Psalmowo 74
1 Asaf ƒe nufiameha. O! Mawu, nu ka ŋuti nègble mí ɖi ɖikaa? Nu ka ta wò dɔmedzoe bi ɖe wò alẽ siwo le wò lãnyiƒe ŋuti?
The lernyng of Asaph. God, whi hast thou put awei in to the ende; thi strong veniaunce is wrooth on the scheep of thi leesewe?
2 Ɖo ŋku ame siwo nèƒle le blema, dukɔ si nye wò domenyinu, ame siwo nèɖe kple Zion, to afi si nènɔ la dzi.
Be thou myndeful of thi gadering togidere; which thou haddist in possessioun fro the bigynnyng. Thou ayenbouytist the yerde of thin eritage; the hille of Syon in which thou dwellidist ther ynne.
3 Trɔ ɖe gli siwo gbã ɖikaɖika la ŋu, gbegblẽ siawoe futɔ la he va wò teƒe kɔkɔe lae.
Reise thin hondis in to the prides of hem; hou grete thingis the enemy dide wickidli in the hooli.
4 Wò futɔwo le gbe ɖem le afi si nèdo go mí le; wova tsi woƒe aflaga ɖe teƒe la be wòanye dzesi anɔ afi ma.
And thei that hatiden thee; hadden glorie in the myddis of thi solempnete.
5 Wole nu wɔm abe ŋutsu siwo lé fia ɖe asi le ave dodowo me be woalã atiwo ene.
Thei settiden her signes, `ethir baneris, signes on the hiyeste, as in the outgoing; and thei knewen not.
6 Wotsɔ woƒe fiawo kple yiwo dza aɖaŋu siwo wowɔ ɖe gliawo ŋu.
As in a wode of trees thei heweden doun with axis the yatis therof in to it silf; thei castiden doun it with an ax, and a brood fallinge ax.
7 Wotɔ dzo wò kɔkɔeƒe la wòbi va anyigba, eye wodo gu teƒe si wò Ŋkɔ nɔna.
Thei brenten with fier thi seyntuarie; thei defouliden the tabernacle of thi name in erthe.
8 Wogblɔ le woƒe dzi me be, “Míagbã wo gudugudu!” Wotɔ dzo teƒe sia teƒe si wosubɔa Mawu le, le anyigba dzi.
The kynrede of hem seiden togidere in her herte; Make we alle the feest daies of God to ceesse fro the erthe.
9 Womegawɔa nukunu aɖeke na mí o; womegblẽ nyagblɔɖila aɖeke ɖi o eye mía dometɔ aɖeke menya ɣeyiɣi si nu sia nu ava yi o.
We han not seyn oure signes, now `no profete is; and he schal no more knowe vs.
10 O! Mawu, ɣe ka ɣi futɔ la aɖu fewu le ŋuwò ase ɖo? Ɖe ketɔ la ado vlo wò ŋkɔ tegbeea?
God, hou long schal the enemye seie dispit? the aduersarie territh to ire thi name in to the ende.
11 Nu ka ta nèhe wò asi, wò nuɖusi ɖe megbe ɖo? Ɖe wò asi doe le wò awu te, eye nàtsrɔ̃ wo!
Whi turnest thou awei thin hoond, and `to drawe out thi riythond fro the myddis of thi bosum, til in to the ende?
12 Ke wò la, O Mawu, wòe nye fianye tso blema ke; wòe tsɔ ɖeɖe va anyigba la dzi.
Forsothe God oure kyng bifore worldis; wrouyte heelthe in the mydis of erthe.
13 Wòe tsɔ wò ŋusẽ ma atsiaƒu, eye nègbã tɔmelã dziŋɔwo ƒe ta le tsiwo me.
Thou madist sad the see bi thi vertu; thou hast troblid the heedis of dragouns in watris.
14 Wòe gbã Leviatan ƒe ta, eye nètsɔe wɔ nuɖuɖui na gbemelãwo.
Thou hast broke the heedis of `the dragoun; thou hast youe hym to mete to the puplis of Ethiopiens.
15 Wòe ʋu nu le tsitsetsewo kple tɔʋuwo nu wosi bababa, eye wòe na tɔ siwo sina ɖaa la mie.
Thou hast broke wellis, and strondis; thou madist drie the flodis of Ethan.
16 Ŋkeke nye tɔwò, eye zã hã tɔwòe; wòe wɔ ɣe kple ɣleti.
The dai is thin, and the niyt is thin; thou madist the moreutid and the sunne.
17 Wòe ɖo liƒo na anyigba, eye wòe wɔ vuvɔŋɔli kple dzomeŋɔli.
Thou madist alle the endis of erthe; somer and veer tyme, thou fourmedist tho.
18 O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku ale si futɔ la do vlo wò kple ale si bometsilawo ɖe alɔme le wò ŋkɔ ŋuti la dzi.
Be thou myndeful of this thing, the enemye hath seid schenschip to the Lord; and the vnwijs puple hath excitid to ire thi name.
19 Mègatsɔ wò akpakpa ƒe agbe de asi na lãwɔadãwo o, eye mègaŋlɔ wò hiãtɔwo ƒe gbe be ɖikaa o.
Bitake thou not to beestis men knoulechenge to thee; and foryete thou not in to the ende the soulis of thi pore men.
20 Tsɔ ɖe le wò nubabla la me, elabena ŋutasesẽ ƒe wɔnawo yɔ anyigba la ƒe ɣaɣlɛƒewo fũu.
Biholde in to thi testament; for thei that ben maad derk of erthe, ben fillid with the housis of wickidnessis.
21 Mègana ame siwo wote ɖe anyi la nate gbugbɔɖemegbe kple ŋukpe o; ke boŋ ame dahewo kple hiãtɔwo nekafu wò ŋkɔ.
A meke man be not turned awei maad aschamed; a pore man and nedi schulen herie thi name.
22 O! Mawu, tso eye nàʋli wò bubu ta; ɖo ŋku ale si bometsilawo le alɔme ɖem le ŋuwò ŋkeke blibo lae dzi.
God, rise vp, deme thou thi cause; be thou myndeful of thin vpbreidyngis, of tho that ben al dai of the vnwise man.
23 Mègado toku wò futɔwo ƒe ʋunyaʋunyawɔwɔ, kple wò ketɔwo ƒe howɔwɔ si le dzi dem ɖaa la o.
Foryete thou not the voices of thin enemyes; the pride of hem that haten thee, stieth euere.
