Psalms 36
1 [Wicked people continually desire to] sin. They consider [IDM] that they do not need to revere God.
Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Awurade ɔsomfoɔ Dawid dwom. Nkɔmhyɛ bi da mʼakoma so a ɛfa omumuyɛfoɔ mmarato ho. Wɔnnsuro Onyankopɔn.
2 Because they are very proud, they do not think that God will discover their sins and condemn them (OR, they do not think about their sins and hate themselves for it).
Na ɔno ankasa ani so no, ɔdaadaa ne ho dodo enti mma ɔnhunu ne bɔne nnyae yɛ.
3 [Everything] that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.
Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimuɔden ne nnaadaa; ɔnnim nyansa bio, na wayɛ papa.
4 While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm [others]; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse [to do what is] evil.
Ɔda ne mpa so mpo a, ɔbɔ pɔ bɔne; na ɔgyaa ne ho ma bɔne ɛkwan na ɔmpo deɛ ɛnyɛ.
5 Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens, you faithfully [do what you have promised]; [it is as though your doing that] extends up to the clouds.
Awurade, wʼadɔeɛ duru sorosoro wo nokorɛdie duru ewiem tɔnn.
6 Your righteous behavior is [as permanent as] the highest mountains [MET], your acting justly [will continue as long as] the deepest oceans [exist]. You take care of people and you take care of animals.
Wo tenenee te sɛ mmepɔ akɛseɛ. Wʼatɛntenenee mu dɔ sɛ ɛpo bunu. Ao Awurade, wokora nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa so.
7 God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].
Wʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no som bo! Nnipa mu akɛseɛ ne nketewa nya hintabea wɔ wo ntaban nwunu ase.
8 You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply [IDM] that you have; your great blessings for us [flow] like a river.
Wɔdi deɛ abu soɔ wɔ wo fie woma wɔnom firi wʼanika asutene no mu.
9 You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to see.
Wo nkyɛn na nkwa asutire wɔ; wo hann mu na yɛhunu hann.
10 Continue to faithfully love those who have experienced a relationship with you, and bless those who act righteously/justly.
Kɔ so dɔ wɔn a wɔnim wo, ma wo tenenee ntena wɔn a wɔtene akoma mu.
11 Do not allow proud people [SYN] to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.
Mma ɔhantanni nan ntia me anaa omumuyɛfoɔ nsa nnsunsum me.
12 Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
Hwɛ sɛdeɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
