Nnwom 72
1 Salomo dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntenenee ma ɔhene no, na fa wo tenenee ma ɔhene babarima.
A Psalm according to Solomon.
2 Ɔde tenenee bɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ atɛn, ɔbɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔrehunu amane no atɛntenenee.
Give your judgment, O God, to the king, and your justice to the king’s son, to judge your people with justice and your poor with judgment.
3 Mmepɔ no de yiedie bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkokoɔ no de tenenee bɛba.
Let the mountains take up peace for the people, and the hills, justice.
4 Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufoɔ na woagye wɔn a wɔnni bie mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛ nhyɛsofoɔ.
He will judge the poor of the people, and he will bring salvation to the sons of the poor. And he will humble the false accuser.
5 Owia ne ɔsrane da so wɔ hɔ yi wɔbɛsuro wo awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.
And he will remain, with the sun and before the moon, from generation to generation.
6 Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osuo a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔ soɔ so, te sɛ obosuo a ɛgugu asase so.
He will descend like rain upon fleece, and like showers showering upon the earth.
7 Teneneefoɔ bɛnyini frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne berɛ so; yiedie bɛbu so kɔsi da a ɔsrane nni hɔ bio.
In his days, justice will rise like the sun, with abundance of peace, until the moon is taken away.
8 Ɔbɛdi ɔhene afiri ɛpo akɔsi ɛpo afiri Asubɔnten Efrata akɔsi asase ano.
And he will rule from sea to sea and from the river to the limits of the whole world.
9 Ɛserɛ so mmusua bɛkoto nʼanim na nʼatamfoɔ adi mfuturo.
In his sight, the Ethiopians will fall prostrate, and his enemies will lick the ground.
10 Tarsis ne mpoano ahemfo a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri de apeatoɔ bɛbrɛ no; Saba ne Seba ahemfo de ayɛyɛdeɛ bɛbrɛ no.
The kings of Tarshish and the islands will offer gifts. The kings of Arabia and of Seba will bring gifts.
11 Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkoto no amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
And all the kings of the earth shall adore him. All nations will serve him.
12 Na ɔbɛgye mmɔborɔfoɔ a wɔsu frɛ no, ne amanehunufoɔ a wɔnni ɔboafoɔ.
For he will free the poor from the powerful, and the poor one who has no helper.
13 Ɔbɛhunu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛ ne ahiafoɔ mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafoɔ nkwa.
He will spare the poor and the indigent, and he will bring salvation to the souls of the poor.
14 Ɔbɛgye wɔn afiri nhyɛsoɔ ne akakabensɛm mu, ɛfiri sɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
He will redeem their souls from usuries and from iniquity, and their names shall be honorable in his sight.
15 Ɔhene nkwa so! Ma wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ mfiri Seba mmrɛ no. Ma nnipa mmɔ mpaeɛ mma no na wɔnhyira no da mu nyinaa.
And he will live, and to him will be given from the gold of Arabia, and by him they will always adore. They will bless him all day long.
16 Aburoo mmu so wɔ asase no so nyinaa; nnuane mmu so wɔ nkokoɔ so, ma nʼaba mmɔ sɛ Lebanon; na ɛnyini sɛ mfuo so serɛ.
And there will be a firmament on earth, at the summits of mountains: its fruits will be extolled above Lebanon, and those of the city will flourish like the grass of the earth.
17 Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛre sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa ne so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
May his name be blessed forever; may his name remain before the sun. And all the tribes of the earth will be blessed in him. All nations will magnify him.
18 Nhyira nka Awurade Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ.
Blessed is the Lord, God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
19 Nhyira nka ne din a animuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanimuonyam nhyɛ ewiase nyinaa ma.
And blessed is the name of his majesty in eternity. And all the earth will be filled with his majesty. Amen. Amen.
20 Yisai ba Dawid mpaeɛbɔ no awieeɛ nie.
The praises of David, the son of Jesse, have reached an end.
