Psalms 84
1 For the music director. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. On the gittith. How wonderful is the place where you live, Lord Almighty!
Koramma dwom. Awurade Asafo, wʼatenae hɔ yɛ ahomeka!
2 I long, I ache, to be in the courts of the Lord. My mind and my body sing for joy to the living God.
Me kra pere, mpo ɛtɔ beraw, sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Awurade adiwo; me koma ne me honam teɛ mu frɛ Onyankopɔn teasefo.
3 Even a sparrow finds a home there, and a swallow builds a nest for herself where she can raise her chicks near to your altars, Lord Almighty, my king and my God.
Mpo akasanoma anya ofi, na asomfena nso anwen ne berebuw, faako a obesow ne mma wɔ beae bi a ɛbɛn wʼafɔremuka, Awurade Asafo, me Hene ne me Nyankopɔn.
4 How happy are those who live in your house—they are always praising you! (Selah)
Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔte wo fi; na wɔkamfo wo din daa.
5 How happy are those whose strength is in you, those who are determined to make a pilgrimage.
Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔwɔ wo mu ahoɔden, na wɔde wɔn koma fi akwantu ase kɔhwehwɛ wo.
6 As they walk through the Valley of Tears it becomes a spring of water; autumn rains cover it with pools.
Sɛ wɔfa Baka Bon no mu a wɔma hɔ yɛ nsuwansuwa; asusow bere nsu so taataa hɔ.
7 They go from strength to strength, and each one will appear before God in Jerusalem.
Wɔkɔ no ahoɔden so bere nyinaa, kosi sɛ wɔn mu biara bepue Onyankopɔn anim wɔ Sion.
8 Lord God Almighty, please hear my prayer; please listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)
Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn, tie me mpaebɔ; Yakob Nyankopɔn, yɛ aso ma me.
9 Please God, look at our defender, look at the face of your anointed one.
Ao, Onyankopɔn, hwɛ yɛn nkatabo; fa ahummɔbɔ hwɛ nea woasra no ngo no.
10 One day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else. I'd rather stand as a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live comfortably in the homes of the wicked.
Wʼadiwo hɔ da koro tena ye sen nnafua apem wɔ baabi foforo; mepɛ sɛ mɛyɛ ɔponanohwɛfo wɔ Onyankopɔn fi sen sɛ mɛtena amumɔyɛfo ntamadan mu.
11 For the Lord God is our sun and shield, and he gives us grace and honor. The Lord doesn't hold back anything good from those who do right.
Efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn yɛ owia ne kyɛm; Awurade hu mmɔbɔ na ɔhyɛ anuonyam; ɔmmfa ade pa biara nkame wɔn a wɔteɛ.
12 Lord Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you.
Asafo Awurade, nhyira nka onipa a ɔde ne ho to wo so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
