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.
UDavida wasekhuluma eNkosini amazwi alelihubo mhla iNkosi imkhulula esandleni sezitha zakhe zonke lesandleni sikaSawuli.
2 Nsɛm a ɛwɔ dwom no mu ni: “Awurade yɛ me botan, mʼaban ne mʼagyenkwa;
Wasesithi: INkosi ilidwala lami, lenqaba yami, lomkhululi wami;
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.
uNkulunkulu wedwala lami, ngizaphephela kuye, isihlangu sami, lophondo losindiso lwami, inqaba yami ephakemeyo, lesiphephelo sami, umsindisi wami; ungisindisile odlakeleni.
4 “Misu frɛ Awurade; ɔno na ayeyi sɛ no, efisɛ ogye me fi mʼatamfo nsam.
Ngizabiza iNkosi edumisekayo, ngakho ngizasindiswa ezitheni zami.
5 Owu asorɔkye twaa me ho hyiae; ɔsɛe yiri faa me so.
Ngoba izinsizi zokufa zingizingelezele, lezikhukhula zobubi zangethusa.
Izibopho zesihogo zangigombolozela, imijibila yokufa yayiphambi kwami. (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.
Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngayibiza iNkosi, ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami; waselizwa ilizwi lami esethempelini lakhe, lokukhala kwami kwafinyelela endlebeni zakhe.
8 Na asase wosowee na ehinhimii; ɔsoro fapem wosowee; wɔwosowee, nʼabufuw nti.
Khona umhlaba wazamazama, wanyikinyeka, izisekelo zamazulu zaqhaqhazela, zazamazama, ngoba wayethukuthele.
9 Wusiw fii ne hwene mu; ogyaframa fii nʼanom; na nnyansramma dɛw fii mu.
Kwenyuka intuthu emakhaleni akhe, lomlilo ophuma emlonyeni wakhe waqothula; amalahle avuthiswa yiwo.
10 Ofii ɔsoro baa fam; na omununkum kabii duruu nʼanan ase.
Wasekhothamisa amazulu, wehlela phansi; lomnyama onzima wawungaphansi kwenyawo zakhe.
11 Ɔte kerubim so tui; gyaagyaa ne ho wɔ mframa ntaban so.
Wasegada ikherubhi, waphapha, wabonakala phezu kwempiko zomoya.
12 Ɔde sum kataa ne ho hyiae, ɔde osu mununkum dii nʼanim kan.
Wasemisa umnyama waba ngamadumba inhlangothi zonke zakhe, lokuqoqana kwamanzi, amayezi amnyama omkhathi.
13 Hann kɛse hyerɛn wɔ nʼanim, na anyinam pa fii mu.
Ekukhazimuleni okuphambi kwakhe kwavuthiswa amalahle omlilo.
14 Awurade bobɔɔ mu fi ɔsoro; Ɔsorosoroni no teɛɛ mu dennen.
INkosi yaduma isemazulwini, loPhezukonke walikhupha ilizwi lakhe.
15 Ɔtow nʼagyan maa nʼatamfo hwetee; anyinam twa ma wɔyɛɛ basaa.
Yathuma imitshoko, yabachitha; imibane, yabaphaphathekisa.
16 Awurade kasae, na wiase nnyinaso no nyinaa daa hɔ. Wotumi huu ɛpo ase, na asase fapem ho daa hɔ.
Khona kwabonakala imisele yolwandle, kwembulwa izisekelo zomhlaba, ekusoleni kweNkosi, ekuvutheleni komoya wamakhala ayo.
17 “Ofi ɔsoro baa fam besoo me mu; ɔtwee me fii asu a emu dɔ mu.
Iphezulu yathuma, yangibamba, yangenyula emanzini amanengi.
18 Ogyee me fii mʼatamfo a wɔyɛ den nsam, atamfo a wokyi me na wɔn ho yɛ den pa ara sen me.
Yangophula esitheni sami esilamandla, kwabangizondayo, ngoba babelamandla kulami.
19 Wɔbaa me so wɔ mʼamanehunu da, nanso Awurade pagyaw me.
Babephambi kwami osukwini lwenhlupheko yami, kodwa iNkosi yaba yisisekelo sami.
20 Ɔde me baa baabi a bammɔ wɔ; ogyee me, efisɛ nʼani kum me ho.
Yangikhuphela endaweni ebanzi, yangikhulula, ngoba yayithokoza ngami.
21 “Awurade atua me papayɛ so ka; me bem a midi no, wahyɛ me anan mu.
INkosi yangivuza njengokulunga kwami, yangibuyisela njengokuhlanzeka kwezandla zami.
22 Efisɛ manantew Awurade akwan so; mentwee me ho mfii me Nyankopɔn ho nkɔyɛɛ bɔne.
Ngoba ngizilondolozile indlela zeNkosi, kangisukanga kuNkulunkulu wami ngenkohlakalo.
23 Ne mmara nyinaa gu mʼanim; mentwee me ho mfii ne nhyehyɛe ho.
Ngoba zonke izahlulelo zayo zaziphambi kwami, lezimiso zayo, kangiphambukanga kuzo.
24 Me ho nni asɛm wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; matwe me ho afi bɔne ho.
Njalo ngangiqondile phambi kwayo, ngizinqandile ebubini bami.
25 Awurade tuaa me papayɛ so ka, efisɛ minni fɔ wɔ nʼanim.
Ngakho iNkosi ingibuyisele njengokulunga kwami, njengokuhlanzeka kwami phambi kwamehlo ayo.
26 “Woda wo ho adi sɛ ɔnokwafo kyerɛ wɔn a wodi nokware, wɔn a wodi mu nso wo kyerɛ wɔn sɛ wodi mu.
Kolesihawu uzaziveza ulesihawu; koqotho uzaziveza uqotho;
27 Wuyi wo kronkronyɛ kyerɛ ɔkronkronni, nanso amumɔyɛfo de wukyi wɔn.
kohlanzekileyo uzaziveza uhlanzekile; lakophambukileyo uzaziveza uphambukile.
28 Wugye ahobrɛasefo, nanso wʼani kɔ ahantanfo so sɛ wobɛbrɛ wɔn ase.
Labantu abahlutshwayo uzabasindisa, kodwa amehlo akho aphezu kwabaziphakamisayo, uzabehlisela phansi.
29 Wo Awurade, woyɛ me kanea. Yiw, Awurade woma me sum dan hann.
Ngoba uyisibane sami, Nkosi, iNkosi izakhanyisa-ke ubumnyama bami.
30 Wʼahoɔden mu, metumi aka asraafokuw agu; me Nyankopɔn nti, mitumi foro ɔfasu.
Ngoba ngawe ngigijimile ngadabula phakathi kwebutho, ngoNkulunkulu wami ngeqe umthangala.
31 “Onyankopɔn de, nʼakwan yɛ pɛ; Awurade bɔhyɛ nyinaa ba mu. Ɔyɛ nkatabo ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ bammɔ wɔ ne mu.
UNkulunkulu; indlela yakhe iphelele; ilizwi leNkosi lihloliwe; uyisihlangu kubo bonke abaphephela kuye.
32 Hena ne Onyankopɔn, gye sɛ Awurade? Hena ne ɔbotantim no, gye sɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn?
Ngoba ngubani onguNkulunkulu ngaphandle kweNkosi? Njalo ngubani olidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu?
33 Onyankopɔn ne mʼaban a ɛyɛ den; wagye me, na wama me kwan so ayɛ pɛ.
UNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami lamandla, owenza indlela yami iphelele.
34 Ɔma mʼanammɔn ho yɛ hare sɛ ɔforote de; Ɔma me gyina sorɔnsorɔmmea.
Owenza inyawo zami zibe njengezezimpala, wangimisa ezingqongeni zami.
35 Osiesie me ma ɔko; na me basa tumi kuntun kɔbere mfrafrae tadua.
Ofundisela izandla zami impi, ukuze idandili lethusi ligotshiswe zingalo zami.
36 Woama me wo nkwagye kyɛm. Wo mmoa ama mayɛ ɔkɛse.
Unginikile lesihlangu sosindiso lwakho, lokuzithoba kwakho kungikhulisile.
37 Woabɔ kwan tɛtrɛɛ ama mʼanan sɛnea me nkotodwe rengurow.
Wenze laba banzi inyathelo lami ngaphansi kwami, ukuze inqagala zami zingatsheleli.
38 “Metaa mʼatamfo sɛee wɔn; mannyina kosii sɛ wodii nkogu.
Ngixotshene lezitha zami ngazibhubhisa, kangibuyanga ngaze ngaziqeda.
39 Meyam wɔn, mebɔɔ wɔn hwee fam, na wɔantumi ansɔre; wɔhwehwee ase wɔ mʼanan ase.
Ngaziqeda, ngazigwaza, ukuze zingavuki; kodwa zawa ngaphansi kwenyawo zami.
40 Wohyɛɛ me ahoɔden maa ɔko; woaka mʼatamfo ahyɛ mʼanan ase.
Ngoba ungibhincise amandla kusenzelwa impi, wabakhothamisela phansi kwami abangivukelayo.
41 Womaa wɔdan wɔn ani guanee, na mesɛe wɔn a wɔtan me nyinaa.
Unginike intamo yezitha zami, labo abangizondayo ngababhubhisa.
42 Wosu pɛɛ mmoa, nanso obiara ammegye wɔn. Wosu frɛɛ Awurade, nanso wannye wɔn so.
Bakhangela, kodwa engekho umsindisi; eNkosini, kodwa kayibaphendulanga.
43 Meyam wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ sɛ asase so mfutuma; mepraa wɔn guu suka mu sɛ wura.
Ngasengibacholisisa njengothuli lomhlaba, ngabagxoba njengodaka lwezitalada, ngabatsahaza.
44 “Womaa me nkonimdi wɔ wɔn a wɔbɔ me kwaadu so. Woahwɛ sɛ mɛyɛ amanaman sodifo; na nnipa a minnim wɔn som me.
Wasungikhulula ekuphikiseni kwabantu bami, wangigcina ngiyinhloko yezizwe; abantu engangingabazi bangisebenzela.
45 Ananafo brɛ wɔn ho ase ma me; wɔte me nka pɛ ara a, wɔde wɔn ho ma me.
Abezizweni bazazehlisela phansi kimi; bangenela ukuzwa ngendlebe bazangilalela.
46 Wɔn nyinaa bɔ huboa, na wɔde ahopopo fi wɔn nsraban mu ba.
Abezizweni bazabuna, baphume ezinqabeni zabo bethuthumela.
47 “Awurade te ase! Ayeyi nka me botan, ma wɔmma Onyankopɔn, me nkwagye botan so.
INkosi iyaphila; njalo kalibusiswe idwala lami, kaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu, idwala losindiso lwami;
48 Ɔno ne Onyankopɔn a ɔtɔ wɔn a wɔhaw me so were; ɔka amanaman no hyɛ mʼase
uNkulunkulu onginika impindiselo, lowehlisela izizwe ngaphansi kwami;
49 na ogye me fi mʼatamfo nsam. Wode me si baabi a mʼatamfo nnu, wugye me fi atutuwpɛfo a wotia me nsam.
longikhupha ezitheni zami; laphezu kwabangivukelayo wena wangiphakamisa; lemuntwini wodlakela wangikhulula.
50 Awurade eyi nti, mɛkamfo wo wɔ amanaman mu, Ao Awurade. Mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din.
Ngenxa yalokhu ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, phakathi kwezizwe, ngihubele ibizo lakho indumiso.
51 “Wode nkonimdi akɛse ama wo hene; woda ɔdɔ a ɛnsa da adi kyerɛ nea woasra no ngo, wode kyerɛ Dawid, ne nʼasefo afebɔɔ.”
Ingumphotshongo wosindiso kuyo inkosi yayo, isenzela ogcotshiweyo wayo umusa, kuDavida, lenzalweni yakhe kuze kube nininini.
