Psalms 42
1 To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
Kora mma “maskil” dwom. Sɛdeɛ ɔforoteɛ pere hwehwɛ nsuwansuwa no, saa ara na me kra pere hwehwɛ wo, Ao Onyankopɔn.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
Onyankopɔn ho sukɔm de me kra, Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no. Da bɛn na mɛtumi akɔhyia Onyankopɔn?
3 My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Me nisuo ayɛ mʼaduane awia ne anadwo, na da mu nyinaa nnipa bisa me sɛ: “Wo Onyankopɔn wɔ he?”
4 These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.
Saa nneɛma yi na mekae ɛberɛ a mereka mʼakoma mu nsɛm; sɛdeɛ na medi asafokuo anim, na yɛde anigyeɛ nteateam ne aseda nnwom nante yuu bom kɔ Onyankopɔn fie wɔ afahyɛ da.
5 Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.
Adɛn enti na woaboto, Ao me kra? Adɛn enti na woteetee wɔ me mu saa? Fa wo ho to Onyankopɔn so, na mɛkɔ so ayi no ayɛ, mʼAgyenkwa ne me Onyankopɔn.
6 My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.
Me kra aboto wɔ me mu enti mɛkae wo firi Yordan asase so, Hermon mmepɔ so, firi Bepɔ Misar so.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
Ebunu kɔ ebunu mu wɔ wo nsuo a ɛworo guo no nnyegyeeɛ mu; wʼasorɔkye nyinaa abu afa me so.
8 In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the God of my life.
Adekyeɛ mu Awurade kyerɛ nʼadɔeɛ; adesaeɛ mu ne dwom ba me nkyɛn. Mebɔ mpaeɛ kyerɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔma me nkwa.
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Mebisa Onyankopɔn me Botan sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wo werɛ afiri me? Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ menantenante twa adwo, mʼatamfoɔ nhyɛsoɔ nti?”
10 As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Me nnompe te yea sɛ ɔdasani. Mʼahohiahiafoɔ ateeteeɛ enti, daa nyinaa wɔbisa me sɛ, “Wo Onyankopɔn wɔ he?”
11 Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
Adɛn enti na woaboto, Ao me kra? Adɛn enti na woteetee wɔ me mu saa? Fa wo ho to Onyankopɔn so, na mɛkɔ so ayi no ayɛ, mʼAgyenkwa ne me Onyankopɔn.
