Psalmowo 48
1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha. Yehowa lolo, eye eya koe dze kafukafu le míaƒe Mawu la ƒe du me, le eƒe to kɔkɔe la dzi.
A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week. Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Zion to la kɔkɔ henya kpɔ ale gbegbe, eye wònye dzudzɔdonu na anyigba blibo la. Fia gã la ƒe du, si le abe Zafon to kɔkɔe la ene.
With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
3 Mawu le eƒe fiasãwo me, eye wòɖe eɖokui fia abe eƒe mɔ sesẽ ene.
In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.
4 Fiawo ƒo woƒe aʋakɔwo nu ƒu, hezɔ ɖe edzi ɖekae,
For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.
5 ke esi wokpɔe la, woƒe nu ku, ŋɔdzi lé wo eye wosi dzo.
So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:
6 Dzidzi ƒo wo, eye wose veve abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la ene.
Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.
7 Egbã wo gudugudu abe ale si ɣedzeƒeya gbã Tarsis tɔdziʋuwo ene.
With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
8 Abe ale si míese ene la, nenemae míekpɔe le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la kple míaƒe Mawu la ƒe du mee. Mawu na wòanɔ dedie tegbetegbe. (Sela)
As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.
9 O! Mawu, míedea ŋugble le wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ŋu le wò gbedoxɔ me.
We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 O! Mawu, wò kafukafu de keke anyigba la ƒe mlɔenu ke abe wò ŋkɔ ene. Wò nuɖusi ɖua fia le dzɔdzɔenyenye me.
According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.
11 Zion to kpɔ dzidzɔ, eye Yuda ƒe kɔƒewo le aseye tsom le wò afiatsotso ta.
Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.
12 Mizɔ Zion to la ŋu godoo, mizɔ ƒo xlãe, eye mixlẽ eƒe xɔ tsralawo,
Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.
13 ne miakpɔ kpo si woƒo ɖe eƒe gliwo ŋu. Mikpɔ eƒe fiasãwo nyuie ne míatsɔe atu xoe na dzidzime si gbɔna,
Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.
14 elabena Mawu siae nye míaƒe Mawu tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me; eyae anye mía kplɔla yi ɖase ɖe nuwuwu.
For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.
