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 Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2 Mikafu Yehowa kple kasaŋkuwo, eye miƒo ha nɛ le ka ewo ƒe kasaŋku dzi.
Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Midzi ha yeye nɛ; miƒo ha nɛ kple ŋusẽ, eye míado dzidzɔɣli.
Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4 Elabena Yehowa ƒe nya nye nyateƒe, eye wòto mɔ ɖeka; etoa nyateƒe le nu siwo katã wòwɔna la me.
For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5 Yehowa lɔ̃a dzɔdzɔenyenye kple nuteƒewɔwɔ; anyigba yɔ fũu kple eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o.
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
6 Yehowa ƒe nya wotsɔ wɔ dziƒowoe, eye eƒe numegbɔgbɔ wotsɔ wɔ wo ŋuti nuwoe.
By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7 Eƒo atsiaƒumetsiwo nu ƒu ɖe kpluwo me, eye wòdzra tɔ goglowo ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒewo.
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Anyigba katã nevɔ̃ Yehowa, eye xexemetɔwo katã nede bubu eŋu.
Let all the earth fear Yahweh. 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 spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 Yehowa gblẽ dukɔwo ƒe adaŋudedewo me, eye wòtɔtɔ anyigbadzitɔwo ƒe ɖoɖowo.
Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes 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 Yahweh stands fast forever, 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 Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Yehowa bi kɔ tso dziƒo ke, eye wòkpɔ amegbetɔviwo katã.
Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14 Ele eƒe nɔƒe ke hekpɔ ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi,
From the place of his habitation he looks out on 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 who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of 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 an army. 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 does 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, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19 be wòaɖe wo tso ku ƒe asi me, eye wòana woatsi agbe le dɔŋɔli.
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20 Míele lalam le mɔ kpɔm na Yehowa, eyae nye míaƒe xɔname kple akpoxɔnu.
Our soul has waited for Yahweh. 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 rejoices 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 your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
