Psalms 24

1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,

Dawid dwom. Asase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ Awurade de; wiase ne wɔn a wɔte mu nyinaa wɔ no;

2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.

efisɛ ɔno na ɔtoo ne fapem wɔ po so na ɔde sii nsu ani.

3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?

Hena na obetumi aforo Awurade bepɔw no? Hena na obetumi agyina ne tenabea kronkron hɔ?

4 [Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].

Nea ɔyɛ ade trenee na ne koma mu tew, nea ne kra nni ahoni akyi na ɔnka ntamhunu.

5 (They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).

Obenya Awurade nsam nhyira ne bembu a efi ne Nkwagye Nyankopɔn.

6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.

Saa na awo ntoatoaso a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no te wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wʼanim no, Yakob Nyankopɔn.

7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

Mo aponkɛse, momma mo ti so; wɔmma mo so, mo tete apon, na Anuonyam Hene nhyɛn mu.

8 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!

Hena ne saa Anuonyam Hene yi? Ɔno ne Awurade hoɔdenfo ne otumfo no Awurade a ɔyɛ ɔko mu nkonimdifo.

9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

Momma mo ti so, mo aponkɛse momma wɔn so, mo tete apon, na anuonyam Hene no nkɔ mu.

10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!

Hena ne saa anuonyam Hene yi? Asafo Awurade no, ɔno ne anuonyam Hene no.
