Nnwom 120

1 Ɔsoroforo dwom. Misu frɛ Awurade wɔ mʼahohiahia mu, na ogye me so.

The song of greces. Whanne Y was set in tribulacioun, Y criede to the Lord; and he herde me.

2 Awurade, gye me fi atoro ano, ne nnaadaa tɛkrɛma nsam.

Lord, delyuere thou my soule fro wickid lippis; and fro a gileful tunge.

3 Dɛn na ɔbɛyɛ wo, na dɛn na ɛka ho bio, wo nnaadaa tɛkrɛma?

What schal be youun to thee, ether what schal be leid to thee; to a gileful tunge?

4 Ɔde asraafo bɛmma a ano yɛ nnam ne nnyansramma bɛtwe wʼaso.

Scharpe arowis of the myyti; with colis that maken desolat.

5 Nnome nka me sɛ metena Mesek, na mete Kedar ntamadan mu!

Allas to me! for my dwelling in an alien lond is maad long, Y dwellide with men dwellinge in Cedar; my soule was myche a comelyng.

6 Matena wɔn a wokyi asomdwoe mu akyɛ dodo.

I was pesible with hem that hatiden pees;

7 Meyɛ asomdwoe nipa; nanso sɛ mekasa a, wɔde yɛ ɔko.

whanne Y spak to hem, thei ayenseiden me with outen cause.
