< Psalms 50 >

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Asaf dwom. Tweduampɔn, Onyankopɔn, Awurade no kasa, na ɔfrɛ asase nyinaa efi apuei kosi atɔe.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
Onyankopɔn hyerɛn fi Sion kurow a ne fɛ wie pɛyɛ.
3 Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, and round about Him it stormeth mightily.
Yɛn Nyankopɔn reba nanso ɔrenyɛ komm; ogya a ɛhyew nneɛma di nʼanim, ahum a ɛretu atwa ne ho ahyia.
4 He calleth to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
Ɔfrɛ ɔsorosoro ne asase, sɛ ɔrebu ne nkurɔfo atɛn;
5 'Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.'
Ɔka se, “Boaboa nnipa a wɔatew wɔn ho no ano ma me; wɔn a wɔnam afɔrebɔ so ne me yɛɛ apam no.”
6 And the heavens declare His righteousness; for God, He is judge. (Selah)
Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne trenee, na Onyankopɔn ankasa ne otemmufo.
7 'Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.
“Muntie, me nkurɔfo, na mɛkasa, medi adanse atia wo, Israel; Mene Onyankopɔn, wo Nyankopɔn no.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me.
Merenka mo anim wɔ mo afɔrebɔde anaa mo hyew afɔre a ɛwɔ mʼanim daa no ho.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
Anantwinini a wofi mo mfuw so anaa mpapo a wofi mo buw mu ho nhia me,
10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
efisɛ kwae mu aboa biara yɛ me de, anantwi a wɔwɔ nkoko mpempem so nso saa ara.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
Minim anomaa biara a ɔwɔ mmepɔw no so, na wuram abɔde nyinaa yɛ me de.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.
Sɛ ɔkɔm dee me a, anka merenka nkyerɛ mo; efisɛ, wiase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ me de.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Mewe anantwinini nam, na menom mpapo mogya ana?
14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High;
Momfa aseda afɔre mma Onyankopɔn, na munni bɔ a mohyɛɛ Ɔsorosoroni no so,
15 And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'
na momfrɛ me hiada; na megye mo na moahyɛ me anuonyam.”
16 But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, and that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth?
Nanso amumɔyɛfo de, Onyankopɔn bisa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na moka me mmara na mʼapam da mo ano?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.
Mukyi me nkyerɛkyerɛ, na motow me nsɛm gu mo akyi.
18 When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.
Sɛ muhu ɔkorɔmfo a mode mo ho bɔ no; na mo ne nguaman nso bɔ.
19 Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Mode mo ano yɛ bɔne, na mode mo tɛkrɛma boaboa nnaadaa ano.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
Mokasa tia mo nuabarima bere biara na mosopa mo ankasa na ba.
21 These things hast thou done, and should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes.
Moayɛ eyinom nyinaa; nanso manka hwee, enti mususuw sɛ mete sɛ mo. Nanso mɛka mo anim, na mede mo sobo asi mo anim.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
“Munnwen eyi ho, mo a mo werɛ fi Onyankopɔn, anyɛ saa a, mɛtetew mo mu nketenkete a obiara remmegye mo;
23 Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving honoureth Me; and to him that ordereth his way aright will I show the salvation of God.'
Nea ɔbɔ aseda afɔre no hyɛ me anuonyam, na osiesie kwan sɛnea mɛda Onyankopɔn nkwagye adi akyerɛ no.”
