Psalmowo 9
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “ŋutsuvi la ƒe ku” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Makafu wò, O! Yehowa, kple nye dzi blibo, maɖe wò nukunuwɔwɔwo katã afia.
[For the choir director; according to Muth-labben. A Psalm by David.] I will give thanks to YHWH with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2 Dzi adzɔm, eye matso aseye le mewò; O Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, madzi kafukafuhawo na wò ŋkɔ.
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3 Nye futɔwo trɔ megbe; wokli nu, eye wo katã wotsrɔ̃ le ŋkuwò me.
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
4 Elabena wòe xɔ nye nya, eye nèɖe nye dzɔdzɔenyenye ɖe go. Ènɔ wò fiazikpui dzi, eye nèdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe.
For you have upheld my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5 Èka mo na dukɔwo, eye nètsrɔ̃ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo hetutu woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 Tsɔtsrɔ̃ mavɔ va futɔ la dzi, elabena èho woƒe duwo, eye womagaɖo ŋku wo dzi gɔ̃ hã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin; and the very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7 Yehowa aɖu fia tegbetegbe; eɖo eƒe fiazikpui anyi hena ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃.
But YHWH reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu xexea me le dzɔdzɔenyenye me; akplɔ dukɔwo katã le nuteƒewɔwɔ me.
And he will judge the world in righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity.
9 Yehowa nye sitsoƒe na ame siwo wote ɖe anyi kple mɔ sesẽ le xaxaɣiwo.
YHWH will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 Ame siwo nya wò ŋkɔ la aɖo dzi ɖe ŋuwò, elabena wò Yehowa, megble ame siwo dia wò la ɖi kpɔ o.
And those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, YHWH, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11 Midzi kafukafuhawo na Yehowa, ame si nɔ fiazikpui dzi gli le Zion, miɖe gbeƒã nu siwo wòwɔ la le dukɔwo dome.
Sing praises to YHWH, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
12 Elabena eya, ame si biaa hlɔ̃ hlɔ̃dolawo la, ɖoa ŋku edzi, medoa toku hiãtɔwo ƒe ɣlidodo o.
For he who takes revenge against murderers remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 O Yehowa, kpɔ ale si nye futɔwo le yonyeme tim ɖa! Kpɔ nye nublanui, eye nàkɔm tso ku ƒe agbowo me,
Have mercy on me, YHWH. See my affliction by those who hate me. You lift me up from the gates of death,
14 be maɖe wò kafukafu afia le Zion Vinyɔnu ƒe agbowo me, eye le afi ma matso aseye le ɖeɖe si nènam la ta.
so that I may tell all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 Dukɔwo ge dze do si woawo ŋutɔ woɖe la me; woƒe afɔwo ɖo ɖɔ si woawo ŋutɔ woɖo ɖi le bebeme la me.
The nations have fallen into the pit they had made. In the net which they hid, their feet are caught.
16 Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fia to eƒe ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe dɔdrɔ̃ me; ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔwo atsɔ wo ade mɔ me. Ŋugbledede. (Sela)
YHWH has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Ke womaŋlɔ hiãtɔ be ɖikaa alo ame si le fu kpem la, mɔkpɔkpɔ nabu ɖee o.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Tso, O Yehowa! Mègana amegbetɔ naɖu dzi o, na woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dukɔwo le ŋkuwò me.
Arise, YHWH. Do not let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 O! Yehowa, ƒo wo ƒu anyi kple ŋɔdzi; na dukɔwo nanya be amegbetɔwo yewonye. (Sela)
Terrify them, YHWH. Let the nations know that they are only human. (Selah)
