< Psalms 45 >

1 To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; — a song of the Beloved. My heart is welling forth [with] a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
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.
2 Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
Èdze ɖeka wu ŋutsuwo katã, wotsɔ amenuveve si ami na wò nuyi, elabena Mawu yra wò tegbee.
3 Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O mighty one, [in] thy majesty and thy splendour;
O! Kalẽtɔ, tsɔ wò yi ta ɖe ali, eye nàtsɔ wò atsyɔ̃ kple gãnyenye ata.
4 And [in] thy splendour ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
Do sɔ dziɖuɖutɔe le wò fianyenye me. Le nyateƒe, ɖokuibɔbɔ kple dzɔdzɔenyenye me, na wò nuɖusi naɖe wò nuwɔwɔ dziŋɔwo afia.
5 Thine arrows are sharp — peoples fall under thee — in the heart of the king's enemies.
Na wò aŋutrɔ ɖaɖɛwo naŋɔ fia la ƒe futɔwo ƒe dzi, eye na dukɔwo nadze anyi ɖe wò afɔ nu.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom:
O! Mawu, wò fiazikpui ali ke tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, wò fiaɖuƒe la ƒe tsiamiti anye nuteƒewɔwɔ ƒe atikplɔ.
7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
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.
8 Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
Kotoklobo, lifi kple atike ʋeʋĩ le ya ɖem le wò awuwo me. Kasaŋkuwo na nèle aseye tsom le wò nyiɖufiasawo me.
9 Kings' daughters are among thine honourable women; upon thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
Fiavinyɔnuwo le wò nyɔnu bubumewo dome, eye fiasrɔ̃ si do Ofir Sikanuwo la nɔ wò nuɖusime.
10 Hearken, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own people and thy father's house:
O! Vinyɔnu, ɖo to, nàbu eŋu, eye nàƒu to anyi. Ŋlɔ wò dukɔ kple fofowò ƒe aƒe la be.
11 And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.
Wò tugbedzedze wɔ dɔ ɖe fia la dzi ŋutɔ, eya ta de bubu eŋu, elabena eyae nye wò aƒetɔ.
12 And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court thy favour.
Tiro vinyɔnu atsɔ nunana vɛ, eye ŋutsu kesinɔtɔwo ava bia amenuveve tso gbɔwò.
13 All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold:
Fiavinyɔnu la nye keklẽ sɔŋ le eƒe xɔ me; eye wotsɔ sika lé ɖe eƒe awu legbe ƒe teƒeteƒewo keŋ.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto thee:
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.
15 With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king's palace.
Wokplɔ wo ge ɖe eme le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple aseyetsotso me, ale woge ɖe fiasã la me.
16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons; princes shalt thou make them in all the earth.
Mía viŋutsuwo axɔ ɖe mía fofowo teƒe, eye míawɔ wo fiaviwo le anyigba la katã dzi.
17 I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
Mana woaɖo ŋku dziwò le dzidzimewo katã me, eya ta dukɔwo akafu wò tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
