Psalms 50
1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu ŋusẽtɔ, Yehowa ƒo nu heyɔ takpekpe na anyigba la tso agudzedze va se ɖe esime ɣe ɖo to.
2 From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
Mawu klẽ tso Zion le eƒe anidzedze blibo la me.
3 Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
Míaƒe Mawu la gbɔna, ahom le tutum le eŋgɔ, dzo le nu bim le eŋgɔ, eye mazi ɖoɖoe o.
4 His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
Eɖi ʋɔnu, eye wòyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba ne wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu eƒe dukɔ,
5 Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
“Miƒo nye ame kɔkɔewo nu ƒu nam, ame siwo bla nu kplim kple akpedavɔsa.”
6 And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
Dziƒo ɖe gbeƒã eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye, elabena Mawu ŋutɔe nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la. (Sela)
7 Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
“See, o nye dukɔ, mele nu ƒo ge, O! Israel, maɖu ɖasefo ɖe ŋuwò, elabena nyee nye Mawu, wò Mawu la.
8 I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
Nyemeka mo na wò ɖe wò akpedavɔsa alo numevɔsa siwo le ŋkunye me ɖaa la ta o.
9 I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
Nyemehiã nyitsu tso wò nyikpo me, alo gbɔ̃wo tso wò gbɔ̃kpo me o,
10 For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
elabena avemelãwo katã tɔnye wonye, kple nyi siwo le togbɛ akpewo dzi.
11 I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.
Menya xevi ɖe sia ɖe si le towo dzi, eye nuwɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe si le gbe me la tɔnyee wonye.
12 If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
Ne dɔe le wuyem la, nyemagblɔe na wò o, elabena xexea me kple nu siwo katã le eme la nye tɔnye.
13 Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
Ɖe meɖua nyilã alo noa gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋua?
14 Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
“Mitsɔ akpedavɔsawo na Mawu, eye mixe miaƒe adzɔgbeɖefewo na Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.
15 Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
Miyɔm le xaxagbe, maɖe mi, eye miade bubu ŋutinye.”
16 But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
Ke Mawu le gbɔgblɔm na ame vɔ̃ɖi la be: “Mɔ ka nèkpɔ be nàxlẽ nye sewo afia, alo alé nye nubabla la ɖe nu?
17 Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
Wò la èlé fu nye nufiame, eye nètsɔ nye nyawo ƒu gbe ɖe megbe.
18 When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
Ne èkpɔ fiafitɔ la, èwɔa ɖeka kplii, eye nèdea ha kple ahasitɔwo.
19 You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
Nya vlowo doa go le nuwò, eye wò aɖe blea ame.
20 You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
Ègblɔa nya tsia tsitre ɖe nɔviwò ŋu, eye nèƒoa ɖi dawòvi ŋutsu.
21 These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
Nu siawoe nye nu siwo nèwɔ hafi mezi ɖoɖoe, eye nèsusu be ɖeko mele abe ye ene, gake maka mo na wò, eye mado asi ɖe mo na wò.
22 Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
“Bu esia ŋuti, wò ame si ŋlɔ Mawu be, ne menye nenema o la, mavuvu wò kakɛkakɛ, eye ame aɖeke maxɔ wò le asinye o.
23 Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
Ame si na akpedavɔsa la, de bubu ŋunye, eye wòta mɔ be mafia Mawu ƒe ɖeɖee.”
