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!
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. 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 hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Miku lãdzokpẽwo le Dzinu Yeye dzi kple ne dzinu sɔ tegblẽe le míaƒe ŋkekenyuiɖugbe.
Blow 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)
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee 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 thee; O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me;
9 Dzromawu aɖeke maganɔ dowòme o; màgade ta agu na mawu tutɔ aɖeke o.
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou 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 thy God who 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 would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would not obey 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,
O that my people had hearkened 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: and their time should have endured for ever.
16 Ke míaɖu bliwɔ nyuitɔ, eye matsɔ kpetomenyitsi aɖi ƒoe na mi.”
He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock I should have satisfied thee.
