Song into Russian

Ok, I'm going to throw this out and see if I get any replies, cause I am at my wits end. I want to translate the following song into Russian. I already know the ryhthm, I just need the words translated.

"Holy and Annointed One"

Jesus, Jesus,Holy and annointed one, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Risen and exalted one, Jesus

Your name is like honey on my lips,
Your spirit like water to my soul.
Your word is a lamp unto my feet,
Jesus, I love you, I love you.

you might have more success if you said you had written this song for the love of your life, and then you could just subsitute the name )))

святой и помазанный

Иисус, святой и помазанный
Иисус воскрешенный и возвышенный

Твое имя как мед на моих губах
твой дух как вода для души моей
твое слово как лампа на мои ноги
Ииссус я тебя люблю

and sorry this is a bad translation - maybe more inspiration will come at dawn :D

Thank you so much for the translation.

Ya, you're probably right, but then I would have been lying and I can't stand liars, its not my style. I'd rather put up with ridicule :D

Yes, I am a weirdo, if you call people who are like me that. Its just the way I am and I'm proud of it. Just don't get me started, cause I won't shut up, and then we would have problems, like being off topic :D :wink:

Again, thank you so much for the translation.

btw - I don't think you are a weirdo :D , at least you aren't a turncoat. I am worried that translation sucks though.

It is good, but the "lamp" part could be better. The canonical Russian translation of the full psalm is: "(118-105) Слово Твое -- светильник ноге моей и свет стезе моей." As the path is not mentioned in the song, that line could be translated thusly: "Слово Твое -- светильник ноге моей". But this is hardly good for a song, though. At least I cannot imagine how it can be sung.
