Psalms 45
1 In my inner being I am stirred by a beautiful message which will be sung to the king. The words of this message will be written with a pen by me, a skilled writer.
Wɔde “Sukooko” sankuo dwomtobea na ɛtoeɛ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Kora mma dwom. Ayeforɔhyia dwom. Botaeɛ bi a ɛdi mu akanyane mʼakoma ɛberɛ a merebɔ ɔhene mmrane no; me tɛkrɛma yɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ kunini bi twerɛdua.
2 [O King], you are the most handsome man in the world, and you always speak [MTY] eloquently, because God has always blessed you.
Wodi mu wɔ mmarima mu na wɔde adom bi asra wʼano, ɛsiane sɛ Onyankopɔn ahyira wo afebɔɔ no enti.
3 You who are a mighty warrior, put on your sword! You are glorious and majestic.
Fa wʼakofena bɔ wo nkyɛn mu, Ao Otumfoɔ; fa animuonyam ne kɛseyɛ fira.
4 Ride on like a great chief to defend the truth that you speak and the fair decisions that you make! Because you are strong [MTY], you will do awesome deeds.
Fa wo kɛseyɛ mu kɔ wʼanim nkonimdie so wɔ nokorɛ, ahobrɛaseɛ ne tenenee mu; ma wo nsa nifa nna wo nnwuma a ɛyɛ nwanwa no adi.
5 Your arrows are sharp, and they pierce the hearts of your enemies. Soldiers of many nations will fall dead at your feet.
Ma wo bɛmma namnam no nhwere ɔhene atamfoɔ akoma mu; na ma amanaman nhwe wo nan ase.
6 The kingdom [MTY] that God will give to you will remain forever. You rule [MTY] people justly.
Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼahennwa no bɛtena hɔ daa daa; tenenee ahempoma bɛyɛ wʼahennie no ahempoma.
7 You love right actions, and you hate evil actions. Therefore God, your God, has chosen [MTY] you [to be king] and caused you to be happier [MET] than any other king.
Wodɔ tenenee na wokyiri bɔne. Ɛno enti Onyankopɔn, wo Onyankopɔn de wo asi wo mfɛfoɔ so, na ɔde anigyeɛ ngo asra wo.
8 The perfume of various spices is on your robes. [People] (entertain you/make you happy) in ivory palaces by playing stringed instruments.
Kurobo, pɛperɛ ne bɛwewonua hwa agye wo batakari mu nyinaa; sankuo so nnwom a ɛfiri ahemfie a wɔde asonse asiesie ho mu ma wʼani gye.
9 Among the women who stay near you [EUP] stay are daughters of [other] kings. And at your right hand stands [your bride], the queen, wearing beautiful ornaments of gold that comes from Ophir.
Ahemfo mmammaa ka wo mmaa atitire ho; wo nsa nifa so na ayeforɔ dehyeɛ a ɔhyɛ Ofir sikakɔkɔɔ gyina.
10 [Now I will say something] to your bride: Listen to me carefully [DOU]! Forget the people who live in your home country, forget your relatives!
Ao ɔbabaa tie, dwene ho na yɛ ɔsetie; ma wo werɛ mfiri wo nkurɔfoɔ ne wo agya fie.
11 Because you are [very], the king will desire [to sleep with] [EUP] you. He is your master, so you must obey him.
Wʼahoɔfɛ asɔ ɔhene no ani; di no nni, ɛfiri sɛ ɔno ne wo wura.
12 The people from Tyre [city] will bring gifts to you; their rich people will try to persuade you to do favors for them.
Tiro Babaa de ayɛyɛdeɛ bɛba; mmarima adefoɔ bɛdɛfɛdɛfɛ wo.
13 [O king], your bride will be entering the palace wearing beautiful robes made from gold thread.
Ɔhene babaa a ɔwɔ ne piam no yɛ onimuonyamfoɔ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ abobɔ nʼatadeɛ yuu mu.
14 While she is wearing a gown that has many colors, her companions will lead her to you. She will have many other young women who accompany her.
Ɔhyɛ ntadeɛ a wɔadi mu adwinneɛ na wɔde no kɔma ɔhene; ne mfɛfoɔ mmaabunu di nʼakyi na wɔde wɔn nyinaa brɛ wo.
15 They will be very joyful [DOU] as they are led along to enter your palace.
Wɔde ahosɛpɛ ne anigyeɛ kɔ mu; wɔhyɛne ɔhempɔn no ahemfie.
16 Some day, your sons and your grandsons will become kings, just like your ancestors were. You will enable them to become rulers in many countries [HYP].
Wo mmammarima bɛsi wʼagyanom ananmu wobɛyɛ wɔn mmapɔmma wɔ asase no so nyinaa.
17 And as for me, I will enable people in every generation to remember the great things that you [MTY] have done, and people will praise you forever.
Mɛma wɔakae wo wɔ awontoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu; ɛno enti amanaman bɛkamfo wo daa nyinaa.
