Nnwom 32

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

Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [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 unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!

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

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, 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 turned into 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 unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest 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 shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

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

Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me 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 the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine 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.

Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto 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 hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.

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

Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.
