Nnwom 139
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, woahwehwɛ me mu na woahunu me.
`To victorie, the salm of Dauith. Lord, thou hast preued me, and hast knowe me;
2 Wonim mʼasetena ne me sɔreɛ; wofiri akyirikyiri hunu mʼadwene mu.
thou hast knowe my sitting, and my rising ayen.
3 Wonim mʼadifirie ne me nnaeɛ; wonim mʼakwan nyinaa.
Thou hast vndirstonde my thouytis fro fer; thou hast enquerid my path and my corde.
4 Ansa na mɛbue mʼano akasa no Ao Awurade, na wonim ne nyinaa dada.
And thou hast bifor seien alle my weies; for no word is in my tunge.
5 Woatwa me ho nyinaa ahyia na wobɔ me ho ban.
Lo! Lord, thou hast knowe alle thingis, the laste thingis and elde; thou hast formed me, and hast set thin hond on me.
6 Saa nimdeɛ yi boro me nteaseɛ so, ɛyɛ me nwanwa dodo.
Thi kunnyng is maad wondirful of me; it is coumfortid, and Y schal not mowe to it.
7 Ɛhe na mɛtumi afiri wo honhom anim akorɔ? Ɛhe na mɛtumi adwane afiri wʼanim akorɔ?
Whidir schal Y go fro thi spirit; and whider schal Y fle fro thi face?
If Y schal stie in to heuene, thou art there; if Y schal go doun to helle, thou art present. (Sheol h7585)
9 Sɛ mede adekyeeɛ ntaban tu na mekɔtena ɛpo akyi nohoa a,
If Y schal take my fetheris ful eerli; and schal dwelle in the last partis of the see.
10 mpo ɛhɔ na wo nsa bɛgya me akɔ, na wo nsa nifa bɛsɔ me mu.
And sotheli thider thin hond schal leede me forth; and thi riyt hond schal holde me.
11 Na meka sɛ, “Ampa ara esum mmɛkata me so na hann nnane adesaeɛ ntwa me ho nhyia a,”
And Y seide, In hap derknessis schulen defoule me; and the nyyt is my liytnyng in my delicis.
12 esum mpo nnyɛ sum mma wo; na anadwo bɛhyerɛn sɛ awia; esum ne hann yɛ wo pɛ.
For whi derknessis schulen not be maad derk fro thee, aud the niyt schal be liytned as the dai; as the derknessis therof, so and the liyt therof.
13 Na wo na wobɔɔ me honhom wonwonoo me wɔ me maame awotwaa mu.
For thou haddist in possessioun my reines; thou tokist me vp fro the wombe of my modir.
14 Mekamfo wo, ɛfiri sɛ woyɛɛ me anwanwakwan so a ɛyɛ hu. Wo nnwuma yɛ nwanwa. Menim ɛno yie pa ara.
I schal knouleche to thee, for thou art magnefied dreedfuli; thi werkis ben wondirful, and my soule schal knouleche ful miche.
15 Wɔamfa me bɔberɛ anhinta wo ɛberɛ a wɔyɛɛ me kɔkoam no; ɛberɛ a wɔnwonoo me asase yam no,
Mi boon, which thou madist in priuete, is not hyd fro thee; and my substaunce in the lower partis of erthe.
16 wʼani hunuu me ɛberɛ a meyɛ mogya toa no. Nna dodoɔ a woatwa ama me no, wɔatwerɛ ne nyinaa wɔ wo nwoma mu ansa na emu baako reba mu.
Thin iyen sien myn vnperfit thing, and alle men schulen be writun in thi book; daies schulen be formed, and no man is in tho.
17 Ao Onyankopɔn, wo nsusuiɛ som bo ma me! Woka ne nyinaa bɔ mu a, ɛso dodo!
Forsothe, God, thi frendis ben maad onourable ful myche to me; the princeheed of hem is coumfortid ful myche.
18 Sɛ mese mɛkan a, ne dodoɔ bɛboro mpoano anwea, sɛ menyane a, me ne wo wɔ hɔ ara.
I schal noumbre hem, and thei schulen be multiplied aboue grauel; Y roos vp, and yit Y am with thee.
19 Ao Onyankopɔn, sɛ anka wobɛkumkum amumuyɛfoɔ a! Momfiri me so, mo mogyapɛfoɔ!
For thou, God, schalt slee synneris; ye menquelleris, bowe awei fro me.
20 Wɔde adwemmɔne ka wo ho asɛm; wʼatamfoɔ mmɔ wo din pa.
For ye seien in thouyt; Take thei her citees in vanite.
21 Ao Awurade, metane wɔn a wɔtane wo, na mekyiri wɔn a wɔsɔre tia woɔ.
Lord, whether Y hatide not hem that hatiden thee; and Y failide on thin enemyes?
22 Menni hwee sɛ ɔtan a mewɔ ma wɔn; mefa wɔn sɛ mʼatamfoɔ.
Bi perfite haterede Y hatide hem; thei weren maad enemyes to me.
23 Hwehwɛ me mu, Ao Onyankopɔn, na hunu mʼakoma; sɔ me hwɛ na hunu mʼadwene.
God, preue thou me, and knowe thou myn herte; axe thou me, and knowe thou my pathis.
24 Hwɛ sɛ bɔne bi wɔ me mu a, na fa me fa ɛkwan a ɛkɔ daa nkwa so.
And se thou, if weie of wickidnesse is in me; and lede thou me forth in euerlastinge wei.
