Psalms 72
1 [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
Salomo dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntenenee ma ɔhene no, na fa wo tenenee ma ɔhene babarima.
2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
Ɔde tenenee bɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ atɛn, ɔbɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔrehunu amane no atɛntenenee.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
Mmepɔ no de yiedie bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkokoɔ no de tenenee bɛba.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufoɔ na woagye wɔn a wɔnni bie mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛ nhyɛsofoɔ.
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
Owia ne ɔsrane da so wɔ hɔ yi wɔbɛsuro wo awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [that] water the earth.
Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osuo a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔ soɔ so, te sɛ obosuo a ɛgugu asase so.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
Teneneefoɔ bɛnyini frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne berɛ so; yiedie bɛbu so kɔsi da a ɔsrane nni hɔ bio.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
Ɔbɛdi ɔhene afiri ɛpo akɔsi ɛpo afiri Asubɔnten Efrata akɔsi asase ano.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
Ɛserɛ so mmusua bɛkoto nʼanim na nʼatamfoɔ adi mfuturo.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Tarsis ne mpoano ahemfo a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri de apeatoɔ bɛbrɛ no; Saba ne Seba ahemfo de ayɛyɛdeɛ bɛbrɛ no.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkoto no amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper.
Na ɔbɛgye mmɔborɔfoɔ a wɔsu frɛ no, ne amanehunufoɔ a wɔnni ɔboafoɔ.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
Ɔbɛhunu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛ ne ahiafoɔ mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafoɔ nkwa.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
Ɔbɛgye wɔn afiri nhyɛsoɔ ne akakabensɛm mu, ɛfiri sɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised.
Ɔhene nkwa so! Ma wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ mfiri Seba mmrɛ no. Ma nnipa mmɔ mpaeɛ mma no na wɔnhyira no da mu nyinaa.
16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
Aburoo mmu so wɔ asase no so nyinaa; nnuane mmu so wɔ nkokoɔ so, ma nʼaba mmɔ sɛ Lebanon; na ɛnyini sɛ mfuo so serɛ.
17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛre sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa ne so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
18 Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
Nhyira nka Awurade Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ.
19 And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.
Nhyira nka ne din a animuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanimuonyam nhyɛ ewiase nyinaa ma.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Yisai ba Dawid mpaeɛbɔ no awieeɛ nie.
