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. The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2 Mawu klẽ tso Zion le eƒe anidzedze blibo la me.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone.
3 Míaƒe Mawu la gbɔna, ahom le tutum le eŋgɔ, dzo le nu bim le eŋgɔ, eye mazi ɖoɖoe o.
Our God comes and does not stay silent; a fire devours before him, and it is very stormy around him.
4 Eɖi ʋɔnu, eye wòyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu eƒe dukɔ,
He calls to the heavens above and to the earth so that he may judge his people:
5 “Miƒo nye ame kɔkɔewo nu ƒu nam, ame siwo bla nu kplim kple akpedavɔsa.”
“Gather my faithful ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6 Dziƒo ɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, elabena Mawu ŋutɔe nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la. (Sela)
The heavens will declare his righteousness, for God himself 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, my people, and I will speak; I am God, 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; your burnt offerings are always before me.
9 Nyemehiã nyitsu tso wò nyikpo me, alo gbɔ̃wo tso wò gbɔ̃kpo me o,
I will take no bull out of your house, or male 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 on 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 birds 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 everything in it.
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 to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.
15 Miyɔm le xaxagbe, maɖe mi, eye miade bubu ŋutinye.”
Call on me in the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you will 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 to the wicked God says, “What have you to do with declaring my statutes, that you have taken my covenant in your mouth,
17 Wò la èlé fu nye nufiame, eye nètsɔ nye nyawo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe.
since you hate instruction and throw my words away?
18 Ne èkpɔ fiafitɔ la, èwɔa ɖeka kplii, eye nèdea ha kple ahasitɔwo.
When you see a thief, you agree with him; you participate with those who commit adultery.
19 Nya vlowo doa go le nuwò, eye wò aɖe blea ame.
You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue expresses 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.
You have done these things, but I have kept silent, so you thought that I was someone just like yourself. But I will reprove you and bring up, right before your eyes, all the things you have done.
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.
Give this careful consideration, you who forget God, otherwise I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one to come to help you!
23 Ame si na akpedavɔsa la, de bubu ŋunye, eye wòta mɔ be mafia Mawu ƒe ɖeɖee.”
The one who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving praises me, and to anyone who plans his path in the right way I will show God's salvation.”
