Psalms 55
1 To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a poem of David. Give ear to! O God prayer my and may not you hide yourself from supplication my.
Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me mpaebɔ, mmu wʼani ngu me nkotosrɛ so,
2 Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
tie me na gye me so. Me dadwen haw me na ama mayɛ basaa,
3 From [the] sound of an enemy because of [the] pressure of [the] wicked for they drop on me wickedness and in anger they are hostile to me.
esiane nea me tamfo reka, esiane omumɔyɛfo ahunahuna nti; efisɛ wɔde amanehunu ba me so; na wofi wɔn abufuw mu kum me.
4 Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
Me koma wɔ ahoyeraw mu; na owu huboa aba me so.
5 Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
Ehu ne ahopopo akyekyere me. Ahodwiriw abu afa me so.
6 And I said who? will he give [will belong] to me wing[s] like dove I want to fly away and I want to settle down.
Mekae se, “Ao, sɛ mewɔ ntaban sɛ aburuburu a, anka metu akɔ ama me ho atɔ me,
7 Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
anka metu akɔ akyirikyiri akɔtena sare so;
8 I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
anka mɛyɛ ntɛm akɔ me hintabea, faako a mframahweam ne ahum mmɛn koraa.”
9 Confuse O Lord divide tongue their for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Awurade, ma amumɔyɛfo nyɛ basaa, na ma wɔn kasa ntoto, efisɛ mihu basabasayɛ ne aperepere wɔ kuropɔn no mu.
10 By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
Awia ne anadwo wɔtetɛw nʼafasu ho; adwemmɔne ne asisi wɔ mu.
11 Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
Adesɛefo dɔm reyɛ adwuma wɔ kuropɔn no mu. Ahunahuna ne nnaadaa wɔ ne mmɔnten so daa.
12 For not an enemy he taunts me and I may endure not [one who] hates me on me he magnified himself then I may hide myself from him.
Sɛ ɛyɛɛ ɔtamfo na ɔresopa me a, anka metumi agyina ano; sɛ ɛyɛɛ ɔtamfo na ɔrema ne ho so atia me a, anka metumi de me ho ahintaw no.
13 And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
Nanso ɛyɛ wo, ɔdesani te sɛ me, me yɔnko, mʼadamfo kann,
14 Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
a kan no na me ne no wɔ ayɔnkofa a mu yɛ den bere a yɛn nyinaa bɔɔ mu yuu kɔɔ Onyankopɔn fi na yɛka asomfo no ho no.
15 (May it deceive death - *Q(K)*) on them may they go down Sheol alive for evil deeds [are] in sojourning-place their in inner being their. (Sheol h7585)
Ma owu mmɛfa mʼatamfo mpofirim; ma wɔnkɔ ɔda mu anikann, efisɛ bɔne te wɔn mu. (Sheol h7585)
16 I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
Nanso misu frɛ Onyankopɔn, na Awurade gye me nkwa.
17 Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
Anwummere, anɔpa ne awia, mede mmɔborɔnne su frɛ no, na ɔte me nne.
18 He will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are with me.
Ɔde ne ho bɔ afɔre ma minya me ti didi mu wɔ ako a wodi tia me no mu, mpo dodow na wɔsɔre tia me.
19 He will hear - God - and he will answer them and [the one who] sits antiquity (Selah) whom not changes [belong] to them and not they fear God.
Onyankopɔn a wɔasi no hene afebɔɔ no, ɔbɛte wɔn nka na wahaw wɔn, ɔbɛhaw nnipa a wɔnsakra wɔn akwan da na wonsuro Onyankopɔn nso.
20 He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
Me yɔnko tow hyɛ ne nnamfonom so; na obu nʼapam so.
21 They were smooth - [the] creamy things of mouth his and [was] war heart his they were soft words his more than oil and they [were] drawn swords.
Ɔwɔ tɛkrɛmawo, nanso ɔtan wɔ ne koma mu. Nʼano asɛm dwudwo sen ngo, nanso ɛyɛ afoa a wɔatwe.
22 Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
Fa wo haw to Awurade so na ɔno na obegye wo; ɔremma ɔtreneeni nhwe ase.
23 And you O God - you will bring down them - to [the] pit of [the] pit people of blood and deceit not they will divide in half days their and I I will trust in you.
Nanso wo, Onyankopɔn, wobɛbrɛ amumɔyɛfo ase ama wɔakɔ ɔporɔw amoa mu; mogyapɛfo ne nnaadaafo renni wɔn nkwanna mu fa. Nanso me de, mede me ho to wo so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Aburuburu a osi Akyirikyiri Odum so,” nne so.
