Nnwom 50
1 Asaf dwom. Tweduampɔn, Onyankopɔn, Awurade no kasa, na ɔfrɛ asase nyinaa efi apuei kosi atɔe.
A Psalme of Asaph. The God of Gods, euen the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising vp of the sunne vnto the going downe thereof.
2 Onyankopɔn hyerɛn fi Sion kurow a ne fɛ wie pɛyɛ.
Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
3 Yɛn Nyankopɔn reba nanso ɔrenyɛ komm; ogya a ɛhyew nneɛma di nʼanim, ahum a ɛretu atwa ne ho ahyia.
Our God shall come and shall not keepe silence: a fire shall deuoure before him, and a mightie tempest shall be mooued round about him.
4 Ɔfrɛ ɔsorosoro ne asase, sɛ ɔrebu ne nkurɔfo atɛn;
Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
5 Ɔka se, “Boaboa nnipa a wɔatew wɔn ho no ano ma me; wɔn a wɔnam afɔrebɔ so ne me yɛɛ apam no.”
Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.
6 Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne trenee, na Onyankopɔn ankasa ne otemmufo.
And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. (Selah)
7 “Muntie, me nkurɔfo, na mɛkasa, medi adanse atia wo, Israel; Mene Onyankopɔn, wo Nyankopɔn no.
Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God.
8 Merenka mo anim wɔ mo afɔrebɔde anaa mo hyew afɔre a ɛwɔ mʼanim daa no ho.
I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.
9 Anantwinini a wofi mo mfuw so anaa mpapo a wofi mo buw mu ho nhia me,
I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.
10 efisɛ kwae mu aboa biara yɛ me de, anantwi a wɔwɔ nkoko mpempem so nso saa ara.
For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.
11 Minim anomaa biara a ɔwɔ mmepɔw no so, na wuram abɔde nyinaa yɛ me de.
I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.
12 Sɛ ɔkɔm dee me a, anka merenka nkyerɛ mo; efisɛ, wiase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ me de.
If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.
13 Mewe anantwinini nam, na menom mpapo mogya ana?
Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?
14 Momfa aseda afɔre mma Onyankopɔn, na munni bɔ a mohyɛɛ Ɔsorosoroni no so,
Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High,
15 na momfrɛ me hiada; na megye mo na moahyɛ me anuonyam.”
And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.
16 Nanso amumɔyɛfo de, Onyankopɔn bisa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na moka me mmara na mʼapam da mo ano?
But vnto the wicked said God, What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, that thou shouldest take my couenant in thy mouth,
17 Mukyi me nkyerɛkyerɛ, na motow me nsɛm gu mo akyi.
Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?
18 Sɛ muhu ɔkorɔmfo a mode mo ho bɔ no; na mo ne nguaman nso bɔ.
For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.
19 Mode mo ano yɛ bɔne, na mode mo tɛkrɛma boaboa nnaadaa ano.
Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.
20 Mokasa tia mo nuabarima bere biara na mosopa mo ankasa na ba.
Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.
21 Moayɛ eyinom nyinaa; nanso manka hwee, enti mususuw sɛ mete sɛ mo. Nanso mɛka mo anim, na mede mo sobo asi mo anim.
These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue: therefore thou thoughtest that I was like thee: but I will reproue thee, and set them in order before thee.
22 “Munnwen eyi ho, mo a mo werɛ fi Onyankopɔn, anyɛ saa a, mɛtetew mo mu nketenkete a obiara remmegye mo;
Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you.
23 Nea ɔbɔ aseda afɔre no hyɛ me anuonyam, na osiesie kwan sɛnea mɛda Onyankopɔn nkwagye adi akyerɛ no.”
He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.
