Psalms 32
1 Of David. A maskil. Happy those whose transgression is pardoned, whose sin is covered.
Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn amumɔyɛ akyɛ wɔn, na wɔakata wɔn bɔne so.
2 Happy are those, free from falseness of spirit, to whom the Lord reckons no debt of guilt.
Nhyira nka onipa a Awurade mmu ne bɔne ngu no so na nnaadaa nni ne honhom mu.
3 When I held my peace, my bones wore away with my endless groaning;
Bere a meyɛɛ komm no, me nnompe yɛɛ mmrɛw, apini a misii no da mu nyinaa nti.
4 for day and night did your hand lie heavy upon me. The sap of my life was dried up as with fierce summer-heat. (Selah)
Awia ne anadwo wo nsa yɛɛ den wɔ me so; mʼahoɔden sae te sɛ awia bere mu ɔhyew.
5 I began to acknowledge my sin, not concealing my guilt; and the moment I vowed to confess to the Lord my transgression, then you yourself did pardon the guilt of my sin. (Selah)
Afei, migyee me bɔne too mu. Mankata mʼamumɔyɛ so. Mekae se, “Mɛka me bɔne akyerɛ Awurade,” na wode me bɔne ho afɔdi kyɛɛ me.
6 For this cause let all who are faithful pray to you in the time of distress; then, when the great waters rush, they will not reach to him.
Enti, ma agyidifo nyinaa mmɔ wo mpae bere a wohu wo; ampa ara sɛ asu akɛse yiri a, ɛrenka no.
7 For you are my shelter, you protect me from trouble, and surround me with deliverance. (Selah)
Wone me hintabea; wobɛbɔ me ho ban wɔ amanehunu mu na wode nkwagye nnwom atwa me ho ahyia.
8 “With my eye steadfastly upon you, I will instruct and teach you The way you should go.
Mɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo ɔkwan a wobɛfa so metu wo fo na mahwɛ wo so.
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule, that have no understanding, but need bridle and halter to curb them, else they will not come near to you.”
Ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔpɔnkɔ anaa afurumpɔnkɔ a onni ntease nti wɔde nnareka ne hama na ɛdannan no, sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛba wo nkyɛn.
10 The godless have many sorrows, but those who trust in the Lord will be compassed about by his kindness.
Omumɔyɛfo amanehunu dɔɔso, nanso Awurade adɔe a ɛnsa da no twa onipa a ɔde ne ho to no so no ho hyia.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, you righteous; and ring out your joy, all you upright in heart.
Munni ahurusi na mo ani nnye wɔ Awurade mu, mo atreneefo; monto dwom, mo a mo koma mu tew.
