Nnwom 16
1 Dawid mpaebɔ. Bɔ me ho ban, me Nyankopɔn, na wo mu na minya guankɔbea.
Imikithamu kaDavida. Ngilondoloza, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngiphephela kuwe.
2 Meka kyerɛɛ Awurade se, “MʼAwurade ne wo; minni ade pa biara ka wo ho.”
Ngathi kuThixo, “UnguThixo wami; ngaphandle kwakho angilakho okuhle.”
3 Ahotefo a wɔwɔ asase no so de, wɔne anuonyamfo a mʼanigye wɔ wɔn mu.
Labo abangcwele abakhona elizweni bangabakhazimulayo engithokoza ngabo.
4 Wɔn a wodi anyame afoforo akyi no, wɔn awerɛhow bɛdɔɔso. Merengu mogya nsa mma saa anyame no na meremfa mʼano mmɔ wɔn din.
Labo abagijimela abanye onkulunkulu inhlupho zabo zizakwanda. Angiyi kuyithulula iminikelo yegazi kubonkulunkulu labo njalo amabizo abo kawayikuphuma kwezami izindebe.
5 Awurade, wode me kyɛfa ne me kuruwa ama me; woama me kyɛfa anya bammɔ.
Thixo, usungahlukanisele isabelo sami kanye lenkezo yami; konke okwami usukumise kuhle.
6 Mʼahye akɔdeda mmeae a eye ama me; ampa ara mewɔ agyapade a ho yɛ anigye.
Imingcele yesabelo sami idabula ezindaweni ezibukekayo; ngeqiniso elami ilifa liyathokozisa.
7 Mɛkamfo Awurade a otu me fo; na anadwo mpo, me koma kyerɛkyerɛ me.
Ngizamdumisa uThixo, onguye ongelulekayo; lasebusuku inhliziyo yami iyangiqondisa.
8 Mihu Awurade wɔ mʼani so daa nyinaa. Esiane sɛ ɔwɔ me nsa nifa nti, merenhinhim da.
Ngikhangele kuThixo kokuphela. Njengoba esesandleni sami sokunene angiyi kunyikinywa.
9 Ɛno nti, me kra ani gye, na mede me tɛkrɛma di ahurusi; me nipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoe mu,
Ngakho-ke inhliziyo yami iyathokoza lolimi lwami luyajabula; lomzimba wami uzaphumula uvikelekile,
ngoba kawuzukungiyekela ngize ngiye endaweni yabafileyo, njalo kawusoze wekele othembekileyo wakho ezwe ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
11 Woakyerɛ me nkwagye kwan, na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim, na anigye a ɛrensa da wɔ wo nifa so.
Usungazisile indlela yempilo; uzangigcwalisa ngokuthaba phambi kwakho, ngenjabulo engapheliyo kwesokunene sakho.
