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, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

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

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

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

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

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

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

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 were troubled. 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 thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

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

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

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

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

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

When God arose in judgment, to save 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 thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

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.

Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

12 Etsi dziɖulawo ƒe gbɔgbɔ nu; anyigbadzifiawo katã vɔ̃nɛ.

Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
