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, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
2 Nu ka ta dukɔwo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Afi ka woƒe Mawu la le?”
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3 Míaƒe Mawu la le dziƒo, eye nu sia nu si dze eŋu lae wòwɔna,
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.
4 gake woawo ya ƒe legbawo nye klosalo kple sika, eye amegbetɔ ƒe asiwoe wɔ wo,
The nations' 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;
Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
6 to li na wo, gake womesea nu o, ŋɔti li na wo, gake womeʋẽa nu sena o;
they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.
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.
Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
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 are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
9 O! Israel ƒe aƒe, ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eyae nye wò kpeɖeŋutɔ kple akpoxɔnu.
Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
10 O! Aron ƒe aƒe, ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eyae nye wò kpeɖeŋutɔ kple akpoxɔnu.
House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
11 Mi ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, miɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eyae nye miaƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ kple akpoxɔnu.
You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
12 Yehowa ɖo ŋku mía dzi, eya ta ayra mí. Ayra Israel ƒe aƒe la, ayra Aron ƒe aƒe la,
Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.
13 ayra ame siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa, suewo kple gãwo siaa.
He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
14 Yehowa nana miadzi ɖe edzi, miawo ŋutɔwo kple mia viwo.
May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
15 Yehowa neyra mi, eya dziƒo kple anyigba Wɔla.
May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16 Dziƒo kɔkɔtɔ nye Yehowa, Wɔla la tɔ, ke etsɔ anyigba na amegbetɔ.
The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
17 Menye ame kukuwoe kafua Yehowa o, menye ame siwo zi ɖoɖoe le aʋlimee o;
The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do 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 Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
