Psalms 52
1 To the Overseer. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.
Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoeɛ ɛberɛ a Edomni Doeg bɛka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Dawid akɔ Ahimelek fie” no. Ɔkɛseɛ, adɛn enti na wohoahoa wo ho wɔ wo bɔne ho? Adɛn enti na wohoahoa wo ho da mu nyinaa, wo a woyɛ animguasedeɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so?
2 Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
Wo tɛkrɛma bɔ ɔsɛeɛ ho pɔ; ɛte sɛ yiwan a ano yɛ tahwetahwe. Wo a wotwa nkontompo nko ara.
3 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Wʼani gye bɔne ho sene papa, wopɛ atorɔ sene sɛ wobɛka nokorɛ.
4 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
Wodɔ asɛm biara a ɛde ɔhaw ba, Ao wo tɛkrɛma daadaafoɔ!
5 Also — God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn de ɔsɛeɛ a ɛnni awieeɛ bɛbrɛ wo; ɔbɛtwe wo afiri wo ntomadan mu na watete wo mu; Ɔbɛtɔre wʼase wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so.
6 And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
Ateneneefoɔ bɛhunu yei na wɔasuro; wɔbɛsere no na wɔaka sɛ,
7 'Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'
“Hwɛ, onipa no nie deɛ wamfa Onyankopɔn anyɛ nʼabandenden na mmom ɔde ne ho too nʼahonya dodoɔ so na ɔnyaa ahoɔden de sɛee afoforɔ no!”
8 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,
Nanso, mete sɛ ngo dua a ɛrenyini wɔ Onyankopɔn fie: mede me ho to Onyankopɔn dɔ a ɛnsa da no so daa nyinaa.
9 I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints!
Mɛyi wo ayɛ daa wɔ deɛ woayɛ nti; wo din so na mʼani bɛda, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ. Mɛyi wo ayɛ wɔ wʼahotefoɔ anim. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde “mahalat” sankuo nne na ɛto.
