Nnwom 50
1 Asaf dwom. Tweaduampɔn, Onyankopɔn, Awurade no kasa, na ɔfrɛ asase nyinaa ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ.
A Psalme of Asaph. The God of Gods, euen the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising vp of the sunne vnto the going downe thereof.
2 Onyankopɔn hran firi Sion kuro a ne fɛ wie pɛ yɛ.
Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.
3 Yɛn Onyankopɔn reba nanso ɔrenyɛ komm; ogya a ɛhye nneɛma di nʼanim, ahum a ɛretu atwa ne ho ahyia.
Our God shall come and shall not keepe silence: a fire shall deuoure before him, and a mightie tempest shall be mooued round about him.
4 Ɔfrɛ ɔsorosoro ne asase, sɛ ɔrebu ne nkurɔfoɔ atɛn;
Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.
5 Ɔka sɛ, “Boaboa nnipa a wɔate wɔn ho no ano ma me, wɔn a wɔnam afɔrebɔdeɛ so ne me yɛɛ apam no.”
Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.
6 Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne tenenee, na Onyankopɔn ankasa ne ɔtemmufoɔ.
And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. (Selah)
7 “Montie, me nkurɔfoɔ na mɛkasa, mɛdi adanseɛ atia wo, Ao Israel; Mene Onyankopɔn, wo Onyankopɔn no.
Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God.
8 Merenka mo anim wɔ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ anaa mo hyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛwɔ mʼanim daa no ho.
I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.
9 Anantwinini a wɔfiri mo mfuo so anaa mpapo a wɔfiri mo buo mu ho nhia me,
I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.
10 ɛfiri sɛ kwaeɛ mu aboa biara yɛ me dea, anantwie a wɔwɔ nkokoɔ mpempem so nso saa ara.
For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.
11 Menim anomaa biara a ɔwɔ mmepɔ no so, na wiram abɔdeɛ nyinaa yɛ me dea.
I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.
12 Sɛ ɛkɔm dee me a, anka merenka nkyerɛ mo; ɛfiri sɛ, ewiase ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ me dea.
If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.
13 Mewe anantwinini nam, na menom mpapo mogya anaa?
Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?
14 Momfa aseda afɔdeɛ mma Onyankopɔn, na monni bɔhyɛ a mohyɛɛ Ɔsorosoroni no so,
Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High,
15 na momfrɛ me da hiada; na mɛgye mo na moahyɛ me animuonyam.”
And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.
16 Nanso, amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, Onyankopɔn bisa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moka me mmara ho asɛm na mʼapam da mo ano?
But vnto the wicked said God, What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, that thou shouldest take my couenant in thy mouth,
17 Mokyiri me nkyerɛkyerɛ na moto me nsɛm gu mo akyi.
Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?
18 Sɛ mohunu ɔkorɔmfoɔ a, mode mo ho bɔ no; na mo ne awaresɛefoɔ nso bɔ.
For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.
19 Mode mo ano yɛ bɔne na mode mo tɛkrɛma boaboa nnaadaa ano.
Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.
20 Mokasa tia mo nuabarima ɛberɛ biara na mosopa mo ankasa maame ba.
Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.
21 Moayɛ yeinom nyinaa; nanso manka hwee, enti mosusu sɛ mete sɛ mo. Nanso mɛka mo anim na mede mo soboɔ asi mo anim.
These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue: therefore thou thoughtest that I was like thee: but I will reproue thee, and set them in order before thee.
22 “Monnwene yei ho, mo a mo werɛ firi Onyankopɔn, anyɛ saa a, mɛtete mo mu nketenkete a obiara mmɛgye mo;
Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you.
23 Deɛ ɔbɔ aseda afɔdeɛ no hyɛ me animuonyam, na ɔsiesie ɛkwan sɛdeɛ mɛda Onyankopɔn nkwagyeɛ adi akyerɛ no.”
He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.
