A SONG. A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, let there be no silence to You, Do not be silent, nor be quiet, O God.
2 Kpɔ ale si wò futɔwo le nyanyram ɖa, kpɔ ale si wò ketɔwo kɔ ta dzii ɖa.
For behold, Your enemies roar, And those hating You have lifted up the head,
3 Wole nu baɖa ɖom ɖe wò dukɔ ŋu le ayeme, eye woɖo nugbe ɖe ame siwo nèlɔ̃na la ŋu.
They take crafty counsel against Your people, And consult against Your hidden ones.
4 Wogblɔ be, “Miva, míatsrɔ̃ wo, be womaganye dukɔ o, eye womagaɖo ŋku Israel ƒe ŋkɔ dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
They have said, “Come, and we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered anymore.”
5 Wotsɔ tameɖoɖo ɖeka de adaŋu, eye wobla ɖe ŋuwò,
For they consulted in heart together, They make a covenant against You,
6 ame siwo le Edom ƒe agbadɔwo me, Ismaelitɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Hagritɔwo,
Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
7 Gebalitɔwo, Amonviwo, Amalekitɔwo, Filistitɔwo kple ame siwo tso Tiro.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,
8 Asiria gɔ̃ hã kpe ɖe wo ŋu, be wòado alɔ Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)
Asshur is also joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. (Selah)
9 Wɔ wo abe ale si nèwɔ Midian, Sisera kple Yabin le Kison tɔsisi la to ene,
Do to them as Midian, As Sisera, as Jabin, at the Brook of Kishon.
10 ame siwo tsrɔ̃ le Endor, eye wole abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene le anyigba.
They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!
11 Wɔ woƒe bubumewo abe Oreb kple Zeb ene, eye woƒe dumegãwo abe Zeba kple Zalmuna ene,
Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna—all their princes,
12 ame siwo gblɔ be, “Mina míaxɔ Mawu ƒe lãnyiƒewo.”
Who have said, “Let us occupy the pastures of God for ourselves.”
13 O! Nye Mawu, wɔ wo abe betsyo kple blitsa si ya lɔ ɖe nu ene.
O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.
14 Abe ale si dzo biaa ave, alo dzo ƒe aɖe tɔa dzo towo ene la,
As a fire burns a forest, And as a flame sets hills on fire,
15 nenemae nàti wo yomee kple wò ya sesẽ, eye nàdo ŋɔdzi na wo kple wò ahom.
So You pursue them with Your whirlwind, And trouble them with Your windstorm.
16 Tsɔ ŋukpe tsyɔ mo na wo, ale be amewo nadi wò ŋkɔ, O Yehowa.
Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Your Name, O YHWH.
17 Na ŋukpe nalé wo, woƒe mo natsi dãa, eye wonetsrɔ̃ le ŋukpe me.
They are ashamed and troubled forever, Indeed, they are confounded and lost.
18 Na woanya be wò, ame si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa la, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
And they know that You—Your Name [is] YHWH—By Yourself [are] the Most High over all the earth!
