< Psalmowo 76 >

1 Asaf ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. Wonya Mawu le Yuda, eye eƒe ŋkɔ lolo le Israel.
“For the leader of the music. Upon stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph.” In Judah is God known; Great is his name in Israel.
2 Eƒe agbadɔ le Salem, eye eƒe nɔƒe le Zion.
In Jerusalem is his tabernacle, And in Zion his dwelling-place.
3 Afi ma wòŋe aŋutrɔ bibiwo, akpoxɔnuwo kple yiwo le, nu siwo nye aʋawɔnuwo. (Sela)
There brake he the lightning of the bow, The shield, the sword, and all the weapons of battle.
4 Keklẽ geɖe ƒo xlã wò, eye nènya kpɔ sãsãsã wu to siwo me adelã le fũu la.
More glorious and excellent art thou Than those mountains of robbers!
5 Woha kalẽtɔwo, wodɔ woƒe alɔ̃ mamlɛtɔ; aʋawɔla siawo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ hã magate ŋu akɔ eƒe asiwo dzi o.
Spoiled are the stout-hearted; They sank into their sleep; The hands of the mighty were powerless.
6 O! Yakob ƒe Mawu, esi nèblu ko la, sɔ kple tasiaɖam siaa tɔ ɖe teƒe ɖeka.
Before thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Fell chariot and horseman into a deep sleep!
7 Wò ko wòle be woavɔ̃. Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe nuwò ne èdo dɔmedzoe?
Thou, thou, O God! art terrible! Who can stand before thee in thine anger?
8 Èɖe gbeƒã wò afiatsotso tso dziƒo, anyigba vɔ̃, eye wòzi ɖoɖoe.
Thou didst cause 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 to judgment, To save all the oppressed 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.
The wrath of man shall praise thee, When thou girdest on the whole of thy wrath!
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 and perform vows to Jehovah, your God! Let all that dwell around him bring gifts to the terrible One,
12 Etsi dziɖulawo ƒe gbɔgbɔ nu; anyigbadzifiawo katã vɔ̃nɛ.
Who casteth down the pride of princes, Who is terrible to the kings of the earth!
