Psalmowo 105
1 Mida akpe na Yehowa, miyɔ eƒe ŋkɔ, eye miɖe gbeƒã nu siwo wòwɔ la le dukɔwo dome.
O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
2 Midzi ha nɛ, midzi kafukafuha nɛ, miɖe gbeƒã eƒe nukunuwɔwɔwo.
Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
3 Miƒo adegbe le eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la ŋu, mina ame siwo dia Yehowa la ƒe dzi natso aseye.
Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
4 Midi Yehowa, mibia eƒe ŋusẽ, midi eƒe ŋkume ɖaa.
Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
5 Miɖo ŋku nukunu siwo wòwɔ, eƒe dzesiwo kple eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃wo dzi.
Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
6 O! Eƒe dɔla Abraham ƒe dzidzimeviwo. O! Yakob ƒe viwo, ame siwo wòtia.
O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
7 Eyae nye Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la, eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ xɔ anyigba la katã dzi la me.
He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
8 Eɖoa ŋku eƒe nubabla kple se siwo wòde na dzidzime akpewo la dzi ɖaa,
He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
9 eyae nye nu si wòbla kple Abraham kple atam si wòka na Isak.
The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
10 Eɖo kpe edzi na Yakob abe sedede ene, eye na Israel abe nubabla mavɔ ene be,
And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
11 “Wòe matsɔ Kanaanyigba la na, abe wò domenyinu ene.”
Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
12 Ke esi wonye ame ʋɛ aɖewo ko, womesɔ gbɔ o, eye wonye amedzrowo le anyigba dzi la,
When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;
13 wotsa tso dukɔ me yi dukɔ me, tso fiaɖuƒe ɖeka me yi bubu me.
When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.
14 Meɖe mɔ be ame aɖeke nate wo ɖe anyi o, le wo ta, wòka mo na fiawo be,
He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
15 “Migaka asi nye amesiaminawo ŋu o, eye migawɔ nu vevi nye nyagblɔɖilawo o.”
Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
16 Ena dɔ to ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye wògblẽ woƒe nuɖuɖukpɔtsoƒewo katã,
And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.
17 ke edɔ ŋutsu aɖe si woyɔna be Yosef, ame si wodzra abe kluvi ene la ɖe wo ŋgɔ.
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:
18 Wode kunyowu afɔ nɛ, wode abi eŋu, eye wotsɔ gakɔsɔkɔsɔ de kɔ nɛ,
His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;
19 va se ɖe esime nya si wògblɔ ɖi la va eme, eye va se ɖe esime Yehowa ƒe nya naɖo kpe edzi, be nya si wògblɔ la nye nyateƒe.
Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.
20 Fia la dɔ ame woyi ɖaɖee le game, eye dukɔ la dziɖula na ablɔɖee.
The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.
21 Etsɔe ɖo amegãe ɖe eƒe aƒe nu, eye wònye eƒe nunɔamesiwo katã dzikpɔla,
He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;
22 be wòade dɔ asi na eƒe dɔnunɔlawo ale si dze eŋu, eye wòafia nunya eƒe dumegãwo.
To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.
23 Ale Israel ge ɖe Egiptenyigba dzi, eye Yakob nɔ Hamnyigba dzi abe amedzro ene.
Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.
24 Yehowa na eƒe dukɔ la dzi ɖe edzi, eye wòna wosɔ gbɔ fũu akpa na woƒe futɔwo,
And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.
25 ame siwo ƒe dzi wòtrɔ be woalé fu eƒe dukɔ la, eye woaɖo nugbe ɖe eƒe dɔlawo ŋu.
Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.
26 Edɔ Mose, eƒe dɔla kple Aron, eƒe ame tiatia ɖa.
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.
27 Wowɔ eƒe dzesi gãwo le wo dome kple eƒe nukunuwo le Hamnyigba dzi.
He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.
28 Eɖo viviti ɖa, eye anyigba la dzi do blukɔ elabena ɖe wometsi tsitre ɖe eƒe nyawo ŋu oa?
He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.
29 Ena woƒe tsiwo trɔ zu ʋu, eye to esia me woƒe tɔmelãwo ku.
At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.
30 Ena woƒe anyigba la dzi yɔ fũu kple akpɔkplɔwo, esiwo ge ɖe woƒe dumegãwo ƒe xɔgãwo me ke.
Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.
31 Eƒo nu, eye tagbatsutsu kple togbato ƒe ha gã aɖe va xɔ woƒe dukɔ la katã me.
He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.
32 Etrɔ woƒe tsidzadza wòzu kpetsi, eye dzikedzo kpe ɖe eŋuti le woƒe anyigba blibo la dzi.
He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 Eƒo woƒe wainkawo kple gbotiwo ƒu anyi, eye wòmu ati siwo le woƒe dukɔ me la ƒu anyi.
He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.
34 Eƒo nu, eye ʋetsuviwo va ƒo ɖi, nenema kee nye abɔ gbogbo aɖewo hã;
At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,
35 woɖu numiemie mumu ɖe sia ɖe le woƒe anyigba la dzi, eye woɖu nuku ɖe sia ɖe si le bo dzi hã.
And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.
36 Emegbe la, eƒo ŋgɔgbevi siwo katã le woƒe anyigba dzi la ƒu anyi, esiwo nye woƒe ŋutsunyenye ƒe kutsetse gbãtɔwo.
He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.
37 Ke ekplɔ Israel do goe, wodo agba kple klosalo kple sika, eye ame beli aɖeke menɔ woƒe toawo dome o.
He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.
38 Egipte kpɔ dzidzɔ esi wodo go dzo, elabena Israel ƒe ŋɔdzi lé wo.
Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.
39 Ekeke lilikpo ɖe wo dzi abe avɔ ene, eye wòna dzo wo be wòanye akaɖi na wo le zã me.
A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.
40 Wobiae, eye wòna tegliwo woɖu, eye wòtsɔ dziƒobolo ɖi ƒo na woe.
At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.
41 Eʋu agakpe la, tsi do na wo bababa, eye wòsi to gbegbe la abe tɔsisi ene.
His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.
42 Elabena eɖo ŋku eƒe ŋugbe kɔkɔe si wòdo na eƒe dɔla Abraham la dzi.
For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43 Ekplɔ eƒe dukɔ la do goe kple aseyetsotso, eƒe ame tiatiawo kple dzidzɔɣli.
And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:
44 Etsɔ dukɔwo ƒe anyigbawo na wo, eye nu si ame bubuwo ku kutri kpɔ la va zu domenyinu na wo.
And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;
45 Ale be woalé eƒe ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye woawɔ eƒe sewo dzi. Mikafu Yehowa.
So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.
