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!
Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Kulandelwa itshuni ethi, “Iluba lesiVumelwano.” Imikithamu kaDavida. Elokufundisa. Lapho alwa lo-Aramu Naharayimu lo-Aramu Zobha, njalo lapho uJowabi athi ekubuyeni kwakhe walahla phansi ama-Edomi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili eSigodini seTswayi. Ususilahlile, Oh Nkulunkulu, wabhidliza izinqaba zethu; ubukade uthukuthele, manje ake usivuselele!
2 Woawosow asase no na woapae mu; toatoa nea abubu no, efisɛ ɛrehinhim.
Usulizamazamisile ilizwe waliqhekeza; namathisela iminkenke yalo ngoba selivevezela.
3 Woama wo nkurɔfo ahu mmere bɔne; woama yɛn nsa a ɛma yɛtɔ ntintan.
Ubabonisile abantu bakho izikhathi ezilukhuni; usiphe iwayini elisenza sidiyazele.
4 Nanso wɔn a wosuro wo de, woama wɔn frankaa so sɛ wontu ntia agyan no.
Kodwa kulabo abakwesabayo usuphakamise uphawu lokubahlanganisa ndawonye.
5 Gye yɛn nkwa na fa wo nsa nifa boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
Sisindise, usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene, ukuze bonke labo obathandayo bakhululwe.
6 Onyankopɔn akasa afi ne kronkronbea se, “Nkonim mu, mɛkyɛ Sekem mu, na masusuw Sukot bon no.
UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele: “Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu, ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.
7 Gilead yɛ me de; Manase nso saa ara; Efraim yɛ me dade kyɛw, Yuda yɛ mʼahempema.
Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami; u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.
8 Moab yɛ me guasɛn, Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu; na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”
IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela, phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami; phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”
9 Hena na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hena na obedi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na? Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?
10 Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?
Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusilahlile, ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?
11 Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no, na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.
Ake usisize ezitheni zethu, ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.
12 Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yebedi nkonim, na obetiatia yɛn atamfo so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde sanku na ɛto.
Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba, njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
