Psalms 118
1 Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Monna Awurade ase efisɛ oye, na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.
2 Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
Momma Israel nka se, “Nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.”
3 Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
Momma Aaronfi nka se, “Nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.”
4 Now let those who fear YHWH say that his loving kindness endures forever.
Momma wɔn a wosuro Awurade nka se, “Nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.”
5 Out of my distress, I called on JAH. JAH answered me with freedom.
Mʼahohia mu, misu frɛɛ Awurade; ogyee me so, na ɔma me dee me ho.
6 YHWH is my helper; I will not fear. What can humans do to me?
Awurade ne me boafo; enti merensuro. Dɛn na onipa betumi ayɛ me?
7 YHWH is my helper; and I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
Awurade ne me wɔ hɔ; ɔyɛ me boafo. Mede nkonimdi bɛhwɛ mʼatamfo.
8 It is better to take refuge in YHWH, than to put confidence in man.
Eye sɛ yebehintaw wɔ Awurade mu, sen sɛ yɛde yɛn ho bɛto onipa so.
9 It is better to take refuge in YHWH, than to put confidence in princes.
Eye sɛ yebehintaw Awurade mu, sen sɛ yɛde yɛn ho bɛto mmapɔmma so.
10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of YHWH, I cut them off.
Amanaman no nyinaa twaa me ho hyiae, nanso Awurade din mu mitwitwaa wɔn gui.
11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of YHWH I indeed cut them off.
Wotwaa me ho hyiaa wɔ baabiara, nanso Awurade din mu, mitwitwaa wɔn gui.
12 They surrounded me like bees. They blazed like a fire among thorns. In the name of YHWH I cut them off.
Wɔkyere guu me so sɛ nnowa, nanso wɔhyew ntɛm so sɛ nsɔe a ogya atɔ mu; Awurade din mu mitwitwaa wɔn gui.
13 I was pushed hard, to make me fall, but YHWH helped me.
Wosum me kɔɔ mʼakyi a anka mereyɛ ahwe ase, nanso Awurade boaa me.
14 JAH is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
Awurade yɛ mʼahoɔden ne me bammɔ; wayɛ me nkwagye.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of YHWH does valiantly.
Osebɔ ne nkonimdi gyigye wɔ atreneefo ntamadan mu se, “Awurade nsa nifa ayɛ nneɛma akɛse!
16 The right hand of YHWH is exalted. The right hand of YHWH does valiantly."
Wɔama Awurade nsa nifa so; Awurade nsa nifa ayɛ nneɛma akɛse!”
17 I will not die, but live, and declare the works of JAH.
Merenwu, mmom mɛtena ase na mapae mu aka nea Awurade ayɛ.
18 JAH has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
Awurade atwe mʼaso dennen, nanso onyaa me mmaa owu ɛ.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them and praise JAH.
Bue trenee apon ma me; na mɛhyɛn mu na mede aseda ama Awurade.
20 This is the gate of YHWH; the righteous will enter into it.
Awurade ponkɛse ni; ɛhɔ na atreneefo bɛfa ahyɛn mu.
21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.
Mɛda wo ase, efisɛ wugyee me so; na woayɛ me nkwagye.
22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
Ɔbo a adansifo no poe no, abɛyɛ tweatibo.
23 This is YHWH's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
Awurade na wayɛ eyi, na ɛyɛ nwonwa wɔ yɛn ani so.
24 This is the day that YHWH has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Nnɛ yɛ da a Awurade ayɛ. Momma yɛn ani nnye na yenni ahurusi.
25 Save us now, we beg you, YHWH. YHWH, we beg you, send prosperity now.
Awurade, gye yɛn nkwa; Awurade, ma yɛn nkonimdi.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of YHWH. We have blessed you out of the house of YHWH.
Nhyira ne nea ɔnam Awurade din mu reba. Yehyira wo fi Awurade fi.
27 YHWH is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn, na wama ne hann ahyerɛn yɛn so. Momfa nnua mman nkura na yɛnto afɔrebɔ santen nkɔ afɔremuka no mmɛn ho.
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.
Woyɛ me Nyankopɔn na meyi wo ayɛ; wone me Nyankopɔn na mɛma wo so.
29 Oh give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Monna Awurade ase, efisɛ oye; na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.
