Psalms 72
1 Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.
Ha na Solomo. O! Mawu, tsɔ wò afia nyui tsotso do na fia la, kple wò dzɔdzɔenyenye na fiavi la.
2 May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.
Adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu na wò dukɔ la le dzɔdzɔenyenye me, eye wòatso afia nyui na ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã la.
3 May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.
Towo atsɔ kesinɔnuwo vɛ na wò dukɔ, eye togbɛwo atsɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe kutsetse vɛ na wo.
4 May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
Aʋli ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã la ta, axɔ na hiãtɔwo ƒe viwo, eye wòagbã ameteɖetola la nyanyanya.
5 May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.
Zi ale si ɣe kple ɣleti li la, anɔ te le dzidzimewo katã me.
6 May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.
Anɔ abe tsidzadza ɖe anyigba si dzi woƒo gbe le kple agbafie si dza ɖe anyigba hede tsii ene.
7 May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.
Ame dzɔdzɔewo ayi ŋgɔ le eƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me, eye kesinɔnuwo ado agbogbo va se ɖe esime ɣleti magaɖi o.
8 May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
Aɖu fia tso atsiaƒu ƒe go sia dzi ayi go kemɛ dzi, tso tɔsisi to ase ɖe anyigba la ƒe mlɔenuwo ke.
9 May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.
Dukɔ siwo le gbegbe la ade ta agu nɛ, eye eƒe futɔwo aɖuɖɔ ʋuʋudedi.
10 May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
Tarsis fia kple didiƒe ƒutatɔwo ahe adzɔ vɛ nɛ, eye Sieba kple Seba fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ nɛ.
11 May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
Fiawo katã ade ta agu nɛ, eye dukɔwo katã asubɔe,
12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.
elabena aɖe hiãtɔ si le avi fam kple wɔmenɔ si xɔnametɔ aɖeke meli na o.
13 He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.
Akpɔ nublanui na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye wòaɖe ame dahewo tso ku me.
14 He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.
Aɖe wo le teteɖeanyi kple ŋutasesẽ me, elabena woƒe ʋu xɔ asi le eŋkume.
15 Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.
Fia la nenɔ agbe tegbee! Wonetsɔ Seba sika nɛ. Amewo nedo gbe ɖa ɖe eta ɖaa, eye wòayra ŋkeke blibo la.
16 May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.
Bli nedo agbogbo ɖe anyigba la katã dzi; eye neʋã ɖe togbɛwo katã dzi. Blitiawo netri abe Lebanontɔwo ene, eye woanɔ abe gbe le gbedzi ene.
17 May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.
Eƒe ŋkɔ nenɔ anyi ɖaa, eye nenɔ anyi zi ale si ɣe le keklẽm. Woayra dukɔwo katã to eya amea dzi, eye woayɔe be yayratɔ.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
Woakafu Yehowa Mawu, Israel ƒe Mawu la, eya ame si ko wɔa nu dzɔatsuwo.
19 And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
Woakafu eƒe ŋkɔ si ŋu ŋutikɔkɔe le la tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me; eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe neyɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
20 Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
Esiawo wu Yese ƒe vi, David ƒe gbedodoɖawo nu.
