Psalmowo 44
1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe nufiameha na hɛnɔ la. O! Mawu, míawo ŋutɔ míesee kple míaƒe towo, nu siwo mía fofowo gblɔ na mí tso nu siwo nèwɔ na wo le woƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me le blema.
`To victorie, lernyng to the sones of Chore. God, we herden with oure eeris; oure fadris telden to vs. The werk, which thou wrouytist in the daies of hem; and in elde daies.
2 Ètsɔ wò asi nya dukɔwo, eye nètsɔ mía fofowo ɖo wo teƒe. Ègbã dukɔwo gudugudu, ke èna mía fofowo ya dzi ɖe edzi.
Thin hond lost hethene men, and thou plauntidist hem; thou turmentidist puplis, and castidist hem out.
3 Anyigba mesu wo si to woawo ŋutɔ ƒe yi dzi loo, alo woawo ŋutɔ ƒe alɔe ɖu dzi na wo o, ke boŋ wò nuɖusi, wò alɔ kple wò mo ƒe kekelie xɔ na wo, elabena èlɔ̃ wo.
For the children of Israel weldiden the lond not bi her swerd; and the arm of hem sauyde not hem. But thi riyt hond, and thin arm, and the liytnyng of thi cheer; for thou were plesid in hem.
4 Wòe nye nye Fia kple nye Mawu, wòe he dziɖuɖuwo vɛ na Yakob.
Thou art thi silf, my kyng and my God; that sendist helthis to Jacob.
5 To dziwò míetutu míaƒe futɔwo do ɖe megbe, eye to wò ŋkɔ me míenya avuzi le míaƒe futɔwo dzi.
Bi thee we schulen wyndewe oure enemyes with horn; and in thi name we schulen dispise hem, that risen ayen vs.
6 Nyemeɖo ŋu ɖe nye aŋutrɔ ŋu o, eye nye yi mehe dziɖuɖu vɛ nam o,
For Y schal not hope in my bouwe; and my swerd schal not saue me.
7 ke boŋ èna míeɖu míaƒe ketɔwo dzi, eye nèna ŋukpe lé míaƒe adikatɔwo.
For thou hast saued vs fro men turmentinge vs; and thou hast schent men hatinge vs.
8 Míetsɔ Mawu ƒo adegbe ŋkeke blibo la, eye míakafu wò ŋkɔ tegbetegbe. (Sela)
We schulen be preisid in God al dai; and in thi name we schulen knouleche to thee in to the world.
9 Ke azɔ la, ègbe mí, eye nèbɔbɔ mí ɖe anyi; azɔ la, mègadona kple míaƒe aʋakɔwo o.
But now thou hast put vs abac, and hast schent vs; and thou, God, schalt not go out in oure vertues.
10 Èna míegbugbɔ ɖe megbe le míaƒe futɔwo ŋgɔ, eye míaƒe ketɔwo ha mí.
Thou hast turned vs awei bihynde aftir oure enemyes; and thei, that hatiden vs, rauyschiden dyuerseli to hem silf.
11 Ètsɔ mí na be woavuvu mí abe alẽwo ene, eye nèkaka mí ɖe dukɔwo dome.
Thou hast youe vs as scheep of meetis; and among hethene men thou hast scaterid vs.
12 Ètsɔ wò dukɔ la dzra ho kpɔtsɔe eye mèkpɔ naneke le wo dzadzra me o.
Thou hast seeld thi puple with out prijs; and multitude was not in the chaungyngis of hem.
13 Ètsɔ mí wɔ vlodonu na míaƒe aƒelikawo, eye míezu alɔmeɖenu kple nu ɖikokoe na ame siwo ƒo xlã mí.
Thou hast set vs schenschip to oure neiyboris; mouwyng and scorn to hem that ben in oure cumpas.
14 Ètsɔ mí wɔ lodonu le dukɔwo dome, eye amewo ʋuʋua ta ɖe mía ŋu ne wokpɔ mí.
Thou hast set vs into licnesse to hethene me; stiryng of heed among puplis.
15 Nye vlododo le ŋkunye me ŋkeke blibo la, eye ŋukpe tsyɔa mo nam,
Al dai my schame is ayens me; and the schenschipe of my face hilide me.
16 ne vlodolawo, fewuɖulawo le nunye ɖiam, elabena futɔ la ɖoe kplikpaa be yeabia hlɔ̃m.
Fro the vois of dispisere, and yuele spekere; fro the face of enemy, and pursuere.
17 Togbɔ be míeŋlɔ wò be, alo da alakpa le wò nubabla la me o hã la, èna nu siawo katã va mía dzi.
Alle these thingis camen on vs, and we han not foryete thee; and we diden not wickidli in thi testament.
18 Míaƒe dziwo metrɔ le yowòme o, eye míaƒe afɔwo hã metra le wò mɔ dzi o.
And oure herte yede not awei bihynde; and thou hast bowid awei oure pathis fro thi weie.
19 Gake ègbã mí gudugudu hegble mí ɖe amegaxiwo dome, eye nètsɔ viviti tsiɖitsiɖi tsyɔ mía dzi.
For thou hast maad vs lowe in the place of turment; and the schadewe of deth hilide vs.
20 Nenye ɖe míeŋlɔ míaƒe Mawu ŋkɔ be, alo ke míaƒe abɔwo na dzromawu aɖe la,
If we foryaten the name of oure God; and if we helden forth oure hondis to an alien God.
21 ɖe Mawu manya esi wònya dzimenu ɣaɣlawo katã oa?
Whether God schal not seke these thingis? for he knowith the hid thingis of herte.
22 Gake le tawò la, míekpɔa ku ŋkeke blibo la, eye wobua mí abe alẽ siwo wokplɔ yina wuwu ge la ene.
For whi we ben slayn al dai for thee; we ben demed as scheep of sleyng.
23 Nyɔ, O Aƒetɔ! Nu ka ta nèle alɔ̃ dɔm ɖo? Fɔ! Mègagbe mí ɖikaa o.
Lord, rise vp, whi slepist thou? rise vp, and putte not awei in to the ende.
24 Nu ka ta nèɣla wò mo, eye nèŋlɔ míaƒe hiãkame kple teteɖeanyi be ɖo?
Whi turnest thou awei thi face? thou foryetist oure pouert, and oure tribulacioun.
25 Wohe mí ƒu ke me, eye míaƒe ŋutilã lé ɖe anyigba.
For oure lijf is maad low in dust; oure wombe is glued togidere in the erthe.
26 Tso, nàxɔ na mí, ɖe mí le wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ta.
Lord, rise vp thou, and helpe vs; and ayenbie vs for thi name.
