Psalmowo 66
1 Ha na hɛnɔ la. Mi anyigbawo katã mido ɣli, mitso aseye ɖe Mawu ŋu!
“To the chief musician, a song or psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God, all ye lands:
2 Midzi eƒe ŋkɔ ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe ha; mikafu Mawu ƒe gãnyenye!
Sing forth the glory of his name; make glorious his praise.
3 Migblɔ na Mawu be, “Wò dɔwɔwɔwo dziŋɔ loo! Wò ŋusẽ tri akɔ ale gbegbe be, wò futɔwo de ta agu na wò.
Say unto God, How fear-inspiring is every one of thy works! through the greatness of thy strength will thy enemies yield feigned obedience unto thee.
4 Anyigba la katã de ta agu na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò ŋkɔ.” (Sela)
All the lands shall bow themselves down unto thee, and shall sing praises unto thee; they shall sing praises to thy name. (Selah)
5 Va, nàkpɔ nu si Mawu wɔ, ale si le amegbetɔwo ta wòwɔ ŋɔdzidɔ geɖewo!
Come and see the deeds of God: fear-inspiring is his doing toward the children of men.
6 Etrɔ atsiaƒu wòzu anyigba ƒuƒui, wozɔ afɔ to tsi la titina; miva míatso aseye le eya amea me.
He changed the sea into dry land: through the river they went on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 Ele fia ɖum kple eƒe ŋusẽ tegbee, eƒe ŋku le dukɔwo ta kpɔm, aglãdzela aɖeke megatso ɖe eŋuti o. (Sela)
He ruleth by his might for ever; his eyes look upon the nations: the rebellious—these shall not be exalted. (Selah)
8 O! Mi dukɔwo, mikafu míaƒe Mawu la; mina eƒe kafukafu nade dzi woase.
Bless, O ye people, our God, and cause the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Eyae kpɔ míaƒe agbe ta, eye mena míaƒe afɔ ɖiɖi o.
Who hath appointed our soul to life, and hath not suffered our foot to slip.
10 Elabena O Mawu, wòe do mí kpɔ, wòe lolõ mí abe klosalo ene.
For thou hast proved us, O God: thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.
11 Wòe de mí gaxɔ me, eye nèdo agba ɖe megbe na mí.
Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast placed fetters upon our loins.
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.
Thou hast caused men to ride on our head: we entered into fire and into water; but thou broughtest us out to [the enjoyment] of overflowing plenty. a
13 Mava wò gbedoxɔ me kple numevɔsa, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo na wò,
I will enter thy house with burnt-offerings: I will pay unto thee my vows,
14 adzɔgbe siwo nye nuyi ɖe, eye nye nu ɖe gbeƒã wo, esi meɖo xaxa me.
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.
15 Matsɔ lã damiwo kple agbowo asa numevɔe na wò, hekpe ɖe nyitsuwo kple gbɔ̃wo ŋuti. (Sela)
Burnt-offerings of fatlings will I offer up unto thee, with the incense of rams; I will prepare steers with he-goats. (Selah)
16 Miva se, mí ame siwo katã vɔ̃a Mawu; mina magblɔ nu siwo wòwɔ nam la na mi.
Come, hear, and I will relate, all ye that fear God, what he hath done for my soul.
17 Metsɔ nye nu do ɣli nɛ, eƒe kafukafu le nye aɖe dzi.
Unto him I cried with my mouth, and a song of extolling was on my tongue.
18 Ɖe mena nɔƒe nu vɔ̃ le nye dzi me la, ne Aƒetɔ la meɖo tom o,
If I had looked on wickedness with my heart, the Lord would not have heard;
19 gake Mawu ɖo tom vavã, eye wòse nye gbe le gbedodoɖa me.
But verily God hath heard; he hath listened to the voice of my prayer.
20 Woakafu Mawu, ame si medo toku nye gbedodoɖa, alo te eƒe lɔlɔ̃ ɖa le gbɔnye o!
Blessed be God, who hath not removed my prayer [from him], nor his kindness from me.
