Nnwom 32

1 Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn amumɔyɛ akyɛ wɔn, na wɔakata wɔn bɔne so.

Blessed are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 Nhyira nka onipa a Awurade mmu ne bɔne ngu no so na nnaadaa nni ne honhom mu.

Blessed is the man to whom Jehovah does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 Bere a meyɛɛ komm no, me nnompe yɛɛ mmrɛw, apini a misii no da mu nyinaa nti.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long.

4 Awia ne anadwo wo nsa yɛɛ den wɔ me so; mʼahoɔden sae te sɛ awia bere mu ɔhyew.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. (Selah)

5 Afei, migyee me bɔne too mu. Mankata mʼamumɔyɛ so. Mekae se, “Mɛka me bɔne akyerɛ Awurade,” na wode me bɔne ho afɔdi kyɛɛ me.

I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 Enti, ma agyidifo nyinaa mmɔ wo mpae bere a wohu wo; ampa ara sɛ asu akɛse yiri a, ɛrenka no.

For this let everyone who is devout pray to thee in a time when thou may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach to him.

7 Wone me hintabea; wobɛbɔ me ho ban wɔ amanehunu mu na wode nkwagye nnwom atwa me ho ahyia.

Thou are my hiding-place. Thou will preserve me from trouble. Thou will encompass me around with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 Mɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo ɔkwan a wobɛfa so metu wo fo na mahwɛ wo so.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shall go. I will counsel thee with my eye upon thee.

9 Ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔpɔnkɔ anaa afurumpɔnkɔ a onni ntease nti wɔde nnareka ne hama na ɛdannan no, sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛba wo nkyɛn.

Become ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, else they will not come near to thee.

10 Omumɔyɛfo amanehunu dɔɔso, nanso Awurade adɔe a ɛnsa da no twa onipa a ɔde ne ho to no so no ho hyia.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trusts in Jehovah, loving kindness shall encompass him about.

11 Munni ahurusi na mo ani nnye wɔ Awurade mu, mo atreneefo; monto dwom, mo a mo koma mu tew.

Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous. And shout for joy, all ye who are upright in heart.
