< Psalmowo 76 >
1 Asaf ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. Wonya Mawu le Yuda, eye eƒe ŋkɔ lolo le Israel.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.
2 Eƒe agbadɔ le Salem, eye eƒe nɔƒe le Zion.
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 Afi ma wòŋe aŋutrɔ bibiwo, akpoxɔnuwo kple yiwo le, nu siwo nye aʋawɔnuwo. (Sela)
There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
4 Keklẽ geɖe ƒo xlã wò, eye nènya kpɔ sãsãsã wu to siwo me adelã le fũu la.
Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 Woha kalẽtɔwo, wodɔ woƒe alɔ̃ mamlɛtɔ; aʋawɔla siawo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ hã magate ŋu akɔ eƒe asiwo dzi o.
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found 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, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Wò ko wòle be woavɔ̃. Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe nuwò ne èdo dɔmedzoe?
Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8 Èɖe gbeƒã wò afiatsotso tso dziƒo, anyigba vɔ̃, eye wòzi ɖoɖoe.
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, 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 to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
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.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
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, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12 Etsi dziɖulawo ƒe gbɔgbɔ nu; anyigbadzifiawo katã vɔ̃nɛ.
He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible to the kings of the earth.
