Psalms 52
1 To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of God [abideth] continually.
Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoo bere a Edomni Doeg bɛka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Dawid akɔ Ahimelek fi” no. Ɔkɛse, adɛn nti na wohoahoa wo ho wɔ wo bɔne ho? Adɛn nti na wohoahoa wo ho da mu nyinaa, wo a woyɛ animguasede wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so?
2 Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit.
Wo tɛkrɛma bɔ ɔsɛe ho pɔw; ɛte sɛ oyiwan a ano yɛ nam yiye. Wo a wutwa nkontompo nko ara.
3 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
Wʼani gye bɔne ho sen papa, wopɛ atoro sen sɛ wobɛka nokware.
4 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
Wodɔ asɛm biara a ɛde ɔhaw ba, wo tɛkrɛma daadaafo!
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Ampa ara Onyankopɔn de ɔsɛe a enni awiei bɛbrɛ wo; ɔbɛtwe wo afi wo ntamadan mu na watetew wo mu; Ɔbɛtɔre wʼase wɔ ateasefo asase so.
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying, ]
Atreneefo behu eyi na wɔasuro; wɔbɛserew no na wɔaka se,
7 Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his avarice.
“Hwɛ, onipa no ni, nea wamfa Onyankopɔn anyɛ nʼabandennen na mmom ɔde ne ho too nʼahonya dodow so, na onyaa ahoɔden de sɛee afoforo no!”
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.
Nanso mete sɛ ngodua a ɛrenyin wɔ Onyankopɔn fi: mede me ho to Onyankopɔn dɔ a ɛnsa da no so daa nyinaa.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.
Meyi wo ayɛ daa wɔ nea woayɛ nti; wo din so na mʼani bɛda, efisɛ eye. Meyi wo ayɛ wɔ wʼahotefo anim. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde “mahalat” sanku nne na ɛto.
