Psalmowo 60
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “Nubabla ƒe Dzogbenya” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. David kpa nufiameha sia esi wòwɔ aʋa kple Aram Naharaim kple Aram Zobah, kpe ɖe esi Yoab trɔ gbɔ tso aʋa le Dze Balime, afi si wòwu Edomtɔ akpe wuieve le la ŋu. O! Mawu, ègbe mí, èti kpo dze mía dzi, eye nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe mía ŋu, eya ta gbugbɔ mí ɖo te!
Unto the end. For those who will be changed, with the inscription of a title, of David himself, for instruction: when he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal, and Joab turned back and struck Idumea, in the valley of the salt pits, twelve thousand men. O God, you have rejected us, and you have ruined us. You became angry, and yet you have been merciful to us.
2 Èʋuʋu anyigba la, eye nèfee wòle nuvo, eya ta gatre eƒe gbagbãƒeawo, elabena ele ʋuʋum.
You have moved the earth, and you have disturbed it. Heal its breaches, for it has been moved.
3 Èna ɣeyiɣi sesẽwo tu wò dukɔ la, eye nèna wain mí míeno mu hele yiyim sɔgɔsɔgɔsɔgɔ.
You have revealed to your people difficulties. You have made us drink the wine of remorse.
4 Ke hena ame siwo vɔ̃a wò la, èkɔ aflaga dzi be wòanye akpoxɔnu ɖe woƒe aŋutrɔ ŋu. (Sela)
You have given a warning sign to those who fear you, so that they may flee from before the face of the bow, so that your beloved may be delivered.
5 Xɔ na mí, eye nàɖe mí kple wò nuɖusi, be ame siwo nèlɔ̃ la nakpɔ xɔxɔ.
Save me with your right hand, and hear me.
6 Mawu ƒo nu tso eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la be; “Le dziɖuɖu me, mama Sekem, eye madzidze Sukɔt Balime hã.
God has spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Shechem, and I will measure the steep valley of the tabernacles.
7 Gilead nye tɔnye, Manase hã tɔnyee. Nye gakukue nye Efraim, eye Yuda nye nye fiatikplɔ.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. And Ephraim is the strength of my head. Judah is my king.
8 Moab nye nye asiklɔgba, meɖe nye tokota ƒu gbe ɖe Edom dzi, eye medo dziɖuɖuɣli ɖe Filistia ta.”
Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. Into Idumea, I will extend my shoe. To me, the foreigners have been made subject.
9 Ame ka akplɔm ayi du si ŋu woɖo gli sesẽ ƒo xlãe la me? Ame ka akplɔm ayi Edom?
Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me all the way to Idumea?
10 O! Mawu, ɖe menye wòe o la, wò ame si gbe mí, eye mègadona kple míaƒe aʋakɔwo lae oa?
Will not you, O God, who has rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?
11 Kpe ɖe mía ŋu, ɖe míaƒe futɔwo ŋuti, elabena amegbetɔ ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu mele ɖeke me o.
Grant us help from tribulation. For salvation from man is empty.
12 To Mawu dzi, míaɖu dzi, eye míafanya míaƒe futɔwo ɖe anyigba.
In God, we will act virtuously. And those who trouble us, he will lead to nothing.
