Psalms 41
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: 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; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt 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 sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.
Awurade bɛhwɛ no wɔ ne yare mpa so na wagye no asi hɔ.
4 As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto 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 Mine enemies wish me evil: 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 one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [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 that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
Mʼatamfo nyinaa keka asomsɛm fa me ho; wosusuw bɔne ma me na wɔka se:
8 A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.
“Ɔyare bɔne bi abɔ no; ɔrensɔre mfi nea ɔda hɔ bio.”
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath 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, Jehovah, be gracious unto 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 delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
Minim sɛ wʼani sɔ me, na me tamfo renni me so nkonim.
12 But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
Me nokwaredi mu, wukura me mu na wode me gyina wʼanim afebɔɔ.
13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.
Nhyira nka Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, nnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Amen! ne Amen! Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
