1Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.
1 Ya ay fundo, ma Rabbi sifa! Ya Rabbi ay Irikoyo, ni ya beeraykoy no gumo. Ni goono ga daabu nda beeray beeri, Da koytaray darza mo.
2He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
2 Nin kaŋ goono ga ni boŋ daabu nda hananyaŋ sanda bankaaray cine, Ni goono ga beeney daaru sanda kosandi taafe cine.
3He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
3 A na nga jidan bisey ganjey sinji harey ra, A na burey ciya nga torka, A ga dira haw fatayaŋ boŋ.
4He makes his messengers or, angels winds; his servants flames of fire.
4 A ga nga malaykey te haw faaruyaŋ. A ga nga goy-teerey mo te danji beele.
5He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.
5 A na ndunnya tiksa sinji, Zama a ma si zinji hal abada abadin.
6You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
6 Ni n'a daabu nda teeku guusuyaŋ sanda taafe cine, Harey kay tondi kuukey boŋ.
7At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
7 Kaŋ i maa ni deeniyaŋo i zuru, Kaŋ i maa ni kaatiyaŋ jinda i te nyagas! da zuray.
8The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
8 Tondi kuukey tun, Goorey mo ye ganda ka koy hala nango kaŋ ni daŋ i se.
9You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.
9 Ni na hirri daŋ teeku harey se kaŋ ga naŋ i ma si daaru ka bisa, Zama i ma si ye ka kaa ka laabo daabu.
10He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
10 A na hari-moy donton i ma koy gooro ra, I ga zuru tondi nda tondi game ra,
11They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
11 I ga ganji ham kulu haŋandi, Ganji farkayey goono ga haŋ ka ngey jaw kaa.
12The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.
12 I jarga mo beene curey ga goro, I goono ga hẽ tuuri kambey boŋ.
13He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
13 Rabbi ga hari kaa nga jidan bisey kaŋ go beene ra ka gusam tondey boŋ. Ndunnya kungu nd'a goyey nafa.
14He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:
14 A ga naŋ subu ma te almaney se, Da kobtoyaŋ mo kaŋ borey ga far, Zama a ma ŋwaari kaa taray, a ma fun laabo ra,
15wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.
15 Da duvan* kaŋ ga naŋ boro bine ma kaan, Da ji kaŋ ga naŋ a moyduma ma nyaale, Da ŋwaari kaŋ ga boro bine gaabandi.
16Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
16 Rabbi tuuri-nyaŋey ga haŋ ka yeesi, Liban ra sedrey* nooya, kaŋ yaŋ a tilam,
17where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.
17 Nangey kaŋ curayzey ga ngey fitey te. Waaliya mo, sipres* tuurey no ga ti a kwaara.
18The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
18 Tondi kuukey mo, tondi boŋ hinciney wane no, Tondey zullanta mo, tondi boŋ hansey tuguyaŋ do no.
19He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
19 A na hando daŋ alwaatey se, Wayna mo ga nga kaŋyaŋo do bay.
20You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
20 Ni ga kubay te a ma ciya mo cin, Alwaati kaŋ cine ganji hamey kulu ga fun taray moso-moso.
21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
21 Muusu beeri izey goono ga korro ngey hamey banda, I goono ga ngey ŋwaaro ceeci Irikoy gaa.
22The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens.
22 Wayna fattanta ngey mo ga koy lamba, Ka kani ngey tuguyaŋ guusey ra.
23Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.
23 Adam-ize mo ga fatta ka koy nga goyo da nga taabey do hala wiciri kambu.
24Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
24 Ya Rabbi, man ni goyey baayaŋ misa! Laakal no ni n'i kulu te d'a. Ndunnya go toonante da ni takaharey.
25There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
25 Yongo teeko nooya, kaŋ ga beeri, a ga tafay mo, Naŋ kaŋ baafuney kaŋ si kabu bara, Hari hamey, ikayney da ibeerey.
26There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
26 Noodin no hiyey ga dira, Noodin mo no Lebiyatan* go, Nga kaŋ ni taka zama a ma fooru haro ra.
27These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.
27 Woodin yaŋ kulu goono ga ni hangan, Ni m'i no ngey ŋwaarey i alwaatey ra.
28You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
28 I ga haŋ kaŋ ni g'i no margu-margu, Ni ga ni kambe fiti, ngey mo ga kungu nda gomni.
29You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.
29 Ni ga ni moyduma tugu, i boŋ ga haw. Ni ga i biyey kaa, I ga bu ka ye ka te ngey laabu zeena koyne.
30You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
30 Ni ga ni Biya donton, ngey mo ga taka, Ni ga laabo alhaalo tajandi.
31Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.
31 Rabbi darza ma goro hal abada. Rabbi ma farhã nga goyey ra.
32He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
32 A ga ndunnya guna, nga mo ma zinji, D'a na tondi kuukey ham, kala i ma dullu kaa.
33I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
33 Ay ga baytu Rabbi se ay fundo me-a-me, Ay g'ay Irikoyo sifa ay goonoyaŋ kulu ra.
34Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.
34 Ay fonguyaŋey ma ciya haŋ kaŋ ga kaan a se, Ay mo, ay ga farhã Rabbi ra.
35Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
35 Zunubi teekoy ma ban ndunnya ra. Laalakoyey mo ma si ye ka bara. Ya ay fundo, ma Rabbi sifa! Alleluya!
