Psalms 72

Ge'ez original · 20 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Septuagint, Vulgate)

⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 72 here = Ps 71 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.

ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

72:1

በአንተ ፡ ሰሎሞን ። እግዚኦ ፡ ኵነኔከ ፡ ሀቦ ፡ ለንጉሥ ፤ ወጽድቅከኒ ፡ ለወልደ ፡ ንጉሥ ።

God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.

上帝啊，求你將判斷的權柄賜給王，將公義賜給王的兒子。

72:2

ከመ ፡ ይኰንኖሙ ፡ ለሕዝብከ ፡ በጽድቅ ፤ ወለነዳያኒከ ፡ በፍትሕ ።

He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.

他要按公義審判你的民，按公平審判你的困苦人。

72:3

ይትወከፉ ፡ አድባር ፡ ወአውግር ፡ ሰላመ ፡ ሕዝብከ ።

The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.

大山小山都要因公義使民得享平安。

72:4

ኰንን ፡ በጽድቅ ፡ ነዳያነ ፡ ሕዝብከ ፡ ወአድኅኖሙ ፡ ለደቂቀ ፡ ምስኪናኒከ ፤ ወአኅስሮ ፡ ለዕቡይ ።

He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

他必為民中的困苦人伸冤，拯救窮乏之輩，壓碎那欺壓人的。

72:5

ወይጽናሕ ፡ ምስለ ፡ ፀሐይ ፤ እምቅድመ ፡ ወርኅ ፡ ለትውልደ ፡ ትውልድ ።

They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

太陽還存，月亮還在，人要敬畏你，直到萬代！

72:6

ወይወርድ ፡ ከመ ፡ ጠል ፡ ውስተ ፡ ፀምር ፤ ወከመ ፡ ነጠብጣብ ፡ ዘያንጠበጥብ ፡ ዲበ ፡ ምድር ።

He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

他必降臨，像雨降在已割的草地上，如甘霖滋潤田地。

72:7

ወይሠርጽ ፡ ጽድቅ ፡ በመዋዕሊሁ ፤ ወብዙኅ ፡ ሰላመ ፡ እስከ ፡ ይኀልፍ ፡ ወርኅ ።

In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

在他的日子，義人要發旺，大有平安，好像月亮長存。

72:8

ወይኴንን ፡ እምባሕር ፡ እስከ ፡ ባሕር ፤ ወእምአፍላግ ፡ እስከ ፡ አጽናፈ ፡ ዓለም ።

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.

他要執掌權柄，從這海直到那海，從大河直到地極。

72:9

ይገንዩ ፡ ቅድሜሁ ፡ ኢትዮጵያ ፤ ወጸላእቲሁ ፡ ሐመደ ፡ ይቀምሑ ።

Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.

住在曠野的，必在他面前下拜；他的仇敵必要舔土。
