziƒo kɔkɔtɔ nye Yehowa, Wɔla la tɔ, ke etsɔ anyigba na amegbetɔ.
17 The dead don’t praise Yah, nor any who go down into silence,
Menye ame kukuwoe kafua Yehowa o, menye ame siwo zi ɖoɖoe le aʋlimee o;
18 but we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Praise Yah!
ke boŋ mí ame siwo doa Yehowa ɖe dzi fifia kple ɖaasi lae. Mikafu Yehowa.
