Psalms 19
1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
Dawid dwom. Ɔsoro ka Onyankopɔn animuonyam ho asɛm! Ewiem pae mu ka ne nsa ano adwuma,
2 Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
Ɛda biara, wɔkasa; anadwo biara, wɔkyerɛ nimdeɛ.
3 There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.
Ɔkasa anaa nsɛm nnim na wɔnnte wɔn nne.
4 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
Nanso wɔn asɛm akɔduru asase so mmaa nyinaa, wɔn nsɛm nso akɔduru asase ano. Wɔ ɔsoro hɔ, wasi ntomadan ama owia,
5 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:
a ɔte sɛ ayeforɔkunu a ɔfiri ne pia mu, te sɛ ɔbrane a ne ho pere no sɛ ɔbɛtu ne mmirika.
6 His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
Ɛpue wɔ ɔsoro fa baabi na atwa ne ho akɔsi ano; biribiara nhinta ne hyeɛ.
7 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
Awurade mmara yɛ pɛ, ɛkanyane ɔkra no. Ahotosoɔ wɔ Awurade nhyehyɛeɛ mu, ɛma deɛ ɔnnim nyansa hunu nyansa.
8 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
Awurade ahyɛdeɛ tene; ɛma akoma mu anigyeɛ. Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm mu da hɔ; na ɛbue ani.
9 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
Awurade suro yɛ kronn, ɛte hɔ daa. Awurade mmaransɛm yɛ nokorɛ na ne nyinaa tene.
10 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
Ɛsom bo sene sikakɔkɔɔ sene sikakɔkɔɔ amapa mpo; ɛyɛ dɛ sene ɛwoɔ, sene ɛwoɔ a ɛfiri ɛwokyɛm mu.
11 For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
Wɔnam so bɔ wo ɔsomfoɔ kɔkɔ sɛ, ɛsodie so akatua yɛ bebree.
12 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:
Hwan na ɔhunu nʼankasa mfomsoɔ? Fa me mfomsoɔ a ahinta kyɛ me.
13 And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
Bɔ wʼakoa ho ban firi ɔboayɛ bɔne ho, na anhyɛ me so. Ɛno na ɛbɛma madi bem, a merenni fɔ wɔ bɔne akɛseɛ ho.
14 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.
Ma mʼanom nsɛm ne mʼakoma mu mpaeɛbɔ nyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ wʼani, Ao Awurade me Botan ne me Gyefoɔ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
