< Nnwom 55 >
1 Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me mpaebɔ, mmu wʼani ngu me nkotosrɛ so,
Beka indlebe, Nkulunkulu, emkhulekweni wami, ungazifihli ekunxuseni kwami.
2 tie me na gye me so. Me dadwen haw me na ama mayɛ basaa,
Lalela kimi, ungiphendule; ngiyazulazula ekukhalazeni kwami, ngenza umsindo,
3 esiane nea me tamfo reka, esiane omumɔyɛfo ahunahuna nti; efisɛ wɔde amanehunu ba me so; na wofi wɔn abufuw mu kum me.
ngenxa yelizwi lesitha, ngenxa yembandezelo yomubi; ngoba bangethwesa ububi, langentukuthelo bayangizonda.
4 Me koma wɔ ahoyeraw mu; na owu huboa aba me so.
Inhliziyo yami iyafutha phakathi kwami, lezethuso zokufa ziwele phezu kwami.
5 Ehu ne ahopopo akyekyere me. Ahodwiriw abu afa me so.
Uvalo lokuthuthumela kungifikele, lokwesaba okukhulu kungigubuzele.
6 Mekae se, “Ao, sɛ mewɔ ntaban sɛ aburuburu a, anka metu akɔ ama me ho atɔ me,
Ngasengisithi: Kungathi ngabe ngilempiko njengejuba! Bengizaphaphela khatshana, ngiphumule.
7 anka metu akɔ akyirikyiri akɔtena sare so;
Khangela, bengingabalekela khatshana ngihlale enkangala. (Sela)
8 anka mɛyɛ ntɛm akɔ me hintabea, faako a mframahweam ne ahum mmɛn koraa.”
Bengizaphangisisa ukuphunyuka kwami, ngisuke emoyeni ovunguzayo, esiphephweni.
9 Awurade, ma amumɔyɛfo nyɛ basaa, na ma wɔn kasa ntoto, efisɛ mihu basabasayɛ ne aperepere wɔ kuropɔn no mu.
Sanganisa, Nkosi, yehlukanisa ulimi lwabo. Ngoba ngibone udlakela lokuxabana emzini.
10 Awia ne anadwo wɔtetɛw nʼafasu ho; adwemmɔne ne asisi wɔ mu.
Emini lebusuku bayawubhoda phezu kwemithangala yawo; njalo ububi lenkathazo kuphakathi kwawo.
11 Adesɛefo dɔm reyɛ adwuma wɔ kuropɔn no mu. Ahunahuna ne nnaadaa wɔ ne mmɔnten so daa.
Inkohlakalo iphakathi kwawo; imbandezelo lenkohliso kakusuki emgwaqweni wawo.
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.
Ngoba kakusisitha esingiyangisayo, uba kunjalo bengizakuthwala; kakusuye ongizondayo oziphakamisa phezu kwami; uba kunjalo bengizamcatshela.
13 Nanso ɛyɛ wo, ɔdesani te sɛ me, me yɔnko, mʼadamfo kann,
Kodwa nguwe, umuntu olingana lami, umngane wami lowejwayelene lami.
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.
Esasicebisana ngokumnandi sonke, saya endlini kaNkulunkulu silixuku.
15 Ma owu mmɛfa mʼatamfo mpofirim; ma wɔnkɔ ɔda mu anikann, efisɛ bɔne te wɔn mu. (Sheol )
Ukufa kakubazume, kabehlele esihogweni bephila, ngoba ububi busemizini yabo, phakathi kwabo. (Sheol )
16 Nanso misu frɛ Onyankopɔn, na Awurade gye me nkwa.
Mina ngizabiza uNkulunkulu, iNkosi ingisindise-ke.
17 Anwummere, anɔpa ne awia, mede mmɔborɔnne su frɛ no, na ɔte me nne.
Kusihlwa lekuseni lemini ngizakhalaza ngikhale kakhulu, ibisilizwa ilizwi lami.
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.
Ikhululile umphefumulo wami ngokuthula empini emelene lami, ngoba babebanengi kimi.
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.
UNkulunkulu uzakuzwa, abahluphe, ngitsho yena obehlezi endulo. (Sela) Ngoba bengelazinguquko, ngakho kabamesabi uNkulunkulu.
20 Me yɔnko tow hyɛ ne nnamfonom so; na obu nʼapam so.
Welule isandla sakhe kwabaxolelene laye, wasingcolisa isivumelwano sakhe.
21 Ɔwɔ tɛkrɛmawo, nanso ɔtan wɔ ne koma mu. Nʼano asɛm dwudwo sen ngo, nanso ɛyɛ afoa a wɔatwe.
Umlomo wakhe wawubutshelezi kulolaza, kanti inhliziyo yakhe yimpi; amazwi akhe abuthakathaka kulamafutha, kanti azinkemba ezihwatshiweyo.
22 Fa wo haw to Awurade so na ɔno na obegye wo; ɔremma ɔtreneeni nhwe ase.
Phosela umthwalo wakho phezu kweNkosi, yona izakusekela; kayiyikuvuma lanini ukuthi olungileyo anyikinywe.
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. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Aburuburu a osi Akyirikyiri Odum so,” nne so.
Kodwa wena, Nkulunkulu, uzabehlisela emgodini wokubhujiswa; abantu begazi lenkohliso kabayikufinyelela lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yensuku zabo. Kodwa mina ngizathemba kuwe.
