Psalms 48

1 A song; a psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God on his holy mountain.

Koramma dwom. Awurade yɛ ɔkɛse na ɔsɛ nkamfo, wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn kuropɔn mu, ne bepɔw kronkron so.

2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

Ne sorokɔ ma ɛyɛ fɛ, ɛyɛ wiase nyinaa anigyede. Bepɔw Sion te sɛ Safon sorɔnsorɔmmea, Ɔhenkɛse no kuropɔn.

3 God has made himself known in her palaces as a refuge.

Onyankopɔn te nʼabankɛse mu wada ne ho adi sɛ ɔyɛ nʼabandennen.

4 For, see, the kings assembled themselves; they passed by together.

Bere a ahemfo yi boaa wɔn ho ano, na wotuu ɔsa bɔɔ mu no,

5 They saw it, then they were amazed; they were dismayed, and they hurried away.

wohuu no ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn ahodwiriw, na wɔde ehu guanee.

6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain as when a woman is in labor.

Wɔbɔɔ huboa wɔ hɔ, ɔyaw a ɛte sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no.

7 With the east wind you break the ships of Tarshish.

Wosɛe wɔn sɛ Tarsis ahyɛn a apuei mframa abɔ adwira wɔn.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it forever. (Selah)

Sɛnea yɛate no, saa ara na yɛahu wɔ Asafo Awurade kuropɔn no mu, yɛn Nyankopɔn kuropɔn mu; Onyankopɔn ma etim hɔ afebɔɔ.

9 We have thought about your covenant faithfulness, God, in the middle of your temple.

Wʼasɔredan no mu; Ao, Onyankopɔn, na yɛdwene wo dɔ a enni huammɔ da no ho,

10 As your name is, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.

Ao, Onyankopɔn, wʼayeyi du asase ano te sɛ wo din te; trenee ayɛ wo nsa nifa mu ma.

11 Let Mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your righteous decrees.

Sion bepɔw di ahurusi, Yuda nkuraase no ani gye esiane wʼatemmu no nti.

12 Walk around Mount Zion, go round about her; count her towers,

Nantew Sion na twa ho hyia, kan nʼabantenten dodow,

13 notice well her walls, and look at her palaces so that you may tell it to the next generation.

dwene nʼafasu ho yiye, hwɛ nʼabankɛse no, na woaka ho asɛm akyerɛ nkyirimma.

14 For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide to death.

Saa Onyankopɔn yi yɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn daa daa; ɔbɛyɛ yɛn kwankyerɛfo akosi awiei mpo. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
