Psalms 90
1 A PRAYER OF MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD. Lord, You have been a habitation, To us—in generation and generation,
Onyankopɔn nipa Mose mpaebɔ. Awurade, wo na woayɛ yɛn tenabea awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
2 Before mountains were brought forth, And You form the earth and the world, Even from age to age You [are] God.
Ansa na wɔrebɛbɔ mmepɔw anaasɛ worebɛda asase ne wiase adi no, na woyɛ Onyankopɔn fi mmeresanten kosi mmeresanten.
3 You turn man to a bruised thing, And say, Return, you sons of men.
Woma adesamma san dan mfutuma, ka se, “Mo adesamma, monsan nkɔ mfutuma mu.”
4 For one thousand years in Your eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passes on, indeed, [as] a watch by night.
Mfirihyia apem yɛ wʼani so sɛ da koro a abɛsen mprempren, anaasɛ anadwo mu dɔnhwerew kakraa bi.
5 You have inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning he changes as grass.
Wopra nnipa kɔ, wɔ owu nna mu; wɔte sɛ sare a afefɛw anɔpa,
6 In the morning it flourishes, and has changed, At evening it is cut down, and has withered.
ɛfefɛw yɛ frɔmfrɔm anɔpa de, nanso anwummere ɛwo na etwintwam.
7 For we were consumed in Your anger, And we have been troubled in Your fury.
Yɛresa wɔ wʼabufuw ano na wʼanibere abɔ yɛn hu.
8 You have set our iniquities before You, Our hidden things at the light of Your face,
Wode yɛn amumɔyɛ asi wʼanim, na yɛn kokoa mu bɔne da wʼanim hann no mu.
9 For all our days pined away in Your wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
Yɛn nna nyinaa twa mu wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu; na yɛde awerɛhowdi na ewie yɛn mfe.
10 The days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet their enlargement [is] labor and vanity, For it has been cut off quickly, and we fly 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 knows the power of Your anger? And according to Your fear—Your wrath?
Sɛ anka yebehu sɛ wʼabufuw mu tumi te ɛ! Wʼabufuwhyew kɛse te sɛnea wo ho suro te.
12 Let [us] know to number our days correctly, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
Ma yenhu yɛn nna kan sɛnea ɛte, na yɛanya nyansa koma.
13 Turn back, O YHWH, until when? And regret concerning Your servants.
Tɔ wo bo ase, Awurade, enkosi da bɛn? Hu wʼasomfo mmɔbɔ.
14 Satisfy us at morning [with] Your kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
Ma wʼadɔe a ɛnsa da no mmee yɛn adekyee mu, na yɛde anigye ato dwom adi ahurusi yɛn nna nyinaa mu.
15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein You have afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
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 Your work appear to Your servants, And Your honor on their sons.
Ma wʼasomfo nhu wo nneyɛe na wɔn mma nhu wʼanuonyam.
17 And let the pleasantness of our God YHWH be on us, And establish on us the work of our hands, Indeed, establish the work of our hands!
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.
