Psalms 41
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne onipa a mmɔborɔni asɛm ho hia no; Awurade gye no wɔ amanehunu bere mu.
2 Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!
Awurade bɛbɔ ne ho ban na wakora ne kra; obehyira no wɔ asase no so; ɔrennyaa no mma nʼatamfo apɛde.
3 Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.
Awurade bɛhwɛ no wɔ ne yare mpa so na wagye no asi hɔ.
4 I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:
Mekae se, “Ao Awurade hu me mmɔbɔ; sa me yare, efisɛ mayɛ bɔne atia wo.”
5 Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
Mʼatamfo de adwene bɔne ka fa me ho se: “Da bɛn na obewu ama ne din ayera?”
6 And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.
Bere biara a obi ba me nkyɛn no, ɔka atosɛm, na ne koma hɔre dinsɛe; ofi adi kɔ a, ɔde kodi nseku.
7 Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.
Mʼatamfo nyinaa keka asomsɛm fa me ho; wosusuw bɔne ma me na wɔka se:
8 An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.
“Ɔyare bɔne bi abɔ no; ɔrensɔre mfi nea ɔda hɔ bio.”
9 Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified his heel 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 But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.
Nanso wo, Awurade, hu me mmɔbɔ; ma me so, na mintua wɔn so ka.
11 Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.
Minim sɛ wʼani sɔ me, na me tamfo renni me so nkonim.
12 But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.
Me nokwaredi mu, wukura me mu na wode me gyina wʼanim afebɔɔ.
13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
Nhyira nka Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, nnɛ ne daa nyinaa.
