Nnwom 50
1 Asaf dwom. Tweaduampɔn, Onyankopɔn, Awurade no kasa, na ɔfrɛ asase nyinaa ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ.
THE mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Onyankopɔn hran firi Sion kuro a ne fɛ wie pɛ yɛ.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath 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 keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 Ɔfrɛ ɔsorosoro ne asase, sɛ ɔrebu ne nkurɔfoɔ atɛn;
He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge 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 unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne tenenee, na Onyankopɔn ankasa ne ɔtemmufoɔ.
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. (Selah)
7 “Montie, me nkurɔfoɔ na mɛkasa, mɛdi adanseɛ atia wo, Ao Israel; Mene Onyankopɔn, wo Onyankopɔn no.
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 Merenka mo anim wɔ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ anaa mo hyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛwɔ mʼanim daa no ho.
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 Anantwinini a wɔfiri mo mfuo so anaa mpapo a wɔfiri mo buo mu ho nhia me,
I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 ɛfiri sɛ kwaeɛ mu aboa biara yɛ me dea, anantwie a wɔwɔ nkokoɔ mpempem so nso saa ara.
For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 Menim anomaa biara a ɔwɔ mmepɔ no so, na wiram abɔdeɛ nyinaa yɛ me dea.
I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field 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 were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Mewe anantwinini nam, na menom mpapo mogya anaa?
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Momfa aseda afɔdeɛ mma Onyankopɔn, na monni bɔhyɛ a mohyɛɛ Ɔsorosoroni no so,
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 na momfrɛ me da hiada; na mɛgye mo na moahyɛ me animuonyam.”
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 Nanso, amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, Onyankopɔn bisa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moka me mmara ho asɛm na mʼapam da mo ano?
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Mokyiri me nkyerɛkyerɛ na moto me nsɛm gu mo akyi.
Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
18 Sɛ mohunu ɔkorɔmfoɔ a, mode mo ho bɔ no; na mo ne awaresɛefoɔ nso bɔ.
When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Mode mo ano yɛ bɔne na mode mo tɛkrɛma boaboa nnaadaa ano.
Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Mokasa tia mo nuabarima ɛberɛ biara na mosopa mo ankasa maame ba.
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
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 kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 “Monnwene yei ho, mo a mo werɛ firi Onyankopɔn, anyɛ saa a, mɛtete mo mu nketenkete a obiara mmɛgye mo;
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Deɛ ɔbɔ aseda afɔdeɛ no hyɛ me animuonyam, na ɔsiesie ɛkwan sɛdeɛ mɛda Onyankopɔn nkwagyeɛ adi akyerɛ no.” Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
