Psalmowo 106
1 Mikafu Yehowa. Mida akpe na Yehowa, elabena eƒe dɔ me nyo, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li ɖaa.
Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!
2 Ame kae ate ŋu aɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe nu dzɔatsu siwo wòwɔ alo akafui wòade go?
Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?
3 Woayra ame siwo léa dzɔdzɔenyenye me ɖe asi, ame siwo wɔa nu si nyo la ɣe sia ɣi.
Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise 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! with the favor promised to thy people; O 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 see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy people, That I may glory with thine 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 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 in Egypt did not regard thy wonders; They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; But rebelled at the sea, 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 own name's sake. That he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 Eblu ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la ta, eye wòmie; ale wòkplɔ wo to ƒugɔme abe tagba ƒuƒui ene.
He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up, And he led them through the deep as through a desert.
10 Eɖe wo tso futɔ la ƒe asi me, eye ketɔ la ƒe asimee wòxɔ wo le.
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.
The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.
12 Tete woxɔ eƒe ŋugbedodowo dzi se, eye wodzi ha kafui.
Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.
13 Kasia woŋlɔ nu si wòwɔ la be xoxo, eye womelala xɔ aɖaŋu tso egbɔ o.
But they soon forgot his deeds, And waited not for his counsel.
14 Le gbea dzi la, wodzro nu vevie, eye le gbegbe la, wote Mawu kpɔ.
They gave way to appetite 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 their request, But sent upon them leanness.
16 Woʋã ŋu Mose kple Aron le asaɖa la me, ame si ŋuti wokɔ na Yehowa.
They also 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.
Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered 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 flames burned 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 worshipped a molten image;
20 Wotsɔ woƒe Ŋutikɔkɔe ɖɔli nyitsu si ɖua gbe.
They changed their God of glory Into the image of a grass-eating ox.
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 such great things in Egypt,
22 kple dzesiwo le Hamnyigba dzi kple ŋɔdzinuwo le Ƒu Dzĩ la to.
Such wonders in the land of Ham. Such 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.
Then he said that he would destroy them; Had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, that he might not destroy them.
24 Wodo vlo anyigba dzeani la, eye womexɔ eƒe ŋugbedodo dzi se o.
They also despised the pleasant land, And believed not his word;
25 Wolĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le woƒe agbadɔwo me, eye womeɖo to Yehowa o.
But murmured in their tents, And would not hearken 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,
Then he lifted up his hand against them, And swore that he would make them fall in the wilderness;
27 woƒe dzidzimeviwo atsi dukɔwo dome, eye yeakaka wo ɖe anyigbawo dzi.
That he would overthrow their descendants among the nations, And 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.
They also gave themselves to the worship of Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to lifeless idols.
29 Wotsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiawo do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, eye dɔvɔ̃ gbã gboo ɖe wo dome.
Thus they provoked his anger by their practices, And a plague broke in upon them.
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 this 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 waters of Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.
33 Elabena wodze aglã ɖe Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ ŋuti, eye nya vlowo ge le Mose nu.
For they provoked his spirit, So that he spake inconsiderately with his lips.
34 Wometsrɔ̃ ameawo abe ale si Yehowa de se na wo ene o,
They did not destroy the nations, As Jehovah had commanded them.
35 ke boŋ wotsaka kple dukɔwo, eye wosrɔ̃ woƒe kɔnyinyiwo.
They mingled themselves with the peoples, And learned their practices.
36 Wosubɔ woƒe legbawo, esi zu mɔ me woge ɖo.
They even worshipped their idols, Which became to them a snare.
37 Wotsɔ woƒe ŋutsuviwo kple woƒe nyɔnuviwo sa vɔe na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo.
Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to 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 shed innocent blood, The blood of their own sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
39 Woƒo ɖi wo ɖokuiwo to nu si wowɔ la me, eye to woƒe nuwɔnawo me, wotsɔ wo ɖokuiwo wɔ gbolowoe,
Thus they defiled themselves with their works, And played the harlot with their practices.
40 eya ta Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋuti, eye wònyɔ ŋu eƒe domenyinu.
Then burned the anger of the LORD against his people, So that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 Etsɔ wo de asi na dukɔwo, eye woƒe futɔwo ɖu fia ɖe wo dzi.
And he gave them into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them ruled over them.
42 Woƒe futɔwo te wo ɖe to, eye wotsɔ wo de woƒe ŋusẽ te.
Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down 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 provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.
44 Ke ekpɔ woƒe hiã la ɖa, esi wòse woƒe ɣlidodo;
Yet, when he heard their cries, He had regard to their affliction;
45 le wo ta, eɖo ŋku eƒe nubabla la dzi, eye wòɖe asi le eƒe tameɖoɖo ŋu le eƒe lɔlɔ̃ gã la ta.
He remembered his covenant with them, And repented according to the greatness of his mercy,
46 Ena ame siwo katã ɖe aboyo wo la kpɔ nublanui na wo.
And caused them to find pity Among all that 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 Jehovah, our God! and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks to thy holy name, And glory 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 Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise ye Jehovah!]
