Psalms 52
1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When Doeg the Edomite went, and told Saul; and said to him, —David, hath entered the house of Ahimelech. Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, [lasteth] all the day.
Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoeɛ ɛberɛ a Edomni Doeg bɛka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Dawid akɔ Ahimelek fie” no. Ɔkɛseɛ, adɛn enti na wohoahoa wo ho wɔ wo bɔne ho? Adɛn enti na wohoahoa wo ho da mu nyinaa, wo a woyɛ animguasedeɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so?
2 Engulfing ruin, doth thy tongue devise, Like a whetted razor, working deceit;
Wo tɛkrɛma bɔ ɔsɛeɛ ho pɔ; ɛte sɛ yiwan a ano yɛ tahwetahwe. Wo a wotwa nkontompo nko ara.
3 Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Wʼani gye bɔne ho sene papa, wopɛ atorɔ sene sɛ wobɛka nokorɛ.
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
Wodɔ asɛm biara a ɛde ɔhaw ba, Ao wo tɛkrɛma daadaafoɔ!
5 GOD also, will break thee down utterly, He will snatch thee up and tear thee away tentless, And uproot thee, out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn de ɔsɛeɛ a ɛnni awieeɛ bɛbrɛ wo; ɔbɛtwe wo afiri wo ntomadan mu na watete wo mu; Ɔbɛtɔre wʼase wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so.
6 The righteous shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:
Ateneneefoɔ bɛhunu yei na wɔasuro; wɔbɛsere no na wɔaka sɛ,
7 Lo! the man who made not God his refuge, —But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!
“Hwɛ, onipa no nie deɛ wamfa Onyankopɔn anyɛ nʼabandenden na mmom ɔde ne ho too nʼahonya dodoɔ so na ɔnyaa ahoɔden de sɛee afoforɔ no!”
8 But, I, am like a flourishing olive-tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age-abiding and beyond.
Nanso, mete sɛ ngo dua a ɛrenyini wɔ Onyankopɔn fie: mede me ho to Onyankopɔn dɔ a ɛnsa da no so daa nyinaa.
9 I will praise thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, —And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.
Mɛyi wo ayɛ daa wɔ deɛ woayɛ nti; wo din so na mʼani bɛda, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ. Mɛyi wo ayɛ wɔ wʼahotefoɔ anim. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde “mahalat” sankuo nne na ɛto.
