Psalms 72
1 Of Solomon. Give the king your authority, O God, and your righteousness to the king's son.
Ha na Solomo. O! Mawu, tsɔ wò afia nyui tsotso do na fia la, kple wò dzɔdzɔenyenye na fiavi la.
2 May he be a judge of your people in righteousness, and make true decisions for the poor.
Adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu na wò dukɔ la le dzɔdzɔenyenye me, eye wòatso afia nyui na ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã la.
3 May the mountains give peace to the people, and the hills righteousness.
Towo atsɔ kesinɔnuwo vɛ na wò dukɔ, eye togbɛwo atsɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe kutsetse vɛ na wo.
4 May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed.
Aʋli ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã la ta, axɔ na hiãtɔwo ƒe viwo, eye wòagbã ameteɖetola la nyanyanya.
5 May his life go on as long as the sun and moon, through all generations.
Zi ale si ɣe kple ɣleti li la, anɔ te le dzidzimewo katã me.
6 May he come down like rain on the cut grass; like showers watering the earth.
Anɔ abe tsidzadza ɖe anyigba si dzi woƒo gbe le kple agbafie si dza ɖe anyigba hede tsii ene.
7 In his days may the upright do well, living in peace as long as there is a moon in heaven.
Ame dzɔdzɔewo ayi ŋgɔ le eƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me, eye kesinɔnuwo ado agbogbo va se ɖe esime ɣleti magaɖi o.
8 Let his kingdom be from sea to sea, from the River 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 Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.
Dukɔ siwo le gbegbe la ade ta agu nɛ, eye eƒe futɔwo aɖuɖɔ ʋuʋudedi.
10 Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands come back with offerings; let the kings of Sheba and Seba give of their stores.
Tarsis fia kple didiƒe ƒutatɔwo ahe adzɔ vɛ nɛ, eye Sieba kple Seba fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ nɛ.
11 Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.
Fiawo katã ade ta agu nɛ, eye dukɔwo katã asubɔe,
12 For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.
elabena aɖe hiãtɔ si le avi fam kple wɔmenɔ si xɔnametɔ aɖeke meli na o.
13 He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need.
Akpɔ nublanui na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye wòaɖe ame dahewo tso ku me.
14 He will keep their souls free from evil designs and violent attacks; and their blood will be of value in his eyes.
Aɖe wo le teteɖeanyi kple ŋutasesẽ me, elabena woƒe ʋu xɔ asi le eŋkume.
15 May he have long life, and may gold from Sheba be given to him: may prayers be made for him at all times; may blessings be on him every day.
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 wide-stretching fields of grain in the land, shaking on the top of the mountains, full of fruit like Lebanon: may its stems be unnumbered like the grass of the earth.
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 go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.
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 Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, the only doer of wonders.
Woakafu Yehowa Mawu, Israel ƒe Mawu la, eya ame si ko wɔa nu dzɔatsuwo.
19 Praise to the glory of his noble name for ever; let all the earth be full of his glory. So be it, So be it.
Woakafu eƒe ŋkɔ si ŋu ŋutikɔkɔe le la tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me; eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe neyɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
20 The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
Esiawo wu Yese ƒe vi, David ƒe gbedodoɖawo nu.
