Psalmowo 66
1 Ha na hɛnɔ la. Mi anyigbawo katã mido ɣli, mitso aseye ɖe Mawu ŋu!
To the Chief Musician. A Melodious Song. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;
2 Midzi eƒe ŋkɔ ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe ha; mikafu Mawu ƒe gãnyenye!
Praise ye in song the glory of his Name, Celebrate the glory of 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 fearful in thy doings, Through the abounding of thy power, shall thy foes come cringing 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 earth, shall bow themselves down to thee, And sing praises unto thee, Shall praise in song thy Name. (Selah)
5 Va, nàkpɔ nu si Mawu wɔ, ale si le amegbetɔwo ta wòwɔ ŋɔdzidɔ geɖewo!
Come and see the doings of God, —Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:
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, Through the stream, crossed they over 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)
Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. (Selah)
8 O! Mi dukɔwo, mikafu míaƒe Mawu la; mina eƒe kafukafu nade dzi woase.
Bless our God, O ye peoples, And cause to be heard, the sound of his praise; —
9 Eyae kpɔ míaƒe agbe ta, eye mena míaƒe afɔ ɖiɖi o.
Who hath set our soul among the living, And hath not suffered, our foot, to slip.
10 Elabena O Mawu, wòe do mí kpɔ, wòe lolõ mí abe klosalo ene.
For thou didst prove us, O God, Thou didst refine us, according to the refining of silver:
11 Wòe de mí gaxɔ me, eye nèdo agba ɖe megbe na mí.
Thou didst bring us into the hunter’s net, Thou didst lay a load 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 didst let men ride at our head; We went into fire and into water, But thou didst bring us forth into freedom.
13 Mava wò gbedoxɔ me kple numevɔsa, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo na wò,
I will enter thy house with ascending-sacrifices, 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 uttered, And my mouth spake, in my distress.
15 Matsɔ lã damiwo kple agbowo asa numevɔe na wò, hekpe ɖe nyitsuwo kple gbɔ̃wo ŋuti. (Sela)
Ascending-sacrifices of fatlings, will I cause to ascend unto thee, With the perfume of rams, I will offer bulls, with he-goats. (Selah)
16 Miva se, mí ame siwo katã vɔ̃a Mawu; mina magblɔ nu siwo wòwɔ nam la na mi.
Come! hearken—that I may recount, all ye reverers of God, What he hath done for my soul: —
17 Metsɔ nye nu do ɣli nɛ, eƒe kafukafu le nye aɖe dzi.
Unto him—with my mouth, did I cry, And high praise was under my tongue.
18 Ɖe mena nɔƒe nu vɔ̃ le nye dzi me la, ne Aƒetɔ la meɖo tom o,
If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!
19 gake Mawu ɖo tom vavã, eye wòse nye gbe le gbedodoɖa me.
But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended 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 turned away my prayer, Nor his own lovingkindness from me.
