Psalms 73
1 A psalm of Asaph surely [is] good to Israel God to [people] pure of heart.
Asaf dwom. Ampa ara Onyankopɔn yɛ ma Israel, ɔyɛ ma wɔn a wɔn akoma mu teɛ.
2 And I like a little (they had turned aside *Q(K)*) feet my like nothing (they had been poured out *Q(K)*) steps my.
Nanso me deɛ, anka me nan reyɛ awatiri; anka merehwere me nnyinasoɔ,
3 For I was jealous of the boasters [the] well-being of wicked [people] I saw.
ɛfiri sɛ, mʼani beree ahantanfoɔ ɛberɛ a mehunuu amumuyɛfoɔ yiedie no.
4 That there not [are] pangs to death their and [is] fat body their.
Wɔnhunuu ahokyere da; na wɔwɔ ahoɔden ne apɔmuden.
5 [are] in [the] trouble of Humankind not they and with humankind not they are stricken.
Dadwene a ɛtaa ba nnipa soɔ biara nna wɔn so; ɔdasani haw biara nna wɔn so.
6 Therefore [it is] a necklace [for] them pride it covers a garment of violence them.
Enti, ahantan yɛ wɔn kɔnmuadeɛ, na wɔde akakabensɛm afira.
7 It comes out from fat eye their they pass over [the] imaginations of heart.
Wɔn akoma a apirim no mu na nnebɔne firie; na wɔn amumuyɛ adwene nni mma ɔka.
8 They mock - and they may speak with evil oppression from a high place they speak.
Wɔsere afoforɔ na wɔka wɔn ho nsɛm a ɛnyɛ; wɔde nhyɛsoɔ hunahuna afoforɔ wɔ ahomasoɔ mu.
9 They set in the heavens mouth their and tongue their it walks on the earth.
Wɔn ano ka ɔsoro nsɛm, na wɔn tɛkrɛma agye asase afa.
10 Therefore - (it turns back *Q(K)*) people his here and waters of full they are drained by them.
Ɛno enti wɔn nkurɔfoɔ kɔ wɔn nkyɛn na wonya nsuo bebree nom.
11 And they say how? does he know God and [is] there? knowledge with [the] Most High.
Wɔbisa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Onyankopɔn ahunu? Na Ɔsorosoroni no wɔ nhunumu anaa?”
12 Here! these [are] wicked [people] and [people] at ease of perpetuity they increase wealth.
Sei na amumuyɛfoɔ no teɛ, hwee mfa wɔn ho, na wɔkɔ so pɛ ahonyadeɛ.
13 Surely vanity I have kept pure heart my and I have washed in innocence hands my.
Ampa ara, mʼakoma a ɛho teɛ no, mannya hwee amfiri mu; me nsa a ɛnni fɔ no ayɛ kwa.
14 And I have been stricken all the day and rebuke my [has been] to the mornings.
Ɛda mu nyinaa mehunu amane; anɔpa biara wɔtwe mʼaso.
15 If I had said I will speak like here! [the] generation of children your I dealt treacherously with.
Sɛ mekaa sɛ, “Mɛkasa saa” a, anka medii wo mma no hwammɔ.
16 And I thought! to know this [was] trouble (it *Q(K)*) in view my.
Mebɔɔ mmɔden sɛ mɛte yeinom nyinaa ase, nanso na ɛhyɛ me so
17 Until I went into [the] sanctuari of God I considered end their.
kɔsii sɛ mekɔɔ Onyankopɔn kronkronbea hɔ; ɛhɔ na metee deɛ ɛbɛba wɔn so awieeɛ no ase.
18 Surely on slippery [places] you set them you make fall them to deceptions.
Ampa ara wode wɔn gu baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ toro. Wode wɔn hwe fam sɛe wɔn pasaa.
19 How! they have become a waste like a moment they come to an end they are finished from sudden terror.
Sɛdeɛ wɔsɛe prɛko pɛ, na ehu hwim wɔn kɔ no,
20 Like a dream from when awakes O Lord when waken - image their you will despise.
ɛte sɛ daeɛso, ɛberɛ a onipa anyaneɛ, Ao Awurade, sɛ wokanyane wo ho a, wobɛbu wʼani agu wɔn so sɛ biribi a ɛnni hɔ.
21 If it was embittered heart my and kidneys my I was pierced.
Ɛberɛ a awerɛhoɔ hyɛɛ mʼakoma mu na me sunsum dii yea no,
22 And I [was] stupid and not I knew animals I was with you.
meyɛɛ sɛ obi a ɔnnim hwee na ɔnni adwene; meyɛɛ sɛ aboa gyimifoɔ wɔ wʼanim.
23 And I continually [am] with you you take hold on [the] hand of right my.
Nanso, na mene wowɔ hɔ ɛberɛ biara; na wode wo nsa nifa asɔ me mu.
24 With counsel your you guide me and after honor you will take me.
Wode wʼafotuo kyerɛ me ɛkwan; na akyire no, wode me bɛkɔ animuonyam mu.
25 Who? [belongs] to me in the heavens and with you not I take pleasure on the earth.
Hwan na mewɔ wɔ soro ka wo ho? Na biribiara nni asase so a mepɛ ka wo ho.
26 It had come to an end flesh my and heart my [is] [the] rock of heart my and portion my God for ever.
Me honam, ne mʼakoma bɛdi me hwammɔ, nanso Onyankopɔn ne mʼakoma ahoɔden ne me kyɛfa daa nyinaa.
27 For there! [people] far from you they will perish you destroy every [one who] acts as a prostitute from you.
Wɔn a wɔmmɛn wo no bɛyera. Wosɛe wɔn a wɔnni wo nokorɛ nyinaa.
28 And I - [the] approach of God for me [is] good I have made - in [the] Lord Yahweh refuge my to recount all works your.
Nanso, me deɛ, menim sɛ ɛyɛ sɛ wɔbɛbɛn Onyankopɔn. Mede Otumfoɔ Awurade ayɛ me hintabea; mɛka wo nneyɛɛ nyinaa akyerɛ.
