Psalmowo 108
1 Hadzidzi. David ƒe ha. O! Mawu, nye dzi le te goŋgoŋgoŋ. Madzi ha, aƒo saŋku kple nye luʋɔ blibo.
A song. A psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I would sing, I would make music; awake, my soul.
2 Saŋku kple kasaŋku, minyɔ! Manyɔ fɔŋli.
Awake, harp and lyre; I would wake the dawn.
3 O! Yehowa, makafu wò le dukɔwo dome, eye madzi ha le ŋuwò le anyigbadzitɔwo dome,
I would praise you among the peoples, O Lord; make music among the nations to you.
4 elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ de blibo, hekɔ wu dziƒowo, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ yi ɖatɔ lilikpowo.
For great to heaven is your love, and your faithfulness to the clouds.
5 O! Mawu, woado wò ɖe dzi agbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, eye na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naxɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
Be exalted, O God, o’er the heavens, and your glory o’er all the earth.
6 Ɖe mí, eye nàkpe ɖe mía ŋu kple wò nuɖusibɔ, be ame siwo nèlɔ̃ vevie la nakpɔ ɖeɖe.
So those you love may be rescued, save by your right hand and answer us.
7 Mawu ƒo nu tso eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la be, “Mama Sekem le dziɖuɖu me, eye madzidze Sukɔt Balime.
God did solemnly swear: ‘As victor will I divide Shechem, portion out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead nye tɔnye, Manase hã tɔnyee; nye gakukue nye Efraim, eye Yuda nye nye fiatikplɔ.
Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my sceptre of rule,
9 Moab nye nye tsiletɔkpo, matsɔ nye atokota aƒu gbe ɖe Edom dzi, eye mado dziɖuɖuɣli ɖe Filistia ŋu.”
Moab the pot that I wash in, on Edom I hurl my sandal, I shout o’er Philistia in triumph.’
10 Ame ka akplɔm ayi du sesẽ la mee? Ame ka akplɔm ayi Edom?
O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom!
11 O! Mawu, ɖe menye wòe oa? Nu ka wɔ nègbe mí, eye mègadona kple míaƒe aʋakɔwo o?
Have you not spurned us, O God? You do not march forth with our armies.
12 Kpe ɖe mía ŋu ɖe míaƒe futɔwo ŋuti, elabena èna amegbetɔ ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu mele nemi hã me o.
Grant us help from the foe, for human help is worthless.
13 Ne Mawu le mía dzi la, míaɖu dzi, eye wòafanya míaƒe futɔwo ɖe eƒe afɔ te.
With God we shall yet do bravely, he himself will tread down our foes.
