Psalmowo 94
1 O! Yehowa, Mawu si biaa hlɔ̃, O! Mawu si biaa hlɔ̃, klẽ.
O YHWH El, to whom vengeance belongeth; O El, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Tso, o xexea me ƒe Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la, ɖo nu si dadalawo wɔ la teƒe na wo.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 O! Yehowa, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi ame vɔ̃ɖi la atso aseye?
YHWH, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Wole nya tovowo gblɔm, eye dada yɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo katã me fũu.
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 O! Yehowa, wogbã wò dukɔ la nyanyanya, wote wò domenyinu la ɖe to.
They break in pieces thy people, O YHWH, and afflict thine heritage.
6 Wowu ahosiwo kple amedzrowo, eye wowu tsyɔ̃eviwo hã.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Wogblɔ be, “Yehowa mele ekpɔm o, Yakob ƒe Mawu la metsɔ ɖeke le eme o.”
Yet they say, YAH shall not see, neither shall the Elohim of Jacob regard it.
8 Mikpɔ nyuie, mi gegeme siwo le dukɔ la me, mi bometsilawo, ɣe ka ɣi miadze nunya?
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Ɖe eya ame si wɔ to la mase nu oa? Ɖe eya ame si wɔ ŋku la makpɔ nu oa?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Ɖe eya ame si hea to na dukɔwo la mahe to oa? Ɖe eya ame si fiaa nu ame la, ahiã na nunya?
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 Yehowa nya amegbetɔ ƒe susu, eye wònya be tofloko ko wònye.
YHWH knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 O, Yehowa, woayra ame si nèhe to na, ame si nèfia nui tso wò se la me,
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O YAH, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 eye nèna gbɔdzɔe tso dzɔgbevɔ̃eŋkekewo me, va se ɖe esime wòɖe ʋe na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo.
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Elabena Yehowa magbe eƒe dukɔ la o, eye magblẽ eƒe domenyinu ɖi o.
For YHWH will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Woagaɖo ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ anyi ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye dzi, eye ame siwo katã ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la adze eyome.
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Ame ka atso ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋu nam? Ame ka atsi tsitre ɖe nu tovo wɔlawo ŋu ɖe nunye?
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Ɖe menye Yehowae kpe ɖe ŋunye o la, anye ne eteƒe madidi o la, manɔ ɖoɖoezizi me le tsiẽƒe.
Unless YHWH had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Esi medo ɣli be, “Nye afɔ le ɖiɖim” la, wò lɔlɔ̃, O! Yehowa, de megbe nam.
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O YHWH, held me up.
19 Esi dzitsitsi yɔ menye la, wò akɔfaname he dzidzɔ vɛ na nye luʋɔ.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Ɖe fiazikpui madzɔmadzɔ si hea hiãkame vɛ to eƒe sededewo me la ate ŋu ade ha kpli wòa?
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 Wowɔa ɖeka ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu, eye wotsoa kufia na ame maɖifɔ.
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 Gake Yehowae nye nye mɔ sesẽ, nye Mawu kple agakpe si nye nye sitsoƒe.
But YHWH is my defence; and my Elohim is the rock of my refuge.
23 Aɖo woƒe nu vɔ̃wo teƒe na wo, eye wòatsrɔ̃ wo le woƒe vɔ̃ɖinyenye ta, ɛ̃, Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la atsrɔ̃ wo.
And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, YHWH our Elohim shall cut them off
