Psalms 50

1 A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Asaf dwom. Tweaduampɔn, Onyankopɔn, Awurade no kasa, na ɔfrɛ asase nyinaa ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ.

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

Onyankopɔn hran firi Sion kuro a ne fɛ wie pɛ yɛ.

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Yɛn Onyankopɔn reba nanso ɔrenyɛ komm; ogya a ɛhye nneɛma di nʼanim, ahum a ɛretu atwa ne ho ahyia.

4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

Ɔfrɛ ɔsorosoro ne asase, sɛ ɔrebu ne nkurɔfoɔ atɛn;

5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

Ɔka sɛ, “Boaboa nnipa a wɔate wɔn ho no ano ma me, wɔn a wɔnam afɔrebɔdeɛ so ne me yɛɛ apam no.”

6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God [is] judge himself. (Selah)

Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne tenenee, na Onyankopɔn ankasa ne ɔtemmufoɔ.

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.

“Montie, me nkurɔfoɔ na mɛkasa, mɛdi adanseɛ atia wo, Ao Israel; Mene Onyankopɔn, wo Onyankopɔn no.

8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, [to have been] continually before me.

Merenka mo anim wɔ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ anaa mo hyeɛ afɔdeɛ 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 wɔfiri mo mfuo so anaa mpapo a wɔfiri mo buo mu ho nhia me,

10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills.

ɛfiri sɛ kwaeɛ mu aboa biara yɛ me dea, anantwie a wɔwɔ nkokoɔ mpempem so nso saa ara.

11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine.

Menim anomaa biara a ɔwɔ mmepɔ no so, na wiram abɔdeɛ nyinaa yɛ me dea.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is] mine, and the fulness thereof.

Sɛ ɛkɔm dee me a, anka merenka nkyerɛ mo; ɛfiri sɛ, ewiase ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ me dea.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

Mewe anantwinini nam, na menom mpapo mogya anaa?

14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

Momfa aseda afɔdeɛ mma Onyankopɔn, na monni bɔhyɛ a mohyɛɛ Ɔsorosoroni no so,

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

na momfrɛ me da hiada; na mɛgye mo na moahyɛ me animuonyam.”

16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

Nanso, amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, Onyankopɔn bisa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moka me mmara ho asɛm na mʼapam da mo ano?

17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

Mokyiri me nkyerɛkyerɛ na moto me nsɛm gu mo akyi.

18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

Sɛ mohunu ɔkorɔmfoɔ a, mode mo ho bɔ no; na mo ne awaresɛefoɔ nso bɔ.

19 Thou givest thy mouth to 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 ɛberɛ biara na mosopa mo ankasa maame ba.

21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.

Moayɛ yeinom nyinaa; nanso manka hwee, enti mosusu sɛ mete sɛ mo. Nanso mɛka mo anim na mede mo soboɔ asi mo anim.

22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.

“Monnwene yei ho, mo a mo werɛ firi Onyankopɔn, anyɛ saa a, mɛtete mo mu nketenkete a obiara mmɛgye mo;

23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth [his] conversation [aright] will I shew the salvation of God.

Deɛ ɔbɔ aseda afɔdeɛ no hyɛ me animuonyam, na ɔsiesie ɛkwan sɛdeɛ mɛda Onyankopɔn nkwagyeɛ adi akyerɛ no.” Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
