< Psalmowo 97 >
1 Yehowa le fia ɖum, anyigba nekpɔ dzidzɔ, eye ƒutadu siwo le didiƒe ke la netso aseye.
Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.
2 Lilikpowo kple blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi ƒo xlãe, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye kple afia nyui tsotso nye eƒe fiazikpui ƒe gɔmeɖokpe.
Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.
3 Dzo le bibim le eŋgɔ, eye wòle eƒe futɔwo fiam le akpa sia akpa.
Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.
4 Eƒe dzikedzo si akaɖi ɖe xexea me, eye anyigba kpɔe heʋuʋu heyeheye.
His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;
5 Towo lolo abe yɔkumi ene le Yehowa ŋgɔ, ɛ̃, le anyigba ƒe Aƒetɔ la ŋkume.
The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Dziƒowo le gbeƒã ɖem eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, eye dukɔwo katã kpɔ eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe.
The heavens, have declared, 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 who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto 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, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:
9 O! Yehowa, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ ɖe anyigba la katã dzi, eye wodo wò ɖe dzi gbɔ mawuwo katã ta sãsãsã.
For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself 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.
Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.
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 one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:
12 Mi ame dzɔdzɔewo, mitso aseye le Yehowa me, eye mikafu eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.
