1 Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn din ahyeta wɔ Yuda; ne din so wɔ Israel.
People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
2 Ne ntamadan si Salem, ne tenabea wɔ Sion.
His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
3 Ɛhɔ na obubuu mmemma a ɛpa gya, nkatabo ne afoa, akode nyinaa mu.
There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.
4 Wo ho hann no hyerɛn, na woso sen mmepɔw a mmoadoma ahyɛ mu ma no.
God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
5 Mmarima akokodurufo deda hɔ a wɔagye wɔn ho nneɛma, wɔadeda awufo nna; na akofo no mu baako mpo ntumi mma ne nsa so.
Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!
6 Yakob Nyankopɔn, wokaa wɔn anim no apɔnkɔ no ne nteaseɛnam no adeda dinn.
When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
7 Wo nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wosuro wo. Sɛ wo bo fuw a hena na obetumi agyina wʼanim?
But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
8 Wubuu atɛn fii ɔsoro, asase suroe, na ɛyɛɛ komm,
From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
9 bere a wo, Onyankopɔn, sɔre buu atɛn, de gyee amanehunufo wɔ asase no so no.
when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
10 Ampa ara wʼabufuwhyew a etia nnipa no de ayeyi brɛ wo, na wɔn a wotumi gyina ano no nya kɔkɔbɔ.
When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.
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.
[So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.
12 Ɔbrɛ sodifonom honhom ase; na asase so ahemfo suro no. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde ma Yedutun.
He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
