Nnwom 16
1 Dawid mpaebɔ. Bɔ me ho ban, me Nyankopɔn, na wo mu na minya guankɔbea.
`Of the meke and symple, the salm of Dauid. Lord, kepe thou me, for Y haue hopid in thee;
2 Meka kyerɛɛ Awurade se, “MʼAwurade ne wo; minni ade pa biara ka wo ho.”
Y seide to the Lord, Thou art my God, for thou hast no nede of my goodis.
3 Ahotefo a wɔwɔ asase no so de, wɔne anuonyamfo a mʼanigye wɔ wɔn mu.
To the seyntis that ben in the lond of hym; he made wondurful alle my willis in hem.
4 Wɔn a wodi anyame afoforo akyi no, wɔn awerɛhow bɛdɔɔso. Merengu mogya nsa mma saa anyame no na meremfa mʼano mmɔ wɔn din.
The sikenessis of hem ben multiplied; aftirward thei hastiden. I schal not gadire togidere the conuenticulis, `ethir litle couentis, of hem of bloodis; and Y schal not be myndeful of her names bi my lippis.
5 Awurade, wode me kyɛfa ne me kuruwa ama me; woama me kyɛfa anya bammɔ.
The Lord is part of myn eritage, and of my passion; thou art, that schalt restore myn eritage to me.
6 Mʼahye akɔdeda mmeae a eye ama me; ampa ara mewɔ agyapade a ho yɛ anigye.
Coordis felden to me in ful clere thingis; for myn eritage is ful cleer to me.
7 Mɛkamfo Awurade a otu me fo; na anadwo mpo, me koma kyerɛkyerɛ me.
I schal blesse the Lord, that yaf vndurstondyng to me; ferthermore and my reynes blameden me `til to nyyt.
8 Mihu Awurade wɔ mʼani so daa nyinaa. Esiane sɛ ɔwɔ me nsa nifa nti, merenhinhim da.
I purueide euere the Lord in my siyt; for he is on the riythalf to me, that Y be not moued.
9 Ɛno nti, me kra ani gye, na mede me tɛkrɛma di ahurusi; me nipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoe mu,
For this thing myn herte was glad, and my tunge ioyede fulli; ferthermore and my fleisch schal reste in hope.
For thou schalt not forsake my soule in helle; nether thou schalt yyue thin hooli to se corrupcioun. (Sheol h7585)
11 Woakyerɛ me nkwagye kwan, na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim, na anigye a ɛrensa da wɔ wo nifa so.
Thou hast maad knowun to me the weies of lijf; thou schalt fille me of gladnesse with thi cheer; delityngis ben in thi riythalf `til in to the ende.
