Nnwom 51
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom a ɔtoo no bere a ɔde ne ho kaa Batseba na odiyifo Natan kɔɔ ne nkyɛn no. Ao, Onyankopɔn hu me mmɔbɔ, sɛnea wʼadɔe a ɛnsa da no te; wʼahummɔbɔ kɛse no nti, pepa me mmarato.
To victorie, the salm of Dauid; `whanne Nathan the prophete cam to hym, whanne he entride to Bersabee. God, haue thou merci on me; bi thi greet merci. And bi the mychilnesse of thi merciful doyngis; do thou awei my wickidnesse.
2 Hohoro mʼamumɔyɛ nyinaa na tew me ho fi me bɔne mu!
More waische thou me fro my wickidnesse; and clense thou me fro my synne.
3 Na mahu me mmarato, na mekae me bɔne daa.
For Y knouleche my wickidnesse; and my synne is euere ayens me.
4 Mayɛ mfomso atia wo; atia wo nko ara na mayɛ nea ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ wʼani so, enti wudi bem wɔ wʼatemmu mu na woteɛ wɔ wʼatemmu mu.
I haue synned to thee aloone, and Y haue do yuel bifor thee; that thou be iustified in thi wordis, and ouercome whanne thou art demed. For lo!
5 Ampa ara wɔwoo me wɔ bɔne mu, na bɔne mu na me na nyinsɛn me.
Y was conseyued in wickednessis; and my modir conceyuede me in synnes.
6 Ampa ara nokware na wohwehwɛ wɔ me mu. Wokyerɛ me nyansa a mu dɔ.
For lo! thou louedist treuthe; thou hast schewid to me the vncerteyn thingis, and pryuy thingis of thi wisdom.
7 Fa adwerɛ hohoro me ho, na me ho afi; guare me, na mɛhoa asen sukyerɛmma.
Lord, sprenge thou me with ysope, and Y schal be clensid; waische thou me, and Y schal be maad whijt more than snow.
8 Ma mente ahosɛpɛw ne anigye nka; na ma nnompe a woabubu no nni ahurusi.
Yyue thou ioie, and gladnesse to myn heryng; and boonys maad meke schulen ful out make ioye.
9 Kata wʼani wɔ me bɔne ho na pepa mʼamumɔyɛ nyinaa.
Turne awei thi face fro my synnes; and do awei alle my wickidnesses.
10 Ao, Onyankopɔn, bɔ koma a mu tew wɔ me mu, na yɛ honhom a atim no foforo wɔ me mu.
God, make thou a clene herte in me; and make thou newe a riytful spirit in my entrailis.
11 Mpam me mfi wʼanim, na nyi wo Honhom Kronkron mfi me mu.
Caste thou me not awei fro thi face; and take thou not awei fro me thin hooli spirit.
12 Fa wo nkwagye mu anigye no ma me bio, na ma me ɔpɛ honhom a ɛbɛma magyina.
Yiue thou to me the gladnesse of thyn helthe; and conferme thou me with the principal spirit.
13 Afei mɛkyerɛ nnebɔneyɛfo wʼakwan, na amumɔyɛfo bɛsan aba wo nkyɛn.
I schal teche wickid men thi weies; and vnfeithful men schulen be conuertid to thee.
14 Ao, Onyankopɔn, gye me fi mogya ho afɔdi mu. Onyame a wugye me nkwa, na me tɛkrɛma bɛto wo trenee ho dwom.
God, the God of myn helthe, delyuere thou me fro bloodis; and my tunge schal ioyfuli synge thi riytfulnesse.
15 Awurade, bue mʼano fafa, na mede mʼano bɛpae mu aka wʼayeyi.
Lord, `opene thou my lippis; and my mouth schal telle thi preysyng.
16 Wompɛ afɔrebɔ, anka mɛbɔ; wʼani nnye ɔhyew afɔre ho.
For if thou haddist wold sacrifice, Y hadde youe; treuli thou schalt not delite in brent sacrifices.
17 Onyankopɔn afɔre yɛ honhom a abotow, Onyankopɔn, worempo ahonu ne ahobrɛase koma.
A sacrifice to God is a spirit troblid; God, thou schalt not dispise a contrit herte and `maad meke.
18 Ma ɛnyɛ wo fɛ sɛ wobɛma Sion anya nkɔso wɔ wʼanigye mu; na woasi Yerusalem afasu.
Lord, do thou benygneli in thi good wille to Syon; that the wallis of Jerusalem be bildid.
19 Afei wʼani begye ɔtreneeni afɔrebɔ ho, ɔhyew afɔre a edi mu; na wɔde anantwinini bɛbɔ afɔre wʼafɔremuka so.
Thanne thou schalt take plesauntli the sacrifice of riytfulnesse, offryngis, and brent sacrifices; thanne thei schulen putte calues on thin auter.
