Nnwom 18
1 Awurade akoa Dawid dwom. Ɔtoo saa dwom yi maa Awurade, bere a ogyee no fii nʼatamfo nyinaa ne Saulo nsam no. Medɔ wo, Awurade, mʼahoɔden.
To victorie, the word of the Lord to Dauid; which spak the wordis of this song, in the dai in which the Lord delyuerede hym fro the hond of alle hise enemyes, and fro the hond of Saul; and he seide: Lord, my strengthe, Y schal loue thee; the Lord is my stidfastnesse, and my refuyt, and mi deliuerere.
2 Awurade ne me botantim; mʼaban ne me gyefo; me Nyankopɔn yɛ me botan. Ne mu na minya me hintabea. Ɔyɛ me nkatabo, me nkwagye abɛn ne mʼabandennen.
Mi God is myn helpere; and Y schal hope in to hym. My defendere, and the horn of myn helthe; and myn vptakere.
3 Misu frɛ Awurade; ɔno na ayeyi sɛ no, efisɛ ogye me fi mʼatamfo nsam.
I schal preise, and ynwardli clepe the Lord; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes.
4 Owu nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn kyekyeree me; na ɔsɛe asorɔkye bu faa me so.
The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the strondis of wickidnesse disturbliden me.
The sorewis of helle cumpassiden me; the snaris of deeth `bifor ocupieden me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Mʼahohia mu, misu frɛɛ Awurade. Misu frɛɛ me Nyankopɔn hwehwɛɛ mmoa. Ofi nʼasɔrefi hɔ tee me nne; me sufrɛ baa nʼanim, na ɛkɔɔ nʼasom.
In my tribulacioun Y inwardli clepide the Lord; and Y criede to my God. And he herde my vois fro his hooli temple; and my cry in his siyt entride in to hise eeris.
7 Asase wosowee na ehinhimii, na mmepɔw fapem wosowee wosuroe, efisɛ na ne bo afuw.
The erthe was mouede togidere, and tremblede togidere; the foundementis of hillis weren troblid togidere, and weren moued togidere; for he was wrooth to hem.
8 Wusiw fii ne hwene mu; ogyaframa fii nʼanom, na nnyansramma dɛw fii mu.
Smoke stiede in the ire of hym, and fier brente out fro his face; coolis weren kyndlid of hym.
9 Ofii ɔsoro baa fam; na omununkum kabii duruu nʼanan ase.
He bowide doun heuenes, and cam doun; and derknesse was vndur hise feet.
10 Ɔte kerubim so tu kɔɔ soro; gyaagyaa ne ho wɔ mframa ntaban so.
And he stiede on cherubym, and flei; he fley ouer the pennes of wyndis.
11 Ɔde sum kataa ne ho, osu a amuna tumm atwa ne ho ahyia.
And he settide derknesses his hidyng place, his tabernacle `in his cumpas; derk water was in the cloudes of the lowere eir.
12 Hann kɛse hyerɛn wɔ nʼanim, na omununkum a mparuwbo ne anyinam wɔ mu fii ne ho hyerɛn mu bae.
Ful cleer cloudis passiden in his siyt; hail and the coolis of fier.
13 Awurade bobɔɔ mu fii ɔsoro; Ɔsorosoroni no nne gyigyee bio.
And the Lord thundrid fro heuene; and the hiyeste yaf his vois, hail and the coolis of fier `camen doun.
14 Ɔtow ne bɛmma no de bɔɔ atamfo no ahwete, ɔde anyinam a ano yɛn den pam wɔn.
And he sente hise arowis, and distriede tho men; he multipliede leytis, and disturblide tho men.
15 Po mu abon ho yiyii na asase nnyinaso ho daa hɔ, esiane wʼanimka ne ahomegu a efi wo hwene mu no nti, Awurade.
And the wellis of watris apperiden; and the foundementis of the erthe weren schewid. Lord, of thi blamyng; of the brething of the spirit of thin ire.
16 Ofi soro baa fam besoo me mu; ɔtwee me fii nsu a mu dɔ mu.
He sente fro the hiyeste place, and took me; and he took me fro many watris.
17 Ogyee me fii me tamfo hoɔdenfo nsam, wɔn a wɔn ani sa me, na wɔn ho yɛ den dodo ma me no.
He delyuerede me fro my strongeste enemyes; and fro hem that hatiden me, fro thei weren coumfortid on me.
18 Wɔbaa me so wɔ mʼamanehunu da mu, nanso Awurade maa me so,
Thei camen bifor me in the dai of my turment; and the Lord was maad my defendere.
19 wode me baa baabi a hɔ trɛw; ogyee me, efisɛ nʼani sɔɔ me.
And he ledde out me in to breede; he maad me saaf, for he wolde me.
20 Awurade ne me adi no sɛnea me trenee te; wahwɛ me nsa a ho tew so atua me ka.
And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and he schal yelde to me bi the clennesse of myn hondis.
21 Manantew Awurade akwan so. Mentwee me ho mfii me Nyankopɔn ho nkɔyɛɛ bɔne ɛ.
For Y kepte the weies of the Lord; and Y dide not vnfeithfuli fro my God.
22 Madi ne mmara nyinaa so: mimmuu nʼahyɛde so.
For alle hise domes ben in my siyt; and Y puttide not awei fro me hise riytfulnessis.
23 Me ho nni asɛm wɔ Onyankopɔn anim, na matwe me ho afi bɔne ho.
And Y schal be vnwemmed with hym; and Y schal kepe me fro my wickidnesse.
24 Awurade agyina me treneeyɛ ne me nsa a ho tew wɔ nʼanim no so atua me ka.
And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi the clennesse of myn hondis in the siyt of hise iyen.
25 Woda wo ho adi sɛ ɔnokwafo kyerɛ wɔn a wodi nokware, wɔn a wodi mu nso wokyerɛ wɔn sɛ wodi mu.
With the hooli, thou schalt be hooli; and with `a man innocent, thou schalt be innocent.
26 Woyɛ kronkron ma wɔn a wɔyɛ kronkron, na amumɔyɛfo de, wukyi wɔn.
And with a chosun man, thou schalt be chosun; and with a weiward man, thou schalt be weiward.
27 Wugye ahobrɛasefo nkwa, na wobrɛ ahantanfo ase.
For thou schalt make saaf a meke puple; and thou schalt make meke the iyen of proude men.
28 Awurade, woma me kanea hyerɛn. Yiw, woma me sum dan hann.
For thou, Lord, liytnest my lanterne; my God, liytne thou my derknessis.
29 Wʼahoɔden a wode ma me nti, mitumi ka asraafo gu; me Nyankopɔn nti, mitumi foro ɔfasu.
For bi thee Y schal be delyuered fro temptacioun; and in my God Y schal `go ouer the wal.
30 Onyankopɔn de, nʼakwan yɛ pɛ; Awurade bɔhyɛ nyinaa ba mu. Ɔyɛ nkatabo ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ bammɔ wɔ ne mu.
Mi God, his weie is vndefoulid, the speches of the Lord ben examyned bi fier; he is defendere of alle men hopynge in hym.
31 Na hena na ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn ka Awurade ho? Hena na ɔyɛ Ɔbotan no? Gye sɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn no.
For whi, who is God out takun the Lord? ethir who is God outakun oure God?
32 Ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔma me ahoɔden, na ɔma me kwan yɛ pɛ.
God that hath gird me with vertu; and hath set my weie vnwemmed.
33 Ɔma mʼanammɔn ho yɛ hare sɛ ɔforote de. Ɔma me gyina sorɔnsorɔmmea.
Which made perfit my feet as of hertis; and ordeynynge me on hiye thingis.
34 Osiesie me ma ɔko, na me basa tumi kuntun kɔbere mfrafrae tadua.
Which techith myn hondis to batel; and thou hast set myn armys as a brasun bouwe.
35 Wode wo ogye boa me nkatabo, na wo nsa nifa ma me gyina. Wobrɛ wo ho ase ma meyɛ ɔkɛse.
And thou hast youe to me the kyueryng of thin helthe; and thi riythond hath vptake me. And thi chastisyng amendide me in to the ende; and thilke chastisyng of thee schal teche me.
36 Woabɔ kwan tɛtrɛɛ ama mʼanan sɛnea me nkotodwe rengurow.
Thou alargidist my paaces vndur me; and my steppis ben not maad vnstidefast.
37 Metaa mʼatamfo kɔtoo wɔn; mansan mʼakyi kosii sɛ mesɛee wɔn.
Y schal pursue myn enemyes, and Y schal take hem; and Y schal not turne til thei failen.
38 Mɛdwerɛw wɔn, na wɔantumi ansɔre, wɔhwehwee ase wɔ mʼanan ase.
I schal al to-breke hem, and thei schulen not mowe stonde; thei schulen falle vndur my feet.
39 Wode akodi ahoɔden maa me; womaa mʼatamfo bɔɔ wɔn mu ase wɔ me nan ase.
And thou hast gird me with vertu to batel; and thou hast `supplauntid, ether disseyued, vndur me men risynge ayens me.
40 Womaa mʼatamfo dan wɔn ho guanee, na mesɛe wɔn a wɔtan me.
And thou hast youe myn enemyes abac to me; and thou hast distried `men hatynge me.
41 Wosu hwehwɛɛ mmoa, nanso obiara ammegye wɔn, wɔfrɛɛ Awurade, nanso wammua.
Thei crieden, and noon was that maad hem saaf; `thei crieden to the Lord, and he herde not hem.
42 Meyam wɔn sɛ mfutuma a mframa bɔ gu; mihwiee wɔn guu sɛ mmɔnten so dontori.
And Y schal al to-breke hem, as dust bifor the face of wynd; Y schal do hem awei, as the cley of stretis.
43 Woagye me afi nnipa no ɔfow mu, woayɛ me amanaman no ti; nnipa a minnim wɔn abɛyɛ mʼasomfo.
Thou schalt delyuere me fro ayenseiyngis of the puple; thou schalt sette me in to the heed of folkis.
44 Wɔte me nka pɛ a, wɔyɛ osetie ma me; ananafo kotow mʼanim.
The puple, which Y knewe not, seruede me; in the herynge of eere it obeiede to me.
45 Wɔn nyinaa botobotow; wofi wɔn abandennen mu ba ahopopo so.
Alien sones lieden to me, alien sones wexiden elde; and crokiden fro thi pathis.
46 Awurade te ase! Ayeyi nka me Botan! Wɔmma Onyankopɔn, me Gyefo no din so!
The Lord lyueth, and my God be blessid; and the God of myn helthe be enhaunsid.
47 Ɔno ne Onyankopɔn a ɔtɔ were ma me, ɔno na ɔka amanaman hyɛ mʼase,
God, that yauest veniaunces to me, and makist suget puplis vndur me; my delyuerere fro my wrathful enemyes.
48 ɔno na ogye me fi mʼatamfo nsam. Wopagyaw me sii mʼatamfo so, wugyee me fii basabasayɛfo nsam.
And thou schalt enhaunse me fro hem, that risen ayens me; thou schalt delyuere me fro a wickid man.
49 Ɛno nti, mɛkamfo wo wɔ amanaman mu, Ao Awurade. Mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din.
Therfor, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among naciouns; and Y schal seie salm to thi name.
50 Wode nkonimdi akɛse ama wo hene; woda ɔdɔ a ɛnsa da adi kyerɛ nea woasra no ngo, wode kyerɛ Dawid, ne nʼasefo afebɔɔ. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
Magnyfiynge the helthis of his kyng; and doynge merci to his crist Dauid, and to his seed til in to the world.
