Psalms 69
1 To him that excelleth upon Shoshannim. A Psalme of David. Save mee, O God: for the waters are entred euen to my soule.
Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔto no sɛ “Sukooko.” Dawid dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, gye me nkwa na nsuo no abɛdeda me kɔn mu.
2 I sticke fast in the deepe myre, where no staie is: I am come into deepe waters, and the streames runne ouer me.
Meremem wɔ atɛkyɛ a emu dɔ mu, wɔ baabi a me nan nnya siberɛ. Maduru subunu mu na nsuo abu afa me so.
3 I am wearie of crying: my throte is drie: mine eyes faile, whiles I waite for my God.
Mafrɛ mabrɛ sɛ mepɛ mmoa. Me mene mu awe. Mʼani so ayɛ kusuu, na merehwehwɛ me Onyankopɔn.
4 They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the heares of mine heade: they that would destroy mee, and are mine enemies falsly, are mightie, so that I restored that which I tooke not.
Wɔn a wɔtane me kwa no dɔɔso sene me tiri so nwi; wɔn a wɔtane me kwa no dɔɔso, wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ sɛ wɔbɛsɛe me no. Wɔhyɛ me sɛ mennane deɛ menwiaaɛ no mma.
5 O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse, and my fautes are not hid from thee.
Ao Onyankopɔn, wonim me kwasea a mayɛ; mʼafɔdie nhintaa wo.
6 Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for me: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded through mee, O God of Israel.
Mma wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to wo so no anim ngu ase ɛsiane me enti, Ao Awurade, Asafo Awurade; mma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wo no anim ngu ase me enti, Ao Israel Onyankopɔn.
7 For thy sake haue I suffred reproofe: shame hath couered my face.
Wo enti wobu me animtiaa, na aniwuo akata mʼanim.
8 I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, euen an aliant vnto my mothers sonnes.
Mete sɛ ɔhɔhoɔ wɔ me nuanom mu, mete sɛ ɔmamfrani wɔ me maame mmammarima mu,
9 For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee, and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.
na wo fie ho mmɔdemmɔ hyɛ me so, wɔn a wɔbɔ wo ahohora no animtiabuo abɛda me so.
10 I wept and my soule fasted, but that was to my reproofe.
Sɛ metwa adwo na medi mmuada a wɔbɔ me ahohora;
11 I put on a sacke also: and I became a prouerbe vnto them.
sɛ mefira ayitoma a nnipa de me yɛ aseredeɛ.
12 They that sate in the gate, spake of mee, and the drunkards sang of me.
Wɔn a wɔtete ɛpono no ano no sere me, na akɔwensafoɔ de me din to dwom.
13 But Lord, I make my praier vnto thee in an acceptable time, euen in the multitude of thy mercie: O God, heare me in the trueth of thy saluation.
Nanso mɛbɔ wo mpaeɛ, Ao Awurade, wɔ wʼadom berɛ mu; wɔ wʼadɔeɛ kɛseɛ no enti, Ao Onyankopɔn, fa wo nokorɛ nkwagyeɛ no gye me so.
14 Deliuer mee out of the myre, that I sinke not: let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.
Yi me firi atɛkyɛ no mu, mma memmem wɔ mu; gye me firi wɔn a wɔtane me no nsam, ne nsu bunu mu.
15 Let not the water flood drowne mee, neither let the deepe swallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.
Mma nsuo nnyiri mfa me anaa ebunu mmene me anaa amena nkata me so.
16 Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.
Ao Awurade, gye me so firi wʼadɔeɛ a ɛyɛ no mu; wʼadom enti, dane bɛhwɛ me.
17 And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.
Mfa wʼanim nhinta wo ɔsomfoɔ; gye me so ntɛm, na mewɔ ɔhaw mu.
18 Draw neere vnto my soule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.
Twi bɛn me na gye me; gye me nkwa, mʼatamfoɔ enti.
19 Thou hast knowen my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine aduersaries are before thee.
Wonim sɛdeɛ wɔkasa tia me, gu mʼanim ase na wɔtiatia mʼanim; wʼani tua mʼatamfoɔ nyinaa.
20 Rebuke hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heauinesse, and I looked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none.
Kasatia ahyɛ mʼakoma so ama mayɛ sɛ obi a ɔnni ɔboafoɔ; mepɛɛ awerɛkyekyerɛ nanso mannya bi, mepɛɛ ɔwerɛkyekyefoɔ, nanso manhunu bi.
21 For they gaue me gall in my meate, and in my thirst they gaue me vineger to drinke.
Wɔde bɔnwoma guu mʼaduane mu, osukɔm dee me no, wɔmaa me nsã nwononwono.
22 Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.
Ma wɔn didipono a ɛsi wɔn anim nyi wɔn sɛ afidie; ma ɛnyɛ akatua ne afidie mma wɔn.
23 Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their loynes alway to tremble.
Ma wɔn ani so nyɛ wɔn kusuu na wɔanhunu adeɛ, na ma wɔn akyi nkuntunu afebɔɔ.
24 Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.
Hwie wʼabufuhyeɛ gu wɔn so; na ma wʼabofuo huuhuuhu no mmra wɔn so.
25 Let their habitation be voide, and let none dwell in their tents.
Ma wɔn atenaeɛ nyɛ amamfo; mma obiara ntena wɔn ntomadan mu.
26 For they persecute him, whome thou hast smitten: and they adde vnto the sorrowe of them, whome thou hast wounded.
Wɔtaa wɔn a wopira wɔn no, wɔka wɔn a wopira wɔn no amanehunu ho asɛm.
27 Laie iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.
Fa amumuyɛ mu amumuyɛ ho soboɔ bɔ wɔn; mma wɔnnya wo nkwagyeɛ mu kyɛfa.
28 Let them be put out of the booke of life, neither let them be written with the righteous.
Pepa wɔn din firi nkwa nwoma no mu, mfa wɔn din nka ateneneefoɔ deɛ ho.
29 When I am poore and in heauinesse, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.
Mewɔ ɔyea ne ahohiahia mu; Ao Onyankopɔn, ma wo nkwagyeɛ no mmɔ me ho ban.
30 I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.
Mede dwomtoɔ bɛyi Onyankopɔn din ayɛ na mede aseda ahyɛ no animuonyam.
31 This also shall please the Lord better then a yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.
Yei bɛsɔ Awurade ani yie asene nantwie, asene nantwinini a ɔtua mmɛn na ɔwɔ tɔte.
32 The humble shall see this, and they that seeke God, shalbe glad, and your heart shall liue.
Mmɔborɔni bɛhunu na nʼani agye, mo a mohwehwɛ Onyankopɔn no akoma bɛnya nkwa.
33 For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.
Awurade tie wɔn a adeɛ ahia wɔn, na ɔmmu ne nkurɔfoɔ nneduafoɔ animtiaa.
34 Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas and all that moueth in them.
Ma ɔsoro ne asase nkamfo no, ɛpo ne deɛ ɛkeka ne ho wɔ mu nyinaa,
35 For God will saue Zion, and builde the cities of Iudah, that men may dwell there and haue it in possession.
ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛgye Sion nkwa na wakyekyere Yuda nkuropɔn no bio. Afei nnipa bɛtena mu na ayɛ wɔn dea;
36 The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name, shall dwel therein.
Nʼasomfoɔ asefoɔ na wɔbɛfa hɔ, na wɔn a wɔdɔ ne din no bɛtena hɔ.
