1 Salomo dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntenenee ma ɔhene no, na fa wo tenenee ma ɔhene babarima.
A Psalme of Salomon. Give thy iudgements to the King, O God, and thy righteousnesse to the Kings sonne.
2 Ɔde tenenee bɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ atɛn, ɔbɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔrehunu amane no atɛntenenee.
Then shall he iudge thy people in righteousnesse, and thy poore with equitie.
3 Mmepɔ no de yiedie bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkokoɔ no de tenenee bɛba.
The mountaines and the hilles shall bring peace to the people by iustice.
4 Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufoɔ na woagye wɔn a wɔnni bie mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛ nhyɛsofoɔ.
He shall iudge the poore of the people: he shall saue the children of the needie, and shall subdue the oppressor.
5 Owia ne ɔsrane da so wɔ hɔ yi wɔbɛsuro wo awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.
They shall feare thee as long as the sunne and moone endureth, from generatio to generation.
6 Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osuo a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔ soɔ so, te sɛ obosuo a ɛgugu asase so.
He shall come downe like the rayne vpon the mowen grasse, and as the showres that water the earth.
7 Teneneefoɔ bɛnyini frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne berɛ so; yiedie bɛbu so kɔsi da a ɔsrane nni hɔ bio.
In his dayes shall the righteous florish, and abundance of peace shalbe so long as the moone endureth.
8 Ɔbɛdi ɔhene afiri ɛpo akɔsi ɛpo afiri Asubɔnten Efrata akɔsi asase ano.
His dominion shall be also from sea to sea, and from the Riuer vnto the endes of the land.
9 Ɛserɛ so mmusua bɛkoto nʼanim na nʼatamfoɔ adi mfuturo.
They that dwell in ye wildernes, shall kneele before him, and his enemies shall licke the dust.
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 of the yles shall bring presents: the Kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring giftes.
11 Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkoto no amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
Yea, all Kings shall worship him: all nations shall serue him.
12 Na ɔbɛgye mmɔborɔfoɔ a wɔsu frɛ no, ne amanehunufoɔ a wɔnni ɔboafoɔ.
For he shall deliuer the poore when he cryeth: the needie also, and him that hath no helper.
13 Ɔbɛhunu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛ ne ahiafoɔ mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafoɔ nkwa.
He shalbe mercifull to the poore and needie, and shall preserue the soules of the poore.
14 Ɔbɛgye wɔn afiri nhyɛsoɔ ne akakabensɛm mu, ɛfiri sɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
He shall redeeme their soules from deceite and violence, and deare shall their blood be 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.
Yea, he shall liue, and vnto him shall they giue of the golde of Sheba: they shall also pray for him continually, and dayly blesse him.
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.
An handfull of corne shall be sowen in the earth, euen in the toppe of the mountaines, and the fruite thereof shall shake like the trees of Lebanon: and the children shall florish out of the citie like the grasse of the earth.
17 Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛre sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa ne so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
His name shall be for euer: his name shall indure as long as the sunne: all nations shall blesse him, and be blessed in him.
18 Nhyira nka Awurade Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ.
Blessed be the Lord God, euen the God of Israel, which onely doeth wonderous things.
19 Nhyira nka ne din a animuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanimuonyam nhyɛ ewiase nyinaa ma.
And blessed be his glorious Name for euer: and let all the earth be filled with his glorie. So be it, euen so be it.
