Nnwom 90
1 Onyankopɔn nipa Mose mpaebɔ. Awurade, wo na woayɛ yɛn tenabea awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
The preier of Moises, the man of God. Lord, thou art maad help to vs; fro generacioun in to generacioun.
2 Ansa na wɔrebɛbɔ mmepɔw anaasɛ worebɛda asase ne wiase adi no, na woyɛ Onyankopɔn fi mmeresanten kosi mmeresanten.
Bifore that hillis weren maad, ether the erthe and the world was formed; fro the world and in to the world thou art God.
3 Woma adesamma san dan mfutuma, ka se, “Mo adesamma, monsan nkɔ mfutuma mu.”
Turne thou not awei a man in to lownesse; and thou seidist, Ye sones of men, be conuertid.
4 Mfirihyia apem yɛ wʼani so sɛ da koro a abɛsen mprempren, anaasɛ anadwo mu dɔnhwerew kakraa bi.
For a thousynde yeer ben bifore thin iyen; as yistirdai, which is passid, and as keping in the niyt.
5 Wopra nnipa kɔ, wɔ owu nna mu; wɔte sɛ sare a afefɛw anɔpa,
The yeeris of hem schulen be; that ben had for nouyt.
6 ɛfefɛw yɛ frɔmfrɔm anɔpa de, nanso anwummere ɛwo na etwintwam.
Eerli passe he, as an eerbe, eerli florische he, and passe; in the euentid falle he doun, be he hard, and wexe drie.
7 Yɛresa wɔ wʼabufuw ano na wʼanibere abɔ yɛn hu.
For we han failid in thin ire; and we ben disturblid in thi strong veniaunce.
8 Wode yɛn amumɔyɛ asi wʼanim, na yɛn kokoa mu bɔne da wʼanim hann no mu.
Thou hast set oure wickidnessis in thi siyt; oure world in the liytning of thi cheer.
9 Yɛn nna nyinaa twa mu wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu; na yɛde awerɛhowdi na ewie yɛn mfe.
For alle oure daies han failid; and we han failid in thin ire. Oure yeris schulen bithenke, as an yreyn;
10 Yɛn nkwa nna si mfe aduɔson, anaasɛ aduɔwɔtwe, sɛ yɛwɔ ahoɔden a; na mu ahohoahoade yɛ ɔhaw ne awerɛhow, na etwa mu ntɛmntɛm, na yetu kɔ.
the daies of oure yeeris ben in tho seuenti yeeris. Forsothe, if fourescoor yeer ben in myyti men; and the more tyme of hem is trauel and sorewe. For myldenesse cam aboue; and we schulen be chastisid.
11 Sɛ anka yebehu sɛ wʼabufuw mu tumi te ɛ! Wʼabufuwhyew kɛse te sɛnea wo ho suro te.
Who knew the power of thin ire; and durste noumbre thin ire for thi drede?
12 Ma yenhu yɛn nna kan sɛnea ɛte, na yɛanya nyansa koma.
Make thi riythond so knowun; and make men lerned in herte bi wisdom.
13 Tɔ wo bo ase, Awurade, enkosi da bɛn? Hu wʼasomfo mmɔbɔ.
Lord, be thou conuertid sumdeel; and be thou able to be preied on thi seruauntis.
14 Ma wʼadɔe a ɛnsa da no mmee yɛn adekyee mu, na yɛde anigye ato dwom adi ahurusi yɛn nna nyinaa mu.
We weren fillid eerli with thi merci; we maden ful out ioye, and we delitiden in alle oure daies.
15 Ma yɛn ani nnye nna bebree sɛ nna dodow a wode yɛn kɔɔ amanehunu mu no, sɛ mfirihyia dodow a yehuu ateetee no.
We weren glad for the daies in whiche thou madist vs meke; for the yeeris in whiche we siyen yuels.
16 Ma wʼasomfo nhu wo nneyɛe na wɔn mma nhu wʼanuonyam.
Lord, biholde thou into thi seruauntis, and in to thi werkis; and dresse thou the sones of hem.
17 Ma Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn adom no ntena yɛn so; na yɛn nsa ano adwuma nyɛ yiye mma yɛn; yiw, ma yɛn nsa ano adwuma nyɛ yiye.
And the schynyng of oure Lord God be on vs; and dresse thou the werkis of oure hondis on vs, and dresse thou the werk of oure hondis.
