Nnwom 78
1 Asaf dwom. Me nkurɔfo, muntie me nkyerɛkyerɛ; monyɛ aso mma mʼanom nsɛm.
Lalelani, bantu bami, umthetho wami, libeke indlebe yenu emazwini omlomo wami.
2 Mɛkasa wɔ abebu mu, mɛka ahintasɛm, teteete nneɛma no,
Ngizavula umlomo wami ngomfanekiso, ngikhuphe izimfihlakalo zendulo,
3 nneɛma a yɛate na yɛahu; nneɛma a yɛn agyanom aka ho asɛm akyerɛ yɛn.
esizizwileyo lesizaziyo, obaba abasitshela zona.
4 Yɛremfa nkame wɔn mma; yɛbɛka akyerɛ nkyirimma Awurade nneyɛe a ɛfata nkamfo no, ne tumi ne anwonwade a wayɛ no.
Kasiyikuzifihlela abantwana babo, kusizukulwana esilandelayo, silandisa izindumiso zeNkosi, lamandla ayo, lezimangaliso ezenzileyo.
5 Ɔyɛɛ ahyɛde maa Yakob na ɔyɛɛ mmara wɔ Israel, nea ɔhyɛɛ yɛn nenanom sɛ wɔnkyerɛ wɔn mma,
Ngoba wamisa ubufakazi koJakobe, wabeka umlayo koIsrayeli, awulaya obaba, ukuze bawazise abantwana babo,
6 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nkyirimma besua, mpo mmofra a wonnya nwoo wɔn, na wɔn nso akyerɛkyerɛ wɔn mma.
ukuze isizukulwana esilandelayo sazi, abantwana abazazalwa, basukume batshele abantwana babo,
7 Afei wɔde wɔn ho bɛto Onyankopɔn so, na wɔn werɛ remfi ne nneyɛe, na wobedi nʼahyɛde so.
ukuze babeke ithemba labo kuNkulunkulu, bangayikhohlwa imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kodwa bagcine imithetho yakhe;
8 Wɔrenyɛ sɛ wɔn nenanom, a na wɔyɛ asoɔdenfo ne atuatewfo, wɔn a wonni Onyankopɔn nokware wɔ wɔn koma mu na woyɛ honhom mu atorofo ma no no.
njalo bangabi njengaboyise, isizukulwana esilenkani lesivukelayo, isizukulwana esingaqondisanga inhliziyo yaso, lesimoya waso ungathembekanga kuNkulunkulu.
9 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Efraim mmarima kurakura agyan, nanso ɔko da no woguanee;
Abantwana bakoEfrayimi, behlomile betshoka ngamadandili, babuyela emuva mhla wempi.
10 Wɔanni Onyankopɔn apam no so, wɔampɛ sɛ wodi ne mmara no so.
Kabasilondolozanga isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, bala ukuhamba emlayweni wakhe.
11 Wɔn werɛ fii nea wayɛ, anwonwade a wayɛ akyerɛ wɔn no.
Bakhohlwa izenzo zakhe lezimangaliso zakhe ayebatshengisa zona.
12 Ɔyɛɛ anwonwade wɔ wɔn nenanom anim, wɔ Soan mantam a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so.
Phambi kwaboyise wenza isimangaliso elizweni leGibhithe, egangeni leZowani.
13 Ɔkyɛɛ po mu na ɔde wɔn faa mu. Ɔmaa nsu no gyinaa sɛ afasu.
Waqhekeza ulwandle, wabachaphisa, wenza amanzi ema njengenqumbi.
14 Ɔde omununkum dii wɔn anim awia na ɔde ogyatɛn dii wɔn anim anadwo nyinaa.
Wabakhokhela ngeyezi emini, lebusuku bonke ngokukhanya komlilo.
15 Ɔpaee ɔbotan mu wɔ sare so, na ɔmaa wɔn nsu a ɛdɔɔso sɛ po;
Waqhekeza amadwala enkangala, wabanathisa kungathi kuvela ezinzikini ezinkulu.
16 Ɔmaa asuti fii abotan mu na ɔmaa nsu sen sɛ nsubɔnten.
Waseveza izifula edwaleni, wenza amanzi ehla njengemifula.
17 Nanso wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ bɔne tiaa no, wɔsɔre tiaa Ɔsorosoroni no wɔ sare no so.
Kodwa baphinda futhi ukona kuye, ngokumvukela oPhezukonke enkangala.
18 Wɔhyɛɛ da kaa aduan a wɔpɛ, de sɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛe.
Bamlinga uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yabo ngokucela ukudla kwenkanuko yabo.
19 Wɔkasa tiaa Onyankopɔn se, “Onyankopɔn betumi ato pon wɔ sare so ana?
Basebekhuluma bemelene loNkulunkulu bathi: UNkulunkulu angalungisa itafula enkangala yini?
20 Ɔde ade bɔɔ ɔbotan mu no, nsu tue fii mu, na nsuwa sen buu so. Na obetumi ama yɛn aduan nso? Obetumi ama ne nkurɔfo nam ana?”
Khangela, watshaya idwala, kwampompoza amanzi, lezifula zagabha; anganika lesinkwa yini? angalungisela abantu bakhe inyama na?
21 Bere a Awurade tee nea wɔreka no, ne bo fuw yiye; ne gya beguu Yakob so, na nʼabufuwhyew sɔre tiaa Israel,
Ngakho iNkosi yezwa yathukuthela; umlilo wasubaselwa uJakobe, njalo lolaka lwavukela uIsrayeli,
22 efisɛ na wonni Onyankopɔn mu gyidi anaasɛ ne nkwagye mu ahotoso.
ngoba kabakholwanga kuNkulunkulu, kabathembanga esindisweni lwakhe.
23 Nanso ɔkasa kyerɛɛ ɔsoro wɔ ɔhyɛ so; na obuee ɔsorosoro apon.
Lanxa walaya amayezi ngaphezulu, wavula iminyango yamazulu,
24 Ɔtɔɔ mana guu fam maa nnipa no sɛ wunni, ɔmaa wɔn ɔsoro aduan.
wabanisela imana ukuthi badle, wabapha amabele amazulu.
25 Nnipa dii abɔfo aduan; ɔmaa wɔn aduan a wobetumi adi nyinaa.
Umuntu wadla isinkwa sabalamandla; wabathumela ukudla ukuze basuthe.
26 Ogyaa apuei mframa fi ɔsoro, na ofi ne tumi mu bɔɔ atɔe mframa.
Wenza umoya wempumalanga wavunguza emazulwini; langamandla akhe waqhuba umoya weningizimu.
27 Ɔtɔɔ nam sɛ mfutuma guu wɔn so, nnomaa a wotu bebree sɛ mpoano nwea.
Wasenisela phezu kwabo inyama njengothuli, lenyoni ezilempiko njengetshebetshebe lolwandle;
28 Ɔma wɔbaa fam kɔɔ wɔn atenae, ne wɔn ntamadan ho nyinaa.
wazenza zawela phakathi kwenkamba yabo, zagombolozela indawo zabo zokuhlala.
29 Wodidi maa aduan no boroo wɔn so efisɛ ɔmaa wɔn nea wɔhwehwɛ.
Ngakho badla basutha kakhulu, ngoba wabalethela isiloyiso sabo.
30 Nanso ansa na wobefi aduan a wɔhwehwɛ no ho, bere a ɛhyehyɛ wɔn anom mpo no,
Kabehlukananga lenkanuko yabo; ukudla kusesemlonyeni wabo,
31 Onyankopɔn abufuw sɔree wɔn so; okum ahoɔdenfo a wɔwɔ wɔn mu twitwaa Israel mmerante gui.
ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwaselubavukela, wabulala kwabakhulupheleyo babo, watshaya abakhethiweyo bakoIsrayeli.
32 Eyinom nyinaa akyi, wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ bɔne; nʼanwonwade akyi no, wɔannye anni.
Kulokhu konke bajinga besona, njalo kabakholwanga ngenxa yezimangaliso zakhe.
33 Enti otwaa wɔn nna so te sɛ ahuru yɛɛ wɔn mfe awiei huhuuhu.
Ngakho waziqeda izinsuku zabo ngeze, leminyaka yabo ovalweni.
34 Bere biara a Onyankopɔn bekum wɔn no, wɔhwehwɛ no na wɔpere wɔn ho san ba ne nkyɛn.
Lapho ebabulala, bamdinga, baphenduka, bamdingisisa uNkulunkulu.
35 Wɔkaee sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ wɔn botan, sɛ Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn no yɛ wɔn Gyefo.
Bakhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulidwala labo, loNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ungumhlengi wabo.
36 Nanso wɔde wɔn ano bɛdaadaa no, na wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma atwa atoro akyerɛ no;
Kodwa bamyenga ngomlomo wabo, baqamba amanga kuye ngolimi lwabo.
37 wɔn koma nni no nokware, na wonni nʼapam no so.
Ngoba inhliziyo yabo yayingaqondanga kuye, njalo bengathembekanga esivumelwaneni sakhe.
38 Nanso na ɔyɛ ahummɔbɔ; ɔde wɔn amumɔyɛ kyɛɛ wɔn a wansɛe wɔn. Mpɛn pii, ɔtwentwɛn nʼabufuw so na wanhwie nʼabufuwhyew nyinaa.
Kodwa yena elesihawu wathethelela ububi babo, kababhubhisanga; yebo, kanengi walunqanda ulaka lwakhe, kakuvusanga konke ukuthukuthela kwakhe.
39 Ɔkaee sɛ wɔyɛ ɔhonam ara kwa, mframa bi a ɛbɔ twa mu na ɛnsan nʼakyi.
Ngoba wakhumbula ukuthi bayinyama, umoya odlulayo, ongabuyiyo.
40 Mpɛn ahe na wɔansɔre antia no wɔ sare no so hɔ, na mpɛn ahe na wɔamma ne werɛ anhow wɔ asase wosee no so!
Kanengi kangakanani bemvukela ehlane, bemdabukisa enkangala.
41 Wɔsɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛɛ bere biara; na woyii Israel Ɔkronkronni no abufuw.
Yebo baphenduka bamlinga uNkulunkulu, bamdabukisa oNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
42 Wɔn werɛ fii ne tumi no, da a ogyee wɔn fii wɔn nhyɛsofo nsam no,
Kabasikhumbulanga isandla sakhe, usuku abahlenga ngalo esitheni.
43 da a ɔyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne nwonwaso wɔ Misraim no ne nʼanwonwade wɔ Soan mantam mu no.
Ukuthi wamisa njani izibonakaliso zakhe eGibhithe, lezimangaliso zakhe emmangweni weZowani,
44 Ɔmaa wɔn nsubɔnten dan mogya; wɔantumi annom wɔn nsuten mu nsu.
lokuthi waphendula imifula yabo yaba ligazi, lezifula zabo, ukuze banganathi.
45 Ɔmaa nwansenadɔm baa wɔn so bɛhaw wɔn na mpɔtorɔ nso bɛsɛee wɔn asase.
Wathumela phakathi kwabo umtshitshi wezibawu, ezabadlayo, lamaxoxo ababhubhisayo.
46 Ɔmaa tɛwtɛw bedii wɔn mfuw so aduan na ɔde wɔn nnɔbae nso maa mmoadabi.
Wasenika imihogoyi isivuno sabo, lomsebenzi wabo isikhonyane.
47 Ɔde mparuwbo sɛee wɔn bobe na ɔde sukyerɛmma sɛee wɔn ankye nnua.
Wabulala ivini labo ngesiqhotho, lemikhiwa yabo yesikhamore ngongqwaqwane.
48 Ɔde sukyerɛmma kum wɔn anantwi ɔde anyinam kum wɔn nyɛmmoa.
Wasenikela izifuyo zabo esiqhothweni, lemihlambi yabo kuyo imibane.
49 Ohwiee nʼabufuwhyew guu wɔn so, abufuw, anibere ne ɔtan; abɔfo asɛefo kuw no.
Waphosela phezu kwabo ukuvutha kolaka lwakhe, ukuthukuthela, lokucunuka, lokuhlupheka, ngokuthuma izithunywa zobubi.
50 Ɔbɔɔ kwan maa nʼabufuw; na wamfa wɔn nkwa ankyɛ wɔn, mmom, ɔde wɔn maa ɔyaredɔm.
Walungisela ulaka lwakhe indlela, kanqandanga umphefumulo wabo ekufeni, kodwa wanikela impilo yabo kumatshayabhuqe wesifo.
51 Okunkum Misraimfo mmakan nyinaa, Ham ntamadan mu nnipa mu abakan.
Wasetshaya wonke amazibulo eGibhithe, okokuqala kwamandla emathenteni kaHamu.
52 Nanso oyii ne nkurɔfo fii mu sɛ nguankuw; odii wɔn anim sɛ nguan wɔ sare no so.
Wasebakhupha abantu bakhe njengezimvu, wabakhokhela enkangala njengomhlambi.
53 Odii wɔn anim dwoodwoo, enti wɔansuro; nanso wɔn atamfo de, po asorɔkye bu faa wɔn so.
Wasebakhokhela bephephile ukuze bangesabi; kodwa ulwandle lwasibekela izitha zabo.
54 Sɛɛ na ɔyɛ de wɔn baa nʼasase kronkron no ahye so, bepɔw asase a ɔde ne nsa nifa gyee no.
Wasebafikisa emkhawulweni wendawo yakhe engcwele, le intaba, isandla sakhe sokunene esayizuzayo.
55 Ɔpam amanaman a wɔwɔ wɔn anim no na ɔkyekyɛɛ wɔn nsase no mu maa wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapade; ɔbɔɔ Israel mmusuakuw no atenase wɔ wɔn afi mu.
Wasebaxotsha abezizwe phambi kwabo; wababela ilifa ngomzila, wahlalisa izizwe zakoIsrayeli emathenteni azo.
56 Nanso wɔsɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛe, na wɔsɔre tiaa Ɔsorosoroni no; na wɔanni ne mmara so.
Kanti bamlinga, bamvukela uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, kabazigcinanga izifakazelo zakhe.
57 Wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔn agyanom, wɔanni nokware na wɔannya gyidi, ahotoso nni wɔn mu na wɔte sɛ agyan a asɛe.
Kodwa babuyela emuva, benza ngokungathembeki njengaboyise, baphanjulwa njengedandili elikhohlisayo.
58 Wɔde wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea hyɛɛ no abufuw na wɔn ahoni maa ne ninkutwe mu yɛɛ den.
Ngoba bamthukuthelisa ngezindawo zabo eziphakemeyo, bavusa umona wakhe ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo.
59 Onyankopɔn tee wɔn nka no, ne bo fuwii; na ɔpoo Israel korakora.
UNkulunkulu esizwa wathukuthela, wamenyanya kakhulu uIsrayeli.
60 Ogyaw nʼatenae a ɛwɔ Silo no, ntamadan a wasi wɔ nnipa mu no.
Ngakho walitshiya ithabhanekele leShilo, ithente alimisa phakathi kwabantu.
61 Ɔde Apam Adaka a ɛyɛ ne tumi no kɔɔ nnommum mu, nʼanuonyam kɔɔ atamfo nsam.
Wasenikela amandla akhe ekuthunjweni, lenkazimulo yakhe esandleni sesitha.
62 Ɔde ne nkurɔfo maa afoa; ne bo fuw nʼagyapade yiye.
Wasenikela abantu bakhe enkembeni, waselithukuthelela ilifa lakhe.
63 Ogya hyew wɔn mmerante kum wɔn, na wɔn mmabaa annya ayeforohyia dwom anto;
Umlilo waqeda amajaha abo, lezintombi zabo kazihlatshelelwanga.
64 Wɔn asɔfo wuwuu afoa ano, na wɔn akunafo antumi ansu.
Abapristi babo bawa ngenkemba, labafelokazi babo kabalilanga.
65 Afei Awurade sɔree sɛnea ofi nna mu no, sɛnea ɔbarima a wabow nsa nyan fi nnahɔɔ mu no.
Khona iNkosi yavuka njengobelele, njengeqhawe eliklabalala ngenxa yewayini.
66 Ɔbobɔɔ nʼatamfo ma woguan kɔɔ wɔn akyi; ɔhyɛɛ wɔn aniwu afebɔɔ.
Yazitshaya izitha zayo emuva, yazithela ihlazo phakade.
67 Afei ɔpoo Yosef ntamadan no, na wamfa Efraim abusuakuw no nso;
Yasilahla ithente likaJosefa, kayikhethanga isizwe sakoEfrayimi.
68 Na mmom, ɔfaa Yuda abusuakuw no, Bepɔw Sion a ɔdɔ no no.
Kodwa yakhetha isizwe sakoJuda, intaba yeZiyoni eyithandayo.
69 Osii ne kronkronbea te sɛ sorɔnsorɔmmea, te sɛ asase a etim hɔ daa.
Yayakha indlu yayo engcwele njengezingqonga, njengomhlaba ewusekeleyo kuze kube nininini.
70 Oyii ne somfo Dawid, ɔfrɛɛ no fii nguannan mu;
Yasikhetha uDavida inceku yayo, yamthatha ezibayeni zezimvu;
71 fii nguan akyi na ɔde no bae se ɔmmɛyɛ oguanhwɛfo mma ne nkurɔfo Yakob, mma Israel a wɔyɛ nʼagyapade.
ekulandeleni izimvukazi ezenyisayo, yamletha ukwelusa uJakobe abantu bayo, loIsrayeli ilifa layo.
72 Na Dawid de koma pa hwɛɛ wɔn so na ɔde ne nimdeɛ dii wɔn anim.
Njalo wabelusa njengobuqotho benhliziyo yakhe, wabakhokhela ngobugabazi bezandla zakhe.
