Psalmowo 83

1 Asaf ƒe ha. O! Mawu, mègazi kpi o, O! Mawu, mègazi ɖoɖoe o, mèganɔ anyi kpoo o.

Keep not you silence, O God: hold not your peace, and be not still, O God.

2 Kpɔ ale si wò futɔwo le nyanyram ɖa, kpɔ ale si wò ketɔwo kɔ ta dzii ɖa.

For, lo, your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate you have lifted up the head.

3 Wole nu baɖa ɖom ɖe wò dukɔ ŋu le ayeme, eye woɖo nugbe ɖe ame siwo nèlɔ̃na la ŋu.

They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your hidden ones.

4 Wogblɔ be, “Miva, míatsrɔ̃ wo, be womaganye dukɔ o, eye womagaɖo ŋku Israel ƒe ŋkɔ dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.”

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 Wotsɔ tameɖoɖo ɖeka de adaŋu, eye wobla ɖe ŋuwò,

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against you:

6 ame siwo le Edom ƒe agbadɔwo me, Ismaelitɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Hagritɔwo,

The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 Gebalitɔwo, Amonviwo, Amalekitɔwo, Filistitɔwo kple ame siwo tso Tiro.

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Asiria gɔ̃ hã kpe ɖe wo ŋu, be wòado alɔ Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)

Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)

9 Wɔ wo abe ale si nèwɔ Midian, Sisera kple Yabin le Kison tɔsisi la to ene,

Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10 ame siwo tsrɔ̃ le Endor, eye wole abe gbeɖuɖɔ ene le anyigba.

Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11 Wɔ woƒe bubumewo abe Oreb kple Zeb ene, eye woƒe dumegãwo abe Zeba kple Zalmuna ene,

Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12 ame siwo gblɔ be, “Mina míaxɔ Mawu ƒe lãnyiƒewo.”

Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13 O! Nye Mawu, wɔ wo abe betsyo kple blitsa si ya lɔ ɖe nu ene.

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14 Abe ale si dzo biaa ave, alo dzo ƒe aɖe tɔa dzo towo ene la,

As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;

15 nenemae nàti wo yomee kple wò ya sesẽ, eye nàdo ŋɔdzi na wo kple wò ahom.

So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm.

16 Tsɔ ŋukpe tsyɔ mo na wo, ale be amewo nadi wò ŋkɔ, O Yehowa.

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek your name, O LORD.

17 Na ŋukpe nalé wo, woƒe mo natsi dãa, eye wonetsrɔ̃ le ŋukpe me.

Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18 Na woanya be wò, ame si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa la, wò koe nye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.

That men may know that you, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, are the most high over all the earth.
