Psalms 72
1 Solomon’s. O God! thy justice, give, unto the king, And thy righteousness, unto the son of a king;
Ha na Solomo. O! Mawu, tsɔ wò afia nyui tsotso do na fia la, kple wò dzɔdzɔenyenye na fiavi la.
2 May he judge, Thy people with righteousness; And thine oppressed ones 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 [be laden] with righteousness;
Towo atsɔ kesinɔnuwo vɛ na wò dukɔ, eye togbɛwo atsɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe kutsetse vɛ na wo.
4 May he, Vindicate the oppressed of the people, Bring deliverance to 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 Let men revere thee, With the sun, And in presence of the moon, Unto the remotest generation.
Zi ale si ɣe kple ɣleti li la, anɔ te le dzidzimewo katã me.
6 Let him come down, Like rain on fields to be mown, Like myriad drops on land to be reaped.
Anɔ abe tsidzadza ɖe anyigba si dzi woƒo gbe le kple agbafie si dza ɖe anyigba hede tsii ene.
7 May righteousness, in his days, blossom forth, And abundance of peace, till there be no moon.
Ame dzɔdzɔewo ayi ŋgɔ le eƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me, eye kesinɔnuwo ado agbogbo va se ɖe esime ɣleti magaɖi o.
8 So let him have dominion, From sea to sea, And from the River ["Euphrates"] 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 Before him, let the men of the desert kneel, But, as for his foes, the dust, let them lick;
Dukɔ siwo le gbegbe la ade ta agu nɛ, eye eƒe futɔwo aɖuɖɔ ʋuʋudedi.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the Coastlands, A gift, let them render, The kings of Sheba and Seba, A present, let them bring;
Tarsis fia kple didiƒe ƒutatɔwo ahe adzɔ vɛ nɛ, eye Sieba kple Seba fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ nɛ.
11 Yea let all kings, bow down unto him, Let, all nations, serve him;
Fiawo katã ade ta agu nɛ, eye dukɔwo katã asubɔe,
12 Because he Rescueth, The needy from the rich, The oppressed, who hath no helper;
elabena aɖe hiãtɔ si le avi fam kple wɔmenɔ si xɔnametɔ aɖeke meli na o.
13 He Pitieth the weak and the needy, And, the lives of the needy, he Saveth:
Akpɔ nublanui na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye wòaɖe ame dahewo tso ku me.
14 From extortion, and, violence, he Redeemeth their life, And precious is their blood in his sight.
Aɖe wo le teteɖeanyi kple ŋutasesẽ me, elabena woƒe ʋu xɔ asi le eŋkume.
15 Let him live, then! And be there given unto him of the gold of Sheba, —Let prayer also be offered for him continually, All the day, let him be blessed.
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 corn in the earth, in the top of the mountains, —Let the fruit thereof, wave like Lebanon, And they of the city bloom like the fresh shoots 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 be age-abiding, In the presence of the sun, let his Name flourish, —And may all the families of the ground bless themselves in him, All nations, pronounce him happy!
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 Yahweh God, the God of Israel, —Who doeth wondrous things by himself alone;
Woakafu Yehowa Mawu, Israel ƒe Mawu la, eya ame si ko wɔa nu dzɔatsuwo.
19 And blessed be his glorious Name, unto times age-abiding, —And filled with his glory be all the earth, 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 Ended are the prayers of David, son of Jesse.
Esiawo wu Yese ƒe vi, David ƒe gbedodoɖawo nu.
