Psalmowo 68
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Mawu tso, na wò futɔwo naka hlẽ, na wò ketɔwo nasi le nuwò.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 Gbɔ wo ɖa abe ale si ya gbɔa dzudzɔ dzonae ene. Abe ale si yɔkumi lolõna le dzo nu ene la, nenema ame vɔ̃ɖiwo atsrɔ̃e le Mawu ŋkume.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Ke ame dzɔdzɔewo ya akpɔ dzidzɔ, atso aseye le Mawu ŋkume; na woakpɔ dzidzɔ, eye woatu aglo.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Midzi ha na Mawu, midzi kafukafuha na eƒe ŋkɔ, mido ame si le lilikpowo dzi gbɔna la ɖe dzi, eŋkɔe nye Yehowa, eye mitso aseye le eŋgɔ;
Sing to God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
5 eya ame si nye tɔ na tɔmanɔsitɔwo, ahosiwo ta ʋlila, eye wònye Mawu si le enɔƒe kɔkɔe la.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Mawu kplɔa ame siwo tsi akogo la dea ƒomewo me, enana ablɔɖe gamenɔlawo, eye wodzia dzidzɔhawo. Ke ame dzeaglãwo la, egblẽa wo ɖe kuɖiɖinyigba dzi.
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those who are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 O! Mawu, ne èdo dze wò dukɔ la ŋgɔ, hezɔ to gbegbe la, (Sela)
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
8 anyigba ʋuʋu, dziƒowo dza tsi bɔbɔbɔ le Mawu, si nɔ Sinai la ŋkume, le Mawu, Israel ƒe Mawu la ŋkume.
The earth shook, the heavens also rained at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 O! Mawu, èna tsi dza fũu, eye nèna wò domenyinu si nu ti kɔ na belibelibeli la gakpɔ ŋusẽ.
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou didst confirm thy inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Mawu, wò amewo yi ɖanɔ edzi, eye tso wò nu gbogboawo me, èna nu ame dahewo.
Thy congregation hath dwelt in it: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 Aƒetɔ ɖe gbeƒã nya la, eye ameha gã aɖe do ɣli kplii be,
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that proclaimed it.
12 “Fiawo kple aʋakɔwo, misi kaba, elabena amewo le afunyinuwo ham le asaɖawo me.
Kings of armies fled apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Esi miele alɔ̃ dɔm le lãkpowo dome la, wotsɔ klosalo fa ɖe nye ahɔnɛ ƒe aʋala ŋu, eye wotsɔ sika si le keklẽm la fa ɖe eƒe fuwo ŋuti.”
Though ye lie among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 Esi Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la kaka anyigbadzifiawo hlẽ la, enɔ abe tsikpee dza ɖe Zalmɔn dzi ene.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 Basan towo ƒe dzedzeme kple kɔkɔme nya kpɔ ŋutɔ; to tsaklitsakliwo Basan toawo nye.
The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 O! To tsaklitsakliwo, nu ka ta mietsɔ ŋuʋaʋã ƒe ŋku le to si Mawu tia be wòanye yeƒe fiazikpui ƒe nɔƒe kple Yehowa ŋutɔ ƒe nɔƒe tegbee la kpɔmii?
Why leap ye, ye lofty hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
17 Mawu ƒe tasiaɖamwo nye akpe nanewo kple akpe teƒe akpewo; Aƒetɔ la tso Sinai va ɖo eƒe teƒe kɔkɔe la.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Esi nèlia yi dzi la, ètɔ ka aboyomewo hekplɔ dzoe, èxɔ nunana tso amewo gbɔ, tso aglãdzelawo gɔ̃ hã gbɔ, be wò, O! Yehowa Mawu, àte ŋu anɔ afi ma.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
19 Kafukafu woana Aƒetɔ, Mawu míaƒe Ɖela, ame si tsɔa míaƒe agbawo gbe sia gbe. (Sela)
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (Selah)
20 Míaƒe Mawu nye Mawu si xɔna na ame; ɖeɖe tso ku me vana to Aƒetɔ Yehowa ko dzi.
He that is our God is the God of salvation; and to GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 Vavã, Mawu agbã ta na eƒe futɔwo kple dzodome na ame siwo gale woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi yim.
But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 Aƒetɔ la gblɔ be, “Makplɔ wo vɛ tso Basan; makplɔ wo ado goe tso atsiaƒu ƒe gogloƒe ke,
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 be nàklɔ afɔ ɖe wò futɔwo ƒe ʋu me, eye wò avuwo ƒe aɖewo hã nakpɔ wo tɔ gome.”
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 O! Mawu, wole míaƒe azɔlime kpɔm, wole ale si nye Mawu kple fianye zɔ ge ɖe kɔkɔeƒe lae la kpɔm.
They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 Woɖo ɖe fli me, hadzilawo le ŋgɔgbe, hafialawo ɖo, eye ɖetugbi siwo le axatsɛ ƒom la tsɔ wo ɖe dome.
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Mikafu Mawu le ameha gã la dome. Mikafu Yehowa le Israelviwo ƒe takpekpe me.
Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27 Kpɔ ɖa, Benyamin ƒe to si nye suetɔ lae le ŋgɔ na wo, Yuda ƒe dumegã gbogboawo le afi ma, eye Zebulon kple Naftali ƒe amegãwo hã le afi ma.
There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their counsel, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 O! Mawu, yɔ wò ŋusẽ vɛ; O! Mawu, ɖe wò ŋusẽ fia mí abe tsã ene.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Le wò Yerusalem gbedoxɔ ta la, fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ na wò.
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to thee.
30 Blu ɖe lã wɔadã siwo le aƒlawo me kple nyitsuwo ƒe ha siwo le dukɔwo ƒe nyiviwo dome la ta. Netsɔ klosalokɔ gãwo vɛ le ɖokuibɔbɔ me. Kaka dukɔ siwo aʋawɔwɔ doa dzidzɔ na.
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one shall submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
31 Ame dɔdɔwo atso Egipte ava, eye Kus abɔbɔ eɖokui ɖe Mawu te.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Cush shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
32 O! Mi anyigbadzifiaɖuƒewo, midzi ha na Mawu, midzi kafukafuha na Aƒetɔ la, (Sela)
Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises to the Lord; (Selah)
33 Eya ame si nɔ blemalilikpowo dzi, eye wòɖe gbe kple gbe sesẽ aɖe.
To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Miɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ, ame si ƒe atsyɔ̃ le Israel dzi, eye eƒe ŋusẽ le dziŋgɔli ŋu.
Ascribe ye strength to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 O! Mawu, ŋɔdzi le ŋuwò le wò kɔkɔeƒe la; Israel ƒe Mawu la na ŋusẽ kple ŋutete eƒe dukɔ la. Woakafu Mawu!
O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
