Psalms 58
1 `In Ebreu thus, To victorie; `lese thou not the swete song, ether the semely salm, of Dauid. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomere, that thou lese not Dauid, meke and simple. Forsothe if ye speken riytfulnesse verili; ye sones of men, deme riytfuli.
Dawid “miktam” dwom. Mo sodifoɔ, ampa ara, moka asɛm a ɛtene anaa? Mobu atɛntenenee wɔ nnipa mu anaa?
2 For in herte ye worchen wickidnesse in erthe; youre hondis maken redi vnriytfulnessis.
Dabi! Modwene ntɛnkyea wɔ mʼakomam na mo nsa de akakabensɛm ba asase so.
3 Synneris weren maad aliens fro the wombe; thei erriden fro the wombe, thei spaken false thingis.
Amumuyɛfoɔ fom kwan firi awoɔ mu; wɔyɛ mmaratofoɔ firi awotwaa mu na wɔdi atorɔ.
4 Woodnesse is to hem, bi the licnesse of a serpent; as of a deef snake, and stoppynge hise eeris.
Wɔn ano ɛborɔ te sɛ ɔwɔ deɛ. Ɛte sɛ ɔprammire a watɛn nʼaso,
5 Which schal not here the vois of charmeris; and of a venym makere charmynge wiseli.
a ɔnte ntafowayifoɔ dwom, na ne dwom dɛɛdɛ no mpo mfa ne ho.
6 God schal al to-breke the teeth of hem in her mouth; the Lord schal breke togidere the greet teeth of liouns.
Ao Onyankopɔn, bubu ɛse a ɛgu wɔn anom, Ao Awurade, tutu agyata no sebɔmmɔfoɔ no gu!
7 Thei schulen come to nouyt, as water rennynge awei; he bente his bouwe, til thei ben maad sijk.
Ma wɔntwa mu nkɔ sɛ nsunsuan; sɛ wɔtwe wɔn agyan a, ma wɔn bɛmma no ano nwu.
8 As wexe that fletith awei, thei schulen be takun awei; fier felle aboue, and thei siyen not the sunne.
Ma wɔnyɛ sɛ nwa pɛkyɛpɛkyɛ bi a ɔretene kɔ. Ma wɔnyɛ sɛ ɔba a ɔwu wɔ awoeɛ na ɔnhunu owia.
9 Bifore that youre thornes vndurstoden the ramne; he swolewith hem so in ire, as lyuynge men.
Ansa na mo nkukuo bɛte nkasɛɛ ano yea, sɛ ɛyɛ mono anaa deɛ awo no, wɔbɛpra amumuyɛfoɔ akɔ.
10 The iust man schal be glad, whanne he schal se veniaunce; he schal waische hise hondis in the blood of a synner.
Sɛ wɔtua amumuyɛfoɔ ka a, ateneneefoɔ ani bɛgye, na wɔbɛhohoro wɔn nan ho wɔ amumuyɛfoɔ mogya mu.
11 And a man schal seie treuli, For fruyt is to a iust man; treuli God is demynge hem in erthe.
Afei nnipa bɛka sɛ, “Ampa ara, ateneneefoɔ kɔ so nya wɔn akatua; na ampa ara Onyankopɔn bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbu ewiase atɛn.” Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
