< Psalmowo 97 >

1 Yehowa le fia ɖum, anyigba nekpɔ dzidzɔ, eye ƒutadu siwo le didiƒe ke la netso aseye.
Jehovah reigns! Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Lilikpowo kple blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi ƒo xlãe, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye kple afia nyui tsotso nye eƒe fiazikpui ƒe gɔmeɖokpe.
Clouds and darkness are round about him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Dzo le bibim le eŋgɔ, eye wòle eƒe futɔwo fiam le akpa sia akpa.
A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries round about.
4 Eƒe dzikedzo si akaɖi ɖe xexea me, eye anyigba kpɔe heʋuʋu heyeheye.
His lightnings lightened the world. The earth saw, and trembled.
5 Towo lolo abe yɔkumi ene le Yehowa ŋgɔ, ɛ̃, le anyigba ƒe Aƒetɔ la ŋkume.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Dziƒowo le gbeƒã ɖem eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, eye dukɔwo katã kpɔ eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Ŋukpe lé aklamakpakpɛsubɔlawo katã, ame siwo tsɔa legbawo ƒoa adegbee, ke misubɔe, mi mawuwo katã!
Let all those be put to shame who serve graven images, who boast themselves of idols. Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8 Zion see, dzi dzɔe, eye Yuda ƒe kɔƒewo hã tso aseye le wò afia nyui tsotsowo ta, o Yehowa.
Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9 O! Yehowa, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ ɖe anyigba la katã dzi, eye wodo wò ɖe dzi gbɔ mawuwo katã ta sãsãsã.
For thou, Jehovah, are most high above all the earth. Thou are exalted far above all gods.
10 Mi ame siwo lɔ̃a Yehowa la, mitsri vɔ̃, elabena edzɔa etɔ siwo wɔa nuteƒe la ƒe agbe ŋuti, eye wòɖea woƒe agbe tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me.
O ye who love Jehovah, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his sanctified. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Kekeli klẽna ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo dzi, eye dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ yɔa ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la ƒe dziwo me.
Light is sown for the righteous man, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Mi ame dzɔdzɔewo, mitso aseye le Yehowa me, eye mikafu eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous, and give thanks to the memory of his holiness.
