Psalms 60
1 For the music director. According to “Lily of the Testimony.” A psalm (miktam) of David, useful for teaching, about the time he fought against Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and then Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You, God, have rejected us! You have broken us; you have been angry with us; but now you have to welcome us back!
Dawid “Miktam” dwom. Wɔde yɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ. Ɔtoo no bere a ɔne Aram Naharanfo ne Aram Zobafo koe na Yoab san kokum Edomfo mpem dumien wɔ Nkyene Bon mu no. Onyankopɔn, woapo yɛn, woabɔ yɛn agu; wo bo afuw yɛn, nanso gye yɛn bio!
2 You have sent earthquakes on our land and split it apart. Now heal the cracks, for the land is still having tremors.
Woawosow asase no na woapae mu; toatoa nea abubu no, efisɛ ɛrehinhim.
3 You have been very hard on your people; you gave us wine that made us stagger around.
Woama wo nkurɔfo ahu mmere bɔne; woama yɛn nsa a ɛma yɛtɔ ntintan.
4 But you have given those who respect you the banner of truth to unfurl and rally around. (Selah)
Nanso wɔn a wosuro wo de, woama wɔn frankaa so sɛ wontu ntia agyan no.
5 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
Gye yɛn nkwa na fa wo nsa nifa boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
6 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
Onyankopɔn akasa afi ne kronkronbea se, “Nkonim mu, mɛkyɛ Sekem mu, na masusuw Sukot bon no.
7 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
Gilead yɛ me de; Manase nso saa ara; Efraim yɛ me dade kyɛw, Yuda yɛ mʼahempema.
8 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
Moab yɛ me guasɛn, Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu; na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
Hena na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hena na obedi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
10 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you lead our armies?
Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?
11 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no, na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.
12 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yebedi nkonim, na obetiatia yɛn atamfo so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde sanku na ɛto.
