Nnwom 60
1 Dawid “Miktam” dwom. Wɔde yɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ. Ɔtoo no bere a ɔne Aram Naharanfo ne Aram Zobafo koe na Yoab san kokum Edomfo mpem dumien wɔ Nkyene Bon mu no. Onyankopɔn, woapo yɛn, woabɔ yɛn agu; wo bo afuw yɛn, nanso gye yɛn bio!
To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.
2 Woawosow asase no na woapae mu; toatoa nea abubu no, efisɛ ɛrehinhim.
Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Woama wo nkurɔfo ahu mmere bɔne; woama yɛn nsa a ɛma yɛtɔ ntintan.
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.
4 Nanso wɔn a wosuro wo de, woama wɔn frankaa so sɛ wontu ntia agyan no.
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah)
5 Gye yɛn nkwa na fa wo nsa nifa boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.
6 Onyankopɔn akasa afi ne kronkronbea se, “Nkonim mu, mɛkyɛ Sekem mu, na masusuw Sukot bon no.
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead yɛ me de; Manase nso saa ara; Efraim yɛ me dade kyɛw, Yuda yɛ mʼahempema.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
8 Moab yɛ me guasɛn, Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu; na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”
Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.
9 Hena na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hena na obedi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
10 Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?
[Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
11 Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no, na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
12 Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yebedi nkonim, na obetiatia yɛn atamfo so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde sanku na ɛto.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
