< Psalmowo 66 >
1 Ha na hɛnɔ la. Mi anyigbawo katã mido ɣli, mitso aseye ɖe Mawu ŋu!
For the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
2 Midzi eƒe ŋkɔ ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe ha; mikafu Mawu ƒe gãnyenye!
Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
3 Migblɔ na Mawu be, “Wò dɔwɔwɔwo dziŋɔ loo! Wò ŋusẽ tri akɔ ale gbegbe be, wò futɔwo de ta agu na wò.
Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.
4 Anyigba la katã de ta agu na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò ŋkɔ.” (Sela)
All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.”
5 Va, nàkpɔ nu si Mawu wɔ, ale si le amegbetɔwo ta wòwɔ ŋɔdzidɔ geɖewo!
Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.
6 Etrɔ atsiaƒu wòzu anyigba ƒuƒui, wozɔ afɔ to tsi la titina; miva míatso aseye le eya amea me.
He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.
7 Ele fia ɖum kple eƒe ŋusẽ tegbee, eƒe ŋku le dukɔwo ta kpɔm, aglãdzela aɖeke megatso ɖe eŋuti o. (Sela)
He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
8 O! Mi dukɔwo, mikafu míaƒe Mawu la; mina eƒe kafukafu nade dzi woase.
Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.
9 Eyae kpɔ míaƒe agbe ta, eye mena míaƒe afɔ ɖiɖi o.
He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.
10 Elabena O Mawu, wòe do mí kpɔ, wòe lolõ mí abe klosalo ene.
For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.
11 Wòe de mí gaxɔ me, eye nèdo agba ɖe megbe na mí.
You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.
12 Èna amewo zɔ míaƒe ta dzi, eye míeto dzo me kple tɔ me, gake èkplɔ mí va anyigba si dzi nuwo do agbogbo ɖo fũu.
You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.
13 Mava wò gbedoxɔ me kple numevɔsa, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo na wò,
I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—
14 adzɔgbe siwo nye nuyi ɖe, eye nye nu ɖe gbeƒã wo, esi meɖo xaxa me.
the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.
15 Matsɔ lã damiwo kple agbowo asa numevɔe na wò, hekpe ɖe nyitsuwo kple gbɔ̃wo ŋuti. (Sela)
I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.
16 Miva se, mí ame siwo katã vɔ̃a Mawu; mina magblɔ nu siwo wòwɔ nam la na mi.
Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.
17 Metsɔ nye nu do ɣli nɛ, eƒe kafukafu le nye aɖe dzi.
I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.
18 Ɖe mena nɔƒe nu vɔ̃ le nye dzi me la, ne Aƒetɔ la meɖo tom o,
If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
19 gake Mawu ɖo tom vavã, eye wòse nye gbe le gbedodoɖa me.
But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.
20 Woakafu Mawu, ame si medo toku nye gbedodoɖa, alo te eƒe lɔlɔ̃ ɖa le gbɔnye o!
Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!
