Psalms 50

1 A Melody of Asaph. El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in 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 shone forth.

Onyankopɔn hyerɛn fi Sion kurow a ne fɛ wie pɛyɛ.

3 Let our God come, and let him not keep silence! A fire—before him, shall devour, And, around him, hath it become exceeding tempestuous:

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

4 He calleth, Unto the heavens above, And unto the earth, That he may judge his people.

Ɔfrɛ ɔsorosoro ne asase, sɛ ɔrebu ne nkurɔfo atɛn;

5 Gather yourselves unto me—ye my men of lovingkindness, Who have solemnised my covenant over sacrifice.

Ɔka se, “Boaboa nnipa a wɔatew wɔn ho no ano ma me; wɔn a wɔnam afɔrebɔ so ne me yɛɛ apam no.”

6 Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to 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 adjure thee, God, thine own God, I am: —

“Muntie, me nkurɔfo, na mɛkasa, medi adanse atia wo, Israel; Mene Onyankopɔn, wo Nyankopɔn no.

8 Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually:

Merenka mo anim wɔ mo afɔrebɔde anaa mo hyew afɔre a ɛwɔ mʼanim daa no ho.

9 I will not take out of thy house—a bullock, Nor out of thy folds—he-goats;

Anantwinini a wofi mo mfuw so anaa mpapo a wofi mo buw mu ho nhia me,

10 For, mine, is every wild-beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands;

efisɛ kwae mu aboa biara yɛ me de, anantwi a wɔwɔ nkoko mpempem so nso saa ara.

11 I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me:

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, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.

Sɛ ɔkɔm dee me a, anka merenka nkyerɛ mo; efisɛ, wiase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ me de.

13 Will I eat the flesh of mighty oxen? Or, the blood of he-goats, will I drink?

Mewe anantwinini nam, na menom mpapo mogya ana?

14 Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows;

Momfa aseda afɔre mma Onyankopɔn, na munni bɔ a mohyɛɛ Ɔsorosoroni no so,

15 Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify me.

na momfrɛ me hiada; na megye mo na moahyɛ me anuonyam.”

16 But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth?

Nanso amumɔyɛfo de, Onyankopɔn bisa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na moka me mmara na mʼapam da mo ano?

17 Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;

Mukyi me nkyerɛkyerɛ, na motow me nsɛm gu mo akyi.

18 If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him, —And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;

Sɛ muhu ɔkorɔmfo a mode mo ho bɔ no; na mo ne nguaman nso bɔ.

19 Thy mouth, hast thou thrust into wickedness, And, thy tongue, kept weaving deceit;

Mode mo ano yɛ bɔne, na mode mo tɛkrɛma boaboa nnaadaa ano.

20 Thou wouldst sit down—Against thine own brother, wouldst thou speak, Against thine own mother’s son, wouldst thou expose a fault: —

Mokasa tia mo nuabarima bere biara na mosopa mo ankasa na ba.

21 These things, hast thou done, and I have kept silence, Thou thoughtest that I should really be like thyself, I will convict thee, yea I will set [thine offences] in order 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 Understand this, I pray you, ye forgetters of 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 He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me, —And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.

Nea ɔbɔ aseda afɔre no hyɛ me anuonyam, na osiesie kwan sɛnea mɛda Onyankopɔn nkwagye adi akyerɛ no.”
