Nnwom 18
1 Awurade akoa Dawid dwom. Ɔtoo saa dwom yi maa Awurade, ɛberɛ a ɔgyee no firii nʼatamfoɔ nyinaa ne Saulo nsam no. Medɔ wo, Ao Awurade, mʼahoɔden.
To victorie, the word of the Lord to Dauid; which spak the wordis of this song, in the dai in which the Lord delyuerede hym fro the hond of alle hise enemyes, and fro the hond of Saul; and he seide: Lord, my strengthe, Y schal loue thee; the Lord is my stidfastnesse, and my refuyt, and mi deliuerere.
2 Awurade ne me botantim; mʼaban ne me gyefoɔ; me Onyankopɔn ne me botan Ne mu na menya me hintabea. Ɔyɛ mʼakokyɛm, me nkwagyeɛ abɛn ne mʼabandenden.
Mi God is myn helpere; and Y schal hope in to hym. My defendere, and the horn of myn helthe; and myn vptakere.
3 Mesu frɛ Awurade; ɔno na ayɛyie sɛ no, ɛfiri sɛ ɔgye me firi mʼatamfoɔ nsam.
I schal preise, and ynwardli clepe the Lord; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes.
4 Owuo nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn kyekyeree me; na ɔsɛeɛ asorɔkye bu faa me so.
The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the strondis of wickidnesse disturbliden me.
The sorewis of helle cumpassiden me; the snaris of deeth `bifor ocupieden me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Mʼahohia mu, mesu mefrɛɛ Awurade. Mesu mefrɛɛ me Onyankopɔn pɛɛ mmoa. Ɔfiri nʼasɔrefie hɔ tee me nne; me sufrɛ baa nʼanim, na ɛkɔɔ nʼasom.
In my tribulacioun Y inwardli clepide the Lord; and Y criede to my God. And he herde my vois fro his hooli temple; and my cry in his siyt entride in to hise eeris.
7 Asase wosoeɛ na ɛhinhimeɛ, na mmepɔ fapem wosoeɛ wɔsuroeɛ ɛfiri sɛ na ne bo afu.
The erthe was mouede togidere, and tremblede togidere; the foundementis of hillis weren troblid togidere, and weren moued togidere; for he was wrooth to hem.
8 Wisie firii ne hwene mu; ogyaframa firii nʼanom, na egyasramma dɛre firii mu.
Smoke stiede in the ire of hym, and fier brente out fro his face; coolis weren kyndlid of hym.
9 Ɔfirii ɔsoro baa fam; na omununkum kabii duruu ne nan ase.
He bowide doun heuenes, and cam doun; and derknesse was vndur hise feet.
10 Ɔte Kerubim so tu kɔɔ soro; gyaagyaa ne ho wɔ mframa ntaban so.
And he stiede on cherubym, and flei; he fley ouer the pennes of wyndis.
11 Ɔde sum kataa ne ho, osu a amuna tumm atwa ne ho ahyia.
And he settide derknesses his hidyng place, his tabernacle `in his cumpas; derk water was in the cloudes of the lowere eir.
12 Hann kɛseɛ hyerɛn wɔ nʼanim, na omununkum a asukɔtweaa ne anyinam wɔ mu firii ne ho hyerɛn mu baeɛ.
Ful cleer cloudis passiden in his siyt; hail and the coolis of fier.
13 Awurade bobɔɔ mu firii soro; Ɔsorosoroni no nne gyegyeeɛ bio.
And the Lord thundrid fro heuene; and the hiyeste yaf his vois, hail and the coolis of fier `camen doun.
14 Ɔtoo ne bɛmma no de bɔɔ atamfoɔ no hweteeɛ, ɔde anyinam a ano yɛn den pamoo wɔn.
And he sente hise arowis, and distriede tho men; he multipliede leytis, and disturblide tho men.
15 Ɛpo mu mmɔnka ho yiyiiɛ na asase nnyinasoɔ ho daa hɔ, ɛsiane wʼanimka ne ahomeguo a ɛfiri wo hwene mu no enti, Ao Awurade.
And the wellis of watris apperiden; and the foundementis of the erthe weren schewid. Lord, of thi blamyng; of the brething of the spirit of thin ire.
16 Ɔfiri ɔsoro baa ɛfam bɛsɔɔ me mu; ɔtwee me firii nsuo a emu dɔ mu.
He sente fro the hiyeste place, and took me; and he took me fro many watris.
17 Ɔgyee me firii me ɔtamfoɔ hoɔdenfoɔ nsam, wɔn a wɔn ani sa me, na wɔn ho yɛ den dodo ma me no.
He delyuerede me fro my strongeste enemyes; and fro hem that hatiden me, fro thei weren coumfortid on me.
18 Wɔbaa me so wɔ mʼamanehunu da mu, nanso Awurade pagyaa me.
Thei camen bifor me in the dai of my turment; and the Lord was maad my defendere.
19 Ɔde me baa baabi a ɛhɔ trɛ; ɔgyee me, ɛfiri sɛ nʼani sɔɔ me.
And he ledde out me in to breede; he maad me saaf, for he wolde me.
20 Awurade ne me adi no sɛdeɛ me tenenee teɛ; wahwɛ me nsa a ɛho teɛ so atua me ka.
And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and he schal yelde to me bi the clennesse of myn hondis.
21 Manante Awurade akwan so. Mentwee me ho mfirii me Onyankopɔn ho nkɔyɛɛ bɔne.
For Y kepte the weies of the Lord; and Y dide not vnfeithfuli fro my God.
22 Madi ne mmara nyinaa so: memmuu nʼahyɛdeɛ so.
For alle hise domes ben in my siyt; and Y puttide not awei fro me hise riytfulnessis.
23 Me ho nni asɛm wɔ Onyankopɔn anim, na matwe me ho afiri bɔne ho.
And Y schal be vnwemmed with hym; and Y schal kepe me fro my wickidnesse.
24 Awurade agyina me teneneeyɛ ne me nsa a ɛho teɛ wɔ nʼanim so atua me ka.
And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi the clennesse of myn hondis in the siyt of hise iyen.
25 Woda wo ho adi sɛ ɔnokwafoɔ kyerɛ wɔn a wɔdi nokorɛ, wɔn a wɔdi mu nso wo kyerɛ wɔn sɛ wodi mu.
With the hooli, thou schalt be hooli; and with `a man innocent, thou schalt be innocent.
26 Woyɛ kronn ma wɔn a wɔyɛ kronn, na amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, wokyiri wɔn.
And with a chosun man, thou schalt be chosun; and with a weiward man, thou schalt be weiward.
27 Wogye ahobrɛasefoɔ nkwa, na wobrɛ ahantanfoɔ ase.
For thou schalt make saaf a meke puple; and thou schalt make meke the iyen of proude men.
28 Ao Awurade, woyɛ me kanea. Aane, woma me sum dane hann.
For thou, Lord, liytnest my lanterne; my God, liytne thou my derknessis.
29 Wʼahoɔden a wode ma me enti, metumi ka akodɔm gu; me Onyankopɔn enti, metumi foro ɔfasuo.
For bi thee Y schal be delyuered fro temptacioun; and in my God Y schal `go ouer the wal.
30 Onyankopɔn deɛ, nʼakwan yɛ pɛ; Awurade bɔhyɛ nyinaa ba mu. Ɔyɛ akokyɛm ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ banbɔ wɔ ne mu.
Mi God, his weie is vndefoulid, the speches of the Lord ben examyned bi fier; he is defendere of alle men hopynge in hym.
31 Na hwan na ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn ka Awurade ho? Na hwan na ɔyɛ Ɔbotan no, gye sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn no.
For whi, who is God out takun the Lord? ethir who is God outakun oure God?
32 Ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔma me ahoɔden, na ɔma me kwan yɛ pɛ.
God that hath gird me with vertu; and hath set my weie vnwemmed.
33 Ɔma mʼanammɔn ho yɛ hare sɛ ɔforoteɛ deɛ. Ɔma me gyina sorɔnsorɔmmea.
Which made perfit my feet as of hertis; and ordeynynge me on hiye thingis.
34 Ɔsiesie me ma ɔko, na mʼabasa tumi kuntunu kɔbere mfrafraeɛ tadua.
Which techith myn hondis to batel; and thou hast set myn armys as a brasun bouwe.
35 Wode wo nkonimdie akokyɛm ma me, na wo nsa nifa kura me. Wobrɛ wo ho ase ma meyɛ kɛseɛ.
And thou hast youe to me the kyueryng of thin helthe; and thi riythond hath vptake me. And thi chastisyng amendide me in to the ende; and thilke chastisyng of thee schal teche me.
36 Woabɔ ɛkwan tɛtrɛɛ ama me nan sɛdeɛ ɛrenwatiri.
Thou alargidist my paaces vndur me; and my steppis ben not maad vnstidefast.
37 Metaa mʼatamfoɔ kɔtoo wɔn; mansane mʼakyi kɔsii sɛ mesɛee wɔn.
Y schal pursue myn enemyes, and Y schal take hem; and Y schal not turne til thei failen.
38 Mɛdwerɛ wɔn, na wɔantumi ansɔre, wɔhwehwee ase wɔ me nan ase.
I schal al to-breke hem, and thei schulen not mowe stonde; thei schulen falle vndur my feet.
39 Wode akodie ahoɔden maa me; womaa mʼatamfoɔ bɔɔ wɔn mu ase wɔ me nan ase.
And thou hast gird me with vertu to batel; and thou hast `supplauntid, ether disseyued, vndur me men risynge ayens me.
40 Womaa mʼatamfoɔ danee wɔn ho dwaneeɛ, na mesɛe wɔn a wɔtan me.
And thou hast youe myn enemyes abac to me; and thou hast distried `men hatynge me.
41 Wɔsu pɛɛ mmoa, nanso obiara ammɛgye wɔn, wɔfrɛɛ Awurade, nanso wammua.
Thei crieden, and noon was that maad hem saaf; `thei crieden to the Lord, and he herde not hem.
42 Meyamoo wɔn sɛ mfuturo a mframa bɔ guo; me hwiee wɔn guiɛ sɛ mmɔntene so atɛkyɛ.
And Y schal al to-breke hem, as dust bifor the face of wynd; Y schal do hem awei, as the cley of stretis.
43 Woagye me afiri nnipa no ntohyɛsoɔ mu, woayɛ me amanaman no ti; nnipa a mennim wɔn abɛyɛ mʼasomfoɔ.
Thou schalt delyuere me fro ayenseiyngis of the puple; thou schalt sette me in to the heed of folkis.
44 Wɔte me nka pɛ a, wɔyɛ ɔsetie ma me; ananafoɔ koto mʼanim.
The puple, which Y knewe not, seruede me; in the herynge of eere it obeiede to me.
45 Wɔn nyinaa botoboto; wɔfiri wɔn abandenden mu ba ahopopoɔ so.
Alien sones lieden to me, alien sones wexiden elde; and crokiden fro thi pathis.
46 Awurade te ase! Ayɛyi nka me Botan! Wɔmma Onyankopɔn me Gyefoɔ no din so!
The Lord lyueth, and my God be blessid; and the God of myn helthe be enhaunsid.
47 Ɔno ne Onyankopɔn a ɔtɔ awere ma me, ɔno na ɔka amanaman hyɛ mʼase,
God, that yauest veniaunces to me, and makist suget puplis vndur me; my delyuerere fro my wrathful enemyes.
48 ɔno na ɔgye me firi mʼatamfoɔ nsam. Wopagyaa me sii mʼatamfoɔ so, wogyee me firii basabasayɛfoɔ nsam.
And thou schalt enhaunse me fro hem, that risen ayens me; thou schalt delyuere me fro a wickid man.
49 Ɛno enti, mɛkamfo wo wɔ amanaman mu, Ao Awurade. Mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama wo din.
Therfor, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among naciouns; and Y schal seie salm to thi name.
50 Wode nkonimdie akɛseɛ ama wo ɔhene; woda ɔdɔ a ɛnsa da adi kyerɛ deɛ woasra no ngo, wode kyerɛ Dawid, ne nʼasefoɔ afebɔɔ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
Magnyfiynge the helthis of his kyng; and doynge merci to his crist Dauid, and to his seed til in to the world.
