Psalms 41
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him Who is acting wisely to the poor, In a day of evil YHWH delivers him.
Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne onipa a mmɔborɔni asɛm ho hia no; Awurade gye no wɔ amanehunu bere mu.
2 YHWH preserves him and revives him, He is blessed in the land, And You do not give him into the will of his enemies.
Awurade bɛbɔ ne ho ban na wakora ne kra; obehyira no wɔ asase no so; ɔrennyaa no mma nʼatamfo apɛde.
3 YHWH supports [him] on a bed of sickness, You have turned his bed in his weakness.
Awurade bɛhwɛ no wɔ ne yare mpa so na wagye no asi hɔ.
4 I said, “O YHWH, favor me, Heal my soul, for I sinned against You,”
Mekae se, “Ao Awurade hu me mmɔbɔ; sa me yare, efisɛ mayɛ bɔne atia wo.”
5 My enemies say evil of me: When he dies—his name has perished!
Mʼatamfo de adwene bɔne ka fa me ho se: “Da bɛn na obewu ama ne din ayera?”
6 And if he came to see—he speaks vanity, His heart gathers iniquity to itself, He goes out—at the street he speaks.
Bere biara a obi ba me nkyɛn no, ɔka atosɛm, na ne koma hɔre dinsɛe; ofi adi kɔ a, ɔde kodi nseku.
7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
Mʼatamfo nyinaa keka asomsɛm fa me ho; wosusuw bɔne ma me na wɔka se:
8 A worthless thing is poured out on him, And because he lay down he does not rise again.
“Ɔyare bɔne bi abɔ no; ɔrensɔre mfi nea ɔda hɔ bio.”
9 Even my ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, Made the heel great against me,
Mpo me yɔnko pa ara a mede me ho too no so, nea me ne no too nsa didii no, asɔre atia me.
10 And You, YHWH, favor me, And cause me to rise, And I give repayment to them.
Nanso wo, Awurade, hu me mmɔbɔ; ma me so, na mintua wɔn so ka.
11 By this I have known, That You have delighted in me, Because my enemy does not shout over me.
Minim sɛ wʼani sɔ me, na me tamfo renni me so nkonim.
12 As for me, in my integrity, You have taken hold on me, And cause me to stand before You for all time.
Me nokwaredi mu, wukura me mu na wode me gyina wʼanim afebɔɔ.
13 Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age to age. Amen and Amen.
Nhyira nka Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, nnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Amen! ne Amen! Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
