Psalmowo 83
1 Asaf ƒe ha. O! Mawu, mègazi kpi o, O! Mawu, mègazi ɖoɖoe o, mèganɔ anyi kpoo o.
A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
2 Kpɔ ale si wò futɔwo le nyanyram ɖa, kpɔ ale si wò ketɔwo kɔ ta dzii ɖa.
See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
3 Wole nu baɖa ɖom ɖe wò dukɔ ŋu le ayeme, eye woɖo nugbe ɖe ame siwo nèlɔ̃na la ŋu.
With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
4 Wogblɔ be, “Miva, míatsrɔ̃ wo, be womaganye dukɔ o, eye womagaɖo ŋku Israel ƒe ŋkɔ dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5 Wotsɔ tameɖoɖo ɖeka de adaŋu, eye wobla ɖe ŋuwò,
For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
6 ame siwo le Edom ƒe agbadɔwo me, Ismaelitɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Hagritɔwo,
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Gebalitɔwo, Amonviwo, Amalekitɔwo, Filistitɔwo kple ame siwo tso Tiro.
of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
8 Asiria gɔ̃ hã kpe ɖe wo ŋu, be wòado alɔ Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)
Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot.
9 Wɔ wo abe ale si nèwɔ Midian, Sisera kple Yabin le Kison tɔsisi la to ene,
Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
10 ame siwo tsrɔ̃ le Endor, eye wole abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene le anyigba.
who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
11 Wɔ woƒe bubumewo abe Oreb kple Zeb ene, eye woƒe dumegãwo abe Zeba kple Zalmuna ene,
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 ame siwo gblɔ be, “Mina míaxɔ Mawu ƒe lãnyiƒewo.”
who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
13 O! Nye Mawu, wɔ wo abe betsyo kple blitsa si ya lɔ ɖe nu ene.
Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
14 Abe ale si dzo biaa ave, alo dzo ƒe aɖe tɔa dzo towo ene la,
As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 nenemae nàti wo yomee kple wò ya sesẽ, eye nàdo ŋɔdzi na wo kple wò ahom.
so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
16 Tsɔ ŋukpe tsyɔ mo na wo, ale be amewo nadi wò ŋkɔ, O Yehowa.
Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
17 Na ŋukpe nalé wo, woƒe mo natsi dãa, eye wonetsrɔ̃ le ŋukpe me.
May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
18 Na woanya be wò, ame si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa la, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
