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!
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
2 Èʋuʋu anyigba la, eye nèfee wòle nuvo, eya ta gatre eƒe gbagbãƒeawo, elabena ele ʋuʋum.
You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
3 Èna ɣeyiɣi sesẽwo tu wò dukɔ la, eye nèna wain mí míeno mu hele yiyim sɔgɔsɔgɔsɔgɔ.
You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
4 Ke hena ame siwo vɔ̃a wò la, èkɔ aflaga dzi be wòanye akpoxɔnu ɖe woƒe aŋutrɔ ŋu. (Sela)
You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Xɔ na mí, eye nàɖe mí kple wò nuɖusi, be ame siwo nèlɔ̃ la nakpɔ xɔxɔ.
So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
6 Mawu ƒo nu tso eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la be; “Le dziɖuɖu me, mama Sekem, eye madzidze Sukɔt Balime hã.
God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead nye tɔnye, Manase hã tɔnyee. Nye gakukue nye Efraim, eye Yuda nye nye fiatikplɔ.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defence of my head. Judah is my sceptre.
8 Moab nye nye asiklɔgba, meɖe nye tokota ƒu gbe ɖe Edom dzi, eye medo dziɖuɖuɣli ɖe Filistia ta.”
Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9 Ame ka akplɔm ayi du si ŋu woɖo gli sesẽ ƒo xlãe la me? Ame ka akplɔm ayi Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
10 O! Mawu, ɖe menye wòe o la, wò ame si gbe mí, eye mègadona kple míaƒe aʋakɔwo lae oa?
Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.
11 Kpe ɖe mía ŋu, ɖe míaƒe futɔwo ŋuti, elabena amegbetɔ ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu mele ɖeke me o.
Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
12 To Mawu dzi, míaɖu dzi, eye míafanya míaƒe futɔwo ɖe anyigba.
Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
