Nnwom 32

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

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 to whom the LORD imputes 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 roaring 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 your hand was heavy on me: my moisture is 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 acknowledge my sin to you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and you 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 shall every one that is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near to him.

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

You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

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

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye.

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

Be you not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to you.

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 that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass 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 the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.
