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!

For the chief musician; set to Shushan Eduth. A michtam of David, for teaching. When he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. God, you have cast us off; you have broken through our defenses; you have been angry; restore us again.

2 Woawosow asase no na woapae mu; toatoa nea abubu no, efisɛ ɛrehinhim.

You have made the land tremble; you have torn it apart; heal its fissures, for it is shaking.

3 Woama wo nkurɔfo ahu mmere bɔne; woama yɛn nsa a ɛma yɛtɔ ntintan.

You have made your people see difficult things; you have made us drink the wine of staggering.

4 Nanso wɔn a wosuro wo de, woama wɔn frankaa so sɛ wontu ntia agyan no.

For those who honor you, you have set up a banner to be displayed against those who carry the bow. (Selah)

5 Gye yɛn nkwa na fa wo nsa nifa boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.

So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.

6 Onyankopɔn akasa afi ne kronkronbea se, “Nkonim mu, mɛkyɛ Sekem mu, na masusuw Sukot bon no.

God has spoken in his holiness, “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion 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; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.

8 Moab yɛ me guasɛn, Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu; na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”

Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.”

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 to Edom?

10 Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?

But you, God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.

11 Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no, na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.

Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.

12 Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yebedi nkonim, na obetiatia yɛn atamfo so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde sanku na ɛto.

We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
