Nnwom 74
1 Asaf dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, adɛn nti na woapo yɛn koraa yi? Adɛn nti na wʼabufuw hyew wʼadidibea nguan?
The lernyng of Asaph. God, whi hast thou put awei in to the ende; thi strong veniaunce is wrooth on the scheep of thi leesewe?
2 Kae nkurɔfo a wotɔɔ wɔn teteete no, abusua a ɛyɛ wʼagyapade a wugyee wɔn no, Bepɔw Sion, faako a wote hɔ.
Be thou myndeful of thi gadering togidere; which thou haddist in possessioun fro the bigynnyng. Thou ayenbouytist the yerde of thin eritage; the hille of Syon in which thou dwellidist ther ynne.
3 Dan wʼanammɔntu kyerɛ saa nnwiriwii a ɛto ntwa da yi, ɔtamfo no de saa ɔsɛe yi nyinaa aba wo kronkronbea no so.
Reise thin hondis in to the prides of hem; hou grete thingis the enemy dide wickidli in the hooli.
4 Wʼatamfo bobɔɔ mu wɔ faako a wuhyiaa yɛn no; wɔasisi wɔn mfrankaa sɛ agyiraehyɛde wɔ hɔ.
And thei that hatiden thee; hadden glorie in the myddis of thi solempnete.
5 Wɔyɛɛ wɔn sɛ nnipa a wɔrehwim mmonnua de abubu nnua a ayɛ nkyɛkyerɛ.
Thei settiden her signes, `ethir baneris, signes on the hiyeste, as in the outgoing; and thei knewen not.
6 Wɔde wɔn mmonnua ne nname bubuu nnua a wɔasen adi ho adwinni no.
As in a wode of trees thei heweden doun with axis the yatis therof in to it silf; thei castiden doun it with an ax, and a brood fallinge ax.
7 Wɔhyew wo kronkronbea no dwerɛbee; woguu faako a wo Din te no ho fi.
Thei brenten with fier thi seyntuarie; thei defouliden the tabernacle of thi name in erthe.
8 Wɔkaa wɔ wɔn koma mu se, “Yebetiatia wɔn so ayɛ wɔn pasaa!” Wɔhyew baabiara a wɔsom Onyankopɔn wɔ asase no so.
The kynrede of hem seiden togidere in her herte; Make we alle the feest daies of God to ceesse fro the erthe.
9 Wɔmmaa yɛn nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛyɛ nwonwa biara; adiyifo no asa, na yɛn mu biara nnim nna dodow a ebedi.
We han not seyn oure signes, now `no profete is; and he schal no more knowe vs.
10 Onyankopɔn, wʼatamfo bɛserew wo akosi da bɛn? Wɔn a wokyi wo no begu wo din ho fi daa ana?
God, hou long schal the enemye seie dispit? the aduersarie territh to ire thi name in to the ende.
11 Adɛn nti na woatwe wo nsa, wo nsa nifa no? Yi fi wʼatade mmobɔwee no mu na sɛe wɔn.
Whi turnest thou awei thin hoond, and `to drawe out thi riythond fro the myddis of thi bosum, til in to the ende?
12 Nanso Onyankopɔn yɛ me hene fi tete; wode nkwagye ba asase so.
Forsothe God oure kyng bifore worldis; wrouyte heelthe in the mydis of erthe.
13 Ɛyɛ wo na wode wo tumi paee po mu no; wopɛtɛw nsu mu ɔwɔ no ti.
Thou madist sad the see bi thi vertu; thou hast troblid the heedis of dragouns in watris.
14 Wopɛtɛw Lewiatan no ti na wode no maa sare so abɔde sɛ wɔn aduan.
Thou hast broke the heedis of `the dragoun; thou hast youe hym to mete to the puplis of Ethiopiens.
15 Wo na womaa nsuwa ne nsuti tuei; na womaa nsubɔnten a ɛsen yoyowee.
Thou hast broke wellis, and strondis; thou madist drie the flodis of Ethan.
16 Adekyee wɔ wo na adesae nso yɛ wo dea; wode owia ne ɔsram sisii hɔ.
The dai is thin, and the niyt is thin; thou madist the moreutid and the sunne.
17 Ɛyɛ wo na wototoo asase so ahye nyinaa; wobɔɔ ahohuru ne awɔw mmere.
Thou madist alle the endis of erthe; somer and veer tyme, thou fourmedist tho.
18 Awurade, kae sɛnea ɔtamfo no aserew wo, sɛnea nkwaseafo agu wo din ho fi.
Be thou myndeful of this thing, the enemye hath seid schenschip to the Lord; and the vnwijs puple hath excitid to ire thi name.
19 Mmfa wʼaborɔnoma nkwa mma nkekaboa; mma wo werɛ mfi wo nkurɔfo a wɔrehu amane no nkwa afebɔɔ.
Bitake thou not to beestis men knoulechenge to thee; and foryete thou not in to the ende the soulis of thi pore men.
20 Ma wʼapam no ho nhia wo, efisɛ akakabensɛm ahyɛ asase no so sum mu ma.
Biholde in to thi testament; for thei that ben maad derk of erthe, ben fillid with the housis of wickidnessis.
21 Mma wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so no mmfa animguase nsan; ma ahiafo ne mmɔborɔfo nkamfo wo din.
A meke man be not turned awei maad aschamed; a pore man and nedi schulen herie thi name.
22 Ao, Onyankopɔn, ma wo ho so na ka wo ara wʼasɛm; kae sɛnea nkwaseafo serew wo da mu nyinaa.
God, rise vp, deme thou thi cause; be thou myndeful of thin vpbreidyngis, of tho that ben al dai of the vnwise man.
23 Mmu wʼani ngu wɔn a wɔsɔre tia wo no nteɛteɛmu so, wʼatamfo gyegyeegyeyɛ a ɛkɔ soro daa no.
Foryete thou not the voices of thin enemyes; the pride of hem that haten thee, stieth euere.
