Psalmowo 104
1 O! Luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa. O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, èlolo loo; èɖo atsyɔ̃, eye nèta gãnyenye.
Bless, O my soul, the Lord. O Lord my God, thou art very great; with glory and majesty art thou clothed.
2 Etsyɔ kekeli abe avɔ ene, ehe dziƒo me abe avɔgbadɔ ene,
[Thou art he] who wrappeth himself in light as with a garment; who stretcheth 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 frameth of the waters the beams of his upper-chambers; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh along upon the wings of the wind:
4 Yae nye eƒe dɔtsɔlawo, eye dzo ƒe aɖewo nye eƒe dɔlawo.
Who maketh the winds his messengers; the flaming fire his ministers;
5 Eɖo anyigba anyi ɖe eƒe gɔmeɖokpe dzi, eya ta maʋã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
Who hath founded the earth upon her bases, that she should not be moved to all eternity.
6 Ètsɔ gogloƒewo tsyɔ nɛ abe avɔ ene, eye tsiawo tɔ ɖe toawo tame.
Thou hadst covered the deep as with a garment: above the mountains stood the waters.
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.
They ascended mountains; they went down valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
9 Èɖo liƒo si dzi womate ŋu adze to o la na wo, eye womagakaka axɔ anyigba dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
Bounds hast thou set which they cannot pass over, that they return not again to cover the earth.
10 Ena tsitsetsewo kɔ ɖe agawo me, eye wosi to towo dome.
[Thou art he] who sendeth springs into the valleys, between mountains they run along.
11 Wonaa tsi gbemelãwo, eye wotsia gbetedziwo ƒe tsikɔwuame nu.
They give drink to all the beasts of the field: the wild asses quench [thereon] their thirst.
12 Dziƒoxeviwo wɔa atɔ ɖe tsisisiawo to, eye wodzia ha le atilɔwo dzi.
By them have the fowls of the heaven ever their habitation, from between the branches they send forth their voice.
13 Edea tsi towo tso eƒe xɔ dzigbemetɔ me; eƒe dɔ ƒe kutsetse ɖia ƒo na anyigba.
Who watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: from the fruit of thy works is the earth satisfied.
14 Ena gbe mie na nyihawo, eye wòƒãa nuku na amegbetɔ be wòaxa, ale wòna nuɖuɖu do tso anyigba la me na wo;
[Thou art he] who causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs by the service of man, that he may bring forth 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 that maketh joyful the heart of man, [and] oil to brighten his face, and bread which strengtheneth the heart of man.
16 Wode tsi Yehowa ƒe atiawo nyuie, Lebanon ƒe sedati siwo wòdo.
Full of sap are the trees of the Lord, the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted;
17 Afi mae xeviwo wɔ woƒe atɔwo ɖo, eye aŋɔɣi wɔ eƒe nɔƒe ɖe gbotiwo me.
Where the birds make their nests: the stork—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 shelter for the conies.
19 Ɣleti dea vovototo ɣeyiɣiwo dome, eye ɣe nya ɣeyiɣi si wòaɖo to.
He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20 Ètsɔ viviti vɛ, eye wòzu zã, ale lã siwo katã le ave me la doa go.
Thou causest darkness, and it becometh night, wherein creep forth all the beasts of the forest.
21 Dzatawo ɖea gbe na nuléle, eye wodia woƒe nuɖuɖu tso Mawu gbɔ.
The young lions roar after their prey, and ask from God their food.
22 Ɣe dzena, eye wotrɔna dzona ɖamlɔa woƒe dowo me.
The sun ariseth, they withdraw [to their lairs], and lie down in their dens.
23 Tete ame do go yi dɔ me, yi ɖe eƒe dɔ gbɔ va se ɖe fiẽ.
Man goeth [then] forth unto 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.
How manifold are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast 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.
Here is this great and wide-extended sea; therein are moving things without number, living creatures both small and great.
26 Meliwo zɔa edzi yina, gagbɔna, eye afii mae boso si nèwɔ la hã le.
There the ships make their way: [there also] is the leviathan, whom thou hast made to sport therein.
27 Esiawo katã le asiwò nu kpɔm be nàna nuɖuɖu yewo le wo naɣi.
All of these wait upon thee, to give them their food in its due season.
28 Ne èna wo la, woƒonɛ ƒu; eye ne èʋu wò asi la, ètsɔa nu nyui ɖia ƒo na wo.
What thou givest them they gather: thou openest 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 hidest thy face, they suddenly vanish: thou takest away their spirit, they perish, and to their dust they return.
30 Ne èdɔ wò Gbɔgbɔ ɖa la, wodzɔna, eye nèwɔa anyigba ƒe ŋkume yeyee.
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nenɔ anyi tegbee. Yehowa nekpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ŋu,
The glory of the Lord will endure for ever; the Lord will 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.
He who looketh down on the earth, and she trembleth; who toucheth 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 unto the Lord while I live: I will sing praises to my God while I exist.
34 Nye ŋugbledede nedze eŋu, esi mele dzidzɔ kpɔm le Yehowa me.
May my speech be agreeable to him: I will indeed 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.
May the sinners cease from off the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless, O my soul, the Lord. Hallelujah.
