Psalms 72
1 [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy 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 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor 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 little hills, by righteousness.
Towo atsɔ kesinɔnuwo vɛ na wò dukɔ, eye togbɛwo atsɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe kutsetse vɛ na wo.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall 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 the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
Zi ale si ɣe kple ɣleti li la, anɔ te le dzidzimewo katã me.
6 He shall come down like rain upon 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 so long as the moon endureth.
Ame dzɔdzɔewo ayi ŋgɔ le eƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me, eye kesinɔnuwo ado agbogbo va se ɖe esime ɣleti magaɖi o.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and 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 They that dwell in the wilderness 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 bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Tarsis fia kple didiƒe ƒutatɔwo ahe adzɔ vɛ nɛ, eye Sieba kple Seba fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ nɛ.
11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
Fiawo katã ade ta agu nɛ, eye dukɔwo katã asubɔe,
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper.
elabena aɖe hiãtɔ si le avi fam kple wɔmenɔ si xɔnametɔ aɖeke meli na o.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
Akpɔ nublanui na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye wòaɖe ame dahewo tso ku me.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall be their blood 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: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised.
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 a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like 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 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed 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] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only 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.
