Psalms 110

1 Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”

Dawid dwom. Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me Wura sɛ, “Tena me nifa so kɔsi sɛ mede wʼatamfoɔ bɛyɛ wo nan ntiasoɔ.”

2 Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.

Awurade bɛtrɛ wʼahempoma denden mu afiri Sion; na wobɛdi ɔhene wɔ wʼatamfoɔ so.

3 On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”

Wʼakodɔm bɛyi wɔn akoma mu ɛda a wobɛkɔ sa. Tumi kronkron bɛyɛ wʼaduradeɛ na wo mmabunu bɛba wo nkyɛn sɛdeɛ bosuo gugu anɔpahema.

4 Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”

Awurade aka ntam na ɔrensesa nʼadwene: “Woyɛ daapem ɔsɔfoɔ te sɛ Melkisedek sɛso.”

5 Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

Awurade wɔ wo nifa so; ɔbɛdwerɛ ahemfo wɔ nʼabufuhyeɛ da no.

6 He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.

Ɔbɛbu amanaman atɛn aboaboa afunu ano; na wadwerɛ sodifoɔ a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa.

7 But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.

Ɔbɛnom asuwa a ɛda ɛkwan nkyɛn mu nsuo enti ɔbɛdi nkonim. Ɔhene no bɛnom asuwa a ɛda kwankyɛn mu nsuo, na wanya ahoɔden, na wagyina nkonimdie mu.
