Psalmowo 106
1 Mikafu Yehowa. Mida akpe na Yehowa, elabena eƒe dɔ me nyo, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li ɖaa.
Praise YAH, give thanks to YHWH, for [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!
2 Ame kae ate ŋu aɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe nu dzɔatsu siwo wòwɔ alo akafui wòade go?
Who utters the mighty acts of YHWH? Sounds all His praise?
3 Woayra ame siwo léa dzɔdzɔenyenye me ɖe asi, ame siwo wɔa nu si nyo la ɣe sia ɣi.
O the blessedness of those keeping judgment, Doing 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 YHWH, With the favor of Your people, Look after me in 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.
To look on the good of Your chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Your nation, To boast myself 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 done perversely, 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 in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Your wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Your kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the Sea of Suph.
8 gake eɖe wo le eƒe ŋkɔ la ta, be wòana woanya eƒe ŋusẽ triakɔ la.
And He saves them for His Name’s sake, To make His might known,
9 Eblu ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la ta, eye wòmie; ale wòkplɔ wo to ƒugɔme abe tagba ƒuƒui ene.
And rebukes the Sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causes them to go Through depths as a wilderness.
10 Eɖe wo tso futɔ la ƒe asi me, eye ketɔ la ƒe asimee wòxɔ wo le.
And He saves them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeems them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Tsi la ŋe tsyɔ wo yometilawo dzi, eye ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o.
And waters cover their adversaries, One of them has not been left.
12 Tete woxɔ eƒe ŋugbedodowo dzi se, eye wodzi ha kafui.
And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
13 Kasia woŋlɔ nu si wòwɔ la be xoxo, eye womelala xɔ aɖaŋu tso egbɔ o.
They have hurried—forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
14 Le gbea dzi la, wodzro nu vevie, eye le gbegbe la, wote Mawu kpɔ.
And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
15 Ale wòtsɔ nu si biam wole la na wo, gake eɖo dɔvɔ̃ ɖe wo dome.
And He gives to them their request, And sends leanness into their soul.
16 Woʋã ŋu Mose kple Aron le asaɖa la me, ame si ŋuti wokɔ na Yehowa.
And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, YHWH’s holy one.
17 Anyigba ke nu mi Datan, eye wòɖi Abiram kple eyomedzelawo agbagbe.
Earth opens, and swallows up Dathan, And covers over the company of Abiram.
18 Dzo va fia wo yomedzelawo, eye dzo ƒe aɖewo fia ame vɔ̃ɖiawo.
And fire burns among their company, A flame sets the wicked on fire.
19 Wowɔ nyivi le Horeb to la gbɔ, eye wosubɔ legba si wowɔ kple ga.
They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
20 Wotsɔ woƒe Ŋutikɔkɔe ɖɔli nyitsu si ɖua gbe.
And change their glory Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
21 Woŋlɔ Mawu si ɖe wo la be, Mawu si wɔ nu gãwo na wo le Egipte
They have forgotten God their Savior, The doer of great things in Egypt,
22 kple dzesiwo le Hamnyigba dzi kple ŋɔdzinuwo le Ƒu Dzĩ la to.
Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the Sea of Suph.
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.
And He commands to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.
24 Wodo vlo anyigba dzeani la, eye womexɔ eƒe ŋugbedodo dzi se o.
And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
25 Wolĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le woƒe agbadɔwo me, eye womeɖo to Yehowa o.
And they murmur in their tents, They have not listened to the voice of YHWH.
26 Eya ta wòdo eƒe asiwo ɖe dzi ka atam na wo be yele nana ge wo katã natsrɔ̃ ɖe gbea dzi,
And He lifts up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
27 woƒe dzidzimeviwo atsi dukɔwo dome, eye yeakaka wo ɖe anyigbawo dzi.
And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through 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 are coupled to Ba‘al-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
29 Wotsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiawo do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, eye dɔvɔ̃ gbã gboo ɖe wo dome.
And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaks forth on them,
30 Gake Finehas tsi tsitre hetso nya me, tete dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso.
And Phinehas stands, and executes judgment, And the plague is restrained,
31 Wobu esia dzɔdzɔenyenye nɛ hena dzidzime mavɔ siwo ava dzɔ.
And it is reckoned to him for righteousness, From generation to generation—for all time.
32 Le Meriba tsiawo gbɔ, wodo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, eye Mose kpɔ nya le woawo ta.
And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
33 Elabena wodze aglã ɖe Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ ŋuti, eye nya vlowo ge le Mose nu.
For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaks wrongfully with his lips.
34 Wometsrɔ̃ ameawo abe ale si Yehowa de se na wo ene o,
They have not destroyed the peoples, As YHWH had commanded to them,
35 ke boŋ wotsaka kple dukɔwo, eye wosrɔ̃ woƒe kɔnyinyiwo.
And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
36 Wosubɔ woƒe legbawo, esi zu mɔ me woge ɖo.
And serve their idols, And they are for a snare to them.
37 Wotsɔ woƒe ŋutsuviwo kple woƒe nyɔnuviwo sa vɔe na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo.
And they sacrifice their sons and their daughters to the demons,
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—Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.
39 Woƒo ɖi wo ɖokuiwo to nu si wowɔ la me, eye to woƒe nuwɔnawo me, wotsɔ wo ɖokuiwo wɔ gbolowoe,
And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
40 eya ta Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋuti, eye wònyɔ ŋu eƒe domenyinu.
And the anger of YHWH Is kindled against His people, And He detests His inheritance.
41 Etsɔ wo de asi na dukɔwo, eye woƒe futɔwo ɖu fia ɖe wo dzi.
And gives them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
42 Woƒe futɔwo te wo ɖe to, eye wotsɔ wo de woƒe ŋusẽ te.
And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.
43 Eɖe wo zi geɖe, gake woɖoe kplikpaa be yewoadze aglã, eye wovɔ le eme keŋkeŋ le woƒe nu vɔ̃ me.
He delivers them many times, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
44 Ke ekpɔ woƒe hiã la ɖa, esi wòse woƒe ɣlidodo;
And He looks on their distress When He hears their cry,
45 le wo ta, eɖo ŋku eƒe nubabla la dzi, eye wòɖe asi le eƒe tameɖoɖo ŋu le eƒe lɔlɔ̃ gã la ta.
And remembers His covenant for them, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
46 Ena ame siwo katã ɖe aboyo wo la kpɔ nublanui na wo.
And He appoints them for mercies Before all their captors.
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 our God YHWH, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Your Holy Name, To 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 [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age until age. And all the people said, “Amen, praise YAH!”
