Psalmowo 85
1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, èɖe amenuveve fia wò anyigba; ègaɖo Yakob ƒe nunyonamewo te.
“To the chief musician, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” Thou hast been favorable, O Lord, 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 over 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 relinquished the fierceness of thy anger.
4 O! Mawu, míaƒe Ɖela, gaɖo mí te, míaƒe nu meganɔ dzi kum na wò o.
Return to us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy ill-will 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 wroth with us for ever? wilt thou extend thy anger from generation to generation?
6 Màgagbɔ agbe mí, be wò dukɔ nàkpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe ŋuwò oa?
Wilt thou not [now] 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.
Show us thy kindness, O Lord, 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 God the Lord will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his pious ones: only 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, nigh is his salvation unto those 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.
Kindness and truth are met together: righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Nuteƒewɔwɔ mie tso anyigba me, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye do mo ɖa kpɔ anyigba tso dziƒo.
Truth will grow up out of the earth, and righteousness will look down from heaven.
12 Yehowa ana nu si nyo la mí vavã, eye míaƒe anyigba atse eƒe ku.
Yea, the Lord will also give the good, and our land will yield its products.
13 Dzɔdzɔenyenye le eŋgɔ, eye wòle mɔ tam na eƒe afɔtoƒewo.
Righteousness will walk firmly before him, and will make [level] the way by its steps.
