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.
The mighty God, even the LORD, has 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 has shined.
3 Míaƒe Mawu la gbɔna, ahom le tutum le eŋgɔ, dzo le nu bim le eŋgɔ, eye mazi ɖoɖoe o.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 Eɖi ʋɔnu, eye wòyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu eƒe dukɔ,
He shall call to the heavens from 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 shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. (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 you: I am God, even your God.
8 Nyemeka mo na wò ɖe wò akpedavɔsa alo numevɔsa siwo le ŋkunye me ɖaa la ta o.
I will not reprove you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 Nyemehiã nyitsu tso wò nyikpo me, alo gbɔ̃wo tso wò gbɔ̃kpo me o,
I will take no bullock out of your house, nor he goats out of your 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 you: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.
13 Ɖe meɖua nyilã alo noa gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋua?
Will 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 thanksgiving; and pay your 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 you, and you shall glorify 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 says, What have you to do to declare my statutes, or that you should take my covenant in your mouth?
17 Wò la èlé fu nye nufiame, eye nètsɔ nye nyawo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe.
Seeing you hate instruction, and casts my words behind you.
18 Ne èkpɔ fiafitɔ la, èwɔa ɖeka kplii, eye nèdea ha kple ahasitɔwo.
When you saw a thief, then you consented with him, and have been partaker with adulterers.
19 Nya vlowo doa go le nuwò, eye wò aɖe blea ame.
You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit.
20 Ègblɔa nya tsia tsitre ɖe nɔviwò ŋu, eye nèƒoa ɖi dawòvi ŋutsu.
You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your 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 have you done, and I kept silence; you thought that I was altogether such an one as yourself: but I will reprove you, and set them in order before your 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, all of you that forget God, lest I tear you 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 offers praise glorifies me: and to him that orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.
