< Psalmowo 104 >

1 O! Luʋɔnye, kafu Yehowa. O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, èlolo loo; èɖo atsyɔ̃, eye nèta gãnyenye.
Bless the LORD, my soul. The LORD, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honour and majesty.
2 Etsyɔ kekeli abe avɔ ene, ehe dziƒo me abe avɔgbadɔ ene,
He covers himself with light as with a garment. He 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.
He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
4 Yae nye eƒe dɔtsɔlawo, eye dzo ƒe aɖewo nye eƒe dɔlawo.
He makes his messengers winds, and his servants flames of fire.
5 Eɖo anyigba anyi ɖe eƒe gɔmeɖokpe dzi, eya ta maʋã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
He 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.
You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
7 Ke esi nèblu la, tsiawo si, eye esi nèɖe gbe la, wolé du tsɔ.
At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried 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 you had assigned to them.
9 Èɖo liƒo si dzi womate ŋu adze to o la na wo, eye womagakaka axɔ anyigba dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.
10 Ena tsitsetsewo kɔ ɖe agawo me, eye wosi to towo dome.
He sends springs into the valleys. They run amongst the mountains.
11 Wonaa tsi gbemelãwo, eye wotsia gbetedziwo ƒe tsikɔwuame nu.
They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Dziƒoxeviwo wɔa atɔ ɖe tsisisiawo to, eye wodzia ha le atilɔwo dzi.
The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing amongst 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 rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your 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 livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce 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.
wine that makes the heart of man glad, 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 LORD’s trees are well watered, 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. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.
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 rock badgers.
19 Ɣleti dea vovototo ɣeyiɣiwo dome, eye ɣe nya ɣeyiɣi si wòaɖo to.
He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
20 Ètsɔ viviti vɛ, eye wòzu zã, ale lã siwo katã le ave me la doa go.
You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
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 rises, and they steal 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 out to his work, to his labour 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.
LORD, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your 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.
There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
26 Meliwo zɔa edzi yina, gagbɔna, eye afii mae boso si nèwɔ la hã le.
There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
27 Esiawo katã le asiwò nu kpɔm be nàna nuɖuɖu yewo le wo naɣi.
These all wait for you, that you 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.
You give to them; they gather. You open your 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.
You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.
30 Ne èdɔ wò Gbɔgbɔ ɖa la, wodzɔna, eye nèwɔa anyigba ƒe ŋkume yeyee.
You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
31 Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nenɔ anyi tegbee. Yehowa nekpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ŋu,
Let the LORD’s glory endure forever. Let the LORD 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 looks at 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 the LORD 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 my meditation be sweet to him. 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 sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul. Praise the LORD!
