Psalms 90
1 A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast bene our habitation from generation to generation.
Onyankopɔn nipa Mose mpaebɔ. Awurade, wo na woayɛ yɛn tenabea awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
2 Before the mountaines were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art our God.
Ansa na wɔrebɛbɔ mmepɔw anaasɛ worebɛda asase ne wiase adi no, na woyɛ Onyankopɔn fi mmeresanten kosi mmeresanten.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction: againe thou sayest, Returne, ye sonnes of Adam.
Woma adesamma san dan mfutuma, ka se, “Mo adesamma, monsan nkɔ mfutuma mu.”
4 For a thousande yeeres in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Mfirihyia apem yɛ wʼani so sɛ da koro a abɛsen mprempren, anaasɛ anadwo mu dɔnhwerew kakraa bi.
5 Thou hast ouerflowed them: they are as a sleepe: in the morning he groweth like the grasse:
Wopra nnipa kɔ, wɔ owu nna mu; wɔte sɛ sare a afefɛw anɔpa,
6 In the morning it florisheth and groweth, but in the euening it is cut downe and withereth.
ɛfefɛw yɛ frɔmfrɔm anɔpa de, nanso anwummere ɛwo na etwintwam.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Yɛresa wɔ wʼabufuw ano na wʼanibere abɔ yɛn hu.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance.
Wode yɛn amumɔyɛ asi wʼanim, na yɛn kokoa mu bɔne da wʼanim hann no mu.
9 For all our dayes are past in thine anger: we haue spent our yeeres as a thought.
Yɛn nna nyinaa twa mu wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu; na yɛde awerɛhowdi na ewie yɛn mfe.
10 The time of our life is threescore yeeres and ten, and if they be of strength, fourescore yeeres: yet their strength is but labour and sorowe: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
Yɛn nkwa nna si mfe aduɔson, anaasɛ aduɔwɔtwe, sɛ yɛwɔ ahoɔden a; na mu ahohoahoade yɛ ɔhaw ne awerɛhow, na etwa mu ntɛmntɛm, na yetu kɔ.
11 Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy feare is thine anger.
Sɛ anka yebehu sɛ wʼabufuw mu tumi te ɛ! Wʼabufuwhyew kɛse te sɛnea wo ho suro te.
12 Teach vs so to nomber our dayes, that we may apply our heartes vnto wisdome.
Ma yenhu yɛn nna kan sɛnea ɛte, na yɛanya nyansa koma.
13 Returne (O Lord, howe long?) and be pacified toward thy seruants.
Tɔ wo bo ase, Awurade, enkosi da bɛn? Hu wʼasomfo mmɔbɔ.
14 Fill vs with thy mercie in the morning: so shall we reioyce and be glad all our dayes.
Ma wʼadɔe a ɛnsa da no mmee yɛn adekyee mu, na yɛde anigye ato dwom adi ahurusi yɛn nna nyinaa mu.
15 Comfort vs according to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs, and according to the yeeres that we haue seene euill.
Ma yɛn ani nnye nna bebree sɛ nna dodow a wode yɛn kɔɔ amanehunu mu no, sɛ mfirihyia dodow a yehuu ateetee no.
16 Let thy worke bee seene towarde thy seruants, and thy glory vpon their children.
Ma wʼasomfo nhu wo nneyɛe na wɔn mma nhu wʼanuonyam.
17 And let the beautie of the Lord our God be vpon vs, and direct thou the worke of our hands vpon vs, euen direct the worke of our handes.
Ma Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn adom no ntena yɛn so; na yɛn nsa ano adwuma nyɛ yiye mma yɛn; yiw, ma yɛn nsa ano adwuma nyɛ yiye.
