2 Samuel 22
1 Bere a Awurade gyee Dawid fii nʼatamfo nyinaa ne Saulo nsam akyi no, ɔtoo saa dwom yi de yii Awurade ayɛ.
Forsothe Dauid spak to the Lord the wordis of this song, in the dai in which the Lord delyuerede hym fro the hond of alle hise enemyes, and fro the hond of Saul.
2 Nsɛm a ɛwɔ dwom no mu ni: “Awurade yɛ me botan, mʼaban ne mʼagyenkwa;
And Dauid seide, The Lord is my stoon, and my strengthe, and my sauyour;
3 me Nyankopɔn yɛ me botan; ne mu na minya guankɔbea. Ɔyɛ me kyɛm, me nkwagye mu ahoɔden, mʼabandennen, mʼagyenkwa, nea ogye me fi basabasayɛ mu.
my God, my stronge, I schal hope in to hym; my scheeld, and the horn of myn helthe, `my reisere, and my refuyt; my sauyour, thou schalt delyuere me fro wickidnesse.
4 “Misu frɛ Awurade; ɔno na ayeyi sɛ no, efisɛ ogye me fi mʼatamfo nsam.
Y schal inwardly clepe the Lord worthi to be preisid; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes.
5 Owu asorɔkye twaa me ho hyiae; ɔsɛe yiri faa me so.
For the sorewis of deeth cumpasside me; the strondis of Belial maden me aferd.
The coordis of helle cumpassiden me; the snaris of deeth camen bifor me. (Sheol h7585)
7 “Na mʼamanehunu mu no, misu frɛɛ Awurade. Yiw, mefrɛɛ me Nyankopɔn pɛɛ mmoa. Ɔtee me nne fii ne kronkronbea. Me sufrɛ duu nʼasom.
In tribulacioun Y schal clepe, `that is, Y clepide thee, Lord, and Y schal crie to my God; and he herd fro his holi temple my vois, and my crye schal come to hise eeris.
8 Na asase wosowee na ehinhimii; ɔsoro fapem wosowee; wɔwosowee, nʼabufuw nti.
The erthe was mouyd, and tremblide; the foundementis of hillis weren smytun and schakun togidere, for the Lord was wrooth to hem.
9 Wusiw fii ne hwene mu; ogyaframa fii nʼanom; na nnyansramma dɛw fii mu.
Smoke stiede fro hise nosethirlis, and fier of his mouth schal deuoure; colis weren kyndlid of it.
10 Ofii ɔsoro baa fam; na omununkum kabii duruu nʼanan ase.
And he bowide heuenes, and cam doun; and myist vndur hise feet.
11 Ɔte kerubim so tui; gyaagyaa ne ho wɔ mframa ntaban so.
And he stiede on cherubyn, and fliy; and he slood on the pennys of wynd.
12 Ɔde sum kataa ne ho hyiae, ɔde osu mununkum dii nʼanim kan.
He puttide derknessis hidyng place in his cumpas, and riddlide watris fro the cloudis of heuenes;
13 Hann kɛse hyerɛn wɔ nʼanim, na anyinam pa fii mu.
for briytnesse in his siyt colis of fier weren kyndelid.
14 Awurade bobɔɔ mu fi ɔsoro; Ɔsorosoroni no teɛɛ mu dennen.
The Lord schal thundur fro heuene; and hiy God schal yyue his vois.
15 Ɔtow nʼagyan maa nʼatamfo hwetee; anyinam twa ma wɔyɛɛ basaa.
He sente hise arowis, and scateride hem; he sente leitis, and wastide hem.
16 Awurade kasae, na wiase nnyinaso no nyinaa daa hɔ. Wotumi huu ɛpo ase, na asase fapem ho daa hɔ.
And the schedyngis out of the see apperiden, and the foundementis of the world weren schewid; fro the blamyng of the Lord, fro the brething of the spirit of his strong veniaunce.
17 “Ofi ɔsoro baa fam besoo me mu; ɔtwee me fii asu a emu dɔ mu.
He sente fro heuene, and took me; and drow me out of manye watris.
18 Ogyee me fii mʼatamfo a wɔyɛ den nsam, atamfo a wokyi me na wɔn ho yɛ den pa ara sen me.
He delyuerede me fro my myytiest enemy, and fro hem that hatiden me; for thei weren strongere than Y.
19 Wɔbaa me so wɔ mʼamanehunu da, nanso Awurade pagyaw me.
Thei camen bifore me in the dai of my turmentyng; and the Lord was maad my stidfastnesse.
20 Ɔde me baa baabi a bammɔ wɔ; ogyee me, efisɛ nʼani kum me ho.
And he ledde me out in to largenesse, and he delyuerede me; for Y pleside hym.
21 “Awurade atua me papayɛ so ka; me bem a midi no, wahyɛ me anan mu.
The Lord schal yelde to me vp my riytfulnesse; and he schal yelde to me vp, `ethir aftir, the clennesse of myn hondis.
22 Efisɛ manantew Awurade akwan so; mentwee me ho mfii me Nyankopɔn ho nkɔyɛɛ bɔne.
For Y kepte the weies of the Lord; and Y dide not wickidli fro my God.
23 Ne mmara nyinaa gu mʼanim; mentwee me ho mfii ne nhyehyɛe ho.
For alle hise domes weren in my siyt; and Y dide not awei fro me hise heestis.
24 Me ho nni asɛm wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; matwe me ho afi bɔne ho.
And Y schal be perfit with hym; and Y schal kepe me fro my wickidnesse.
25 Awurade tuaa me papayɛ so ka, efisɛ minni fɔ wɔ nʼanim.
And the Lord schal restore to me vpe my riytfulnesse; and vp the clennesse of myn hondis in the siyt of hise iyen.
26 “Woda wo ho adi sɛ ɔnokwafo kyerɛ wɔn a wodi nokware, wɔn a wodi mu nso wo kyerɛ wɔn sɛ wodi mu.
With the hooli thou schalt be hooli, and with the stronge, `that is, to suffre aduersitees pacientli, thou schalt be perfit;
27 Wuyi wo kronkronyɛ kyerɛ ɔkronkronni, nanso amumɔyɛfo de wukyi wɔn.
and with a chosun man `to blis thou schalt be chosun, and with a weiward man thou schalt be maad weiward, `that is, in yeldynge iustli peyne to hym vpe his weiwardnesse.
28 Wugye ahobrɛasefo, nanso wʼani kɔ ahantanfo so sɛ wobɛbrɛ wɔn ase.
And thou schalt make saaf a pore puple; and with thin iyen thou schalt make lowe hem that ben hiye.
29 Wo Awurade, woyɛ me kanea. Yiw, Awurade woma me sum dan hann.
For thou, Lord, art my lanterne, and thou, Lord, schalt liytne my derknessis.
30 Wʼahoɔden mu, metumi aka asraafokuw agu; me Nyankopɔn nti, mitumi foro ɔfasu.
For Y gird, `that is, maad redi to batel, schal renne in thee, `that is, in thi vertu; and in my God Y schal `scippe ouer the wal.
31 “Onyankopɔn de, nʼakwan yɛ pɛ; Awurade bɔhyɛ nyinaa ba mu. Ɔyɛ nkatabo ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ bammɔ wɔ ne mu.
`God his weie is `with out wem; the speche of the Lord is examynyd bi fier, `that is, is pure and clene as metal preuyd in the furneys; he is a scheeld of alle men hopynge in hym.
32 Hena ne Onyankopɔn, gye sɛ Awurade? Hena ne ɔbotantim no, gye sɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn?
For who is God, outakun the Lord; and who is strong, outakun oure God?
33 Onyankopɔn ne mʼaban a ɛyɛ den; wagye me, na wama me kwan so ayɛ pɛ.
God, that hath gird me with strengthe, and hath maad pleyn my perfit weie;
34 Ɔma mʼanammɔn ho yɛ hare sɛ ɔforote de; Ɔma me gyina sorɔnsorɔmmea.
and he made euene my feet with hertis, and settide me on myn hiye thingis;
35 Osiesie me ma ɔko; na me basa tumi kuntun kɔbere mfrafrae tadua.
and he tauyte myn hondis to batel, and made myn armes as a brasun bouwe.
36 Woama me wo nkwagye kyɛm. Wo mmoa ama mayɛ ɔkɛse.
Thou hast youe to me the sheeld of thin heelthe; and my myldenesse multipliede me.
37 Woabɔ kwan tɛtrɛɛ ama mʼanan sɛnea me nkotodwe rengurow.
Thou schalt alarge my steppis vndur me; and myn heelis schulen not faile.
38 “Metaa mʼatamfo sɛee wɔn; mannyina kosii sɛ wodii nkogu.
Y schal pursue myn enemyes, and Y schal al to-breke hem; and Y schal not turne ayen, til Y waste hem.
39 Meyam wɔn, mebɔɔ wɔn hwee fam, na wɔantumi ansɔre; wɔhwehwee ase wɔ mʼanan ase.
Y schal waste hem, and Y schal breke, that thei rise not; thei schulen falle vndur my feet.
40 Wohyɛɛ me ahoɔden maa ɔko; woaka mʼatamfo ahyɛ mʼanan ase.
Thou hast gird me with strengthe to batel; thou hast bowid vnder me hem that ayenstoden me.
41 Womaa wɔdan wɔn ani guanee, na mesɛe wɔn a wɔtan me nyinaa.
Thou hast youe myn enemyes abac to me, men hatynge me; and Y schal distrie hem.
42 Wosu pɛɛ mmoa, nanso obiara ammegye wɔn. Wosu frɛɛ Awurade, nanso wannye wɔn so.
Thei schulen crye, `that is, to ydols ether to mennus help, and noon schal be that schal saue; `thei schulen crie to the Lord, and he schal not here hem.
43 Meyam wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ sɛ asase so mfutuma; mepraa wɔn guu suka mu sɛ wura.
Y schal do awei hem as the dust of erthe; Y schal `powne hem, and Y schal do awei as the clei of stretis.
44 “Womaa me nkonimdi wɔ wɔn a wɔbɔ me kwaadu so. Woahwɛ sɛ mɛyɛ amanaman sodifo; na nnipa a minnim wɔn som me.
Thou schalt saue me fro ayenseiyngis of my puple; thou schalt kepe me in to the heed of folkis; the puple, whom Y knowe not, schal serue me.
45 Ananafo brɛ wɔn ho ase ma me; wɔte me nka pɛ ara a, wɔde wɔn ho ma me.
Alien sones schulen ayenstonde me; bi heryng of eere thei schulen obeie to me.
46 Wɔn nyinaa bɔ huboa, na wɔde ahopopo fi wɔn nsraban mu ba.
Alien sones fletiden awei; and thei schulen be drawun togidere in her angwischis.
47 “Awurade te ase! Ayeyi nka me botan, ma wɔmma Onyankopɔn, me nkwagye botan so.
The Lord lyueth, and my God is blessid; and the stronge God of myn helthe schal be enhaunsid.
48 Ɔno ne Onyankopɔn a ɔtɔ wɔn a wɔhaw me so were; ɔka amanaman no hyɛ mʼase
God, that yyuest veniauncis to me; and hast cast doun puplis vndur me.
49 na ogye me fi mʼatamfo nsam. Wode me si baabi a mʼatamfo nnu, wugye me fi atutuwpɛfo a wotia me nsam.
Which ledist me out fro myn enemyes, and reisist me fro men ayenstondinge me; thou schalt deliuere me fro the wickid man.
50 Awurade eyi nti, mɛkamfo wo wɔ amanaman mu, Ao Awurade. Mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din.
Therfor, Lord, Y schal knowleche to thee in hethene men; and Y schal synge to thi name.
51 “Wode nkonimdi akɛse ama wo hene; woda ɔdɔ a ɛnsa da adi kyerɛ nea woasra no ngo, wode kyerɛ Dawid, ne nʼasefo afebɔɔ.”
And he magnyfieth the helthis of his kyng; and doith mercyes to his crist Dauid, and to his seed til in to withouten ende.
