< Psalmowo 33 >
1 Midzi ha kple dzidzɔ na Yehowa, mi ame dzɔdzɔewo; edze mi ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la be woakafui.
A Psalm of David. Exult in the Lord, you just ones; together praise the upright.
2 Mikafu Yehowa kple kasaŋkuwo, eye miƒo ha nɛ le ka ewo ƒe kasaŋku dzi.
Confess to the Lord with stringed instruments; sing psalms to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
3 Midzi ha yeye nɛ; miƒo ha nɛ kple ŋusẽ, eye míado dzidzɔɣli.
Sing to him a new song. Sing psalms to him skillfully, with loud exclamation.
4 Elabena Yehowa ƒe nya nye nyateƒe, eye wòto mɔ ɖeka; etoa nyateƒe le nu siwo katã wòwɔna la me.
For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are in faith.
5 Yehowa lɔ̃a dzɔdzɔenyenye kple nuteƒewɔwɔ; anyigba yɔ fũu kple eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o.
He loves mercy and judgment. The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6 Yehowa ƒe nya wotsɔ wɔ dziƒowoe, eye eƒe numegbɔgbɔ wotsɔ wɔ wo ŋuti nuwoe.
By the word of the Lord, the heavens were established, and all their power, by the Spirit of his mouth:
7 Eƒo atsiaƒumetsiwo nu ƒu ɖe kpluwo me, eye wòdzra tɔ goglowo ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒewo.
gathering together the waters of the sea, as if in a container, placing the depths in storage.
8 Anyigba katã nevɔ̃ Yehowa, eye xexemetɔwo katã nede bubu eŋu.
Let all the earth fear the Lord, and may all the inhabitants of the world quake before him.
9 Elabena eƒo nu, eye wòva dzɔ; eɖe gbe, eye wòli ke goŋgoŋgoŋ.
For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.
10 Yehowa gblẽ dukɔwo ƒe adaŋudedewo me, eye wòtɔtɔ anyigbadzitɔwo ƒe ɖoɖowo.
The Lord scatters the counsels of the nations. Moreover, he reproves the thoughts of the people, and he rejects the counsels of the leaders.
11 Ke Yehowa ya ƒe ɖoɖowo nɔa anyi maʋamaʋãe ɖikaa, eye eƒe dzimesusuwo li tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
But the counsel of the Lord remains for eternity, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Woayra dukɔ si ƒe Mawue nye Yehowa, ame siwo wòtia be woanyi yeƒe dome.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his inheritance.
13 Yehowa bi kɔ tso dziƒo ke, eye wòkpɔ amegbetɔviwo katã.
The Lord has looked down from heaven. He has seen all the sons of men.
14 Ele eƒe nɔƒe ke hekpɔ ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi,
From his well-prepared dwelling place, he has gazed upon all who dwell on the earth.
15 eya ame si wɔ ame sia ame ƒe dzi, eye wòléa ŋku ɖe nu sia nu si wowɔna la ŋu.
He has formed the hearts of each one of them; he understands all their works.
16 Aʋakɔ gbogbo si le fia aɖe si la mate ŋu aɖee o, eye ŋusẽ triakɔ hã meɖea kalẽtɔ o.
The king is not saved by great power, nor will the giant be saved by his many powers.
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.
The horse is false safety; for he will not be saved by the abundance of his powers.
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 eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and on those who hope in his mercy,
19 be wòaɖe wo tso ku ƒe asi me, eye wòana woatsi agbe le dɔŋɔli.
so as to rescue their souls from death and to feed them during famine.
20 Míele lalam le mɔ kpɔm na Yehowa, eyae nye míaƒe xɔname kple akpoxɔnu.
Our soul remains with the Lord. For he is our helper and protector.
21 Míaƒe dziwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm le eya amea me, elabena mieka ɖe eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la dzi.
For in him, our heart will rejoice, and in his holy name, we have hoped.
22 O! Yehowa, na wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la, nanɔ mía dzi abe ale si míetsɔ míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò ene.
Let your mercy be upon us, O Lord, just as we have hoped in you.
