Psalmowo 45
1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe nufiameha si nye srɔ̃ɖeha na hɛnɔ la, ne woadzi ɖe dzogbenya ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Nya nyuiwo le fiefiem le nye dzi me esi mele ha sia kpam na fia la, eye nye aɖee nye nuŋlɔla adodoea ƒe nuŋlɔti.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
2 Èdze ɖeka wu ŋutsuwo katã, wotsɔ amenuveve si ami na wò nuyi, elabena Mawu yra wò tegbee.
You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips, since God has blessed you forever.
3 O! Kalẽtɔ, tsɔ wò yi ta ɖe ali, eye nàtsɔ wò atsyɔ̃ kple gãnyenye ata.
Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.
4 Do sɔ dziɖuɖutɔe le wò fianyenye me. Le nyateƒe, ɖokuibɔbɔ kple dzɔdzɔenyenye me, na wò nuɖusi naɖe wò nuwɔwɔ dziŋɔwo afia.
In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
5 Na wò aŋutrɔ ɖaɖɛwo naŋɔ fia la ƒe futɔwo ƒe dzi, eye na dukɔwo nadze anyi ɖe wò afɔ nu.
Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.
6 O! Mawu, wò fiazikpui ali ke tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, wò fiaɖuƒe la ƒe tsiamiti anye nuteƒewɔwɔ ƒe atikplɔ.
Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7 Èlɔ̃ dzɔdzɔenyenye, eye nètsri nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ; eya ta Mawu, wò Mawu la ɖo wò nèkɔ gbɔ fia bubuwo ta to dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ƒe amisisi na wò me.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.
8 Kotoklobo, lifi kple atike ʋeʋĩ le ya ɖem le wò awuwo me. Kasaŋkuwo na nèle aseye tsom le wò nyiɖufiasawo me.
All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
9 Fiavinyɔnuwo le wò nyɔnu bubumewo dome, eye fiasrɔ̃ si do Ofir Sikanuwo la nɔ wò nuɖusime.
The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.
10 O! Vinyɔnu, ɖo to, nàbu eŋu, eye nàƒu to anyi. Ŋlɔ wò dukɔ kple fofowò ƒe aƒe la be.
Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,
11 Wò tugbedzedze wɔ dɔ ɖe fia la dzi ŋutɔ, eya ta de bubu eŋu, elabena eyae nye wò aƒetɔ.
and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.
12 Tiro vinyɔnu atsɔ nunana vɛ, eye ŋutsu kesinɔtɔwo ava bia amenuveve tso gbɔwò.
The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.
13 Fiavinyɔnu la nye keklẽ sɔŋ le eƒe xɔ me; eye wotsɔ sika lé ɖe eƒe awu legbe ƒe teƒeteƒewo keŋ.
All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.
14 Edo awu legbe si wolɔ̃ kple ka, eye wokplɔe va fia la gbɔe; eƒe dɔlanyɔnu siwo menya ŋutsu o la kplɔe ɖo, eye wokplɔ wo vɛ na wò.
In colorful garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions are brought before you.
15 Wokplɔ wo ge ɖe eme le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple aseyetsotso me, ale woge ɖe fiasã la me.
They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.
16 Mía viŋutsuwo axɔ ɖe mía fofowo teƒe, eye míawɔ wo fiaviwo le anyigba la katã dzi.
Your sons will succeed your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
17 Mana woaɖo ŋku dziwò le dzidzimewo katã me, eya ta dukɔwo akafu wò tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
