To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim-eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm. Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.
2 le Efraim, Benyamin kple Manase ŋgɔ. Nyɔ wò ŋusẽ, va nàxɔ na mí.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, let your strength be awake from sleep, and come as our salvation.
3 O! Mawu, gaɖo mí te; na wò mo naklẽ ɖe mía dzi, be míakpɔ xɔxɔ.
Take us back again, O God; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.
4 O! Yehowa, Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi wò dɔmedzoe abi ɖe wò dukɔ ƒe gbedodoɖa ŋu?
O Lord God of armies, how long will your wrath be burning against the rest of your people?
5 Èna aɖatsibolo wo woɖu, eye nèna aɖatsi wo wono taŋtaŋ.
You have given them the bread of weeping for food; for their drink you have given them sorrow in great measure.
6 Ètsɔ mí wɔ dzrewɔnui na míaƒe aƒelikawo, eye míaƒe futɔwo ɖe alɔme le mía ŋu.
You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.
7 O! Mawu, Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, gaɖo mí te; na wò mo naklẽ ɖe mía dzi, be míakpɔ xɔxɔ.
Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.
8 Ètsɔ wainka tso Egipte, ènya dukɔwo, eye nèdoe.
You took a vine out of Egypt: driving out the nations, and planting it in their land.
9 Èdzra eŋuti ɖo nyuie, eye wòto ke hevu tsyɔ anyigba.
You made ready a place for it, so that it might take deep root, and it sent out its branches over all the land.
10 Edo vɔvɔli ɖe towo tame eye wòɖe alɔ de sedati kɔkɔwo tame.
The mountains were covered with its shade, and the great trees with its branches.
11 Eɖe alɔ yi ɖe keke ƒuta ke, eye eƒe kewo yi ɖe keke Frat tɔsisi la nu ke.
It sent out its arms to the Sea, and its branches to the River.
12 Nu ka ŋuti nègbã kpɔ le eŋu, ale be ame siwo to afi ma yi la fɔ wain tsetsewo?
Why are its walls broken down by your hands, so that all who go by may take its fruit?
13 Gbehawo nya avuzi le edzi, eye gbemelãwo ɖui.
It is uprooted by the pigs from the woods, the beasts of the field get their food from it.
14 Trɔ va mía gbɔ, O Mawu, Ŋusẽkatãtɔ! Do kɔ ɖa tso dziƒo, eye nàkpɔ nu! Kpɔ wainka sia ta,
Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,
15 ke si wò nuɖusi do, viŋutsu si wò ŋutɔ nèhe wòtsi.
Even to the tree which was planted by your right hand, and to the branch which you made strong for yourself.
16 Wolã wò wainka, wotɔ dzoe, eye wò mokaname na wò amewo tsrɔ̃.
It is burned with fire; it is cut down: they are made waste by the wrath of your face.
17 Wò asi nenɔ ŋutsu si le wò nuɖusime, amegbetɔvi si nènyi na ɖokuiwò la dzi.
Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18 Ekema míatrɔ le yowòme o; gbɔ agbe mí, eye míayɔ wò ŋkɔ.
So will we not be turned back from you; keep us in life, and we will give praise to your name.
19 O! Yehowa, Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, gaɖo mí te; na wò mo nàklẽ ɖe mía dzi be míakpɔ xɔxɔ.
Take us back, O Lord God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.
