Nnwom 83
1 Asaf Dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, ntena hɔ komm; mmua wʼano, Ao Onyankopɔn, keka wo ho.
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wʼatamfoɔ keka wɔn ho fa, na wɔn a wɔmpɛ wʼasɛm nso ama wɔn tiri so.
For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
3 Wɔde anifire repam atia wo nkurɔfoɔ wɔrepam atia wɔn a wʼakoma da wɔn so no.
They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
4 Wɔka sɛ, “Mommra na yɛnsɛe wɔn sɛ ɔman, sɛdeɛ wɔrenkae Israel din bio.”
They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'
5 Wɔde adwene korɔ bɔ pɔ; na wɔpam tia wo,
For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;
6 Edom ntomadan ne Ismaelfoɔ, Moabfoɔ ne Hagarfoɔ,
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
7 Gebalfoɔ ne Amonfoɔ ne Amalekfoɔ, Filistifoɔ ne Tirofoɔ.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Asiria mpo akɔka wɔn ho de wɔn ahoɔden akɔhyɛ Lot asefoɔ deɛ mu kena.
Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Yɛ wɔn sɛdeɛ woyɛɛ Midian sɛdeɛ woyɛɛ Sisera ne Yabin wɔ asubɔnten Kison ho no,
Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
10 wɔn a wɔsɛee wɔ En-Dor na wɔdanee nwira no.
Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
11 Yɛ wɔn atitire sɛ Oreb ne Seeb, ne wɔn mmapɔmma nyinaa sɛ Seba ne Salmuna,
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
12 a wɔkaa sɛ, “Momma yɛmfa Onyankopɔn adidibea nsase no.”
Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
13 Ao me Onyankopɔn, yɛ wɔn sɛ twahoframa mu mfuturo, sɛ ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ guo.
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
14 Sɛdeɛ ogya hye kwaeɛ, na ogyaframa sɔ nkokoɔ mu hye no no,
As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
15 saa ara na fa wʼahum taa wɔn na fa wo mframa a ano yɛ den no hunahuna wɔn.
So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
16 Ma animguaseɛ nka wɔn, na ama nnipa apɛ wo din akyiri ɛkwan, Ao Awurade.
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
17 Ma wɔn anim ngu ase na wɔn abasa mu ntu; ma wɔnwuwu wɔ animguaseɛ mu.
Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
18 Ma wɔnhunu sɛ wo a wo din de Awurade no, wo nko ara ne Ɔsorosoroni wɔ asase so nyinaa. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no wɔ gittit sankuo nne so.
That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
