Psalms 33
1 You righteous people should sing joyfully to Yahweh because that is what he deserves.
Momfa ahurisie nto dwom mma Awurade, mo teneneefoɔ, ɛfata sɛ wɔn a wɔtene no yi no ayɛ.
2 Praise Yahweh as you play songs on the lyre/harp. Praise him as you play [other] instruments that have many strings.
Momfa sankuo nkamfo Awurade; monto dwom mma no wɔ sankuten so.
3 Sing a new song to him; Play those instruments well, and shout joyfully as you play them!
Monto dwom foforɔ mma no. Momfa nimdeɛ mmɔ sankuo no na monteam ahurisie so!
4 Yahweh always does what he says that he will do; we can trust that everything that he does is right.
Awurade asɛm tene, na ɛyɛ nokorɛ ɔdi nokorɛ wɔ deɛ ɔyɛ nyinaa mu.
5 He loves everything that we do that is just and right. People all over the earth can know that Yahweh faithfully loves us.
Awurade dɔ teneneeyɛ ne atɛntenenee. Nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no ahyɛ asase so ma.
6 Yahweh created everything in the sky by commanding it. By what he said [MTY] he created all the stars.
Awurade asɛm so na wɔnam yɛɛ ɔsorosoro, nʼanom homeɛ so na wɔnam yɛɛ ɔsoro asafo.
7 He gathered all the water into one huge mass like [someone scoops liquid] into a container.
Ɔka ɛpo nsuo boa ano kuo; na ɔde ebunu siee deɛ ɛhɔ dɔ.
8 Everyone on the earth should revere Yahweh [DOU].
Momma asase sofoɔ nyinaa nsuro Awurade; na ewiasefoɔ nyinaa mfa anidie mma no.
9 When he spoke, the world (was created/started to exist). Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.
Ɔno na ɔkasaeɛ na ɛbaa mu na ɔhyɛeɛ na ɛgyinaa pintinn.
10 Yahweh frustrates the things that the [pagan] nations decide to do. He prevents them from doing the [evil] things that they plan to do.
Awurade sɛe amanaman no nhyehyɛeɛ; ɔma adasamma nsusuiɛ yɛ kwa.
11 But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.
Nanso, Awurade nhyehyɛeɛ tim hɔ daa, nʼakoma mu botaeɛ wɔ hɔ ma awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ.
12 Yahweh blesses those nations who choose him to be their God; He is pleased with those whom he has chosen to receive what he has promised.
Nhyira ne ɔman a ne Onyankopɔn ne Awurade, nnipa a ɔyii wɔn sɛ nʼagyapadeɛ no.
13 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;
Awurade hwɛ adasamma nyinaa firi soro.
14 from where he rules [MTY], he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.
Ɔfiri nʼatenaeɛ hwɛ wɔn a wɔte asase so nyinaa.
15 He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.
Ɔno ne deɛ ɔbɔɔ wɔn nyinaa akoma, enti ɔnim deɛ wɔyɛ nyinaa.
16 It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win [battles], and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat [his enemy].
Ɛnyɛ ɔhene akodɔm kɛseɛ na ɛbɛgye no; ɛnyɛ ɔkofoɔ ahoɔden na ɛbɛma no afiri mu afi.
17 It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.
Ɔpɔnkɔ mu ahotosoɔ yɛ kwa wɔ nkwagyeɛ mu; nʼahoɔden nyinaa akyi no, ɔrentumi nnye nkwa.
18 Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.
Nanso Awurade ani wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no no so, wɔn a wɔwɔ anidasoɔ wɔ ne dɔ a ɛnsa da no mu,
19 He saves them [SYN] from dying [before they should die] and preserves them when there is a famine.
sɛ ɔbɛgye wɔn afiri owuo mu na wama wɔatena nkwa mu wɔ ɛkɔm berɛ mu.
20 We trust that Yahweh will help us; he protects us like a shield protects a soldier [MET].
Yɛde anidasoɔ twɛn Awurade; ɔyɛ yɛn ɔboafoɔ ne yɛn akokyɛm.
21 We rejoice because of what he [has done for us]; we trust in him because he [MTY] is holy.
Ne mu na yɛn akoma di ahurisie, ɛfiri sɛ yɛde yɛn ho to ne din kronkron no so.
22 Yahweh, we pray that you will always faithfully love us while we confidently expect you [to do great things for us].
Ma wʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no ntena yɛn so, Ao Awurade, sɛdeɛ anidasoɔ a yɛwɔ wɔ mu no teɛ.
