Psalms 69
1 To the choirmaster on Shoshannim of David. Save me O God for they have come waters to [the] neck.
Dawid dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, gye me nkwa na nsu no abɛdeda me kɔn mu.
2 I have sunk - in mire of depth and there not [is] a foothold I have come in depths of water and a flood it has overflowed me.
Meremem wɔ dontori a mu dɔ mu, wɔ baabi a mʼanan nnya sibea. Madu bun mu na nsu abu afa me so.
3 I have become weary by calling out my it has become parched throat my they have failed eyes my waiting for God my.
Mafrɛ abrɛ rehwehwɛ mmoa. Me mene mu ayow. Mʼani so ayɛ kusuu, na merehwehwɛ me Nyankopɔn.
4 They are many - more than [the] hairs of head my [those who] hate me without cause they are numerous [those who] destroy me enemies my falsehood [that] which not I stole then I will return.
Wɔn a wɔtan me kwa no dɔɔso sen me ti so nwi; wɔn a wɔtan me kwa no dɔɔso, wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ sɛ wɔbɛsɛe me no. Wɔhyɛ me sɛ mennan nea minnwiae no mma.
5 O God you you know folly my and guilt my from you not they are hidden.
Wo, Onyankopɔn, nim me nkwaseasɛm; mʼafɔdi nhintaw wo.
6 May not they be ashamed in me - [those who] wait for you O Lord Yahweh of hosts may not they be humiliated in me [those who] seek you O God of Israel.
Awurade, Awurade Tweduampɔn, mma wɔn a wɔn ani da wo so no, anim ngu ase esiane me nti, Awurade, Asafo Awurade; Israel Nyankopɔn, mma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wo no anim ngu ase esiane me nti.
7 For on you I have borne reproach it has covered ignominy face my.
Wo nti migyina animka ano, na aniwu kata mʼanim.
8 Estranged I have become to brothers my and a foreigner to [the] children of mother my.
Mete sɛ ɔhɔho wɔ me nuanom mu, mete sɛ ɔmamfrani wɔ me na mmabarima mu,
9 For [the] zeal of house your it has consumed me and [the] reproaches of [those who] reproach you they have fallen on me.
na wo fi ho mmɔdemmɔ hyɛ me so, wɔn a wɔbɔ wo ahohora no animtiaabu bɛda me so.
10 And I wept with fasting self my and it became reproach to me.
Sɛ mitwa adwo na midi mmuada a wɔbɔ me ahohora;
11 And I made! clothing my sackcloth and I became for them a byword.
sɛ mifura atweaatam a nnipa de me yɛ aserewde.
12 They speak in me [those who] sit of [the] gate and taunt songs of drinkers of strong drink.
Wɔn a wɔtete ɔpon no ano no serew me, na akɔwensafo de me din to dwom.
13 And I prayer my [is] to you - O Yahweh a time of favor O God in [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your answer me in [the] faithfulness of salvation your.
Nanso mɛbɔ wo mpae, Awurade, wɔ wʼadom bere mu; wɔ wʼadɔe kɛse no nti, Ao, Onyankopɔn, fa wo nokware nkwagye no gye me so.
14 Deliver me from [the] mud and may not I sink may I be delivered from [those who] hate me and from depths of water.
Yi me fi dontori no mu, mma memmem wɔ mu; gye me fi wɔn a wɔtan me no nsam, ne nsu bun mu.
15 May not it overflow me - a flood of water and may not it swallow up me [the] deep and may not it close over me [the] pit mouth its.
Mma nsu nnyiri mmfa me anaa bun mmene me anaa amoa nkata me so.
16 Answer me O Yahweh for [is] good covenant loyalty your according to [the] greatness of compassion your turn to me.
Awurade, gye me so fi wʼadɔe a eye no mu; wʼadom nti, dan bɛhwɛ me.
17 And may not you hide face your from servant your for it is distress to me hurry answer me.
Mfa wʼanim nhintaw wo somfo; gye me so ntɛm, na mewɔ ɔhaw mu.
18 Draw near! to self my redeem it on account of enemies my ransom me.
Twiw bɛn me na gye me; gye me nkwa, mʼatamfo nti.
19 You you know reproach my and shame my and ignominy my [are] before you all opposers my.
Wunim sɛnea wɔkasa tia me, gu mʼanim ase na wotiatia mʼanim; wʼani tua mʼatamfo nyinaa.
20 Reproach - it has broken heart my and I have become sick! and I waited to show sympathy and there not and for comforters and not I found [them].
Kasatia ahyɛ me koma so ama mayɛ sɛ obi a onni ɔboafo; mepɛɛ awerɛkyekye, nanso mannya bi, mepɛɛ ɔwerɛkyekyefo, nanso manhu bi.
21 And they put in food my poison and for thirst my they gave to drink me vinegar.
Wɔde bɔnwoma guu mʼaduan mu, osukɔm dee me no, wɔmaa me nsa nwenweenwen.
22 May it become table their before them a trap and for allies a snare.
Ma wɔn didipon a esi wɔn anim nyi wɔn sɛ afiri; ma ɛnyɛ akatua ne afide mma wɔn.
23 May they grow dim eyes their from seeing and loins their continually make to shake.
Ma wɔn ani so nyɛ wɔn kusuu na wɔanhu ade, na ma wɔn akyi nkuntun afebɔɔ.
24 Pour out on them indignation your and [the] burning of anger your may it overtake them.
Hwie wʼabufuwhyew gu wɔn so; na ma wʼabufuw huhuhuhu no mmra wɔn so.
25 May it be encampment their made desolate in tents their may not anyone be dwelling.
Ma wɔn fi nyɛ amamfo; mma obiara ntena wɔn ntamadan mu.
26 For you [those] whom you struck they have harassed and concerning [the] pain of fatally wounded [ones] your they have recounted.
Wɔtaa wɔn a wupira wɔn no, wɔka wɔn a wupira wɔn no yawdi ho asɛm.
27 Put! iniquity to iniquity their and may not they come in righteousness your.
Fa amumɔyɛ mu amumɔyɛ ho sobo bɔ wɔn; mma wonnya wo nkwagye mu kyɛfa.
28 May they be wiped out from [the] scroll of life and with righteous [people] may not they be written down.
Pepa wɔn din fi nkwa nhoma no mu, mfa wɔn din nka atreneefo de ho.
29 And I [am] afflicted and [am] in pain salvation your O God may it set on high me.
Mewɔ ɔyaw ne ahohiahia mu; Onyankopɔn, ma wo nkwagye no mmɔ me ho ban.
30 I will praise [the] name of God with a song and I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
Mede dwonto beyi Onyankopɔn din ayɛ na mede aseda ahyɛ no anuonyam.
31 So it may be good to Yahweh more than an ox a young bull having horns having hooves.
Eyi bɛsɔ Awurade ani yiye asen nantwi, asen nantwinini a otua mmɛn na ɔwɔ tɔte.
32 They will see humble [people] they will rejoice O [you who] seek God and may it live heart your.
Mmɔborɔni behu na nʼani agye, mo a mohwehwɛ Onyankopɔn no koma benya nkwa.
33 For [is] listening to needy [people] Yahweh and prisoners his not he despises.
Awurade tie wɔn a ade ahia wɔn, na ommu ne nkurɔfo nneduafo animtiaa.
34 May they praise him heaven and earth [the] seas and every [thing which] moves in them.
Ma ɔsoro ne asase nkamfo no, po ne nea ɛkeka ne ho wɔ mu nyinaa,
35 For God - he will save Zion so he may rebuild [the] cities of Judah and they will dwell there and they will take possession of it.
efisɛ Onyankopɔn begye Sion nkwa na wakyekye Yuda nkuropɔn no bio. Afei nnipa bɛtena mu na ayɛ wɔn de;
36 And [the] offspring of servants his they will inherit it and [those who] love name his they will dwell in it.
Nʼasomfo asefo na wɔbɛfa hɔ, na wɔn a wɔdɔ ne din no bɛtena hɔ. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
