Psalms 85
1 Yahweh, you have been kind to [us people who live in] this land; you have enabled [us] Israeli people to become prosperous again.
Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, èɖe amenuveve fia wò anyigba; ègaɖo Yakob ƒe nunyonamewo te.
2 You forgave [us], your people, for the sins that we had committed; you pardoned [us] for all our sins [DOU].
Ètsɔ wò dukɔ la ƒe vodada kee, eye nètsyɔ nu woƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã dzi. (Sela)
3 You stopped being angry [with us] and turned away from severely punishing [us].
Èɖe asi le wò dzikudodo helĩhelĩ ŋuti eye nèdzudzɔ dɔmedzoe kaɖikaɖi dodo.
4 Now, God, the one who saves/rescues us, (restore us/make us prosperous again) and stop being angry with us!
O! Mawu, míaƒe Ɖela, gaɖo mí te, míaƒe nu meganɔ dzi kum na wò o.
5 (Will you continue to be angry with us forever?/Please do not continue to be angry with us forever.) [DOU, RHQ]
Ɖe nàdo dɔmedzoe ɖe mía ŋu ɖikaa? Ɖe nàdidi wò dɔmedzoe la wòazɔ ato dzidzimewo katã mea?
6 Please enable us [RHQ] to prosper again in order that [we], your people, will rejoice about what you [have done for us].
Màgagbɔ agbe mí, be wò dukɔ nàkpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe ŋuwò oa?
7 Yahweh, by rescuing us [from our troubles/difficulties], show us that you faithfully love us.
O! Yehowa, ɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la fia mí, eye nàna wò xɔname mí.
8 I want to listen to what Yahweh [our] God says, because he promises/says that he will enable [us], his people, to live peacefully, if we do not return to doing foolish things.
Maɖo to ase nya si Yehowa Mawu agblɔ; edo ŋutifafa ƒe ŋugbe na eƒe dukɔ, eƒe ame kɔkɔewo, gake ɖeko mègana woatrɔ ayi bometsitsi gbɔ o.
9 He is surely ready to save/rescue those who revere him, in order that [his] glory/splendor will be seen in our land.
Vavã eƒe ɖeɖe tsɔ ɖe ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la gbɔ, ale be eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nanɔ míaƒe anyigba dzi.
10 [When that happens], he will both faithfully love us and faithfully [do for us what he promised to do] [PRS]; and we will act/behave righteously, and he will give us peace, which will be like a kiss that he gives us.
Lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ do go wo nɔewo, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ŋutifafa gbugbɔ nu na wo nɔewo.
11 Here on earth, we will (be loyal to/continually believe in) God, and from heaven, God will act justly/fairly [toward us].
Nuteƒewɔwɔ mie tso anyigba me, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye do mo ɖa kpɔ anyigba tso dziƒo.
12 Yes, Yahweh will do good things [for us], and there will be great harvests in our land.
Yehowa ana nu si nyo la mí vavã, eye míaƒe anyigba atse eƒe ku.
13 [Yahweh always acts] righteously [PRS, MET]; he acts righteously wherever he goes.
Dzɔdzɔenyenye le eŋgɔ, eye wòle mɔ tam na eƒe afɔtoƒewo.
