Nnwom 19
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Ɔsoro ka Onyankopɔn anuonyam! Wim pae mu ka ne nsa ano adwuma,
Unto the end. A psalm for David. The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2 Da biara, wɔkasa; anadwo biara, wɔda nimdeɛ adi.
Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3 Wonni ɔkasa, wɔnnka nsɛm; wɔnnte wɔn nne.
There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.
4 Wɔn nne akodu asase so mmaa nyinaa, na wɔn nsɛm nso akodu asase ano. Onyankopɔn asi ntamadan ama owia wɔ ɔsoro hɔ.
Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
5 Ɛte sɛ ayeforokunu a ofi ne pia mu, te sɛ ɔbran a ne ho pere no sɛ obetu ne mmirika.
He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:
6 Epue wɔ ɔsoro fa baabi na atwa ne ho akosi ano; biribiara nsiw ne hyew ho kwan.
His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
7 Awurade mmara yɛ pɛ, ɛkanyan ɔkra no. Ahotoso wɔ Awurade nhyehyɛe mu, ɛma nea onnim nyansa hu nyansa.
The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
8 Awurade ahyɛde teɛ; ɛma koma mu anigye. Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm mu da hɔ; na ebue ani.
The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
9 Awurade suro yɛ kronkron, ɛte hɔ daa. Awurade mmara nsɛm yɛ nokware na ne nyinaa teɛ.
The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
10 Ɛsom bo sen sikakɔkɔɔ ɛsen sikakɔkɔɔ kann; ɛyɛ dɛ sen ɛwo, ɛsen ɛwo a efi ɛwokyɛm mu.
More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Wɔnam so bɔ wo somfo kɔkɔ se, sodi so akatua yɛ bebree.
For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
12 Hena na ohu nʼankasa mfomso? Fa me mfomso a ahintaw kyɛ me.
Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:
13 Bɔ wʼakoa ho ban fi ɔboayɛ bɔne ho, na anhyɛ me so. Ɛno na ɛbɛma madi bem, a merenni fɔ wɔ bɔne akɛse ho.
And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
14 Ma mʼanom nsɛm ne me koma mu adwene nyɛ nea ɛsɔ wʼani, Awurade me Botan ne me Gyefo.
And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.
