Psalmowo 135

1 Mikafu Yehowa. Mikafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, mikafui, mi Yehowa ƒe dɔlawo.

Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

2 Mi ame siwo subɔna le Yehowa ƒe aƒe me, le míaƒe Mawu la ƒe xɔxɔnuwo.

You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,

3 Mikafu Yehowa, elabena Yehowa nyo; midzi ha na eƒe ŋkɔ, elabena esia vivina.

Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.

4 Elabena Yehowa tia Yakob be wòanye ye tɔ, eye wòtia Israel be wòanye yeƒe domenyinu xɔasi la.

For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.

5 Menya be Yehowa lolo, eye míaƒe Aƒetɔ la lolo wu mawuwo katã.

I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.

6 Yehowa wɔa nu sia nu si dze eŋu le dziƒo kple anyigba, le atsiaƒuwo me kple woƒe gogloƒewo katã.

The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.

7 Enaa lilikpo hona tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke, edɔa dzikedzo be wòava kple tsidzadza, eye wòɖea yaƒoƒo ɖe go tso eƒe nudzraɖoƒewo.

He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.

8 Eƒo Egipte ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo ƒu anyi; amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo.

He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.

9 O! Egipte, edɔ eƒe dzesiwo kple nukunuwo ɖo ɖe mía dome, ɖe Farao kple eƒe dɔlawo katã ŋu.

He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

10 Eƒo dukɔ geɖewo ƒu anyi, eye wòwu fia sesẽwo.

He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;

11 Ewu Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, Ɔg, Basantɔwo ƒe fia kple Kanaan fiawo katã,

Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

12 eye wòtsɔ woƒe anyigba wɔ domenyinu, na eƒe dukɔ Israel.

And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.

13 O! Yehowa, wò ŋkɔ li tegbetegbe, o Yehowa, èxɔ ŋkɔ le dzidzimewo katã me.

O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.

14 Elabena Yehowa atso afia na eƒe dukɔ, eye wòakpɔ nublanui na eƒe dɔlawo.

For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.

15 Dukɔwo ƒe legbawo nye klosalo kple sika, amegbetɔ ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔwo wonye.

The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 Nu li na wo, gake womeƒoa nu o, ŋku li na wo gake womekpɔa nu o,

They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;

17 to li na wo, gake womesea nu loo, alo gbɔna to woƒe nu me o.

They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.

18 Ame siwo wɔ wo la anɔ abe woawo ke ene, eye nenema kee nye ame siwo katã ɖoa dzi ɖe wo ŋu.

Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.

19 O! Israel ƒe aƒe, mikafu Yehowa, O! Aron ƒe aƒe, mikafu Yehowa,

Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:

20 O! Levi ƒe aƒe, mikafu Yehowa, eye mi ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la, mikafu Yehowa.

Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.

21 Woakafu Yehowa tso Zion, eya ame si nɔ Yerusalem. Mikafu Yehowa!

Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.
