Psalmowo 21
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, fia la le dzidzɔ kpɔm le wò ŋusẽ me. Ale gbegbe wòle aseye tsom le dziɖuɖu gã siwo nènae la ta!
The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Ètsɔ nu si eƒe dzi di la nɛ, eye nèwɔ nu siwo wòtsɔ eƒe nu bia la dzi nɛ. (Sela)
You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Ètsɔ yayra xɔasi geɖewo do dza nɛ, eye nètsɔ fiakuku si wowɔ kple sika nyuitɔ la ɖɔ nɛ.
For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 Ebia agbe wò, eye nènae hedidi eƒe ŋkekewo tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.
He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5 Eƒe ŋkɔxɔxɔ de du to dziɖuɖu siwo nènae la me. Ètsɔ atsyɔ̃ kple bubu kɔ ɖe eya amea dzi.
His glory is great in your salvation: honor and majesty have you laid on him.
6 Vavã ènae yayra si nu meyina o, eye nèna dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple aseyetsotsoe le ŋkuwò me.
For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.
7 Elabena fia la ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye le Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o ta la, mavɔ̃ akpɔ gbeɖe o.
For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8 Wò asi alé wò futɔwo katã, eye wò nuɖusi atu wò ketɔwo.
Your hand shall find out all your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.
9 Ne wò vavaɣi ɖo la, àwɔ wo abe kpodzo bibi ene. Yehowa ami wo le eƒe dɔmedzoe me, eye eƒe dzo afia wo katã.
You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Àtsrɔ̃ woƒe dzidzimeviwo ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye àtsrɔ̃ woƒe nunɔamesiwo ɖa le amegbetɔwo dome.
Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 Togbɔ be wole vɔ̃ ɖom ɖe ŋuwò, eye wowɔ ɖoɖowo be woasẽ ŋuta le ŋuwò hã la, madze edzi na wo o,
For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12 elabena ne èdidi wò aŋutrɔ ɖe wo dzi la, woatrɔ ʋu me ade wò adzo.
Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows on your strings against the face of them.
13 Ède ŋgɔ, O! Yehowa, le wò ŋusẽ me; eya ta míadzi ha, eye míakafu wò ŋusẽ.
Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.
