Psalmowo 106
1 Mikafu Yehowa. Mida akpe na Yehowa, elabena eƒe dɔ me nyo, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li ɖaa.
Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
2 Ame kae ate ŋu aɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe nu dzɔatsu siwo wòwɔ alo akafui wòade go?
Who shall tell the mighty acts of the Lord? [who] shall cause all his praises to be heard?
3 Woayra ame siwo léa dzɔdzɔenyenye me ɖe asi, ame siwo wɔa nu si nyo la ɣe sia ɣi.
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do righteousness at all times.
4 O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku dzinye ne èle wò dukɔ la nu vem, va kpe ɖe ŋunye ne èle wo ɖem,
Remember us, O Lord, with the favor [you have] to your people: visit us with your salvation;
5 be nye hã makpɔ gome le wò ame tiatiawo ƒe dzidzedzekpɔkpɔ me, be makpɔ dzidzɔ kple wò dukɔ la, eye mawɔ ɖeka kple wò domenyinu la, akafu wò.
that we may behold the good of your elect, that we may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that we may glory with your inheritance.
6 Míewɔ nu vɔ̃ abe mía fofowo ke ene; míewɔ nu tovo, eye míewɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi.
We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done unrighteously.
7 Esi mía fofowo nɔ Egipte la, womebu wò nukunuwo ŋu o; womeɖo ŋku wò dɔmenyo gbogboawo dzi o, ke boŋ wodze aglã le ƒu la to, le Ƒu Dzĩ la to,
Our fathers in Egypt understood not your wonders, and remembered not the multitude of your mercy; but provoked [him] as they went up by the Red Sea.
8 gake eɖe wo le eƒe ŋkɔ la ta, be wòana woanya eƒe ŋusẽ triakɔ la.
Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might cause his mighty power to be known.
9 Eblu ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la ta, eye wòmie; ale wòkplɔ wo to ƒugɔme abe tagba ƒuƒui ene.
And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: so he led them through the deep as through the wilderness.
10 Eɖe wo tso futɔ la ƒe asi me, eye ketɔ la ƒe asimee wòxɔ wo le.
And he saved them out of the hand of them that hated [them], and redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy.
11 Tsi la ŋe tsyɔ wo yometilawo dzi, eye ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o.
The water covered those that oppressed them: there was not one of them left.
12 Tete woxɔ eƒe ŋugbedodowo dzi se, eye wodzi ha kafui.
Then they believed his words, and celebrated his praise.
13 Kasia woŋlɔ nu si wòwɔ la be xoxo, eye womelala xɔ aɖaŋu tso egbɔ o.
They made haste, they forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel.
14 Le gbea dzi la, wodzro nu vevie, eye le gbegbe la, wote Mawu kpɔ.
And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the dry [land].
15 Ale wòtsɔ nu si biam wole la na wo, gake eɖo dɔvɔ̃ ɖe wo dome.
And he gave them their request, and sent fullness into their souls.
16 Woʋã ŋu Mose kple Aron le asaɖa la me, ame si ŋuti wokɔ na Yehowa.
They provoked Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
17 Anyigba ke nu mi Datan, eye wòɖi Abiram kple eyomedzelawo agbagbe.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and closed upon the congregation of Abiron.
18 Dzo va fia wo yomedzelawo, eye dzo ƒe aɖewo fia ame vɔ̃ɖiawo.
And a fire was kindled in their congregation, and a flame burnt up the sinners.
19 Wowɔ nyivi le Horeb to la gbɔ, eye wosubɔ legba si wowɔ kple ga.
And they made a calf in Choreb, and worshipped the graven image,
20 Wotsɔ woƒe Ŋutikɔkɔe ɖɔli nyitsu si ɖua gbe.
and they changed their glory into the similitude of a calf that feeds on grass.
21 Woŋlɔ Mawu si ɖe wo la be, Mawu si wɔ nu gãwo na wo le Egipte
They forgot God that saved them, who had wrought great deeds in Egypt;
22 kple dzesiwo le Hamnyigba dzi kple ŋɔdzinuwo le Ƒu Dzĩ la to.
wondrous [works] in the land of Cham, and terrible things at the Red Sea.
23 Eya ta wògblɔ be, yele wo tsrɔ̃ ge. Ɖe Mose, eƒe ame tiatia la metsi tsitre ɖe gbagbãƒe la hexe mɔ na eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ la o la, anye ne etsrɔ̃ wo.
So he said that he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn [him] away from the fierceness of his anger, so that he should not destroy them.
24 Wodo vlo anyigba dzeani la, eye womexɔ eƒe ŋugbedodo dzi se o.
Moreover they set at nothing the desirable land, and believed not his word.
25 Wolĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le woƒe agbadɔwo me, eye womeɖo to Yehowa o.
And they murmured in their tents: they listened not to the voice of the Lord.
26 Eya ta wòdo eƒe asiwo ɖe dzi ka atam na wo be yele nana ge wo katã natsrɔ̃ ɖe gbea dzi,
So he lifted up his hand against them, to cast them down in the wilderness;
27 woƒe dzidzimeviwo atsi dukɔwo dome, eye yeakaka wo ɖe anyigbawo dzi.
and to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.
28 Wotsɔ Baal Peor ƒe kɔkuti ku kɔ na wo ɖokuiwo, eye woɖu nu siwo wotsɔ sa vɔ̃e na mawu siwo me agbe mele o.
They were joined also to Beelphegor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. And they provoked him with their devices;
29 Wotsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiawo do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, eye dɔvɔ̃ gbã gboo ɖe wo dome.
and destruction, was multiplied among them.
30 Gake Finehas tsi tsitre hetso nya me, tete dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso.
Then Phinees stood up, and made atonement: and the plague ceased.
31 Wobu esia dzɔdzɔenyenye nɛ hena dzidzime mavɔ siwo ava dzɔ.
And it was counted to him for righteousness, to all generations for ever.
32 Le Meriba tsiawo gbɔ, wodo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, eye Mose kpɔ nya le woawo ta.
They provoked him also at the water of Strife, and Moses was hurt for their sakes;
33 Elabena wodze aglã ɖe Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ ŋuti, eye nya vlowo ge le Mose nu.
for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke [unadvisedly] with his lips.
34 Wometsrɔ̃ ameawo abe ale si Yehowa de se na wo ene o,
They destroyed not the nations which the Lord told them [to destroy];
35 ke boŋ wotsaka kple dukɔwo, eye wosrɔ̃ woƒe kɔnyinyiwo.
but were mingled with the heathen, and learned their works.
36 Wosubɔ woƒe legbawo, esi zu mɔ me woge ɖo.
And they served their graven images; and it became an offense to them.
37 Wotsɔ woƒe ŋutsuviwo kple woƒe nyɔnuviwo sa vɔe na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo.
And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils,
38 Wokɔ ʋu maɖifɔ ɖi, wo viŋutsuwo kple wo vinyɔnuwo ƒe ʋu, ame siwo wotsɔ sa vɔe na Kanaan legbawo, eye wotsɔ woƒe ʋu gblẽ kɔ ɖo na anyigba la.
and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan; and the land was defiled with blood.
39 Woƒo ɖi wo ɖokuiwo to nu si wowɔ la me, eye to woƒe nuwɔnawo me, wotsɔ wo ɖokuiwo wɔ gbolowoe,
and was polluted with their works; and they went a whoring with their own devices.
40 eya ta Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋuti, eye wònyɔ ŋu eƒe domenyinu.
So the Lord was very angry with his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.
41 Etsɔ wo de asi na dukɔwo, eye woƒe futɔwo ɖu fia ɖe wo dzi.
And he delivered them into the hands of [their] enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Woƒe futɔwo te wo ɖe to, eye wotsɔ wo de woƒe ŋusẽ te.
Ands their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under their hands.
43 Eɖe wo zi geɖe, gake woɖoe kplikpaa be yewoadze aglã, eye wovɔ le eme keŋkeŋ le woƒe nu vɔ̃ me.
Many a time he delivered them; but they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.
44 Ke ekpɔ woƒe hiã la ɖa, esi wòse woƒe ɣlidodo;
You the Lord looked upon their affliction, when he heard their petition.
45 le wo ta, eɖo ŋku eƒe nubabla la dzi, eye wòɖe asi le eƒe tameɖoɖo ŋu le eƒe lɔlɔ̃ gã la ta.
And he remembered his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercy.
46 Ena ame siwo katã ɖe aboyo wo la kpɔ nublanui na wo.
And he caused them to be pitied in the sight of all who carried them captive.
47 O! Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu, ɖe mí, eye nàƒo mía nu ƒu tso dukɔwo dome, be míada akpe na wò ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la, eye míaƒo adegbe le wò kafukafu ŋu.
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, that we may give thanks to your holy name, that we may glory in your praise.
48 Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la, tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Dukɔ blibo la nàgblɔ be, “Amen!” Mikafu Yehowa.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and to everlasting; and all the people shall say, Amen, Amen.
