Psalms 19
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.
Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid dwom. Ɔsoro ka Onyankopɔn animuonyam ho asɛm! Ewiem pae mu ka ne nsa ano adwuma,
2 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.
Ɛda biara, wɔkasa; anadwo biara, wɔkyerɛ nimdeɛ.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.
Ɔkasa anaa nsɛm nnim na wɔnnte wɔn nne.
4 Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,
Nanso wɔn asɛm akɔduru asase so mmaa nyinaa, wɔn nsɛm nso akɔduru asase ano. Wɔ ɔsoro hɔ, wasi ntomadan ama owia,
5 And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.
a ɔte sɛ ayeforɔkunu a ɔfiri ne pia mu, te sɛ ɔbrane a ne ho pere no sɛ ɔbɛtu ne mmirika.
6 From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
Ɛpue wɔ ɔsoro fa baabi na atwa ne ho akɔsi ano; biribiara nhinta ne hyeɛ.
7 The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah [are] stedfast, Making wise the simple,
Awurade mmara yɛ pɛ, ɛkanyane ɔkra no. Ahotosoɔ wɔ Awurade nhyehyɛeɛ mu, ɛma deɛ ɔnnim nyansa hunu nyansa.
8 The precepts of Jehovah [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,
Awurade ahyɛdeɛ tene; ɛma akoma mu anigyeɛ. Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm mu da hɔ; na ɛbue ani.
9 The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous — together.
Awurade suro yɛ kronn, ɛte hɔ daa. Awurade mmaransɛm yɛ nokorɛ na ne nyinaa tene.
10 They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
Ɛsom bo sene sikakɔkɔɔ sene sikakɔkɔɔ amapa mpo; ɛyɛ dɛ sene ɛwoɔ, sene ɛwoɔ a ɛfiri ɛwokyɛm mu.
11 Also — Thy servant is warned by them, 'In keeping them [is] a great reward.'
Wɔnam so bɔ wo ɔsomfoɔ kɔkɔ sɛ, ɛsodie so akatua yɛ bebree.
12 Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,
Hwan na ɔhunu nʼankasa mfomsoɔ? Fa me mfomsoɔ a ahinta kyɛ me.
13 Also — from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,
Bɔ wʼakoa ho ban firi ɔboayɛ bɔne ho, na anhyɛ me so. Ɛno na ɛbɛma madi bem, a merenni fɔ wɔ bɔne akɛseɛ ho.
14 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!
Ma mʼanom nsɛm ne mʼakoma mu mpaeɛbɔ nyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ wʼani, Ao Awurade me Botan ne me Gyefoɔ.
