Psalms 72
1 For Solomon. O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto 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 He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thine afflicted with judgment.
Adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu na wò dukɔ la le dzɔdzɔenyenye me, eye wòatso afia nyui na ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã la.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, by righteousness.
Towo atsɔ kesinɔnuwo vɛ na wò dukɔ, eye togbɛwo atsɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe kutsetse vɛ na wo.
4 He will do justice to the afflicted of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.
Aʋli ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã la ta, axɔ na hiãtɔwo ƒe viwo, eye wòagbã ameteɖetola la nyanyanya.
5 They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.
Zi ale si ɣe kple ɣleti li la, anɔ te le dzidzimewo katã me.
6 He shall come down like rain on the mown grass, as 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 In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon be no more.
Ame dzɔdzɔewo ayi ŋgɔ le eƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me, eye kesinɔnuwo ado agbogbo va se ɖe esime ɣleti magaɖi o.
8 And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto 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 The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.
Dukɔ siwo le gbegbe la ade ta agu nɛ, eye eƒe futɔwo aɖuɖɔ ʋuʋudedi.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer tribute:
Tarsis fia kple didiƒe ƒutatɔwo ahe adzɔ vɛ nɛ, eye Sieba kple Seba fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ nɛ.
11 Yea, all kings shall bow down before him; all nations shall serve him.
Fiawo katã ade ta agu nɛ, eye dukɔwo katã asubɔe,
12 For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;
elabena aɖe hiãtɔ si le avi fam kple wɔmenɔ si xɔnametɔ aɖeke meli na o.
13 He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy:
Akpɔ nublanui na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye wòaɖe ame dahewo tso ku me.
14 He will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
Aɖe wo le teteɖeanyi kple ŋutasesẽ me, elabena woƒe ʋu xɔ asi le eŋkume.
15 And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.
Fia la nenɔ agbe tegbee! Wonetsɔ Seba sika nɛ. Amewo nedo gbe ɖa ɖe eta ɖaa, eye wòayra ŋkeke blibo la.
16 There shall be abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb 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 His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall 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 Jehovah Elohim, the God of Israel, who alone doeth wondrous things!
Woakafu Yehowa Mawu, Israel ƒe Mawu la, eya ame si ko wɔa nu dzɔatsuwo.
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever! and let the whole 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 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Esiawo wu Yese ƒe vi, David ƒe gbedodoɖawo nu.
