Nnwom 72
1 Salomo dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntrenee dom ɔhene no, na fa wo trenee ma ɔhene babarima.
“For Solomon.” To the king, O God! give thy justice, And to the son of a king thy righteousness!
2 Ɔde trenee bebu wo nkurɔfo atɛn, obebu wo nkurɔfo a wɔrehu amane no atɛntrenee.
Yea! he shall judge thy people with equity, And thine oppressed ones with justice.
3 Mmepɔw no de yiyedi bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkoko no de trenee bɛba.
For the mountains shall bring forth peace to the people, And the hills, through righteousness.
4 Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufo na wagye wɔn a wonni bi mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛw nhyɛsofo.
He shall defend the oppressed of the people; He shall save the needy, And break in pieces the oppressor.
5 Owia ne ɔsram da so wɔ hɔ yi wobesuro wo awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon shall endure, From generation to generation.
6 Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osu a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔw so so, te sɛ obosu a egugu asase so.
He shall be like rain descending on the mown field, —Like showers which water the earth.
7 Atreneefo benyin frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne bere so; yiyedi bebu so akosi da a ɔsram nni hɔ bio.
In his days shall the righteous flourish, And great shall be their prosperity, as long as the moon shall endure.
8 Obedi hene afi po akosi po, afi Asubɔnten Efrata akosi asase ano.
He shall 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.
They that dwell in the desert 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 bring presents; 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 shall deliver the poor who crieth for aid, And the oppressed who hath no helper.
13 Obehu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛw ne ahiafo mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafo nkwa.
He shall spare the weak and needy, And save the lives of the poor.
14 Obegye wɔn afi nhyɛso ne akakabensɛm ase, efisɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
He shall redeem them from deceit and violence, And their blood shall 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.
He shall prosper, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; Prayer also shall be made for him continually, And daily shall he be praised.
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 an abundance of corn in the land; Its fruit shall shake like Lebanon, even on the tops of the mountains; And they of the cities shall flourish as 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.
His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun. By him shall men bless themselves; All nations shall call him blessed.
18 Nhyira nka Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwonwade.
[[Praised be God, Jehovah, the God of Israel, Who alone doeth wonderful things!
19 Nhyira nka ne din a anuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanuonyam nhyɛ wiase nyinaa ma.
Praised be his glorious name for ever! May his glory fill the whole earth! Amen, Amen!
20 Yisai ba Dawid mpaebɔ no awiei ni.
Here end the Psalms of David, the son of Jesse.]]
