Psalmowo 105
1 Mida akpe na Yehowa, miyɔ eƒe ŋkɔ, eye miɖe gbeƒã nu siwo wòwɔ la le dukɔwo dome.
Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works amongst the heathen.
2 Midzi ha nɛ, midzi kafukafuha nɛ, miɖe gbeƒã eƒe nukunuwɔwɔwo.
Sing to him, yes, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
3 Miƒo adegbe le eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la ŋu, mina ame siwo dia Yehowa la ƒe dzi natso aseye.
Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Midi Yehowa, mibia eƒe ŋusẽ, midi eƒe ŋkume ɖaa.
Seek you the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
5 Miɖo ŋku nukunu siwo wòwɔ, eƒe dzesiwo kple eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃wo dzi.
Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth;
6 O! Eƒe dɔla Abraham ƒe dzidzimeviwo. O! Yakob ƒe viwo, ame siwo wòtia.
[you] seed of Abraam, his servants, [you] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 Eyae nye Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la, eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ xɔ anyigba la katã dzi la me.
He is the Lord our God; his judgements are in all the earth.
8 Eɖoa ŋku eƒe nubabla kple se siwo wòde na dzidzime akpewo la dzi ɖaa,
He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation:
9 eyae nye nu si wòbla kple Abraham kple atam si wòka na Isak.
which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
10 Eɖo kpe edzi na Yakob abe sedede ene, eye na Israel abe nubabla mavɔ ene be,
And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
11 “Wòe matsɔ Kanaanyigba la na, abe wò domenyinu ene.”
saying To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
12 Ke esi wonye ame ʋɛ aɖewo ko, womesɔ gbɔ o, eye wonye amedzrowo le anyigba dzi la,
when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 wotsa tso dukɔ me yi dukɔ me, tso fiaɖuƒe ɖeka me yi bubu me.
And they went from nation to nation, 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 suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
15 “Migaka asi nye amesiaminawo ŋu o, eye migawɔ nu vevi nye nyagblɔɖilawo o.”
[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
16 Ena dɔ to ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye wògblẽ woƒe nuɖuɖukpɔtsoƒewo katã,
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of 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; Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 Wode kunyowu afɔ nɛ, wode abi eŋu, eye wotsɔ gakɔsɔkɔsɔ de kɔ nɛ,
They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
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.
until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
20 Fia la dɔ ame woyi ɖaɖee le game, eye dukɔ la dziɖula na ablɔɖee.
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
21 Etsɔe ɖo amegãe ɖe eƒe aƒe nu, eye wònye eƒe nunɔamesiwo katã dzikpɔla,
He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
22 be wòade dɔ asi na eƒe dɔnunɔlawo ale si dze eŋu, eye wòafia nunya eƒe dumegãwo.
to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 Ale Israel ge ɖe Egiptenyigba dzi, eye Yakob nɔ Hamnyigba dzi abe amedzro ene.
Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
24 Yehowa na eƒe dukɔ la dzi ɖe edzi, eye wòna wosɔ gbɔ fũu akpa na woƒe futɔwo,
And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 ame siwo ƒe dzi wòtrɔ be woalé fu eƒe dukɔ la, eye woaɖo nugbe ɖe eƒe dɔlawo ŋu.
And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
26 Edɔ Mose, eƒe dɔla kple Aron, eƒe ame tiatia ɖa.
He sent fort Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 Wowɔ eƒe dzesi gãwo le wo dome kple eƒe nukunuwo le Hamnyigba dzi.
He established amongst them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
28 Eɖo viviti ɖa, eye anyigba la dzi do blukɔ elabena ɖe wometsi tsitre ɖe eƒe nyawo ŋu oa?
He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
29 Ena woƒe tsiwo trɔ zu ʋu, eye to esia me woƒe tɔmelãwo ku.
He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
30 Ena woƒe anyigba la dzi yɔ fũu kple akpɔkplɔwo, esiwo ge ɖe woƒe dumegãwo ƒe xɔgãwo me ke.
Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.
31 Eƒo nu, eye tagbatsutsu kple togbato ƒe ha gã aɖe va xɔ woƒe dukɔ la katã me.
He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
32 Etrɔ woƒe tsidzadza wòzu kpetsi, eye dzikedzo kpe ɖe eŋuti le woƒe anyigba blibo la dzi.
He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.
33 Eƒo woƒe wainkawo kple gbotiwo ƒu anyi, eye wòmu ati siwo le woƒe dukɔ me la ƒu anyi.
And he struck their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
34 Eƒo nu, eye ʋetsuviwo va ƒo ɖi, nenema kee nye abɔ gbogbo aɖewo hã;
He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
35 woɖu numiemie mumu ɖe sia ɖe le woƒe anyigba la dzi, eye woɖu nuku ɖe sia ɖe si le bo dzi hã.
and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.
36 Emegbe la, eƒo ŋgɔgbevi siwo katã le woƒe anyigba dzi la ƒu anyi, esiwo nye woƒe ŋutsunyenye ƒe kutsetse gbãtɔwo.
He struck also every firstborn of their land, the first fruits of all their labour.
37 Ke ekplɔ Israel do goe, wodo agba kple klosalo kple sika, eye ame beli aɖeke menɔ woƒe toawo dome o.
And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one amongst their tribes.
38 Egipte kpɔ dzidzɔ esi wodo go dzo, elabena Israel ƒe ŋɔdzi lé wo.
Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 Ekeke lilikpo ɖe wo dzi abe avɔ ene, eye wòna dzo wo be wòanye akaɖi na wo le zã me.
He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.
40 Wobiae, eye wòna tegliwo woɖu, eye wòtsɔ dziƒobolo ɖi ƒo na woe.
They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 Eʋu agakpe la, tsi do na wo bababa, eye wòsi to gbegbe la abe tɔsisi ene.
He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places.
42 Elabena eɖo ŋku eƒe ŋugbe kɔkɔe si wòdo na eƒe dɔla Abraham la dzi.
For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.
43 Ekplɔ eƒe dukɔ la do goe kple aseyetsotso, eƒe ame tiatiawo kple dzidzɔɣli.
And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;
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 heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;
45 Ale be woalé eƒe ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye woawɔ eƒe sewo dzi. Mikafu Yehowa.
that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
