< Psalmowo 83 >

1 Asaf ƒe ha. O! Mawu, mègazi kpi o, O! Mawu, mègazi ɖoɖoe o, mèganɔ anyi kpoo o.
[A song. A Psalm by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.
2 Kpɔ ale si wò futɔwo le nyanyram ɖa, kpɔ ale si wò ketɔwo kɔ ta dzii ɖa.
For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.
3 Wole nu baɖa ɖom ɖe wò dukɔ ŋu le ayeme, eye woɖo nugbe ɖe ame siwo nèlɔ̃na la ŋu.
They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your treasured ones.
4 Wogblɔ be, “Miva, míatsrɔ̃ wo, be womaganye dukɔ o, eye womagaɖo ŋku Israel ƒe ŋkɔ dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
They say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
5 Wotsɔ tameɖoɖo ɖeka de adaŋu, eye wobla ɖe ŋuwò,
For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;
6 ame siwo le Edom ƒe agbadɔwo me, Ismaelitɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Hagritɔwo,
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites,
7 Gebalitɔwo, Amonviwo, Amalekitɔwo, Filistitɔwo kple ame siwo tso Tiro.
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Asiria gɔ̃ hã kpe ɖe wo ŋu, be wòado alɔ Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)
Assyria too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
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, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,
10 ame siwo tsrɔ̃ le Endor, eye wole abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene le anyigba.
who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for 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, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 ame siwo gblɔ be, “Mina míaxɔ Mawu ƒe lãnyiƒewo.”
who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures of God."
13 O! Nye Mawu, wɔ wo abe betsyo kple blitsa si ya lɔ ɖe nu ene.
My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.
14 Abe ale si dzo biaa ave, alo dzo ƒe aɖe tɔa dzo towo ene la,
Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,
15 nenemae nàti wo yomee kple wò ya sesẽ, eye nàdo ŋɔdzi na wo kple wò ahom.
so pursue them with your gale winds, 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, so that they might seek your name, LORD.
17 Na ŋukpe nalé wo, woƒe mo natsi dãa, eye wonetsrɔ̃ le ŋukpe me.
Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,
18 Na woanya be wò, ame si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa la, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
that they will know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
