Psalmowo 106
1 Mikafu Yehowa. Mida akpe na Yehowa, elabena eƒe dɔ me nyo, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li ɖaa.
Hallelujah. Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for to eternity endureth his kindness.
2 Ame kae ate ŋu aɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe nu dzɔatsu siwo wòwɔ alo akafui wòade go?
Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can publish all his praise?
3 Woayra ame siwo léa dzɔdzɔenyenye me ɖe asi, ame siwo wɔa nu si nyo la ɣe sia ɣi.
Happy are those that observe justice, that execute 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 me, O Lord, when thou favorest thy people: oh visit me with thy 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 I may look on the happiness of thy elect, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glorify myself with thy inheritance.
6 Míewɔ nu vɔ̃ abe mía fofowo ke ene; míewɔ nu tovo, eye míewɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi.
We have sinned together with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
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 did not reflect on thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy kindnesses; but rebelled at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 gake eɖe wo le eƒe ŋkɔ la ta, be wòana woanya eƒe ŋusẽ triakɔ la.
Nevertheless he saved them for the sake of his name, to make known his might.
9 Eblu ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la ta, eye wòmie; ale wòkplɔ wo to ƒugɔme abe tagba ƒuƒui ene.
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; and he led them through the depths, 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 from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Tsi la ŋe tsyɔ wo yometilawo dzi, eye ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o.
And the waters covered their adversaries: not one of them was left.
12 Tete woxɔ eƒe ŋugbedodowo dzi se, eye wodzi ha kafui.
Then believed they in his words, they sang his praise.
13 Kasia woŋlɔ nu si wòwɔ la be xoxo, eye womelala xɔ aɖaŋu tso egbɔ o.
Speedily 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 felt a lustful longing in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
15 Ale wòtsɔ nu si biam wole la na wo, gake eɖo dɔvɔ̃ ɖe wo dome.
And he gave them what they had asked; but sent dryness into their soul.
16 Woʋã ŋu Mose kple Aron le asaɖa la me, ame si ŋuti wokɔ na Yehowa.
Moreover they envied Moses 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 covered over the company of Abiram.
18 Dzo va fia wo yomedzelawo, eye dzo ƒe aɖewo fia ame vɔ̃ɖiawo.
And a fire was kindled in their company: the flame burnt up the wicked.
19 Wowɔ nyivi le Horeb to la gbɔ, eye wosubɔ legba si wowɔ kple ga.
They made a calf in Horeb, and bowed themselves down to a molten image.
20 Wotsɔ woƒe Ŋutikɔkɔe ɖɔli nyitsu si ɖua gbe.
And they exchanged their glory for the similitude of an ox that eateth herbs.
21 Woŋlɔ Mawu si ɖe wo la be, Mawu si wɔ nu gãwo na wo le Egipte
They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,
22 kple dzesiwo le Hamnyigba dzi kple ŋɔdzinuwo le Ƒu Dzĩ la to.
Wonders in the land of Ham, terrible things by 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.
He therefore spoke of destroying them: had not Moses his elect stood in the breach before him, to turn away his fury, that he might not destroy.
24 Wodo vlo anyigba dzeani la, eye womexɔ eƒe ŋugbedodo dzi se o.
And they despised the pleasant land, they believed not in his word;
25 Wolĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le woƒe agbadɔwo me, eye womeɖo to Yehowa o.
But they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto 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,
He therefore lifted up his hand against them, to cause them to fall in the wilderness;
27 woƒe dzidzimeviwo atsi dukɔwo dome, eye yeakaka wo ɖe anyigbawo dzi.
And to let their seed fall among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
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.
And they joined themselves unto Ba'al-pe'or, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Wotsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiawo do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, eye dɔvɔ̃ gbã gboo ɖe wo dome.
And they provoked him to anger with their deeds: and there broke in among them the plague.
30 Gake Finehas tsi tsitre hetso nya me, tete dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso.
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and the plague was stayed.
31 Wobu esia dzɔdzɔenyenye nɛ hena dzidzime mavɔ siwo ava dzɔ.
And it was accounted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for evermore.
32 Le Meriba tsiawo gbɔ, wodo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, eye Mose kpɔ nya le woawo ta.
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, and evil happened to Moses for their sake;
33 Elabena wodze aglã ɖe Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ ŋuti, eye nya vlowo ge le Mose nu.
Because they had embittered his spirit, and so he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips.
34 Wometsrɔ̃ ameawo abe ale si Yehowa de se na wo ene o,
They did not exterminate the nations, that the Lord had indicated to them;
35 ke boŋ wotsaka kple dukɔwo, eye wosrɔ̃ woƒe kɔnyinyiwo.
But they mingled themselves among the nations, and learned their doings.
36 Wosubɔ woƒe legbawo, esi zu mɔ me woge ɖo.
And they served their idols, and these became unto them a snare.
37 Wotsɔ woƒe ŋutsuviwo kple woƒe nyɔnuviwo sa vɔe na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto the evil spirits;
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 they shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood-guiltiness.
39 Woƒo ɖi wo ɖokuiwo to nu si wowɔ la me, eye to woƒe nuwɔnawo me, wotsɔ wo ɖokuiwo wɔ gbolowoe,
Thus were they made unclean through their own doings, and went astray with their own deeds.
40 eya ta Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋuti, eye wònyɔ ŋu eƒe domenyinu.
therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and be felt disgust for his own inheritance.
41 Etsɔ wo de asi na dukɔwo, eye woƒe futɔwo ɖu fia ɖe wo dzi.
And he gave them up into the hand of the nations: and there ruled over them those that hated them.
42 Woƒe futɔwo te wo ɖe to, eye wotsɔ wo de woƒe ŋusẽ te.
And their enemies also oppressed them: and they were subdued under their hand.
43 Eɖe wo zi geɖe, gake woɖoe kplikpaa be yewoadze aglã, eye wovɔ le eme keŋkeŋ le woƒe nu vɔ̃ me.
Many times did he deliver them; but they rebelled with their counsel, and they were brought low through their iniquity.
44 Ke ekpɔ woƒe hiã la ɖa, esi wòse woƒe ɣlidodo;
Nevertheless he looked on when they were in distress, when he heard their entreaty.
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 unto them his covenant, and he bethought himself according to the abundance of his kindnesses;
46 Ena ame siwo katã ɖe aboyo wo la kpɔ nublanui na wo.
And be caused them to find mercy before all those that had carried them away 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 nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, to triumph in thy 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 the God of Israel from everlasting even to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen, Hallelujah.
