Psalmowo 104
1 O! Luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa. O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, èlolo loo; èɖo atsyɔ̃, eye nèta gãnyenye.
Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou are very great. Thou are clothed with honor and majesty,
2 Etsyɔ kekeli abe avɔ ene, ehe dziƒo me abe avɔgbadɔ ene,
who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
3 eye wòɖo eƒe dziƒoxɔwo ƒe sɔtiwo ƒe agunu anyi ɖe woƒe tsiwo dzi. Etsɔ lilikpowo wɔ eƒe tasiaɖam, eye wònɔ ya ƒe aʋalawo dzi.
who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,
4 Yae nye eƒe dɔtsɔlawo, eye dzo ƒe aɖewo nye eƒe dɔlawo.
who makes his agents spirits, his ministers a flame of fire,
5 Eɖo anyigba anyi ɖe eƒe gɔmeɖokpe dzi, eya ta maʋã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
who laid the foundations of the earth that it should not be moved forever.
6 Ètsɔ gogloƒewo tsyɔ nɛ abe avɔ ene, eye tsiawo tɔ ɖe toawo tame.
Thou covered it with the deep as with a vesture. The waters stood above the mountains.
7 Ke esi nèblu la, tsiawo si, eye esi nèɖe gbe la, wolé du tsɔ.
At thy rebuke they fled. At the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.
8 Wosi to towo tame, heva to balimewo, va ɖo teƒe si nètia na wo la.
The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou had founded for them.
9 Èɖo liƒo si dzi womate ŋu adze to o la na wo, eye womagakaka axɔ anyigba dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
Thou have set a bound that they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 Ena tsitsetsewo kɔ ɖe agawo me, eye wosi to towo dome.
He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
11 Wonaa tsi gbemelãwo, eye wotsia gbetedziwo ƒe tsikɔwuame nu.
They give drink to every beast of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Dziƒoxeviwo wɔa atɔ ɖe tsisisiawo to, eye wodzia ha le atilɔwo dzi.
By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation. They sing among the branches.
13 Edea tsi towo tso eƒe xɔ dzigbemetɔ me; eƒe dɔ ƒe kutsetse ɖia ƒo na anyigba.
He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.
14 Ena gbe mie na nyihawo, eye wòƒãa nuku na amegbetɔ be wòaxa, ale wòna nuɖuɖu do tso anyigba la me na wo;
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbage for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth,
15 wain si doa dzidzɔ na ame ƒe dzi, ami si ana be eƒe mo nanɔ keklẽm kple abolo si alé eƒe dzi ɖe te.
and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
16 Wode tsi Yehowa ƒe atiawo nyuie, Lebanon ƒe sedati siwo wòdo.
The trees of Jehovah are full, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
17 Afi mae xeviwo wɔ woƒe atɔwo ɖo, eye aŋɔɣi wɔ eƒe nɔƒe ɖe gbotiwo me.
where the birds make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 To kɔkɔwo nye gbemegbɔ̃wo tɔ, eye agakpewo tome zu bebeƒe na hlɔ̃madɛwo.
The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the conies.
19 Ɣleti dea vovototo ɣeyiɣiwo dome, eye ɣe nya ɣeyiɣi si wòaɖo to.
He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows his going down.
20 Ètsɔ viviti vɛ, eye wòzu zã, ale lã siwo katã le ave me la doa go.
Thou make darkness, and it is night, during which all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
21 Dzatawo ɖea gbe na nuléle, eye wodia woƒe nuɖuɖu tso Mawu gbɔ.
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22 Ɣe dzena, eye wotrɔna dzona ɖamlɔa woƒe dowo me.
The sun arises; they get away, and lie down in their dens.
23 Tete ame do go yi dɔ me, yi ɖe eƒe dɔ gbɔ va se ɖe fiẽ.
Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.
24 O! Yehowa, wò dɔwɔwɔwo sɔ gbɔ loo! Èwɔ wo katã le nunya deto me, anyigba dzi yɔ fũu kple wò nuwɔwɔwo.
O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom have thou made them all. The earth is full of thy riches.
25 Atsiaƒue nye ekem, elolo hekeke, lã siwo mele xexlẽme o la yɔe, nenema kee nye nu gbagbe bubuwo hã, suewo kple gãwo siaa.
Yonder is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.
26 Meliwo zɔa edzi yina, gagbɔna, eye afii mae boso si nèwɔ la hã le.
There go the ships. There is leviathan, whom thou have formed to play in it.
27 Esiawo katã le asiwò nu kpɔm be nàna nuɖuɖu yewo le wo naɣi.
These all wait for thee, that thou may give them their food in due season.
28 Ne èna wo la, woƒonɛ ƒu; eye ne èʋu wò asi la, ètsɔa nu nyui ɖia ƒo na wo.
Thou give to them, they gather. Thou open thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
29 Ke ne èɣla wò mo la, ŋɔdzi léa wo, eye ne èxɔ woƒe gbɔgbɔ le wo si la, wokuna, trɔna zua kewɔ.
Thou hide thy face, they are troubled. Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 Ne èdɔ wò Gbɔgbɔ ɖa la, wodzɔna, eye nèwɔa anyigba ƒe ŋkume yeyee.
Thou send forth thy Spirit, they are created, and thou renew the face of the ground.
31 Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nenɔ anyi tegbee. Yehowa nekpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ŋu,
Let the glory of Jehovah endure forever. Let Jehovah rejoice in his works,
32 eya ame si do mo ɖe anyigba dzi, eye anyigba dzo nyanyanya; eya ame si ka asi towo ŋu, eye wotu dzudzɔ.
who looks on the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 Madzi ha na Yehowa le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me, eye zi ale si mele agbe la, madzi kafukafuha na nye Mawu la.
I will sing to Jehovah as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34 Nye ŋugbledede nedze eŋu, esi mele dzidzɔ kpɔm le Yehowa me.
Let thy meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Jehovah.
35 Ke nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo netsrɔ̃ ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo maganɔ anyi o. O! Luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa. Mikafu Yehowa.
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.
