Psalms 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Dawid dwom. Ɔsoro ka Onyankopɔn animuonyam ho asɛm! Ewiem pae mu ka ne nsa ano adwuma,
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Ɛda biara, wɔkasa; anadwo biara, wɔkyerɛ nimdeɛ.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Ɔkasa anaa nsɛm nnim na wɔnnte wɔn nne.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Nanso wɔn asɛm akɔduru asase so mmaa nyinaa, wɔn nsɛm nso akɔduru asase ano. Wɔ ɔsoro hɔ, wasi ntomadan ama owia,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
a ɔte sɛ ayeforɔkunu a ɔfiri ne pia mu, te sɛ ɔbrane a ne ho pere no sɛ ɔbɛtu ne mmirika.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Ɛpue wɔ ɔsoro fa baabi na atwa ne ho akɔsi ano; biribiara nhinta ne hyeɛ.
7 The law of Yhwh is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of Yhwh is sure, making wise the simple.
Awurade mmara yɛ pɛ, ɛkanyane ɔkra no. Ahotosoɔ wɔ Awurade nhyehyɛeɛ mu, ɛma deɛ ɔnnim nyansa hunu nyansa.
8 The statutes of Yhwh are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of Yhwh is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Awurade ahyɛdeɛ tene; ɛma akoma mu anigyeɛ. Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm mu da hɔ; na ɛbue ani.
9 The fear of Yhwh is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of Yhwh are true and righteous altogether.
Awurade suro yɛ kronn, ɛte hɔ daa. Awurade mmaransɛm yɛ nokorɛ na ne nyinaa tene.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Ɛsom bo sene sikakɔkɔɔ sene sikakɔkɔɔ amapa mpo; ɛyɛ dɛ sene ɛwoɔ, sene ɛwoɔ a ɛfiri ɛwokyɛm mu.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Wɔnam so bɔ wo ɔsomfoɔ kɔkɔ sɛ, ɛsodie so akatua yɛ bebree.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret sins.
Hwan na ɔhunu nʼankasa mfomsoɔ? Fa me mfomsoɔ a ahinta kyɛ me.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
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 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Yhwh, my strength, and my redeemer.
Ma mʼanom nsɛm ne mʼakoma mu mpaeɛbɔ nyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ wʼani, Ao Awurade me Botan ne me Gyefoɔ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
