2 “Mobɛhyɛ me aniɛyaa na mode nsɛm abubu me akɔsi da bɛn?
Koze kube nini lihlupha umphefumulo wami, lingiphahlaza ngamazwi?
3 Mpɛn edu nie a moasopa me; mo ani nwu sɛ moto hyɛ me so.
Lezizikhathi ezilitshumi lingithela ngehlazo; kalilanhloni, lingiphatha kubi.
4 Sɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ mafom ɛkwan a, me mfomsoɔ yɛ me nko ara asɛm.
Uba-ke kuliqiniso ukuthi ngiduhile, ukuduha kwami kuzahlala lami.
5 Sɛ ampa sɛ mobɛma mo ho so wɔ me so na mode mʼanimguaseɛ ayɛ adanseɛ atia me a,
Uba isibili lizikhukhumeza phezu kwami, liphikisane lami ngehlazo lami,
6 ɛnneɛ monhunu sɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ me bɔne na ɔde nʼatena atwa me ho ahyia.
yazini-ke ukuthi nguNkulunkulu ongihlanekeleyo, wangigombolozela ngembule lakhe.
7 “Ɛwom sɛ mesu sɛ, ‘Wɔafom me’ deɛ, nanso obiara mmua me; meteam pɛ mmoa, nanso atɛntenenee biara nni hɔ.
Khangela, ngiyamemeza ngithi: Okubi! Kodwa kangiphendulwa. Ngicela usizo, kodwa akulasahlulelo.
8 Wasi me ɛkwan enti mentumi mensene; wama mʼakwan so aduru sum.
Uyivalile indlela yami ngomduli ukuze ngingedluli, wamisa umnyama emikhondweni yami.
9 Wayi mʼanimuonyam afiri me so na watu mʼahenkyɛ afiri me ti so.
Ungihlubule udumo lwami, wasusa umqhele wekhanda lami.
10 Wasɛe me akwannuasa nyinaa so de awie me; watu mʼanidasoɔ ase te sɛ dua.
Ungibhidlizile inhlangothi zonke, sengihambile, ulisiphule ithemba lami njengesihlahla.
11 Nʼabufuo huru tia me; na wakan me afra nʼatamfoɔ mu.
Ulumathisile ulaka lwakhe kimi, ungibale njengezitha zakhe kuye.
12 Nʼakodɔm ba anibereɛ so; wɔsisi mpie de tia me na wɔtwa me ntomadan ho hyia.
Amabutho akhe afika kanyekanye, abuthelela indlela yawo emelene lami, amisa inkamba agombolozela ithente lami.
13 “Wayi me nuammarima afiri me ho; na mʼamanifoɔ nso, watwe wɔn ho koraa.
Ubeke abafowethu khatshana lami, labangaziyo isibili sebengabemzini kimi.
14 Mʼabusuafoɔ kɔ; na me nnamfonom werɛ afiri me.
Izihlobo zami zinyamalele, labazana lami bangikhohliwe.
15 Mʼahɔhoɔ ne me mmaawa bu me sɛ ɔhɔhoɔ; mete sɛ ɔnanani ma wɔn.
Abahlala endlini yami lencekukazi zami bangibala njengowezizwe; ngingumfokazi emehlweni abo.
16 Mefrɛ me ɔsomfoɔ, na ɔmmua; mpo, mete mʼano srɛ no.
Ngabiza inceku yami, kodwa kayiphendulanga; ngayincenga ngomlomo wami.
17 Me home bɔn me yere; me ho afono mʼankasa nuammarima.
Umoya wami uyenyanyeka kumkami, sengiyisinengiso kumadodana esizalo sami.
18 Mpo, mmarimmaa nkumaa bu me animtiaa; sɛ mepue a wɔdi me ho fɛw.
Labantwana abancinyane bayangidelela; ngasukuma, basebekhuluma bemelene lami.
19 Me nnamfo berɛboɔ kyiri me; mʼadɔfoɔ asɔre atia me.
Bonke abantu besifuba sami banengwa yimi, labo ebengibathanda sebengiphendukele.
20 Maka honam ne nnompe, na ɛkaa kakraa bi, anka merewu.
Ithambo lami linamathelana lesikhumba sami lenyama yami, njalo ngiphephe ngesikhumba samazinyo ami.
21 “Monhunu me mmɔbɔ, me nnamfonom, monhunu mmɔbɔ, na Onyankopɔn nsa abɔ me.
Ngihawukelani, ngihawukelani, lina bangane bami; ngoba isandla sikaNkulunkulu singithintile.
22 Adɛn enti na motaa me so, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ no? Na mommfa me honam mu yea yi saa ara?
Lingizingelelani njengoNkulunkulu, lingeneliswa yinyama yami?
23 “Ao, anka wɔmfa me nsɛm nhyɛ nwoma mu, anka wɔntwerɛ wɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ so,
Kungathi ngabe khathesi amazwi ami abhaliwe! Kungathi ngabe acindezelwe egwalweni!
24 anka wɔmfa dadeɛ twerɛdua nyiyi wɔ sumpii so, anaa wɔnkrukyire wɔ abotan so afebɔɔ.
Ngabe abazwe ngepheni yensimbi langomnuso edwaleni kuze kube nininini!
25 Menim sɛ me odimafoɔ te ase, na awieeɛ no ɔbɛsɔre agyina asase so.
Ngoba mina ngiyazi ukuthi umhlengi wami uyaphila, lekupheleni uzakuma emhlabathini.
26 Na sɛ me wedeɛ wie sɛe a, mede mʼani bɛhunu Onyankopɔn.
Lapho sekutshabalalise lokhu emva kwesikhumba sami, kanti enyameni yami ngizambona uNkulunkulu,
27 Me ara mɛhunu no mede mʼani, na ɛnyɛ obi foforɔ ani, bɛhunu no. Mʼakoma ho pere no wɔ me mu.
mina engizazibonela yena, lamehlo ami azabona, hatshi omunye. Izinso zami seziphelile ngaphakathi kwami.
28 “Sɛ moka sɛ, ‘Yɛbɛteetee no, ɛfiri sɛ ɔhaw no firi ɔno ara’ a,
Kodwa lithi: Kungani simzingela? Ngoba impande yendaba itholakala kimi.
29 ɛsɛ sɛ mosuro akofena no. Abufuo nam akofena so de asotwe bɛba, na mobɛhunu sɛ atemmuo wɔ hɔ.”
Lina yesabeni inkemba, ngoba ulaka luletha izijeziso zenkemba, ukuze lazi ukuthi sikhona isahlulelo.
