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 God of gods — Jehovah — hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
2 Mawu klẽ tso Zion le eƒe anidzedze blibo la me.
From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
3 Míaƒe Mawu la gbɔna, ahom le tutum le eŋgɔ, dzo le nu bim le eŋgɔ, eye mazi ɖoɖoe o.
Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
4 Eɖi ʋɔnu, eye wòyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu eƒe dukɔ,
He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
5 “Miƒo nye ame kɔkɔewo nu ƒu nam, ame siwo bla nu kplim kple akpedavɔsa.”
Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
6 Dziƒo ɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, elabena Mawu ŋutɔe nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la. (Sela)
And the heavens 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, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I 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.
Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
9 Nyemehiã nyitsu tso wò nyikpo me, alo gbɔ̃wo tso wò gbɔ̃kpo me o,
I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
10 elabena avemelãwo katã tɔnye wonye, kple nyi siwo le togbɛ akpewo dzi.
For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
11 Menya xevi ɖe sia ɖe si le towo dzi, eye nuwɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe si le gbe me la tɔnyee wonye.
I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
12 Ne dɔe le wuyem la, nyemagblɔe na wò o, elabena xexea me kple nu siwo katã le eme la nye tɔnye.
If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
13 Ɖe meɖua nyilã alo noa gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋua?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
14 “Mitsɔ akpedavɔsawo na Mawu, eye mixe miaƒe adzɔgbeɖefewo na Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.
Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
15 Miyɔm le xaxagbe, maɖe mi, eye miade bubu ŋutinye.”
And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest 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?
And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
17 Wò la èlé fu nye nufiame, eye nètsɔ nye nyawo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe.
Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
18 Ne èkpɔ fiafitɔ la, èwɔa ɖeka kplii, eye nèdea ha kple ahasitɔwo.
If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
19 Nya vlowo doa go le nuwò, eye wò aɖe blea ame.
Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
20 Ègblɔa nya tsia tsitre ɖe nɔviwò ŋu, eye nèƒoa ɖi dawòvi ŋutsu.
Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
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 thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array 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.
Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
23 Ame si na akpedavɔsa la, de bubu ŋunye, eye wòta mɔ be mafia Mawu ƒe ɖeɖee.”
He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
