Nnwom 72
1 Salomo dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntrenee dom ɔhene no, na fa wo trenee ma ɔhene babarima.
Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness to the king's son.
2 Ɔde trenee bebu wo nkurɔfo atɛn, obebu wo nkurɔfo a wɔrehu amane no atɛntrenee.
He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with justice.
3 Mmepɔw no de yiyedi bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkoko no de trenee bɛba.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, in righteousness.
4 Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufo na wagye wɔn a wonni bi mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛw nhyɛsofo.
He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the sons of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.
5 Owia ne ɔsram da so wɔ hɔ yi wobesuro wo awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
They shall fear thee while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osu a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔw so so, te sɛ obosu a egugu asase so.
He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7 Atreneefo benyin frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne bere so; yiyedi bebu so akosi da a ɔsram nni hɔ bio.
In his days righteousness shall flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon is no more.
8 Obedi hene afi po akosi po, afi Asubɔnten Efrata akosi asase ano.
He shall also have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 Sare so mmusua bɛkotow nʼanim na nʼatamfo adi mfutuma.
Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 Tarsis ne mpoano ahemfo a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri de sonkahiri bɛbrɛ no; Saba ne Seba ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ no.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkotow no, amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
12 Na obegye mmɔborɔfo a wosu frɛ no, ne amanehunufo a wonni ɔboafo.
For he will deliver a needy man when he cries, and a poor man, who has no helper.
13 Obehu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛw ne ahiafo mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafo nkwa.
He will have pity on a poor and needy man, and he will save the souls of the needy.
14 Obegye wɔn afi nhyɛso ne akakabensɛm ase, efisɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. And their blood will be precious in his sight,
15 Ɔhene nkwa so! ma wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ mfi Seba mmrɛ no. Ma nnipa mmɔ mpae mma no na wonhyira no da mu nyinaa.
and they shall live. And to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. And men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all the day long.
16 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.
There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains. The fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon. And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛ sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa no so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
His name shall endure forever. His name shall be continued as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in him. All nations shall call him blessed.
18 Nhyira nka Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwonwade.
Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
19 Nhyira nka ne din a anuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanuonyam nhyɛ wiase nyinaa ma.
And blessed be his glorious name forever. And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Truly, and Truly.
20 Yisai ba Dawid mpaebɔ no awiei ni.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
