Psalms 72
1 Solomon’s. O God! thy justice, give, unto the king, And thy righteousness, unto the son of a king;
Salomo dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntrenee dom ɔhene no, na fa wo trenee ma ɔhene babarima.
2 May he judge, Thy people with righteousness; And thine oppressed ones with justice;
Ɔde trenee bebu wo nkurɔfo atɛn, obebu wo nkurɔfo a wɔrehu amane no atɛntrenee.
3 May the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills [be laden] with righteousness;
Mmepɔw no de yiyedi bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkoko no de trenee bɛba.
4 May he, Vindicate the oppressed of the people, Bring deliverance to the children of the needy, and, Crush the oppressor.
Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufo na wagye wɔn a wonni bi mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛw nhyɛsofo.
5 Let men revere thee, With the sun, And in presence of the moon, Unto the remotest generation.
Owia ne ɔsram da so wɔ hɔ yi wobesuro wo awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
6 Let him come down, Like rain on fields to be mown, Like myriad drops on land to be reaped.
Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osu a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔw so so, te sɛ obosu a egugu asase so.
7 May righteousness, in his days, blossom forth, And abundance of peace, till there be no moon.
Atreneefo benyin frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne bere so; yiyedi bebu so akosi da a ɔsram nni hɔ bio.
8 So let him have dominion, From sea to sea, And from the River ["Euphrates"] unto the ends of the earth;
Obedi hene afi po akosi po, afi Asubɔnten Efrata akosi asase ano.
9 Before him, let the men of the desert kneel, But, as for his foes, the dust, let them lick;
Sare so mmusua bɛkotow nʼanim na nʼatamfo adi mfutuma.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the Coastlands, A gift, let them render, The kings of Sheba and Seba, A present, let them bring;
Tarsis ne mpoano ahemfo a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri de sonkahiri bɛbrɛ no; Saba ne Seba ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ no.
11 Yea let all kings, bow down unto him, Let, all nations, serve him;
Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkotow no, amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
12 Because he Rescueth, The needy from the rich, The oppressed, who hath no helper;
Na obegye mmɔborɔfo a wosu frɛ no, ne amanehunufo a wonni ɔboafo.
13 He Pitieth the weak and the needy, And, the lives of the needy, he Saveth:
Obehu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛw ne ahiafo mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafo nkwa.
14 From extortion, and, violence, he Redeemeth their life, And precious is their blood in his sight.
Obegye wɔn afi nhyɛso ne akakabensɛm ase, efisɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
15 Let him live, then! And be there given unto him of the gold of Sheba, —Let prayer also be offered for him continually, All the day, let him be blessed.
Ɔhene nkwa so! ma wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ mfi Seba mmrɛ no. Ma nnipa mmɔ mpae mma no na wonhyira no da mu nyinaa.
16 May there be an abundance of corn in the earth, in the top of the mountains, —Let the fruit thereof, wave like Lebanon, And they of the city bloom like the fresh shoots of the earth.
Aburow mmu so wɔ asase no so nyinaa; nnuan mmu so wɔ nkoko so, ma nʼaba mmɔ sɛ Lebanon; na enyin sɛ mfuw so sare.
17 May his Name be age-abiding, In the presence of the sun, let his Name flourish, —And may all the families of the ground bless themselves in him, All nations, pronounce him happy!
Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛ sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa no so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
18 Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel, —Who doeth wondrous things by himself alone;
Nhyira nka Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwonwade.
19 And blessed be his glorious Name, unto times age-abiding, —And filled with his glory be all the earth, Amen and Amen!
Nhyira nka ne din a anuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanuonyam nhyɛ wiase nyinaa ma.
20 Ended are the prayers of David, son of Jesse.
Yisai ba Dawid mpaebɔ no awiei ni.
