Psalms 22
1 To the choirmaster on [the] doe of the dawn a psalm of David. O God my God my why? have you forsaken me [are] far from deliverance my [the] words of cry of distress my.
Dawid dwom. Me Onyankopɔn, me Onyankopɔn, adɛn enti na woagya me? Adɛn enti na me nkwagyeɛ ne wo ntam aware, adɛn na mʼapinisie nsɛm ne wo ntam aware?
2 O God my I call out by day and not you answer and night and not repose [belongs] to me.
Ao me Onyankopɔn, mesu frɛ wo awia, nanso wonnye me so, mefrɛ wo anadwo, nanso mennya ɔhome.
3 And you [are] holy sitting [the] praises of Israel.
Nanso, wɔasi wo ɔhene sɛ Ɔkronkronni; wo na Israel kamfo woɔ.
4 In you they trusted ancestors our they trusted and you delivered them.
Wo mu na yɛn agyanom de wɔn werɛ hyɛeɛ; wɔgyee wo diiɛ, na wogyee wɔn.
5 To you they cried out and they were delivered in you they trusted and not they were ashamed.
Wɔsu frɛɛ wo na wogyee wɔn, wɔde wɔn ho too wo so na woanni wɔn hwammɔ.
6 And I [am] a worm and not a man a reproach of humankind and despised of a people.
Nanso meyɛ ɔsonsono, na menyɛ onipa nnipa bɔ me ahohora na wɔbu me animtiaa.
7 All [those who] see me they mock me they make a separation with a lip they shake a head.
Obiara a ɔhunu me di me ho fɛw; wɔtwa me adapaa, woso wɔn ti ka sɛ:
8 Roll to Yahweh let him rescue him let him deliver him for he delights in him.
“Ɔde ne ho to Awurade so; ma Awurade mmɛgye no. Ma ɔmmɛboa no, ɛfiri sɛ ɔwɔ ne mu anigyeɛ.”
9 For you [were] drawing forth me from [the] belly [were] making trust me on [the] breasts of mother my.
Wo na woyii me firii awotwaa mu baeɛ na womaa mede me ho too wo so ɛberɛ a metua me maame nufoɔ ano mpo.
10 On you I was cast from [the] womb from [the] belly of mother my [have been] God my you.
Ɛfiri mʼawoɔ mu na wɔde me too wo soɔ; ɛfiri me maame yafunu mu, woayɛ me Onyankopɔn.
11 May not you be far from me for trouble [is] near for there not [is] a helper.
Ntwe wo ho mfiri me ho! Ɛfiri sɛ amaneɛ abɛn na ɔboafoɔ nni baabi.
12 They have surrounded me bulls many mighty [bulls] of Bashan they have encircled me.
Anantwinini bebree atwa me ho ahyia; Basan anantwinini a wɔn ho yɛ den atwa me ho ahyia.
13 They have opened on me mouth their a lion tearing and roaring.
Gyata a wɔbobom na wɔtete wɔn ahaboa mu abuebue wɔn anom tɛtrɛɛ de kyerɛ me.
14 Like water I have been poured out and they have become dislocated all bones my it has become heart my like wax it has melted in [the] midst of inward parts my.
Wɔahwie me agu sɛ nsuo, na me nnompe nyinaa ahodwo. Mʼakoma adane ayɛ sɛ nku; anane afiri me mu.
15 It has dried up like earthenware - strength my and tongue my [has been] made to cling to jaws my and to [the] dust of death you put me.
Mʼahoɔden awe te sɛ kyɛmferɛ mu. Na me tɛkrɛma atare mʼanom. Wode me ato owuo mfuturo mu.
16 For they have surrounded me dogs a company of evil-doers they have encircled me (like a lion *L(D)*) hands my and feet my.
Nkraman atwa me ho ahyia nnebɔneyɛfoɔ kuo atwa me ho ahyia, wɔahwire me nsa ne me nan mu.
17 I count all bones my they they look they look on me.
Mɛtumi akan me nnompe nyinaa; Mʼatamfoɔ di me nhwɛhaa na wɔsere me.
18 They distribute clothes my to themselves and on clothing my they cast a lot.
Wɔkyɛ me atadeɛ mu fa, na wɔbɔ me ntoma so ntonto.
19 And you O Yahweh may not you be distant O strength my to help my make haste!
Na wo, Ao Awurade, ntwe wo ho. Ao mʼAhoɔden bra ntɛm bɛboa me.
20 Deliver! from [the] sword life my from [the] hand of a dog only [life] my.
Gye me kra firi akofena ano; gye me nkwa a ɛsom bo no firi nkraman tumi ase.
21 Save me from [the] mouth of a lion and from [the] horns of wild oxen you have answered me.
Gye me nkwa firi gyata anom; gye me firi ɛkoɔ mmɛn so.
22 I will recount name your to brothers my in among [the] assembly I will praise you.
Mɛbɔ wo din akyerɛ me nuanom; mɛkamfo wo wɔ wɔn a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa anim.
23 O [those] fearing Yahweh - praise him O all [the] offspring of Jacob honor him and be afraid from him O all [the] offspring of Israel.
Monkamfo Awurade, mo a mosuro no no! Mo a moyɛ Yakob asefoɔ, monhyɛ no animuonyam! Mo Israel asefoɔ nyinaa, monni no ni!
24 For not he has despised and not he has detested [the] affliction of an afflicted [person] and not he has hidden face his from him and when cried for help he to him he heard.
Ɔmmuu nʼani nguu ɔmanehunufoɔ ateetee so, ɔmfaa nʼanim nhintaa no; na mmom watie ne sufrɛ a ɔde repɛ mmoa.
25 [is] from With you praise my in [the] assembly great vows my I will pay before [those] fearing him.
Me botaeɛ a mede yi wo ayɛ wɔ badwa mu no firi wo; mɛdi me bɔhyɛ so wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro wo no anim.
26 They will eat humble [people] - so they may be satisfied they will praise Yahweh [those who] seek him may it live heart your for ever.
Ahiafoɔ bɛdidi na wɔamee; wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade bɛyi no ayɛ. Mo akoma nnya nkwa daa.
27 They will remember - and they may turn to Yahweh all [the] ends of [the] earth so they may bow down before you all [the] clans of [the] nations.
Asase ano nyinaa bɛkae akɔ Awurade nkyɛn, na amanaman no mmusua nyinaa bɛkoto nʼanim,
28 For [belongs] to Yahweh the kingship and [he is] ruling over the nations.
ɛfiri sɛ ahennie wɔ Awurade na ɔdi amanaman so ɔhene.
29 They have eaten and they have bowed down - all [the] fat [people] of [the] earth before him they will bow down all [those who are] about to go down of dust and life his not he has preserved alive.
Asase so adefoɔ nyinaa bɛdidi na wɔasɔre no; wɔn a wɔkɔ dɔteɛ mu nyinaa bɛbu nkotodwe nʼanim, wɔn a wɔrentumi mma nkwa mu.
30 Offspring it will serve him it will be recounted of [the] Lord to the generation.
Nkyirimma nyinaa bɛsom no; wɔbɛka Awurade ho asɛm akyerɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛdidi soɔ.
31 They will come and they may declare righteousness his to a people about to be born that he has acted.
Wɔbɛka ne tenenee akyerɛ nnipa a wɔnnya nwoo wɔn ɛfiri sɛ ɔno na wayɛ.
