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!
For the leader. A psalm of David. The king rejoices, Lord, in your might, how he exults because of your help!
2 Ètsɔ nu si eƒe dzi di la nɛ, eye nèwɔ nu siwo wòtsɔ eƒe nu bia la dzi nɛ. (Sela)
You have granted to him his heart’s desire, you have not withheld his lips’ request. (Selah)
3 Ètsɔ yayra xɔasi geɖewo do dza nɛ, eye nètsɔ fiakuku si wowɔ kple sika nyuitɔ la ɖɔ nɛ.
You came to meet him with rich blessings, you set on his head a golden crown.
4 Ebia agbe wò, eye nènae hedidi eƒe ŋkekewo tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.
He asked you for life, you gave it – many long days, forever and ever.
5 Eƒe ŋkɔxɔxɔ de du to dziɖuɖu siwo nènae la me. Ètsɔ atsyɔ̃ kple bubu kɔ ɖe eya amea dzi.
Great is his glory because of your help, honour and majesty you lay upon him.
6 Vavã ènae yayra si nu meyina o, eye nèna dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple aseyetsotsoe le ŋkuwò me.
For you make him most blessed forever, you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
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 puts always his trust in the Lord; the Most High, in his love, will preserve him unshaken.
8 Wò asi alé wò futɔwo katã, eye wò nuɖusi atu wò ketɔwo.
Your hand will reach all your foes, your right hand, all who 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 will make them like a furnace of fire, when you appear, Lord. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire will devour them.
10 Àtsrɔ̃ woƒe dzidzimeviwo ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye àtsrɔ̃ woƒe nunɔamesiwo ɖa le amegbetɔwo dome.
You will sweep their offspring from the earth, their children from humanity.
11 Togbɔ be wole vɔ̃ ɖom ɖe ŋuwò, eye wowɔ ɖoɖowo be woasẽ ŋuta le ŋuwò hã la, madze edzi na wo o,
When they scheme against you and hatch evil plots – they will fail.
12 elabena ne èdidi wò aŋutrɔ ɖe wo dzi la, woatrɔ ʋu me ade wò adzo.
For you aim your bow at their faces, make them turn in flight.
13 Ède ŋgɔ, O! Yehowa, le wò ŋusẽ me; eya ta míadzi ha, eye míakafu wò ŋusẽ.
Be exalted, Lord, in your strength, to your might we shall sing and make music.
