< Psalms 45 >

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Korah ƒe viwo ƒe nufiameha si nye srɔ̃ɖeha na hɛnɔ la, ne woadzi ɖe dzogbenya ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Nya nyuiwo le fiefiem le nye dzi me esi mele ha sia kpam na fia la, eye nye aɖee nye nuŋlɔla adodoea ƒe nuŋlɔti.
2 You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.
Èdze ɖeka wu ŋutsuwo katã, wotsɔ amenuveve si ami na wò nuyi, elabena Mawu yra wò tegbee.
3 Put on your sword, make it ready at your side, O strong chief, with your glory and power.
O! Kalẽtɔ, tsɔ wò yi ta ɖe ali, eye nàtsɔ wò atsyɔ̃ kple gãnyenye ata.
4 And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.
Do sɔ dziɖuɖutɔe le wò fianyenye me. Le nyateƒe, ɖokuibɔbɔ kple dzɔdzɔenyenye me, na wò nuɖusi naɖe wò nuwɔwɔ dziŋɔwo afia.
5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's haters; because of them the peoples are falling under you.
Na wò aŋutrɔ ɖaɖɛwo naŋɔ fia la ƒe futɔwo ƒe dzi, eye na dukɔwo nadze anyi ɖe wò afɔ nu.
6 Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.
O! Mawu, wò fiazikpui ali ke tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, wò fiaɖuƒe la ƒe tsiamiti anye nuteƒewɔwɔ ƒe atikplɔ.
7 You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.
Èlɔ̃ dzɔdzɔenyenye, eye nètsri nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ; eya ta Mawu, wò Mawu la ɖo wò nèkɔ gbɔ fia bubuwo ta to dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ƒe amisisi na wò me.
8 Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.
Kotoklobo, lifi kple atike ʋeʋĩ le ya ɖem le wò awuwo me. Kasaŋkuwo na nèle aseye tsom le wò nyiɖufiasawo me.
9 Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir.
Fiavinyɔnuwo le wò nyɔnu bubumewo dome, eye fiasrɔ̃ si do Ofir Sikanuwo la nɔ wò nuɖusime.
10 O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;
O! Vinyɔnu, ɖo to, nàbu eŋu, eye nàƒu to anyi. Ŋlɔ wò dukɔ kple fofowò ƒe aƒe la be.
11 So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.
Wò tugbedzedze wɔ dɔ ɖe fia la dzi ŋutɔ, eya ta de bubu eŋu, elabena eyae nye wò aƒetɔ.
12 And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.
Tiro vinyɔnu atsɔ nunana vɛ, eye ŋutsu kesinɔtɔwo ava bia amenuveve tso gbɔwò.
13 In the great house the king's daughter is all shining: her clothing is worked with gold.
Fiavinyɔnu la nye keklẽ sɔŋ le eƒe xɔ me; eye wotsɔ sika lé ɖe eƒe awu legbe ƒe teƒeteƒewo keŋ.
14 She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.
Edo awu legbe si wolɔ̃ kple ka, eye wokplɔe va fia la gbɔe; eƒe dɔlanyɔnu siwo menya ŋutsu o la kplɔe ɖo, eye wokplɔ wo vɛ na wò.
15 With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house.
Wokplɔ wo ge ɖe eme le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple aseyetsotso me, ale woge ɖe fiasã la me.
16 Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.
Mía viŋutsuwo axɔ ɖe mía fofowo teƒe, eye míawɔ wo fiaviwo le anyigba la katã dzi.
17 I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.
Mana woaɖo ŋku dziwò le dzidzimewo katã me, eya ta dukɔwo akafu wò tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
