Psalms 72
1 Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.
Salomo dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntrenee dom ɔhene no, na fa wo trenee ma ɔhene babarima.
2 May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.
Ɔde trenee bebu wo nkurɔfo atɛn, obebu wo nkurɔfo a wɔrehu amane no atɛntrenee.
3 May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.
Mmepɔw no de yiyedi bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkoko no de trenee bɛba.
4 May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufo na wagye wɔn a wonni bi mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛw nhyɛsofo.
5 May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.
Owia ne ɔsram da so wɔ hɔ yi wobesuro wo awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
6 May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.
Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osu a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔw so so, te sɛ obosu a egugu asase so.
7 May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.
Atreneefo benyin frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne bere so; yiyedi bebu so akosi da a ɔsram nni hɔ bio.
8 May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
Obedi hene afi po akosi po, afi Asubɔnten Efrata akosi asase ano.
9 May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.
Sare so mmusua bɛkotow nʼanim na nʼatamfo adi mfutuma.
10 May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
Tarsis ne mpoano ahemfo a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri de sonkahiri bɛbrɛ no; Saba ne Seba ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ no.
11 May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkotow no, amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.
Na obegye mmɔborɔfo a wosu frɛ no, ne amanehunufo a wonni ɔboafo.
13 He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.
Obehu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛw ne ahiafo mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafo nkwa.
14 He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.
Obegye wɔn afi nhyɛso ne akakabensɛm ase, efisɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
15 Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.
Ɔhene nkwa so! ma wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ mfi Seba mmrɛ no. Ma nnipa mmɔ mpae mma no na wonhyira no da mu nyinaa.
16 May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.
Aburow mmu so wɔ asase no so nyinaa; nnuan mmu so wɔ nkoko so, ma nʼaba mmɔ sɛ Lebanon; na enyin sɛ mfuw so sare.
17 May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.
Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛ sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa no so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
Nhyira nka Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwonwade.
19 And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
Nhyira nka ne din a anuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanuonyam nhyɛ wiase nyinaa ma.
20 Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
Yisai ba Dawid mpaebɔ no awiei ni.
