< Nnwom 76 >
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde sanku na ɛto. Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn din ahyeta wɔ Yuda; ne din so wɔ Israel.
Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
2 Ne ntamadan si Salem, ne tenabea wɔ Sion.
And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
3 Ɛhɔ na obubuu mmemma a ɛpa gya, nkatabo ne afoa, akode nyinaa mu.
There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
4 Wo ho hann no hyerɛn, na woso sen mmepɔw a mmoadoma ahyɛ mu ma no.
Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
5 Mmarima akokodurufo deda hɔ a wɔagye wɔn ho nneɛma, wɔadeda awufo nna; na akofo no mu baako mpo ntumi mma ne nsa so.
All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
6 Yakob Nyankopɔn, wokaa wɔn anim no apɔnkɔ no ne nteaseɛnam no adeda dinn.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
7 Wo nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wosuro wo. Sɛ wo bo fuw a hena na obetumi agyina wʼanim?
Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
8 Wubuu atɛn fii ɔsoro, asase suroe, na ɛyɛɛ komm,
Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
9 bere a wo, Onyankopɔn, sɔre buu atɛn, de gyee amanehunufo wɔ asase no so no.
When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
10 Ampa ara wʼabufuwhyew a etia nnipa no de ayeyi brɛ wo, na wɔn a wotumi gyina ano no nya kɔkɔbɔ.
For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
11 Monhyɛ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no bɔ na munni so; momma nsase a atwa ne ho ahyia mfa ayɛyɛde mmrɛ Ɔbaako a ɛsɛ sɛ wosuro no no.
Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
12 Ɔbrɛ sodifonom honhom ase; na asase so ahemfo suro no.
Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
