Psalms 94
1 O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
Awurade, Onyankopɔn a wotɔ werɛ, Onyankopɔn a wotɔ werɛ, hyerɛn.
2 Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
Sɔre, Ao wo a woyɛ asase so ɔtemmufoɔ, tua ahantanfoɔ ka sɛdeɛ ɛfata wɔn.
3 Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Ao Awurade, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn, amumuyɛfoɔ nnye wɔn ani nkɔsi da bɛn?
4 They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
Wɔkasa ahantan so; ahohoahoa ahyɛ abɔnefoɔ nyinaa ma.
5 They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.
Ao Awurade, wɔdwerɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ; wɔhyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ so.
6 They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.
Wɔkunkumm akunafoɔ ne amanfrafoɔ; na wɔdi nwisiaa awu.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
Wɔka sɛ, “Awurade nhunu, Yakob Onyankopɔn ayi nʼani.”
8 Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?
Monhwɛ yie, mo agyimifoɔ a mowɔ nnipa no mu; nkwaseafoɔ, da bɛn na mobɛhunu nyansa?
9 Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Deɛ ɔbɔɔ aso no, ɔrente asɛm anaa? Deɛ ɔyɛɛ ani no, ɔrenhunu adeɛ anaa?
10 Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?
Deɛ ɔtenetene aman so no rentwe aso anaa? Deɛ ɔkyerɛkyerɛ onipa no nnim nyansa anaa?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
Awurade nim onipa nsusuiɛ; ɔnim sɛ ɛnkɔsi hwee.
12 Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,
Ao Awurade, nhyira ne onipa a wotenetene ne so, onipa a wokyerɛ no wo mmara no;
13 That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.
Woma wɔn ɔhome firi amanehunu nna mu, kɔsi sɛ wɔbɛtu amena ama amumuyɛfoɔ.
14 Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
Awurade rempo ne nkurɔfoɔ; na ɔrennya nʼagyapadeɛ hɔ da.
15 For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.
Atemmuo bɛgyina teneneeyɛ so bio, na wɔn a wɔn akoma mu teɛ nyinaa bɛdi so.
16 Who will rise vp with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquitie?
Hwan na ɔbɛsɔre atia amumuyɛfoɔ ama me? Hwan na ɔbɛsɔre atia abɔnefoɔ ama me?
17 If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
Sɛ Awurade ammoa me a, anka mekɔɔ owuo kommyɛ mu ntɛm so.
18 When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
Ɛberɛ a mekaa sɛ, “Menan rewatiri” no, Ao Awurade, wo dɔ no sɔɔ me mu.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.
Ɛberɛ a me dadwene dɔɔso no, wʼawerɛkyekye maa me kra abotɔyam.
20 Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
Ɔhene a porɔeɛ ahyɛ no ma no ne wo wɔ ayɔnkofa anaa? Wʼani gye ahennie a ɛde amanehunu ba ho anaa?
21 They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
Awudifoɔ bɔ mu tia ateneneefoɔ na wɔn a wɔdi bem no, wɔbu wɔn kumfɔ.
22 But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
Nanso Awurade yɛ mʼaban; na me Onyankopɔn ayɛ ɔbotan a ne mu na menya ahintaeɛ.
23 And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
Ɔbɛtua wɔn nnebɔne no so ka na wɔn amumuyɛ enti, wasɛe wɔn; Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe wɔn.
