< Psalmowo 145 >
1 David ƒe kafukafuha. Mado wò ɖe dzi, nye Mawu, fia la. Makafu wò ŋkɔ tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
“A hymn of praise by David.” I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Makafu wò gbe sia gbe, eye mado wò ŋkɔ ɖe dzi tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Gãe nye Yehowa, eye eya koe dze na kafukafu, elabena ame aɖeke mate ŋu anya eƒe gãnyenye ƒe goglome o.
Great is the Lord, and greatly praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 Dzidzime ɖeka akafu wò dɔwɔwɔwo na dzidzime bubu, eye woatu xo le wò nu dzɔatsuwo ŋu.
One generation shall praise thy works to the other, and thy mighty acts shall they declare.
5 Woaƒo nu le wò gãnyenye ƒe atsyɔ̃ɖoɖo ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ŋuti, eye made ŋugble le wò dɔwɔwɔ wɔnukuwo ŋuti.
On the majestic glory of thy excellence, and on thy wondrous deeds will I meditate.
6 Woaƒo nu le wò ŋɔdzidɔwɔwɔwo ƒe ŋusẽ ŋuti, eye maɖe gbeƒã wò nuwɔwɔ dzɔatsuwo.
And of the might of thy terrible acts shall men converse: and thy greatness will I relate.
7 Woaɖu wò nyuiwɔwɔ gbogboawo ƒe azã, eye woadzi ha atso aseye le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye ŋuti.
The memorial of thy abundant goodness shall they loudly proclaim, and they shall sing joyfully of thy righteousness.
8 Yehowa nye amenuvela kple nublanuikpɔla; medoa dɔmedzoe kabakaba o, eye lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe esi.
Gracious and merciful is the Lord, long-suffering, and great in kindness.
9 Yehowa nyoa dɔ me na ame sia ame, eye wòkpɔa nublanui na ame siwo katã wòwɔ.
The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works.
10 O! Yehowa, ame siwo katã nèwɔ la akafu wò, eye wò ame kɔkɔewo ado wò ɖe dzi.
All thy works shall thank thee, O Lord; and thy pious servants shall bless thee.
11 Woaƒo nu le wò fiaɖuƒe la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ŋu, eye woagblɔ nya tso wò ŋusẽ ŋuti,
Of the glory of thy kingdom shall they converse, and of thy might shall they speak:
12 ale be amewo katã nanya wò nuwɔwɔ dzɔatsuwo kple wò fiaɖuƒe ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe atsyɔ̃.
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Wò fiaɖuƒe la nye fiaɖuƒe mavɔ, eye wò fiaɖuɖu anɔ anyi le dzidzimewo katã me. Yehowa awɔ nuteƒe le eƒe ŋugbedodowo katã me, eye wòaɖe lɔlɔ̃ afia ame siwo katã wòwɔ.
Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all eternities, and thy dominion [subsisteth] throughout all generations.
14 Yehowa léa ame siwo katã dze anyi la ɖe asi, eye wòfɔa ame siwo katã wobɔbɔ ɖe anyi la ɖe dzi.
The Lord upholdeth all who are falling, and raiseth up all those who are bowed down.
15 Ŋkuwo katã le wò asinu kpɔm, eye nèna nuɖuɖu wo le enaɣi.
The eyes of all wait hopefully upon thee, and thou givest them their food in its due season.
16 Èʋu wò asiwo me, eye nètsɔ nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe ƒe nu si wòdi la nɛ.
Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17 Yehowa nye dzɔdzɔetɔ le eƒe mɔwo katã dzi, eye wòlɔ̃a eƒe nu siwo katã wòwɔ.
Righteous is the Lord in all his ways, and beneficent in all his works.
18 Yehowa tsɔ ɖe ame siwo yɔnɛ la gbɔ, ame siwo katã yɔnɛ le nyateƒe me.
The Lord is nigh unto all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
19 Ewɔa ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la ƒe dzimedidiwo na wo, esea woƒe ɣlidodo, eye wòɖea wo.
The desire of those who fear him will he fulfill, and their cry will he hear, and save them.
20 Yehowa kpɔa ame siwo katã lɔ̃nɛ la ta, gake atsrɔ̃ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo katã.
The Lord preserveth all those who love him; but all the wicked will he destroy.
21 Nye nu agblɔ Yehowa ƒe kafukafu. Nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe nekafu eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
The praise of the Lord shall my mouth speak: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
