Psalms 50

1 A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods — Jehovah — hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.

Asaf dwom. Tweaduampɔn, Onyankopɔn, Awurade no kasa, na ɔfrɛ asase nyinaa ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ.

2 From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.

Onyankopɔn hran firi Sion kuro a ne fɛ wie pɛ yɛ.

3 Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.

Yɛn Onyankopɔn reba nanso ɔrenyɛ komm; ogya a ɛhye nneɛma di nʼanim, ahum a ɛretu atwa ne ho ahyia.

4 He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.

Ɔfrɛ ɔsorosoro ne asase, sɛ ɔrebu ne nkurɔfoɔ atɛn;

5 Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.

Ɔka sɛ, “Boaboa nnipa a wɔate wɔn ho no ano ma me, wɔn a wɔnam afɔrebɔdeɛ so ne me yɛɛ apam no.”

6 And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. (Selah)

Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne tenenee, na Onyankopɔn ankasa ne ɔtemmufoɔ.

7 Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.

“Montie, me nkurɔfoɔ na mɛkasa, mɛdi adanseɛ atia wo, Ao Israel; Mene Onyankopɔn, wo Onyankopɔn no.

8 Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.

Merenka mo anim wɔ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ anaa mo hyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛwɔ mʼanim daa no ho.

9 I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.

Anantwinini a wɔfiri mo mfuo so anaa mpapo a wɔfiri mo buo mu ho nhia me,

10 For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.

ɛfiri sɛ kwaeɛ mu aboa biara yɛ me dea, anantwie a wɔwɔ nkokoɔ mpempem so nso saa ara.

11 I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.

Menim anomaa biara a ɔwɔ mmepɔ no so, na wiram abɔdeɛ nyinaa yɛ me dea.

12 If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.

Sɛ ɛkɔm dee me a, anka merenka nkyerɛ mo; ɛfiri sɛ, ewiase ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ me dea.

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?

Mewe anantwinini nam, na menom mpapo mogya anaa?

14 Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.

Momfa aseda afɔdeɛ mma Onyankopɔn, na monni bɔhyɛ a mohyɛɛ Ɔsorosoroni no so,

15 And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.

na momfrɛ me da hiada; na mɛgye mo na moahyɛ me animuonyam.”

16 And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?

Nanso, amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, Onyankopɔn bisa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moka me mmara ho asɛm na mʼapam da mo ano?

17 Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.

Mokyiri me nkyerɛkyerɛ na moto me nsɛm gu mo akyi.

18 If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.

Sɛ mohunu ɔkorɔmfoɔ a, mode mo ho bɔ no; na mo ne awaresɛefoɔ nso bɔ.

19 Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,

Mode mo ano yɛ bɔne na mode mo tɛkrɛma boaboa nnaadaa ano.

20 Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.

Mokasa tia mo nuabarima ɛberɛ biara na mosopa mo ankasa maame ba.

21 These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

Moayɛ yeinom nyinaa; nanso manka hwee, enti mosusu sɛ mete sɛ mo. Nanso mɛka mo anim na mede mo soboɔ asi mo anim.

22 Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

“Monnwene yei ho, mo a mo werɛ firi Onyankopɔn, anyɛ saa a, mɛtete mo mu nketenkete a obiara mmɛgye mo;

23 He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!

Deɛ ɔbɔ aseda afɔdeɛ no hyɛ me animuonyam, na ɔsiesie ɛkwan sɛdeɛ mɛda Onyankopɔn nkwagyeɛ adi akyerɛ no.” Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
