Psalmowo 81
1 Asaf ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe gitit ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Midzi ha, mikpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe Mawu, míaƒe ŋusẽ la ŋu, eye mitso aseye kple ɣli ɖe Yakob ƒe Mawu la ŋu!
For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine-presses. Rejoice ye in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
2 Mido ha ɖa, xatsɛwo neɖi, miƒo kasaŋku kple gakasaŋku siwo ƒe gbe me kɔ.
Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
3 Miku lãdzokpẽwo le Dzinu Yeye dzi kple ne dzinu sɔ tegblẽe le míaƒe ŋkekenyuiɖugbe.
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.
4 Esia nye se na Israel kple ɖoɖo na Yakob ƒe Mawu la.
For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
5 Esi Mawu tso ɖe Egiptetɔwo ŋu la, eɖoe anyi be wòanye se na Yosef, afi si míese gbegbɔgblɔ si gɔme míese o la le:
He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.
6 Egblɔ be, “Meɖe agba la ɖa le woƒe abɔta, eye woɖe woƒe asiwo ɖa le kusi la ŋuti.
He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
7 Mieyɔm le miaƒe xaxa me, eye mexɔ na mi. Metɔ na mi le dziɖegbelilikpo la me. Medo mi kpɔ le Meriba tsi la gbɔ. (Sela)
Thou didst call upon me in trouble, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the secret place of the storm: I proved thee at the water of Strife. (Pause)
8 Mísee, o nye dukɔ, maxlɔ̃ nu mi. O! Israel, nenye ɖe nàɖo tom ɖe!
Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel; and I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me;
9 Dzromawu aɖeke maganɔ dowòme o; màgade ta agu na mawu tutɔ aɖeke o.
there shall be no new god in thee; neither shalt thou worship a strange god.
10 Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, ame si kplɔ wò do goe tso Egipte. Ke wò nu baa, eye mana wòayɔ.
For I am the Lord thy God, that brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 “Ke nye dukɔ meɖo to nye gbe o; Israel gbe, mebɔbɔ eɖokui nam o,
But my people hearkened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
12 eya ta meɖe asi le wo ŋu na woƒe dzi sesẽwo, ne woadze nu siwo woawo ŋutɔ ɖo la yome.
So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
13 “Ɖe wònye nye dukɔ aɖo tom, eye Israel nazɔ nye mɔwo dzi la,
If my people had hearkened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
14 aleke nyemahabɔbɔ woƒe futɔwo ɖe anyii kaba, eye nyemahakɔ nye asiwo dzi ɖe woƒe ketɔwo ŋui o!
I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
15 Ame siwo lé fu Yehowa la ada alakpa le eŋkume, eye woƒe tohehe anɔ anyi tegbee.
The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.
16 Ke míaɖu bliwɔ nyuitɔ, eye matsɔ kpetomenyitsi aɖi ƒoe na mi.”
And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
