Psalmowo 33
1 Midzi ha kple dzidzɔ na Yehowa, mi ame dzɔdzɔewo; edze mi ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la be woakafui.
Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.
2 Mikafu Yehowa kple kasaŋkuwo, eye miƒo ha nɛ le ka ewo ƒe kasaŋku dzi.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 Midzi ha yeye nɛ; miƒo ha nɛ kple ŋusẽ, eye míado dzidzɔɣli.
Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 Elabena Yehowa ƒe nya nye nyateƒe, eye wòto mɔ ɖeka; etoa nyateƒe le nu siwo katã wòwɔna la me.
For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is [done] in faithfulness.
5 Yehowa lɔ̃a dzɔdzɔenyenye kple nuteƒewɔwɔ; anyigba yɔ fũu kple eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o.
He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.
6 Yehowa ƒe nya wotsɔ wɔ dziƒowoe, eye eƒe numegbɔgbɔ wotsɔ wɔ wo ŋuti nuwoe.
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Eƒo atsiaƒumetsiwo nu ƒu ɖe kpluwo me, eye wòdzra tɔ goglowo ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒewo.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
8 Anyigba katã nevɔ̃ Yehowa, eye xexemetɔwo katã nede bubu eŋu.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 Elabena eƒo nu, eye wòva dzɔ; eɖe gbe, eye wòli ke goŋgoŋgoŋ.
For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Yehowa gblẽ dukɔwo ƒe adaŋudedewo me, eye wòtɔtɔ anyigbadzitɔwo ƒe ɖoɖowo.
Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 Ke Yehowa ya ƒe ɖoɖowo nɔa anyi maʋamaʋãe ɖikaa, eye eƒe dzimesusuwo li tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Woayra dukɔ si ƒe Mawue nye Yehowa, ame siwo wòtia be woanyi yeƒe dome.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Yehowa bi kɔ tso dziƒo ke, eye wòkpɔ amegbetɔviwo katã.
Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
14 Ele eƒe nɔƒe ke hekpɔ ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi,
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 eya ame si wɔ ame sia ame ƒe dzi, eye wòléa ŋku ɖe nu sia nu si wowɔna la ŋu.
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.
16 Aʋakɔ gbogbo si le fia aɖe si la mate ŋu aɖee o, eye ŋusẽ triakɔ hã meɖea kalẽtɔ o.
There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 Ne eɖo ɖeɖe dzi la, sɔ maɖe ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe edzi o, togbɔ be ŋusẽ triakɔ le esi hã la, mate ŋu aɖee o.
A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
18 Ke Yehowa ƒe ŋku le ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la ŋu, ame siwo tsɔa woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ dana ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la dzi,
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
19 be wòaɖe wo tso ku ƒe asi me, eye wòana woatsi agbe le dɔŋɔli.
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 Míele lalam le mɔ kpɔm na Yehowa, eyae nye míaƒe xɔname kple akpoxɔnu.
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.
21 Míaƒe dziwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm le eya amea me, elabena mieka ɖe eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la dzi.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 O! Yehowa, na wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la, nanɔ mía dzi abe ale si míetsɔ míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò ene.
Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.
