Psalms 72
1 [By Solomon.] God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
Salomo dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntenenee ma ɔhene no, na fa wo tenenee ma ɔhene babarima.
2 He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
Ɔde tenenee bɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ atɛn, ɔbɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔrehunu amane no atɛntenenee.
3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
Mmepɔ no de yiedie bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkokoɔ no de tenenee bɛba.
4 He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufoɔ na woagye wɔn a wɔnni bie mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛ nhyɛsofoɔ.
5 They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
Owia ne ɔsrane da so wɔ hɔ yi wɔbɛsuro wo awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.
6 He will come down like rain on 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, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
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, from the River to the farthest parts of the earth.
Ɔbɛdi ɔhene afiri ɛpo akɔsi ɛpo afiri Asubɔnten Efrata akɔsi asase ano.
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
Ɛserɛ so mmusua bɛkoto nʼanim na nʼatamfoɔ adi mfuturo.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. 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 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkoto no amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
Na ɔbɛgye mmɔborɔfoɔ a wɔsu frɛ no, ne amanehunufoɔ a wɔnni ɔboafoɔ.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
Ɔbɛhunu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛ ne ahiafoɔ mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafoɔ nkwa.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
Ɔbɛgye wɔn afiri nhyɛsoɔ ne akakabensɛm mu, ɛfiri sɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
15 And he shall live, and the gold of Sheba shall be given to him. Men shall pray for him continually. He shall bless him all day long.
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 abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
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 endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛre sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa ne so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
18 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
Nhyira nka Awurade Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ.
19 Blessed be his glorious name forever. 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 This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
Yisai ba Dawid mpaeɛbɔ no awieeɛ nie.
