Psalmowo 104
1 O! Luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa. O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, èlolo loo; èɖo atsyɔ̃, eye nèta gãnyenye.
[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou hast clothed thyself with praise and honour:
2 Etsyɔ kekeli abe avɔ ene, ehe dziƒo me abe avɔgbadɔ ene,
who dost robe thyself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as 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 covers his chambers with waters; who makes the clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.
4 Yae nye eƒe dɔtsɔlawo, eye dzo ƒe aɖewo nye eƒe dɔlawo.
Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flaming fire.
5 Eɖo anyigba anyi ɖe eƒe gɔmeɖokpe dzi, eya ta maʋã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved for ever.
6 Ètsɔ gogloƒewo tsyɔ nɛ abe avɔ ene, eye tsiawo tɔ ɖe toawo tame.
The deep, as it were a garment, is his covering: the waters shall stand on the hills.
7 Ke esi nèblu la, tsiawo si, eye esi nèɖe gbe la, wolé du tsɔ.
At thy rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of thy thunder they shall be alarmed.
8 Wosi to towo tame, heva to balimewo, va ɖo teƒe si nètia na wo la.
They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which thou hast 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 hast set a bound which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.
10 Ena tsitsetsewo kɔ ɖe agawo me, eye wosi to towo dome.
He sends forth his fountains among the valleys: the waters shall run between the mountains.
11 Wonaa tsi gbemelãwo, eye wotsia gbetedziwo ƒe tsikɔwuame nu.
They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field: the wild asses shall take [of them] to [quench] their thirst.
12 Dziƒoxeviwo wɔa atɔ ɖe tsisisiawo to, eye wodzia ha le atilɔwo dzi.
By them shall the birds of the sky lodge: they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks.
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 shall be satisfied 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 makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men, to bring bread 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 makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil: and bread strengthens man's heart.
16 Wode tsi Yehowa ƒe atiawo nyuie, Lebanon ƒe sedati siwo wòdo.
The trees of the plain shall be full [of sap]; [even] the cedars of Libanus which he has planted.
17 Afi mae xeviwo wɔ woƒe atɔwo ɖo, eye aŋɔɣi wɔ eƒe nɔƒe ɖe gbotiwo me.
There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.
18 To kɔkɔwo nye gbemegbɔ̃wo tɔ, eye agakpewo tome zu bebeƒe na hlɔ̃madɛwo.
The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, [and] the rock for the rabbits.
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 didst make darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad:
21 Dzatawo ɖea gbe na nuléle, eye wodia woƒe nuɖuɖu tso Mawu gbɔ.
[even] young lions roaring for prey, and to seek meat for themselves from God.
22 Ɣe dzena, eye wotrɔna dzona ɖamlɔa woƒe dowo me.
The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.
23 Tete ame do go yi dɔ me, yi ɖe eƒe dɔ gbɔ va se ɖe fiẽ.
Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour till evening.
24 O! Yehowa, wò dɔwɔwɔwo sɔ gbɔ loo! Èwɔ wo katã le nunya deto me, anyigba dzi yɔ fũu kple wò nuwɔwɔwo.
How great are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou wrought them all: the earth is filled with thy creation.
25 Atsiaƒue nye ekem, elolo hekeke, lã siwo mele xexlẽme o la yɔe, nenema kee nye nu gbagbe bubuwo hã, suewo kple gãwo siaa.
[So is] this great and wide sea: there are things creeping innumerable, small animals and great.
26 Meliwo zɔa edzi yina, gagbɔna, eye afii mae boso si nèwɔ la hã le.
There go the ships; [and] this dragon whom thou hast made to play in it.
27 Esiawo katã le asiwò nu kpɔm be nàna nuɖuɖu yewo le wo naɣi.
All wait upon thee, to 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.
When thou hast given [it] them, they will gather [it]; and when thou hast opened thine hand, they shall all be filled 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.
But when thou hast turned away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou wilt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and return to their dust.
30 Ne èdɔ wò Gbɔgbɔ ɖa la, wodzɔna, eye nèwɔa anyigba ƒe ŋkume yeyee.
Thou shalt send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
31 Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nenɔ anyi tegbee. Yehowa nekpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ŋu,
Let the glory of the Lord be for ever: the Lord shall 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 upon the earth, and makes it tremble; who 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 the Lord while I live; I will sing praise to my God while I exist.
34 Nye ŋugbledede nedze eŋu, esi mele dzidzɔ kpɔm le Yehowa me.
Let my meditation be sweet to him: and I will rejoice in the Lord.
35 Ke nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo netsrɔ̃ ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo maganɔ anyi o. O! Luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa. Mikafu Yehowa.
Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors, so that they shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
