Psalmowo 97
1 Yehowa le fia ɖum, anyigba nekpɔ dzidzɔ, eye ƒutadu siwo le didiƒe ke la netso aseye.
Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
2 Lilikpowo kple blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi ƒo xlãe, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye kple afia nyui tsotso nye eƒe fiazikpui ƒe gɔmeɖokpe.
There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
3 Dzo le bibim le eŋgɔ, eye wòle eƒe futɔwo fiam le akpa sia akpa.
He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
4 Eƒe dzikedzo si akaɖi ɖe xexea me, eye anyigba kpɔe heʋuʋu heyeheye.
All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
5 Towo lolo abe yɔkumi ene le Yehowa ŋgɔ, ɛ̃, le anyigba ƒe Aƒetɔ la ŋkume.
The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
6 Dziƒowo le gbeƒã ɖem eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, eye dukɔwo katã kpɔ eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe.
The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
7 Ŋukpe lé aklamakpakpɛsubɔlawo katã, ame siwo tsɔa legbawo ƒoa adegbee, ke misubɔe, mi mawuwo katã!
Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
8 Zion see, dzi dzɔe, eye Yuda ƒe kɔƒewo hã tso aseye le wò afia nyui tsotsowo ta, o Yehowa.
[The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
9 O! Yehowa, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ ɖe anyigba la katã dzi, eye wodo wò ɖe dzi gbɔ mawuwo katã ta sãsãsã.
Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
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.
Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
11 Kekeli klẽna ɖe ame dzɔdzɔewo dzi, eye dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ yɔa ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la ƒe dziwo me.
His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
12 Mi ame dzɔdzɔewo, mitso aseye le Yehowa me, eye mikafu eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
