Nnwom 76

1 Asaf dwom. Wɔnim Onyankopɔn wɔ Yuda; ne din so wɔ Israel.

Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

2 Ne ntomadan si Salem, ne tenaberɛ wɔ Sion.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

3 Ɛhɔ na ɔbubuu mmemma a ɛte ogya, ɛkyɛm ne akofena, akodeɛ nyinaa mu.

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

4 Wo ho hann no hyerɛn, na wo so sene mmepɔ a mmoadoma ahyɛ mu ma no.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5 Mmarima akokoɔdurufoɔ deda hɔ a wɔagye wɔn ho nneɛma, wɔadeda awufoɔ nna; na akofoɔ no mu baako mpo ntumi mpagya ne nsa.

All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 Ao Yakob Onyankopɔn, wokaa wɔn anim no apɔnkɔ no ne nteaseɛnam no adeda dinn.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

7 Wo nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsuro woɔ. Sɛ wo bo fu a, hwan na ɔbɛtumi agyina wʼanim?

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

8 Wobuu atɛn firii soro, asase suroeɛ na ɛyɛɛ dinn,

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

9 ɛberɛ a wosɔre buu atɛn, Ao Onyankopɔn, de gyee amanehunufoɔ wɔ asase no so.

When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

10 Ampa ara wʼabufuhyeɛ a ɛtia nnipa no de ayɛyie brɛ wo, na wɔn a wɔtumi gyina ano no nya kɔkɔbɔ.

For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

11 Monhyɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn no bɔ na monni so; momma nsase a atwa ne ho ahyia mfa ayɛyɛdeɛ mmrɛ Ɔbaako a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsuro noɔ no.

Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

12 Ɔbrɛ sodifoɔ honhom ase; na asase so ahemfo suro no. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde ma Yedutun.

Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
