Psalmowo 76

1 Asaf ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. Wonya Mawu le Yuda, eye eƒe ŋkɔ lolo le Israel.

Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

2 Eƒe agbadɔ le Salem, eye eƒe nɔƒe le Zion.

And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

3 Afi ma wòŋe aŋutrɔ bibiwo, akpoxɔnuwo kple yiwo le, nu siwo nye aʋawɔnuwo. (Sela)

In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

4 Keklẽ geɖe ƒo xlã wò, eye nènya kpɔ sãsãsã wu to siwo me adelã le fũu la.

You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

5 Woha kalẽtɔwo, wodɔ woƒe alɔ̃ mamlɛtɔ; aʋawɔla siawo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ hã magate ŋu akɔ eƒe asiwo dzi o.

All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 O! Yakob ƒe Mawu, esi nèblu ko la, sɔ kple tasiaɖam siaa tɔ ɖe teƒe ɖeka.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

7 Wò ko wòle be woavɔ̃. Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe nuwò ne èdo dɔmedzoe?

You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

8 Èɖe gbeƒã wò afiatsotso tso dziƒo, anyigba vɔ̃, eye wòzi ɖoɖoe.

You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

9 O! Mawu, esi nètso be yeatso afia, aɖe anyigba la ƒe hiãtɔwo la, nu sia nu zi ɖoɖoe. (Sela)

when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

10 Vavã, wò dziku helĩhelĩ ɖe amewo ŋu, he kafukafu vɛ na wò, eye ame siwo tsi agbe le wò dziku la megbe la dze akɔ anyi.

For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

11 Miɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, eye mixe adzɔgbeɖefeawo; anyigba siwo katã ƒo xlã mi la netsɔ nunanawo vɛ na Ame si wòle be woavɔ̃ la.

Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

12 Etsi dziɖulawo ƒe gbɔgbɔ nu; anyigbadzifiawo katã vɔ̃nɛ.

even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
