Psalmowo 115
1 Menye míawoe o, o Yehowa, menye míawoe o, ke boŋ ŋutikɔkɔe la nye wò ŋkɔ tɔ, le wò lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.
Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake.
2 Nu ka ta dukɔwo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Afi ka woƒe Mawu la le?”
Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
3 Míaƒe Mawu la le dziƒo, eye nu sia nu si dze eŋu lae wòwɔna,
But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
4 gake woawo ya ƒe legbawo nye klosalo kple sika, eye amegbetɔ ƒe asiwoe wɔ wo,
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 eya ta nu li na wo, gake womate ŋu aƒo nu o, ŋku li na wo, gake womate ŋu akpɔ nu o;
They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
6 to li na wo, gake womesea nu o, ŋɔti li na wo, gake womeʋẽa nu sena o;
They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
7 asi li na wo, gake wometea nu kpɔna o, afɔ li na wo, gake womate ŋu azɔ loo, alo aƒo nu to ve me o.
They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat.
8 Ame siwo wɔ wo la, anɔ abe woawo ke ene, eye nenema kee nye ame siwo tsɔ woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe wo dzi.
Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
9 O! Israel ƒe aƒe, ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eyae nye wò kpeɖeŋutɔ kple akpoxɔnu.
O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
10 O! Aron ƒe aƒe, ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eyae nye wò kpeɖeŋutɔ kple akpoxɔnu.
O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
11 Mi ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, miɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eyae nye miaƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ kple akpoxɔnu.
Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
12 Yehowa ɖo ŋku mía dzi, eya ta ayra mí. Ayra Israel ƒe aƒe la, ayra Aron ƒe aƒe la,
Jehovah has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 ayra ame siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa, suewo kple gãwo siaa.
He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
14 Yehowa nana miadzi ɖe edzi, miawo ŋutɔwo kple mia viwo.
Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
15 Yehowa neyra mi, eya dziƒo kple anyigba Wɔla.
Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
16 Dziƒo kɔkɔtɔ nye Yehowa, Wɔla la tɔ, ke etsɔ anyigba na amegbetɔ.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
17 Menye ame kukuwoe kafua Yehowa o, menye ame siwo zi ɖoɖoe le aʋlimee o;
The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
18 ke boŋ mí ame siwo doa Yehowa ɖe dzi fifia kple ɖaasi lae. Mikafu Yehowa.
but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
