Psalms 90
1 [A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.] YHWH, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
Onyankopɔn nipa Mose mpaebɔ. Awurade, wo na woayɛ yɛn tenabea awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, 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 destruction, saying, "Return, you descendants of Adam."
Woma adesamma san dan mfutuma, ka se, “Mo adesamma, monsan nkɔ mfutuma mu.”
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
Mfirihyia apem yɛ wʼani so sɛ da koro a abɛsen mprempren, anaasɛ anadwo mu dɔnhwerew kakraa bi.
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
Wopra nnipa kɔ, wɔ owu nna mu; wɔte sɛ sare a afefɛw anɔpa,
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
ɛfefɛw yɛ frɔmfrɔm anɔpa de, nanso anwummere ɛwo na etwintwam.
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
Yɛresa wɔ wʼabufuw ano na wʼanibere abɔ yɛn hu.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
Wode yɛn amumɔyɛ asi wʼanim, na yɛn kokoa mu bɔne da wʼanim hann no mu.
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
Yɛn nna nyinaa twa mu wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu; na yɛde awerɛhowdi na ewie yɛn mfe.
10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes 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, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
Sɛ anka yebehu sɛ wʼabufuw mu tumi te ɛ! Wʼabufuwhyew kɛse te sɛnea wo ho suro te.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Ma yenhu yɛn nna kan sɛnea ɛte, na yɛanya nyansa koma.
13 Relent, YHWH. How long? Have compassion on your servants.
Tɔ wo bo ase, Awurade, enkosi da bɛn? Hu wʼasomfo mmɔbɔ.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad 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 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as 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; your glory to their children.
Ma wʼasomfo nhu wo nneyɛe na wɔn mma nhu wʼanuonyam.
17 Let the favor of YHWH our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, 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.
