Psalms 72
1 Ti Solomoni. Fi ìdájọ́ fún àwọn ọba, Ọlọ́run, ọmọ-aládé ni ìwọ fi òdodo rẹ fún.
A psalm of Solomon. God, please give the king fairness, and give the king's son the ability to do what's right.
2 Yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú òdodo, yóò sì máa fi ẹ̀tọ́ ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn tálákà rẹ̀.
May he rightly judge your people, and may he be fair to the poor.
3 Àwọn òkè ńlá yóò máa mú àlàáfíà fún àwọn ènìyàn àti òkè kéékèèké nípa òdodo.
May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring goodness.
4 Yóò dáàbò bo àwọn tí a pọ́n lójú láàrín àwọn ènìyàn yóò gba àwọn ọmọ aláìní; yóò sì fa àwọn aninilára ya.
May he defend the poor and save their children, may he crush those who oppress them.
5 Àwọn òtòṣì àti aláìní yóò máa fi ọ̀wọ̀ ńlá fún ọ nígbà gbogbo, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí oòrùn àti òṣùpá bá ń ràn, yóò ti pẹ́ tó, láti ìrandíran.
May they respect him as long as the sun and the moon shine above, for all generations.
6 Yóò dàbí òjò tí ó ń rọ̀ sórí pápá ìrẹ́mọ́lẹ̀, bí ọwọ́ òjò tó ń rin ilẹ̀.
May his reign be like rain falling on new grass, like showers that water the earth.
7 Àwọn olódodo yóò gbilẹ̀ ni ọjọ́ rẹ̀ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àlàáfíà yóò sì wà; títí tí òṣùpá kò fi ní sí mọ́.
May those who live right prosper under his rule; may there be great prosperity until the moon is no more.
8 Yóò máa jẹ ọba láti òkun dé òkun àti láti odò Eufurate títí dé òpin ayé.
May he rule from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth.
9 Àwọn tí ó wà ní aginjù yóò tẹríba fún un àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ yóò máa lá erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀.
Desert tribes will kneel before him; and his enemies will bite the dust.
10 Àwọn ọba Tarṣiṣi àti ti erékùṣù wọn yóò mú ọrẹ wá fún un; àwọn ọba Ṣeba àti Seba wọn ó mú ẹ̀bùn wá fún un.
The kings of Tarshish and the islands will bring him tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba will present him with gifts.
11 Gbogbo ọba yóò tẹríba fún un àti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè yóò sìn ín.
Every king will bow down to him; every nation will serve him.
12 Nítorí yóò gba àwọn aláìní nígbà tí ó bá ń ké, tálákà àti ẹni tí kò ní olùrànlọ́wọ́.
He will help the poor when they cry out to him, and help those who are suffering that have no one to support them.
13 Yóò káàánú àwọn aláìlera àti aláìní yóò pa aláìní mọ́ kúrò nínú ikú.
He has pity on the poor and needy—he saves their lives!
14 Yóò ra ọkàn wọn padà lọ́wọ́ ẹ̀tàn àti ipá nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn ṣọ̀wọ́n níwájú rẹ̀.
He rescues them from violence and oppression, for their lives mean so much to him.
15 Yóò sì pẹ́ ní ayé! A ó sì fún un ní wúrà Ṣeba. Àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì máa gbàdúrà fún un nígbà gbogbo kí a sì bùkún fún un lójoojúmọ́.
May he live long! May the gold from Sheba be given to him. May people always pray for him and bless him all day long.
16 Kí ìkúnwọ́ ọkà wà lórí ilẹ̀; ní orí òkè ni kí ó máa dàgbà kí èso rẹ̀ kí o gbilẹ̀ bí ti Lebanoni yóò máa gbá yìn bí i koríko ilẹ̀.
May there be plenty of grain in the land, even growing on mountain-tops. May the fruit on the trees sway like the trees of Lebanon. May the people in the city flourish like grass in a field.
17 Kí orúkọ rẹ̀ kí ó wà títí láé; orúkọ rẹ̀ yóò máa gbilẹ̀ níwọ̀n bí oòrùn yóò ti pẹ́ tó. Wọn ó sì máa bùkún fún ara wọn nípasẹ̀ rẹ. Gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ní yóò máa pè mí ní alábùkún fún.
May his fame live forever, may it last as long as the sun. May all nations be blessed through him, and may they praise him.
18 Olùbùkún ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ẹnìkan ṣoṣo tí ó ń ṣe ohun ìyanu.
Praise the Lord God, the God of Israel, who is the only one who can do such fantastic things!
19 Olùbùkún ni orúkọ rẹ̀ tí ó lógo títí láé; kí gbogbo ayé kún fún ògo rẹ̀.
Praise his wonderful nature forever! May the whole world be full of his glory! Amen and amen!
20 Èyí ni ìparí àdúrà Dafidi ọmọ Jese.
(This is the end of the psalms of David, son of Jesse.)
