Psalmowo 89
1 Ezrahitɔ Etan ƒe nufiameha. Madzi ha le Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃ gã la ŋu ɖaa, matsɔ nye nu aɖe gbeƒã wò nuteƒewɔwɔ tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
AN INSTRUCTION OF ETHAN THE EZRAHITE. Of the kind acts of YHWH, I sing for all time, From generation to generation I make known Your faithfulness with my mouth,
2 Maɖe gbeƒã be wò lɔlɔ̃ li ke tegbee, eye nèɖo wò nuteƒewɔwɔ anyi ɖe dziƒo ŋutɔŋutɔ.
For I said, “Kindness is built for all time, The heavens! You establish Your faithfulness in them.”
3 Ègblɔ be, “Mebla nu kple nye ame tiatia, meka atam na David, nye dɔla be,
I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David:
4 ‘Maɖo wò ƒome anyi tegbee, eye mana wò fiazikpui nali ke na dzidzimewo katã.’” (Sela)
“Even for all time I establish your seed, And have built your throne to generation and generation.” (Selah)
5 O! Yehowa, dziƒowo le wò nukunuwo kafum, kple wò nuteƒewɔwɔ hã le ame kɔkɔewo ƒe hame.
And the heavens confess Your wonders, O YHWH, Your faithfulness [is] also in an assembly of holy ones.
6 Elabena ame kae le dziŋgɔli me si woatsɔ asɔ kple Yehowa? Le nu gbagbe siwo le dziƒo dome la, kae le abe Yehowa ene?
For who in the sky, compares himself to YHWH? [Who] is like to YHWH among sons of the mighty?
7 Le ame kɔkɔewo ƒe adaŋudeha me la ŋɔdzi le Mawu ŋu ŋutɔ, ŋɔdzi le eŋu wu ame siwo katã ƒo xlãe.
God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.
8 O! Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu, ame kae ɖi wò? O! Yehowa, wò la, ŋusẽtɔe nènye, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ ƒo xlã wò.
O YHWH, God of Hosts, Who [is] like You—a strong YAH? And Your faithfulness [is] around You.
9 Wòe ɖu atsiaƒu ƒe agbodzedze dzi, ne ƒutsotsoewo le dzi dem la, ènana wodzea akɔ anyi.
You [are] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows You restrain them.
10 Ègbã Rahab gudugudu abe ame siwo wowu la dometɔ ɖeka ene, eye nètsɔ wò abɔ sesẽ kaka wò futɔwo.
You have bruised Rahab, as one wounded. You have scattered Your enemies with the arm of Your strength.
11 Dziƒowo nye tɔwò, anyigba hã tɔwòe; wòe wɔ xexea me kple emenuwo katã.
The heavens [are] Yours, The earth [is] also Yours, The habitable world and its fullness, You have founded them.
12 Wòe wɔ anyiehe kple dziehe; ne Tabɔr kple Hermon se wò ŋkɔ ko la, wodzia ha, tsoa aseye.
North and south You have appointed them, Tabor and Hermon sing in Your Name.
13 Wotsɔ ŋusẽ de wò abɔ me, eye wò asi sesẽ, wò nuɖusi de dzi.
You have an arm with might, Strong is Your hand—high Your right hand.
14 Woli wò fiazikpui anyi ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ dzi, eye lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ le zɔzɔm le ŋgɔwò.
Righteousness and judgment [Are] the fixed place of Your throne, Kindness and truth go before Your face.
15 Woayra ame siwo srɔ̃ ale si woakafu wòe, eye wozɔna le wò mo ƒe kekeli me, O Yehowa.
O the blessedness of the people knowing the shout, O YHWH, they habitually walk in the light of Your face.
16 Wotsoa aseye le wò ŋkɔ me ŋkeke blibo la, eye wokpɔa dodoɖedzi le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye me.
They rejoice in Your Name all the day, And they are exalted in Your righteousness,
17 Elabena wòe nye woƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ, eye to wò amenuveve me, nèkɔ míaƒe dzo ɖe dzi.
For You [are] the beauty of their strength, And in Your good will is our horn exalted,
18 Vavã, míaƒe akpoxɔnu nye Yehowa tɔ, miaƒe fia nye Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la.
For our shield [is] of YHWH, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Ɣe aɖe ɣi la, èƒo nu na wò ame kɔkɔewo le ŋutega me be, “Metrɔ ŋusẽ kɔ ɖe kalẽtɔ aɖe dzi; medo ɖekakpui aɖe ɖe dzi le nye amewo dome.
Then You have spoken in vision, To Your saint, indeed, You say, I have placed help on a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,
20 Meke ɖe David, nye dɔla ŋu, eye mesi ami nɛ kple nye ami kɔkɔe.
I have found My servant David, With My holy oil I have anointed him.
21 Nye asi alée ɖe asi, le nyateƒe me, nye alɔ ado ŋusẽe.
With whom My hand is established, My arm also strengthens him.
22 Futɔ aɖeke mazi edzi wòadzɔ ga nɛ o, eye ame vɔ̃ɖi aɖeke matee ɖe to o.
An enemy does not exact on him, And a son of perverseness does not afflict him.
23 Mafanya eƒe futɔwo le eŋgɔ, eye maƒo ame siwo tso ɖe eŋu la aƒu anyi.
And I have beaten down his adversaries before him, And I plague those hating him,
24 Nye lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la anɔ anyi kplii, eye woakɔ eƒe dzo ɖe dzi to nye ŋkɔ dzi.
And My faithfulness and kindness [are] with him, And in My Name is his horn exalted.
25 Makɔ eƒe asi dzi ɖe atsiaƒu dzi, eye eƒe nuɖusi ɖe tɔsisiwo dzi.
And I have set his hand on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.
26 Ayɔm be, ‘Wòe nye Fofonye, nye Mawu, nye Agakpe kple Ɖela.’
He proclaims to Me: “You [are] my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.”
27 Matsɔe awɔ nye ŋgɔgbevi kple fia si wodo ɖe dzi wu le anyigbadzifiawo katã dome.
I also appoint him firstborn, Highest of the kings of the earth.
28 Malé nye lɔlɔ̃ nɛ me ɖe asi ɖaa, eye nye nubabla kplii mada le edzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
For all time I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant [is] steadfast with him.
29 Maɖo eƒe ƒome anyi tegbee, eye zi ale si dziƒo li la, nenema ke eƒe fiazikpui hã anɔ anyii.
And I have set his seed forever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
30 “Ne viawo gblẽ nye sewo ɖi, eye womewɔ nye ɖoɖowo dzi o,
If his sons forsake My law, And do not walk in My judgments;
31 ne woda le nye sedede dzi, eye wogbe nye gbeɖeɖewo dzi wɔwɔ la,
If they defile My statutes, And do not keep My commands,
32 ekema matsɔ ati ahe to na woe ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, eye matsɔ ƒoƒo ahe to na wo ɖe woƒe vodadawo ta,
I have looked after their transgression with a rod, And their iniquity with strokes,
33 gake nyemaxɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ le esi, alo ada le nye nuteƒewɔwɔ dzi o.
And I do not break My kindness from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34 Nyemagbe nye nubabla la dzi wɔwɔ o, eye nyematrɔ nu si nye nu gblɔ la o.
I do not profane My covenant, And I do not change that which is going forth from My lips.
35 Meta nye kɔkɔenyenye zi ɖeka hena ɣeyiɣiwo katã be, nyemada alakpa na David o.
Once I have sworn by My holiness, I do not lie to David,
36 Ke boŋ eƒe ƒome anɔ anyi tegbee, eye eƒe fiazikpui ali ke le nye ŋkume abe ɣe ene.
His seed is for all time, And his throne [is] as the sun before Me,
37 Woaɖoe anyi ɖaa abe ɣleti, ɖasefo nuteƒewɔla si le dziŋgɔli ŋu ene.” (Sela)
It is established as the moon for all time, And the witness in the sky is steadfast. (Selah)
38 Gake ègbe, èdo vlo, eye nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe wò amesiamina ŋu vevie.
And You, You have cast off, and reject, You have shown Yourself angry with Your anointed,
39 Ète fli ɖe nu si nèbla kple wò dɔla me, eye nèdo gu eƒe fiakuku, tsɔe ƒu gbe ɖe ke me.
Have rejected the covenant of Your servant, You have defiled his crown to the earth,
40 Ègbã eƒe gliwo, eye nèwɔ eƒe mɔ sesẽwo wozu aƒedo.
You have broken down all his hedges, You have made his fortifications a ruin.
41 Ame siwo katã to afi ma la hae, eye wòzu alɔmeɖenu na eƒe aƒelikawo.
Everyone passing by the way has spoiled him, He has been a reproach to his neighbors,
42 Èdo eƒe futɔwo ƒe nuɖusi ɖe dzi, eye nèna eƒe ketɔwo katã tso aseye.
You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries, You have caused all his enemies to rejoice.
43 Èna eƒe yi nu tsi, eye mèkpe ɖe eŋu le aʋawɔwɔ me o.
Also—You turn back the sharpness of his sword, And have not established him in battle,
44 Èna eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe wu enu, eye nètsɔ eƒe fiazikpui ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba.
Have caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And have cast down his throne to the earth.
45 Èɖe eƒe ɖekakpuimeŋkekewo dzi kpɔtɔ, eye nètsɔ ŋukpe tsyɔ nɛ abe avɔ ene. (Sela)
You have shortened the days of his youth, Have covered him over [with] shame. (Selah)
46 O! Yehowa va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie? Ɖe nàɣla ɖokuiwò tegbea? Ɣe ka ɣi wò dziku abi abe dzo ene ase ɖo?
Until when, O YHWH, are You hidden? Does Your fury burn as fire forever?
47 Ɖo ŋku ale si nye agbe le du dzii la dzi. Tofloko kae nye si, nèwɔ amegbetɔviwo na!
Remember how [short] my lifetime [is]. Why have You created in vain All the sons of men?
Who [is] the man that lives, and does not see death? He delivers his soul from the hand of Sheol. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 O! Aƒetɔ, afi ka wò lɔlɔ̃ gã tsãtɔ le, wò lɔlɔ̃ si nye atam nèka na David le wò nuteƒewɔwɔ me la le?
Where [are] Your former kindnesses, O Lord, [Which] You have sworn to David in Your faithfulness?
50 Aƒetɔ, ɖo ŋku ale si woɖu fewu le wò dɔla ŋuti kple ale si nye dzi tsɔ dukɔwo ƒe vlodoame la dzi.
Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,
51 O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku vlodoame si wò futɔwo tsɔ le alɔme ɖem le wò amesiamina ƒe afɔɖeɖe ɖe sia ɖe ŋuti la dzi.
With which Your enemies reproached, O YHWH, With which they have reproached The steps of Your anointed.
52 Woakafu Yehowa tegbetegbee!
Blessed [is] YHWH for all time. Amen and amen!
