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 Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
2 Mido ha ɖa, xatsɛwo neɖi, miƒo kasaŋku kple gakasaŋku siwo ƒe gbe me kɔ.
Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre 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, at the full moon, on our feast day.
4 Esia nye se na Israel kple ɖoɖo na Yakob ƒe Mawu la.
For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance 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 appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.
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 freed from the basket.
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 tested you at the waters of Meribah.” (Selah)
8 Mísee, o nye dukɔ, maxlɔ̃ nu mi. O! Israel, nenye ɖe nàɖo tom ɖe!
“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
9 Dzromawu aɖeke maganɔ dowòme o; màgade ta agu na mawu tutɔ aɖeke o.
There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign 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, who brought you up 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 didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired 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 let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13 “Ɖe wònye nye dukɔ aɖo tom, eye Israel nazɔ nye mɔwo dzi la,
Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14 aleke nyemahabɔbɔ woƒe futɔwo ɖe anyii kaba, eye nyemahakɔ nye asiwo dzi ɖe woƒe ketɔwo ŋui o!
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn 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 would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
16 Ke míaɖu bliwɔ nyuitɔ, eye matsɔ kpetomenyitsi aɖi ƒoe na mi.”
But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
