< Psalms 129 >
1 [the] song of The ascents much people have opposed me since youth my let it say please Israel.
Ɔsoroforo dwom. “Wɔahyɛ me so pii afi me mmofraase, ma Israel nka ɛ.
2 Much people have opposed me since youth my also not they have prevailed to me.
“Wɔahyɛ me so pii afi me mmofraase, nanso wontumi nnii me so nkonim ɛ.
3 On back my they have plowed plowmen they have made long (furrows their. *Q(K)*)
Fɛntɛmfo afɛntɛm mʼakyi ayɛ wɔn nkɔmoa atenten.
4 Yahweh [is] righteous he has cut off [the] rope of wicked [people].
Nanso Awurade yɛ ɔtreneeni; watwitwa amumɔyɛfo hama afi me ho ama made me ho.”
5 May they be ashamed and they may be turned back backward all [those who] hate Zion.
Ma wɔn a wɔtan Sion nyinaa mfa animguase nsan wɔn akyi.
6 May they be like [the] grass of roofs that before it has shot up it has withered.
Ma wɔnnyɛ sɛ sare a ɛwɔ ɔdan atifi, a ennyin na ɛhyew;
7 That not he has filled hand his a reaper and bosom his [one who] binds sheaves.
na nnɔbaetwafo ntumi nnya biribi mfi mu nhyɛ ne nsa ma, na nea ɔboaboa ano nso nnya hwee nhyɛ nʼabasa ma.
8 And not they say - those [who] pass by [the] blessing of Yahweh [be] to you we bless you in [the] name of Yahweh.
Mma wɔn a wotwa mu wɔ hɔ no nka se, “Awurade nhyira mmra mo so; yehyira mo wɔ Awurade din mu.”
