Psalmowo 68
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Mawu tso, na wò futɔwo naka hlẽ, na wò ketɔwo nasi le nuwò.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God — scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from His face.
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 the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, 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.
And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they joy with gladness.
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 ye to God — praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah [is] His name, and exult before Him.
5 eya ame si nye tɔ na tɔmanɔsitɔwo, ahosiwo ta ʋlila, eye wònye Mawu si le enɔƒe kɔkɔe la.
Father of the fatherless, and 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 — causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only — the refractory have inhabited a dry place.
7 O! Mawu, ne èdo dze wò dukɔ la ŋgɔ, hezɔ to gbegbe la, (Sela)
O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy stepping 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 hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai — before 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.
A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it.
10 Mawu, wò amewo yi ɖanɔ edzi, eye tso wò nu gbogboawo me, èna nu ame dahewo.
Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy goodness for the poor, O God.
11 Aƒetɔ ɖe gbeƒã nya la, eye ameha gã aɖe do ɣli kplii be,
The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.
12 “Fiawo kple aʋakɔwo, misi kaba, elabena amewo le afunyinuwo ham le asaɖawo me.
Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportioneth 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 do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
14 Esi Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la kaka anyigbadzifiawo hlẽ la, enɔ abe tsikpee dza ɖe Zalmɔn dzi ene.
When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.
15 Basan towo ƒe dzedzeme kple kɔkɔme nya kpɔ ŋutɔ; to tsaklitsakliwo Basan toawo nye.
A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] 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 do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle 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] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
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 taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.
19 Kafukafu woana Aƒetɔ, Mawu míaƒe Ɖela, ame si tsɔa míaƒe agbawo gbe sia gbe. (Sela)
Blessed [is] the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God Himself [is] our salvation. (Selah)
20 Míaƒe Mawu nye Mawu si xɔna na ame; ɖeɖe tso ku me vana to Aƒetɔ Yehowa ko dzi.
God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.
21 Vavã, Mawu agbã ta na eƒe futɔwo kple dzodome na ame siwo gale woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi yim.
Only — God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.
22 Aƒetɔ la gblɔ be, “Makplɔ wo vɛ tso Basan; makplɔ wo ado goe tso atsiaƒu ƒe gogloƒe ke,
The Lord said: 'From Bashan I bring back, I bring back 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.”
So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, [In the blood of] enemies — the tongue of Thy dogs.'
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, 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.
Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.
26 Mikafu Mawu le ameha gã la dome. Mikafu Yehowa le Israelviwo ƒe takpekpe me.
In assemblies bless ye God, 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 their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun — heads 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, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.
29 Le wò Yerusalem gbedoxɔ ta la, fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ na wò.
Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring a present.
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 a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, Scatter Thou peoples delighting in conflicts.
31 Ame dɔdɔwo atso Egipte ava, eye Kus abɔbɔ eɖokui ɖe Mawu te.
Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to run to God.

Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye the Lord. (Selah)
33 Eya ame si nɔ blemalilikpowo dzi, eye wòɖe gbe kple gbe sesẽ aɖe.
To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong 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, Over Israel [is] His excellency, and His strength 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!
Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed [is] God!
