Psalms 52
1 [For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."] Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoo bere a Edomni Doeg bɛka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Dawid akɔ Ahimelek fi” no. Ɔkɛse, adɛn nti na wohoahoa wo ho wɔ wo bɔne ho? Adɛn nti na wohoahoa wo ho da mu nyinaa, wo a woyɛ animguasede wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so?
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Wo tɛkrɛma bɔ ɔsɛe ho pɔw; ɛte sɛ oyiwan a ano yɛ nam yiye. Wo a wutwa nkontompo nko ara.
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)
Wʼani gye bɔne ho sen papa, wopɛ atoro sen sɛ wobɛka nokware.
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
Wodɔ asɛm biara a ɛde ɔhaw ba, wo tɛkrɛma daadaafo!
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Ampa ara Onyankopɔn de ɔsɛe a enni awiei bɛbrɛ wo; ɔbɛtwe wo afi wo ntamadan mu na watetew wo mu; Ɔbɛtɔre wʼase wɔ ateasefo asase so.
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
Atreneefo behu eyi na wɔasuro; wɔbɛserew no na wɔaka se,
7 "Look, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."
“Hwɛ, onipa no ni, nea wamfa Onyankopɔn anyɛ nʼabandennen na mmom ɔde ne ho too nʼahonya dodow so, na onyaa ahoɔden de sɛee afoforo no!”
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness forever and ever.
Nanso mete sɛ ngodua a ɛrenyin wɔ Onyankopɔn fi: mede me ho to Onyankopɔn dɔ a ɛnsa da no so daa nyinaa.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
Meyi wo ayɛ daa wɔ nea woayɛ nti; wo din so na mʼani bɛda, efisɛ eye. Meyi wo ayɛ wɔ wʼahotefo anim.
