< 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 leader of the music. To be accompanied with the Shoshannim. A song of loveliness by the sons of Korah.” My heart is overflowing with a good matter; I will address my work to the king: May my tongue be like the pen of a ready writer!
2 Èdze ɖeka wu ŋutsuwo katã, wotsɔ amenuveve si ami na wò nuyi, elabena Mawu yra wò tegbee.
Thou art the fairest of the sons of men; Grace is poured upon thy lips; For God hath blessed thee for ever!
3 O! Kalẽtɔ, tsɔ wò yi ta ɖe ali, eye nàtsɔ wò atsyɔ̃ kple gãnyenye ata.
Gird thy sword to thy thigh, thou hero!-Thy glory and ornament!
4 Do sɔ dziɖuɖutɔe le wò fianyenye me. Le nyateƒe, ɖokuibɔbɔ kple dzɔdzɔenyenye me, na wò nuɖusi naɖe wò nuwɔwɔ dziŋɔwo afia.
In thy glorious array ride forth victoriously, On account of truth and mildness and justice; And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things!
5 Na wò aŋutrɔ ɖaɖɛwo naŋɔ fia la ƒe futɔwo ƒe dzi, eye na dukɔwo nadze anyi ɖe wò afɔ nu.
Thine arrows are sharp; Nations shall fall before thee; They shall pierce the hearts of the king's enemies.
6 O! Mawu, wò fiazikpui ali ke tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, wò fiaɖuƒe la ƒe tsiamiti anye nuteƒewɔwɔ ƒe atikplɔ.
Thy throne is God's for ever and ever; The sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of equity!
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.
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest iniquity; Therefore hath God, thy God, anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows!
8 Kotoklobo, lifi kple atike ʋeʋĩ le ya ɖem le wò awuwo me. Kasaŋkuwo na nèle aseye tsom le wò nyiɖufiasawo me.
All thy garments are myrrh, aloes, and cassia; From ivory palaces stringed instruments delight thee.
9 Fiavinyɔnuwo le wò nyɔnu bubumewo dome, eye fiasrɔ̃ si do Ofir Sikanuwo la nɔ wò nuɖusime.
Daughters of kings are among thy chosen women; On the right hand stands the queen In 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 thine ear; Forget thy people and thy father's house!
11 Wò tugbedzedze wɔ dɔ ɖe fia la dzi ŋutɔ, eya ta de bubu eŋu, elabena eyae nye wò aƒetɔ.
For the king is captivated with thy beauty; He is now thy lord; honor thou him!
12 Tiro vinyɔnu atsɔ nunana vɛ, eye ŋutsu kesinɔtɔwo ava bia amenuveve tso gbɔwò.
So shall the daughter of Tyre seek thy favor with gifts, The rich among the people.
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 king's daughter in her apartment; Her robe 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 variegated garments shall she be led to the king; The virgin companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15 Wokplɔ wo ge ɖe eme le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple aseyetsotso me, ale woge ɖe fiasã la me.
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; They shall enter the king's palace.
16 Mía viŋutsuwo axɔ ɖe mía fofowo teƒe, eye míawɔ wo fiaviwo le anyigba la katã dzi.
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes through all 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 make thy name memorable throughout all generations; So shall the nations praise thee for ever and ever!
