Nnwom 55
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde sanku na ɛto. Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me mpaebɔ, mmu wʼani ngu me nkotosrɛ so,
`In Ebreu thus, To victorie in orguns, the lernyng of Dauid. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomer in salmes of Dauid lernid. God, here thou my preier, and dispise thou not my biseching;
2 tie me na gye me so. Me dadwen haw me na ama mayɛ basaa,
yyue thou tent to me, and here thou me. I am sorewful in myn exercising; and Y am disturblid of the face of the enemye,
3 esiane nea me tamfo reka, esiane omumɔyɛfo ahunahuna nti; efisɛ wɔde amanehunu ba me so; na wofi wɔn abufuw mu kum me.
and of the tribulacioun of the synner. For thei bowiden wickidnessis in to me; and in ire thei weren diseseful to me.
4 Me koma wɔ ahoyeraw mu; na owu huboa aba me so.
Myn herte was disturblid in me; and the drede of deth felde on me.
5 Ehu ne ahopopo akyekyere me. Ahodwiriw abu afa me so.
Drede and trembling camen on me; and derknessis hiliden me.
6 Mekae se, “Ao, sɛ mewɔ ntaban sɛ aburuburu a, anka metu akɔ ama me ho atɔ me,
And Y seide, Who schal yyue to me fetheris, as of a culuer; and Y schal fle, and schal take rest?
7 anka metu akɔ akyirikyiri akɔtena sare so;
Lo! Y yede fer awei, and fledde; and Y dwellide in wildirnesse.
8 anka mɛyɛ ntɛm akɔ me hintabea, faako a mframahweam ne ahum mmɛn koraa.”
I abood hym, that made me saaf fro the litilnesse, `ether drede, of spirit; and fro tempest.
9 Awurade, ma amumɔyɛfo nyɛ basaa, na ma wɔn kasa ntoto, efisɛ mihu basabasayɛ ne aperepere wɔ kuropɔn no mu.
Lord, caste thou doun, departe thou the tungis of hem; for Y siy wickidnesse and ayenseiyng in the citee.
10 Awia ne anadwo wɔtetɛw nʼafasu ho; adwemmɔne ne asisi wɔ mu.
Bi dai and nyyt wickidnesse schal cumpasse it on the wallis therof;
11 Adesɛefo dɔm reyɛ adwuma wɔ kuropɔn no mu. Ahunahuna ne nnaadaa wɔ ne mmɔnten so daa.
and trauel and vnriytfulnesse ben in the myddis therof. And vsure and gile failide not; fro the stretis therof.
12 Sɛ ɛyɛɛ ɔtamfo na ɔresopa me a, anka metumi agyina ano; sɛ ɛyɛɛ ɔtamfo na ɔrema ne ho so atia me a, anka metumi de me ho ahintaw no.
For if myn enemye hadde cursid me; sotheli Y hadde suffride. And if he, that hatide me, hadde spoke greet thingis on me; in hap Y hadde hid me fro hym.
13 Nanso ɛyɛ wo, ɔdesani te sɛ me, me yɔnko, mʼadamfo kann,
But thou art a man of o wille; my leeder, and my knowun.
14 a kan no na me ne no wɔ ayɔnkofa a mu yɛ den bere a yɛn nyinaa bɔɔ mu yuu kɔɔ Onyankopɔn fi na yɛka asomfo no ho no.
Which tokist togidere swete meetis with me; we yeden with consent in the hous of God.
Deth come on hem; and go thei doun quyk in to helle. For weiwardnessis ben in the dwelling places of hem; in the myddis of hem. (Sheol h7585)
16 Nanso misu frɛ Onyankopɔn, na Awurade gye me nkwa.
But Y criede to thee, Lord; and the Lord sauede me.
17 Anwummere, anɔpa ne awia, mede mmɔborɔnne su frɛ no, na ɔte me nne.
In the euentid and morewtid and in myddai Y schal telle, and schewe; and he schal here my vois.
18 Ɔde ne ho bɔ afɔre ma minya me ti didi mu wɔ ako a wodi tia me no mu, mpo dodow na wɔsɔre tia me.
He schal ayenbie my soule in pees fro hem, that neiyen to me; for among manye thei weren with me.
19 Onyankopɔn a wɔasi no hene afebɔɔ no, ɔbɛte wɔn nka na wahaw wɔn, ɔbɛhaw nnipa a wɔnsakra wɔn akwan da na wonsuro Onyankopɔn nso.
God schal here; and he that is bifore the worldis schal make hem low. For chaungyng is not to hem, and thei dredden not God;
20 Me yɔnko tow hyɛ ne nnamfonom so; na obu nʼapam so.
he holdith forth his hoond in yelding. Thei defouliden his testament,
21 Ɔwɔ tɛkrɛmawo, nanso ɔtan wɔ ne koma mu. Nʼano asɛm dwudwo sen ngo, nanso ɛyɛ afoa a wɔatwe.
the cheris therof weren departid fro ire; and his herte neiyede. The wordis therof weren softer than oyle; and tho ben dartis.
22 Fa wo haw to Awurade so na ɔno na obegye wo; ɔremma ɔtreneeni nhwe ase.
Caste thi cure on the Lord, and he schal fulli nurische thee; and he schal not yyue with outen ende flotering to a iust man.
23 Nanso wo, Onyankopɔn, wobɛbrɛ amumɔyɛfo ase ama wɔakɔ ɔporɔw amoa mu; mogyapɛfo ne nnaadaafo renni wɔn nkwanna mu fa. Nanso me de, mede me ho to wo so.
But thou, God, schalt lede hem forth; in to the pit of deth. Menquelleris and gilours schulen not haue half her daies; but, Lord, Y schal hope in thee.
