< Psalmowo 135 >

1 Mikafu Yehowa. Mikafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, mikafui, mi Yehowa ƒe dɔlawo.
Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 Mi ame siwo subɔna le Yehowa ƒe aƒe me, le míaƒe Mawu la ƒe xɔxɔnuwo.
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Mikafu Yehowa, elabena Yehowa nyo; midzi ha na eƒe ŋkɔ, elabena esia vivina.
Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 Elabena Yehowa tia Yakob be wòanye ye tɔ, eye wòtia Israel be wòanye yeƒe domenyinu xɔasi la.
For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
5 Menya be Yehowa lolo, eye míaƒe Aƒetɔ la lolo wu mawuwo katã.
For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.
6 Yehowa wɔa nu sia nu si dze eŋu le dziƒo kple anyigba, le atsiaƒuwo me kple woƒe gogloƒewo katã.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;
7 Enaa lilikpo hona tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke, edɔa dzikedzo be wòava kple tsidzadza, eye wòɖea yaƒoƒo ɖe go tso eƒe nudzraɖoƒewo.
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:
8 Eƒo Egipte ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo ƒu anyi; amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo.
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
9 O! Egipte, edɔ eƒe dzesiwo kple nukunuwo ɖo ɖe mía dome, ɖe Farao kple eƒe dɔlawo katã ŋu.
Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;
10 Eƒo dukɔ geɖewo ƒu anyi, eye wòwu fia sesẽwo.
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,
11 Ewu Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, Ɔg, Basantɔwo ƒe fia kple Kanaan fiawo katã,
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 eye wòtsɔ woƒe anyigba wɔ domenyinu, na eƒe dukɔ Israel.
And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 O! Yehowa, wò ŋkɔ li tegbetegbe, o Yehowa, èxɔ ŋkɔ le dzidzimewo katã me.
Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.
14 Elabena Yehowa atso afia na eƒe dukɔ, eye wòakpɔ nublanui na eƒe dɔlawo.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
15 Dukɔwo ƒe legbawo nye klosalo kple sika, amegbetɔ ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔwo wonye.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
16 Nu li na wo, gake womeƒoa nu o, ŋku li na wo gake womekpɔa nu o,
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
17 to li na wo, gake womesea nu loo, alo gbɔna to woƒe nu me o.
They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 Ame siwo wɔ wo la anɔ abe woawo ke ene, eye nenema kee nye ame siwo katã ɖoa dzi ɖe wo ŋu.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
19 O! Israel ƒe aƒe, mikafu Yehowa, O! Aron ƒe aƒe, mikafu Yehowa,
House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;
20 O! Levi ƒe aƒe, mikafu Yehowa, eye mi ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la, mikafu Yehowa.
House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
21 Woakafu Yehowa tso Zion, eya ame si nɔ Yerusalem. Mikafu Yehowa!
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
