Psalmowo 77
1 Asaf ƒe ha na Hɛnɔ Yedutun. Medo ɣli na Mawu be wòaxɔ nam; medo ɣli na Mawu be wòaɖo tom.
For the leader. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph, a psalm. Loudly will I lift my cry to God, loudly to God, so he hears to me.
2 Esi meɖo xaxa me la, medi Aƒetɔ la; le zã me la, meke nye abɔwo me, gake ɖeɖi mete wo ŋu o, eye nye luʋɔ gbe akɔfafaxɔxɔ.
In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night I lift my hands in prayer, refusing all comfort.
3 O! Mawu, meɖo ŋku dziwò, eye meɖe hũu. Mele ŋeŋem, eye nu te nye gbɔgbɔ ŋu. (Sela)
When I think of God, I moan; when I muse, my spirit is faint. (Selah)
4 Èna nye ŋkuwo gbe miamia; fuɖeɖewo sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be nyemate ŋu aƒo nu o.
When you hold my eyes awake, and I am restless and speechless,
5 Mebu gbe aɖe gbe ŋkekewo kple blemaƒewo ŋu.
I think of the days of old, call to mind distant years.
6 Tete meɖo ŋku ha siwo medzina le zã me la dzi. Nye dzi gbã, eye nye gbɔgbɔ bia be:
I commune with my heart in the night, I muse with inquiring spirit.
7 “Ɖe Aƒetɔ la agbe ame tegbetegbea? Ɖe magave ame nu akpɔ oa?
“Will the Lord cast us off forever, will he be gracious no more?
8 Ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la vɔ tegbetegbea? Ɖe eƒe ŋugbedodo vɔ hena ɣeyiɣiawo katã?
Has his love vanished forever? Is his faithfulness utterly gone?
9 Ɖe Mawu ŋlɔ nublanuikpɔkpɔ bea? Ɖe wòɖo asi eƒe dɔmenyonyo dzi le dɔmedzoe ta?” (Sela)
Has God forgotten to be gracious, or in anger withheld his compassion?” (Selah)
10 Tete megblɔ be, “Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe nuɖusi ƒe ƒewo ko maƒo koko na.”
Then I said, “This it is that grieves me, that the hand of the Most High has changed.”
11 Maɖo ŋku Yehowa ƒe nuwɔwɔwo dzi, ɛ̃, maɖo ŋku nukunu siwo nèwɔ le blema la dzi.
I will think of the deeds of the Lord, and remember your wonders of old.
12 Made ŋugble le wò dɔwɔwɔwo katã ŋu, eye mabu ta me le wò nuwɔwɔ dzɔatsuwo ŋu.
I will muse on all you have wrought, and meditate on your deeds.
13 O! Mawu, wò mɔwo le kɔkɔe mawu kae lolo abe míaƒe Mawu la ene?
Then your way, O God, was majestic: what God was great as our God?
14 Wòe nye Mawu si wɔ nukunuwo, eye nèɖe wò ŋusẽ fia le dukɔwo dome.
You were a God who did marvels, you did show your power to the world
15 Ètsɔ wò abɔ sesẽ la ɖe wò dukɔ la, ame siwo nye Yakob kple Yosef ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)
by your arm you rescued your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 O! Mawu, tsiwo kpɔ wò, tsiwo kpɔ wò, eye woŋe, gogloƒewo ke hã dzo nyanyanya.
The waters saw you, O God. The waters saw you and shivered; to their depths they trembled.
17 Lilikpo ɖuɖu tsi bababa, dziŋgɔli ɖe gbe, eye wò aŋutrɔwo klẽ dzo bibibi, yi gagbɔ.
Clouds poured torrents of water, thunder rolled in the sky, your arrows sped to and fro.
18 Wose wò gbeɖeɖe le yali me, wò dzikedzo klẽ ɖe xexea me, eye anyigba ʋuʋu hedzo nyanyanya.
Loud was the roll of your thunder, lightnings lit up the world. Earth quaked and trembled.
19 Wò mɔ to atsiaƒu me, eye wò toƒe le tɔ gãwo me, gake womekpɔa wò afɔteƒe o.
In your way, Lord, through the sea, in your path through the mighty waters, your footsteps were all unseen.
20 Èkplɔ wò dukɔ abe alẽha ene, to Mose kple Aron ƒe asiwo dzi.
You did guide your folk like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
