2 “Mobɛhyɛ me ɔyaw na mode nsɛm abubu me akosi da bɛn?
Koze kube nini lihlupha umphefumulo wami, lingiphahlaza ngamazwi?
3 Mpɛn du ni a moasopa me; mo ani nwu sɛ motow hyɛ me so.
Lezizikhathi ezilitshumi lingithela ngehlazo; kalilanhloni, lingiphatha kubi.
4 Sɛ ɛyɛ nokware sɛ mafom ɔkwan a, me mfomso yɛ me nko ara asɛm.
Uba-ke kuliqiniso ukuthi ngiduhile, ukuduha kwami kuzahlala lami.
5 Sɛ ampa sɛ mobɛma mo ho so asen me na mode mʼanimguase ayɛ adanse atia me a,
Uba isibili lizikhukhumeza phezu kwami, liphikisane lami ngehlazo lami,
6 ɛno de munhu sɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ me bɔne na ɔde ne tan atwa me ho ahyia.
yazini-ke ukuthi nguNkulunkulu ongihlanekeleyo, wangigombolozela ngembule lakhe.
7 “Ɛwɔ mu, misu se, ‘Wɔafom me’ de, nanso obiara mmua me; meteɛ mu pɛ mmoa, nanso atɛntrenee biara nni hɔ.
Khangela, ngiyamemeza ngithi: Okubi! Kodwa kangiphendulwa. Ngicela usizo, kodwa akulasahlulelo.
8 Wasiw me kwan enti mintumi nsen; ɔde sum aduru mʼakwan so.
Uyivalile indlela yami ngomduli ukuze ngingedluli, wamisa umnyama emikhondweni yami.
9 Wayi mʼanuonyam afi me so na watu mʼahenkyɛw afi me ti so.
Ungihlubule udumo lwami, wasusa umqhele wekhanda lami.
10 Wasɛe me akwannuasa nyinaa so de awie me; watu mʼanidaso ase te sɛ dua.
Ungibhidlizile inhlangothi zonke, sengihambile, ulisiphule ithemba lami njengesihlahla.
11 Nʼabufuw huru tia me; na wakan me afra nʼatamfo mu.
Ulumathisile ulaka lwakhe kimi, ungibale njengezitha zakhe kuye.
12 Nʼakofo ba anibere so; wosisi mpie de tia me na wotwa me ntamadan ho hyia.
Amabutho akhe afika kanyekanye, abuthelela indlela yawo emelene lami, amisa inkamba agombolozela ithente lami.
13 “Wayi me nuabarimanom afi me ho; na mʼamanifo atwe wɔn ho koraa.
Ubeke abafowethu khatshana lami, labangaziyo isibili sebengabemzini kimi.
14 Mʼabusuafo kɔ; na me nnamfonom werɛ afi me.
Izihlobo zami zinyamalele, labazana lami bangikhohliwe.
15 Mʼahɔho ne me mmaawa bu me sɛ ɔhɔho; mete sɛ ɔnanani ma wɔn.
Abahlala endlini yami lencekukazi zami bangibala njengowezizwe; ngingumfokazi emehlweni abo.
16 Mefrɛ me somfo, na ommua; mpo, metew mʼano srɛ no.
Ngabiza inceku yami, kodwa kayiphendulanga; ngayincenga ngomlomo wami.
17 Me home bɔn me yere; me ho afono mʼankasa nuabarimanom.
Umoya wami uyenyanyeka kumkami, sengiyisinengiso kumadodana esizalo sami.
18 Mpo, mmarimaa nkumaa bu me animtiaa; sɛ mipue a wodi me ho fɛw.
Labantwana abancinyane bayangidelela; ngasukuma, basebekhuluma bemelene lami.
19 Me nnamfo ankasa nyinaa kyi me; mʼadɔfo asɔre atia me.
Bonke abantu besifuba sami banengwa yimi, labo ebengibathanda sebengiphendukele.
20 Maka were ne nnompe, nea mede aguan nkutoo ne me se akyi nam.
Ithambo lami linamathelana lesikhumba sami lenyama yami, njalo ngiphephe ngesikhumba samazinyo ami.
21 “Munhu me mmɔbɔ, me nnamfonom, munhu mmɔbɔ, na Onyankopɔn nsa abɔ me.
Ngihawukelani, ngihawukelani, lina bangane bami; ngoba isandla sikaNkulunkulu singithintile.
22 Adɛn nti na motaa me sɛnea Onyankopɔn yɛ no? Na mommfa me honam yi saa ara?
Lingizingelelani njengoNkulunkulu, lingeneliswa yinyama yami?
23 “Ao, sɛ anka wɔde me nsɛm bɛhyɛ nhoma mu, anka wɔbɛkyerɛw wɔ nhoma mmobɔwee so,
Kungathi ngabe khathesi amazwi ami abhaliwe! Kungathi ngabe acindezelwe egwalweni!
24 anka wɔde dade pɛe bɛkyerɛw wɔ sumpii so, anaa wobekuruakyerɛw wɔ ɔbotan so afebɔɔ!
Ngabe abazwe ngepheni yensimbi langomnuso edwaleni kuze kube nininini!
25 Minim sɛ me dimafo te ase, na awiei no ɔbɛsɔre agyina asase so.
Ngoba mina ngiyazi ukuthi umhlengi wami uyaphila, lekupheleni uzakuma emhlabathini.
26 Na wɔasɛe me were awie no, mefi me were mu ahu Onyankopɔn.
Lapho sekutshabalalise lokhu emva kwesikhumba sami, kanti enyameni yami ngizambona uNkulunkulu,
27 Me ara mehu no mede mʼani, na ɛnyɛ obi foforo ani, behu no. Sɛnea me koma ho pere wɔ me mu!
mina engizazibonela yena, lamehlo ami azabona, hatshi omunye. Izinso zami seziphelile ngaphakathi kwami.
28 “Sɛ moka se, ‘Yɛbɛteetee no, efisɛ ɔhaw no fi ɔno ara a,’
Kodwa lithi: Kungani simzingela? Ngoba impande yendaba itholakala kimi.
29 ɛsɛ sɛ mo ankasa musuro afoa no na abufuw nam afoa so de asotwe bɛba, na mubehu sɛ atemmu wɔ hɔ.”
Lina yesabeni inkemba, ngoba ulaka luletha izijeziso zenkemba, ukuze lazi ukuthi sikhona isahlulelo.
