Psalms 94
1 YHWH, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
Awurade, Onyankopɔn a wotɔ werɛ, Onyankopɔn a wotɔ werɛ, hyerɛn.
2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
Sɔre, Ao wo a woyɛ asase so ɔtemmufoɔ, tua ahantanfoɔ ka sɛdeɛ ɛfata wɔn.
3 YHWH, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
Ao Awurade, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn, amumuyɛfoɔ nnye wɔn ani nkɔsi da bɛn?
4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
Wɔkasa ahantan so; ahohoahoa ahyɛ abɔnefoɔ nyinaa ma.
5 They break your people in pieces, YHWH, and afflict your heritage.
Ao Awurade, wɔdwerɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ; wɔhyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ so.
6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
Wɔkunkumm akunafoɔ ne amanfrafoɔ; na wɔdi nwisiaa awu.
7 They say, "JAH will not see, neither will Jacob's God consider."
Wɔka sɛ, “Awurade nhunu, Yakob Onyankopɔn ayi nʼani.”
8 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
Monhwɛ yie, mo agyimifoɔ a mowɔ nnipa no mu; nkwaseafoɔ, da bɛn na mobɛhunu nyansa?
9 He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see?
Deɛ ɔbɔɔ aso no, ɔrente asɛm anaa? Deɛ ɔyɛɛ ani no, ɔrenhunu adeɛ anaa?
10 He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish? He who teaches man knows.
Deɛ ɔtenetene aman so no rentwe aso anaa? Deɛ ɔkyerɛkyerɛ onipa no nnim nyansa anaa?
11 YHWH knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
Awurade nim onipa nsusuiɛ; ɔnim sɛ ɛnkɔsi hwee.
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, JAH, and teach out of your Law;
Ao Awurade, nhyira ne onipa a wotenetene ne so, onipa a wokyerɛ no wo mmara no;
13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
Woma wɔn ɔhome firi amanehunu nna mu, kɔsi sɛ wɔbɛtu amena ama amumuyɛfoɔ.
14 For YHWH won't reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
Awurade rempo ne nkurɔfoɔ; na ɔrennya nʼagyapadeɛ hɔ da.
15 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
Atemmuo bɛgyina teneneeyɛ so bio, na wɔn a wɔn akoma mu teɛ nyinaa bɛdi so.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
Hwan na ɔbɛsɔre atia amumuyɛfoɔ ama me? Hwan na ɔbɛsɔre atia abɔnefoɔ ama me?
17 Unless YHWH had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
Sɛ Awurade ammoa me a, anka mekɔɔ owuo kommyɛ mu ntɛm so.
18 When I said, "My foot is slipping." Your loving kindness, YHWH, held me up.
Ɛberɛ a mekaa sɛ, “Menan rewatiri” no, Ao Awurade, wo dɔ no sɔɔ me mu.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
Ɛberɛ a me dadwene dɔɔso no, wʼawerɛkyekye maa me kra abotɔyam.
20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
Ɔhene a porɔeɛ ahyɛ no ma no ne wo wɔ ayɔnkofa anaa? Wʼani gye ahennie a ɛde amanehunu ba ho anaa?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
Awudifoɔ bɔ mu tia ateneneefoɔ na wɔn a wɔdi bem no, wɔbu wɔn kumfɔ.
22 But YHWH has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
Nanso Awurade yɛ mʼaban; na me Onyankopɔn ayɛ ɔbotan a ne mu na menya ahintaeɛ.
23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. YHWH, our God, will cut them off.
Ɔbɛtua wɔn nnebɔne no so ka na wɔn amumuyɛ enti, wasɛe wɔn; Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe wɔn.
