Psalmowo 85
1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, èɖe amenuveve fia wò anyigba; ègaɖo Yakob ƒe nunyonamewo te.
YHWH, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Ètsɔ wò dukɔ la ƒe vodada kee, eye nètsyɔ nu woƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã dzi. (Sela)
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Èɖe asi le wò dzikudodo helĩhelĩ ŋuti eye nèdzudzɔ dɔmedzoe kaɖikaɖi dodo.
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 O! Mawu, míaƒe Ɖela, gaɖo mí te, míaƒe nu meganɔ dzi kum na wò o.
Turn us, O Elohim of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5 Ɖe nàdo dɔmedzoe ɖe mía ŋu ɖikaa? Ɖe nàdidi wò dɔmedzoe la wòazɔ ato dzidzimewo katã mea?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6 Màgagbɔ agbe mí, be wò dukɔ nàkpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe ŋuwò oa?
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 O! Yehowa, ɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la fia mí, eye nàna wò xɔname mí.
Shew us thy mercy, O YHWH, and grant us thy salvation.
8 Maɖo to ase nya si Yehowa Mawu agblɔ; edo ŋutifafa ƒe ŋugbe na eƒe dukɔ, eƒe ame kɔkɔewo, gake ɖeko mègana woatrɔ ayi bometsitsi gbɔ o.
I will hear what El YHWH will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Vavã eƒe ɖeɖe tsɔ ɖe ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la gbɔ, ale be eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nanɔ míaƒe anyigba dzi.
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ do go wo nɔewo, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ŋutifafa gbugbɔ nu na wo nɔewo.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Nuteƒewɔwɔ mie tso anyigba me, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye do mo ɖa kpɔ anyigba tso dziƒo.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yehowa ana nu si nyo la mí vavã, eye míaƒe anyigba atse eƒe ku.
Yea, YHWH shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Dzɔdzɔenyenye le eŋgɔ, eye wòle mɔ tam na eƒe afɔtoƒewo.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
