Psalmowo 85
1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, èɖe amenuveve fia wò anyigba; ègaɖo Yakob ƒe nunyonamewo te.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O LORD! thou hast been favorable to thy land; Thou hast brought back the captives of Jacob;
2 Ètsɔ wò dukɔ la ƒe vodada kee, eye nètsyɔ nu woƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã dzi. (Sela)
Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people, And cover all their sins! (Pause)
3 Èɖe asi le wò dzikudodo helĩhelĩ ŋuti eye nèdzudzɔ dɔmedzoe kaɖikaɖi dodo.
Thou didst take away all thy displeasure, And abate the fierceness of thy wrath.
4 O! Mawu, míaƒe Ɖela, gaɖo mí te, míaƒe nu meganɔ dzi kum na wò o.
Restore us, O God of our salvation! And let thine anger towards us 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 continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
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.
Show us thy compassion, 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: Truly he will speak peace to his people, and to his servants; 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.
Yea, his salvation is near to those who 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 shall meet together, Righteousness and peace shall kiss each other;
11 Nuteƒewɔwɔ mie tso anyigba me, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye do mo ɖa kpɔ anyigba tso dziƒo.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; Righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yehowa ana nu si nyo la mí vavã, eye míaƒe anyigba atse eƒe ku.
Yea, Jehovah will give prosperity, And our land shall yield her increase.
13 Dzɔdzɔenyenye le eŋgɔ, eye wòle mɔ tam na eƒe afɔtoƒewo.
Righteousness shall go before him, And set us in the way of his steps.
