Psalms 41
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne onipa a mmɔborɔni asɛm ho hia no. Awurade gye no wɔ amanehunu berɛ mu.
2 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.
Awurade bɛbɔ ne ho ban na wakora ne kra. Ɔbɛhyira no wɔ asase no so; ɔrennyaa no mma nʼatamfoɔ apɛdeɛ.
3 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
Awurade bɛhwɛ no wɔ ne yadeɛ mpa so na wagye no asi hɔ.
4 I — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'
Mekaa sɛ, “Ao Awurade hunu me mmɔbɔ; sa me yadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ mayɛ bɔne atia wo.”
5 Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!
Mʼatamfoɔ de adwene bɔne ka wɔ me ho sɛ: “Da bɛn na ɔbɛwu ama ne din ayera?”
6 And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
Ɛberɛ biara a obi ba me nkyɛn no, ɔka atorɔsɛm, na nʼakoma hɔre dinsɛeɛ; ɔfiri adi kɔ a, ɔde kɔdi nsekuro.
7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
Mʼatamfoɔ nyinaa keka asomusɛm fa me ho; wɔsusu bɔne ma me na wɔka sɛ:
8 A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
“Yare bɔne bi abɔ no; ɔrensɔre mfiri deɛ ɔda hɔ bio.”
9 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
Mpo me yɔnko pa ara a mede me ho too ne soɔ, deɛ me ne no too nsa didiiɛ no, asɔre atia me.
10 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
Nanso wo, Awurade, hunu me mmɔbɔ; pagya me, na mentua wɔn so ka.
11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
Menim sɛ wʼani sɔ me, na me ɔtamfoɔ renni me so nkonim.
12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
Me nokorɛdie mu, wokura me mu na wode me gyina wʼanim afebɔɔ.
13 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
Nhyira nka Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ɛnnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Amen ne Amen! Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
