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!
Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
2 Mido ha ɖa, xatsɛwo neɖi, miƒo kasaŋku kple gakasaŋku siwo ƒe gbe me kɔ.
Take a psalm, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Miku lãdzokpẽwo le Dzinu Yeye dzi kple ne dzinu sɔ tegblẽe le míaƒe ŋkekenyuiɖugbe.
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4 Esia nye se na Israel kple ɖoɖo na Yakob ƒe Mawu la.
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law 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:
This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
6 Egblɔ be, “Meɖe agba la ɖa le woƒe abɔta, eye woɖe woƒe asiwo ɖa le kusi la ŋuti.
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
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)
You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I proved you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Mísee, o nye dukɔ, maxlɔ̃ nu mi. O! Israel, nenye ɖe nàɖo tom ɖe!
Hear, O my people, and I will testify to you: O Israel, if you will listen to me;
9 Dzromawu aɖeke maganɔ dowòme o; màgade ta agu na mawu tutɔ aɖeke o.
There shall no strange god be in you; neither shall you worship any strange god.
10 Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, ame si kplɔ wò do goe tso Egipte. Ke wò nu baa, eye mana wòayɔ.
I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your 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 would not listen to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 eya ta meɖe asi le wo ŋu na woƒe dzi sesẽwo, ne woadze nu siwo woawo ŋutɔ ɖo la yome.
So I gave them up to their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 “Ɖe wònye nye dukɔ aɖo tom, eye Israel nazɔ nye mɔwo dzi la,
Oh that my people had listened to me, and 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 soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 Ame siwo lé fu Yehowa la ada alakpa le eŋkume, eye woƒe tohehe anɔ anyi tegbee.
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: but their time should have endured for ever.
16 Ke míaɖu bliwɔ nyuitɔ, eye matsɔ kpetomenyitsi aɖi ƒoe na mi.”
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.
