Psalms 72
1 A psalm of Solomon. Give the king your righteous decrees, God, your righteousness to the king's son.
Salomo dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntrenee dom ɔhene no, na fa wo trenee ma ɔhene babarima.
2 May he judge your people with righteousness and your poor with justice.
Ɔde trenee bebu wo nkurɔfo atɛn, obebu wo nkurɔfo a wɔrehu amane no atɛntrenee.
3 May the mountains produce peace for the people; may the hills produce righteousness.
Mmepɔw no de yiyedi bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkoko no de trenee bɛba.
4 May he judge the poor of the people; may he save the children of the needy and break in pieces the oppressor.
Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufo na wagye wɔn a wonni bi mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛw nhyɛsofo.
5 May they honor you while the sun endures, and as long as the moon lasts throughout all generations.
Owia ne ɔsram da so wɔ hɔ yi wobesuro wo awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
6 May he come down like rain on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.
Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osu a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔw so so, te sɛ obosu a egugu asase so.
7 May the righteous flourish in his days, and may there be an abundance of peace till the moon is no more.
Atreneefo benyin frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne bere so; yiyedi bebu so akosi da a ɔsram nni hɔ bio.
8 May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Obedi hene afi po akosi po, afi Asubɔnten Efrata akosi asase ano.
9 May those who live in the wilderness bow down before him; may his enemies lick the dust.
Sare so mmusua bɛkotow nʼanim na nʼatamfo adi mfutuma.
10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the islands render tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
Tarsis ne mpoano ahemfo a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri de sonkahiri bɛbrɛ no; Saba ne Seba ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ no.
11 Indeed, may all kings fall down before him; may all nations serve him.
Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkotow no, amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
12 For he helps the needy person who cries out and the poor person who has no other helper.
Na obegye mmɔborɔfo a wosu frɛ no, ne amanehunufo a wonni ɔboafo.
13 He has pity on the poor and needy, and he saves the lives of needy people.
Obehu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛw ne ahiafo mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafo nkwa.
14 He redeems their lives from oppression and violence, and their blood is precious in his sight.
Obegye wɔn afi nhyɛso ne akakabensɛm ase, efisɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
15 May he live! May the gold of Sheba be given to him. May people always pray for him; may God bless him all day long.
Ɔhene nkwa so! ma wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ mfi Seba mmrɛ no. Ma nnipa mmɔ mpae mma no na wonhyira no da mu nyinaa.
16 May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the mountaintops may their crops wave. May the fruit of it be like Lebanon; may the people flourish in the cities like the grass of the field.
Aburow mmu so wɔ asase no so nyinaa; nnuan mmu so wɔ nkoko so, ma nʼaba mmɔ sɛ Lebanon; na enyin sɛ mfuw so sare.
17 May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun; may people be blessed in him; may all nations call him blessed.
Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛ sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa no so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
18 May Yahweh God, the God of Israel, be blessed, who alone does wonderful things.
Nhyira nka Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwonwade.
19 May his glorious name be blessed forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.
Nhyira nka ne din a anuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanuonyam nhyɛ wiase nyinaa ma.
20 The prayers of David son of Jesse are finished.
Yisai ba Dawid mpaebɔ no awiei ni.
