Psalmowo 50
1 Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu ŋusẽtɔ, Yehowa ƒo nu heyɔ takpekpe na anyigba la tso agudzedze va se ɖe esime ɣe ɖo to.
A Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Mawu klẽ tso Zion le eƒe anidzedze blibo la me.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
3 Míaƒe Mawu la gbɔna, ahom le tutum le eŋgɔ, dzo le nu bim le eŋgɔ, eye mazi ɖoɖoe o.
Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, and round about Him it stormeth mightily.
4 Eɖi ʋɔnu, eye wòyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu eƒe dukɔ,
He calleth to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
5 “Miƒo nye ame kɔkɔewo nu ƒu nam, ame siwo bla nu kplim kple akpedavɔsa.”
'Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.'
6 Dziƒo ɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, elabena Mawu ŋutɔe nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la. (Sela)
And the heavens declare His righteousness; for God, He is judge. (Selah)
7 “See, o nye dukɔ, mele nu ƒo ge, O! Israel, maɖu ɖasefo ɖe ŋuwò, elabena nyee nye Mawu, wò Mawu la.
'Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.
8 Nyemeka mo na wò ɖe wò akpedavɔsa alo numevɔsa siwo le ŋkunye me ɖaa la ta o.
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me.
9 Nyemehiã nyitsu tso wò nyikpo me, alo gbɔ̃wo tso wò gbɔ̃kpo me o,
I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
10 elabena avemelãwo katã tɔnye wonye, kple nyi siwo le togbɛ akpewo dzi.
For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 Menya xevi ɖe sia ɖe si le towo dzi, eye nuwɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe si le gbe me la tɔnyee wonye.
I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
12 Ne dɔe le wuyem la, nyemagblɔe na wò o, elabena xexea me kple nu siwo katã le eme la nye tɔnye.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Ɖe meɖua nyilã alo noa gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋua?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 “Mitsɔ akpedavɔsawo na Mawu, eye mixe miaƒe adzɔgbeɖefewo na Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.
Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High;
15 Miyɔm le xaxagbe, maɖe mi, eye miade bubu ŋutinye.”
And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'
16 Ke Mawu le gbɔgblɔm na ame vɔ̃ɖi la be: “Mɔ ka nèkpɔ be nàxlẽ nye sewo afia, alo alé nye nubabla la ɖe nu?
But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, and that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth?
17 Wò la èlé fu nye nufiame, eye nètsɔ nye nyawo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe.
Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.
18 Ne èkpɔ fiafitɔ la, èwɔa ɖeka kplii, eye nèdea ha kple ahasitɔwo.
When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.
19 Nya vlowo doa go le nuwò, eye wò aɖe blea ame.
Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Ègblɔa nya tsia tsitre ɖe nɔviwò ŋu, eye nèƒoa ɖi dawòvi ŋutsu.
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 Nu siawoe nye nu siwo nèwɔ hafi mezi ɖoɖoe, eye nèsusu be ɖeko mele abe ye ene, gake maka mo na wò, eye mado asi ɖe mo na wò.
These things hast thou done, and should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes.
22 “Bu esia ŋuti, wò ame si ŋlɔ Mawu be, ne menye nenema o la, mavuvu wò kakɛkakɛ, eye ame aɖeke maxɔ wò le asinye o.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Ame si na akpedavɔsa la, de bubu ŋunye, eye wòta mɔ be mafia Mawu ƒe ɖeɖee.”
Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving honoureth Me; and to him that ordereth his way aright will I show the salvation of God.'
