Nnwom 72
1 Salomo dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntrenee dom ɔhene no, na fa wo trenee ma ɔhene babarima.
A Psalm according to Solomon.
2 Ɔde trenee bebu wo nkurɔfo atɛn, obebu wo nkurɔfo a wɔrehu amane no atɛntrenee.
Give your judgment, O God, to the king, and your justice to the king’s son, to judge your people with justice and your poor with judgment.
3 Mmepɔw no de yiyedi bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkoko no de trenee bɛba.
Let the mountains take up peace for the people, and the hills, justice.
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, and he will bring salvation to the sons of the poor. And he will humble the false accuser.
5 Owia ne ɔsram da so wɔ hɔ yi wobesuro wo awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
And he will remain, with the sun and before the moon, from generation to generation.
6 Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osu a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔw so so, te sɛ obosu a egugu asase so.
He will descend like rain upon fleece, and like showers showering upon the earth.
7 Atreneefo benyin frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne bere so; yiyedi bebu so akosi da a ɔsram nni hɔ bio.
In his days, justice will rise like the sun, with abundance of peace, until the moon is taken away.
8 Obedi hene afi po akosi po, afi Asubɔnten Efrata akosi asase ano.
And he will rule from sea to sea and from the river to the limits of the whole world.
9 Sare so mmusua bɛkotow nʼanim na nʼatamfo adi mfutuma.
In his sight, the Ethiopians will fall prostrate, and his enemies will lick the ground.
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 the islands will offer gifts. The kings of Arabia and of Seba will bring gifts.
11 Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkotow no, amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
And all the kings of the earth shall adore him. All nations will serve him.
12 Na obegye mmɔborɔfo a wosu frɛ no, ne amanehunufo a wonni ɔboafo.
For he will free the poor from the powerful, and the poor one who has no helper.
13 Obehu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛw ne ahiafo mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafo nkwa.
He will spare the poor and the indigent, and he will bring salvation to the souls of the poor.
14 Obegye wɔn afi nhyɛso ne akakabensɛm ase, efisɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
He will redeem their souls from usuries and from iniquity, and their names shall be honorable 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 he will live, and to him will be given from the gold of Arabia, and by him they will always adore. They will bless him all 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.
And there will be a firmament on earth, at the summits of mountains: its fruits will be extolled above Lebanon, and those of the city will flourish like the 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.
May his name be blessed forever; may his name remain before the sun. And all the tribes of the earth will be blessed in him. All nations will magnify him.
18 Nhyira nka Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwonwade.
Blessed is the Lord, 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 is the name of his majesty in eternity. And all the earth will be filled with his majesty. Amen. Amen.
20 Yisai ba Dawid mpaebɔ no awiei ni.
The praises of David, the son of Jesse, have reached an end.
