< Psalmowo 97 >
1 Yehowa le fia ɖum, anyigba nekpɔ dzidzɔ, eye ƒutadu siwo le didiƒe ke la netso aseye.
The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
2 Lilikpowo kple blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi ƒo xlãe, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye kple afia nyui tsotso nye eƒe fiazikpui ƒe gɔmeɖokpe.
He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
3 Dzo le bibim le eŋgɔ, eye wòle eƒe futɔwo fiam le akpa sia akpa.
Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
4 Eƒe dzikedzo si akaɖi ɖe xexea me, eye anyigba kpɔe heʋuʋu heyeheye.
His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
5 Towo lolo abe yɔkumi ene le Yehowa ŋgɔ, ɛ̃, le anyigba ƒe Aƒetɔ la ŋkume.
The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Dziƒowo le gbeƒã ɖem eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, eye dukɔwo katã kpɔ eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe.
The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.
7 Ŋukpe lé aklamakpakpɛsubɔlawo katã, ame siwo tsɔa legbawo ƒoa adegbee, ke misubɔe, mi mawuwo katã!
All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
8 Zion see, dzi dzɔe, eye Yuda ƒe kɔƒewo hã tso aseye le wò afia nyui tsotsowo ta, o Yehowa.
Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
9 O! Yehowa, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ ɖe anyigba la katã dzi, eye wodo wò ɖe dzi gbɔ mawuwo katã ta sãsãsã.
For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
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.
You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
11 Kekeli klẽna ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo dzi, eye dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ yɔa ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la ƒe dziwo me.
Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
12 Mi ame dzɔdzɔewo, mitso aseye le Yehowa me, eye mikafu eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
