Psalms 41
1 Blessed is he who considers a poor man. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne onipa a mmɔborɔni asɛm ho hia no; Awurade gye no wɔ amanehunu bere mu.
2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth. And thou do not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
Awurade bɛbɔ ne ho ban na wakora ne kra; obehyira no wɔ asase no so; ɔrennyaa no mma nʼatamfo apɛde.
3 Jehovah will support him upon the bed of languishing. Thou will make all his bed in his sickness.
Awurade bɛhwɛ no wɔ ne yare mpa so na wagye no asi hɔ.
4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
Mekae se, “Ao Awurade hu me mmɔbɔ; sa me yare, efisɛ mayɛ bɔne atia wo.”
5 My enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?
Mʼatamfo de adwene bɔne ka fa me ho se: “Da bɛn na obewu ama ne din ayera?”
6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
Bere biara a obi ba me nkyɛn no, ɔka atosɛm, na ne koma hɔre dinsɛe; ofi adi kɔ a, ɔde kodi nseku.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me. Against me they devise my hurt.
Mʼatamfo nyinaa keka asomsɛm fa me ho; wosusuw bɔne ma me na wɔka se:
8 An evil disease, they say, clings firm to him. And now that he lies he shall rise up no more.
“Ɔyare bɔne bi abɔ no; ɔrensɔre mfi nea ɔda hɔ bio.”
9 Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
Mpo me yɔnko pa ara a mede me ho too no so, nea me ne no too nsa didii no, asɔre atia me.
10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.
Nanso wo, Awurade, hu me mmɔbɔ; ma me so, na mintua wɔn so ka.
11 By this I know that thou delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.
Minim sɛ wʼani sɔ me, na me tamfo renni me so nkonim.
12 And as for me, thou uphold me in my integrity, and set me before thy face forever.
Me nokwaredi mu, wukura me mu na wode me gyina wʼanim afebɔɔ.
13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Truly, and Truly.
Nhyira nka Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, nnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Amen! ne Amen! Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
