Psalms 116
1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
Medɔ Awurade efisɛ, ɔtee me nne. Ɔtee me mmɔborɔsu.
2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.
Esiane sɛ ɔbrɛɛ nʼaso ase maa me nti, mɛfrɛ no wɔ bere a mete ase yi.
3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)
Owu ahama bebaree me, ɔda ho yawdi baa me so, ɔhaw ne awerɛhow hyɛɛ me so. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
Afei mebɔɔ Awurade din kae se, “Awurade, gye me nkwa!”
5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.
Awurade yɛ ɔdomfo ne ɔtreneeni; ayamhyehye ahyɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn ma.
6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
Awurade bɔ ɔwɛmfo ho ban; bere a mewɔ ahohia mu no, ogyee me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Nya abotɔyam bio, me kra, efisɛ Awurade ne wo adi no yiye.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
Na wo, Awurade, woagye me kra afi owu mu; woamma mʼani amporow nisu, na woamma mʼanan anhintiw
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
sɛ mɛnantew Awurade anim wɔ ateasefo asase so.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.
Migye dii; ɛno nti mekae se, “Mewɔ ahohia kɛse mu.”
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
Na mʼahokyere mu mekae se, “Nnipa nyinaa yɛ atorofo.”
12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?
Dɛn na metumi de atua Awurade ka wɔ ne papa a wayɛ me nyinaa?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
Mɛma nkwagye kuruwa no so na mabɔ Awurade din.
14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.
Medi bɔ a mahyɛ Awurade no nyinaa so wɔ ne nkurɔfo nyinaa anim.
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.
Awurade nkoa nokwafo wu som bo wɔ Awurade ani so.
16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
Awurade, ampa ara meyɛ wo somfo; meyɛ wo somfo, wʼafenaa babarima; woayi me afi me mpokyerɛ mu.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
Mɛbɔ aseda afɔre ama wo na mabɔ Awurade din.
18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,
Medi me ntam a maka Awurade no so wɔ ne nkurɔfo nyinaa anim,
19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
wɔ adiwo a ɛwɔ Awurade fi no, wɔ wʼanim, Yerusalem. Monkamfo Awurade.
