Nnwom 32

1 Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn amumuyɛ akyɛ wɔn, na wɔakata wɔn bɔne so.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 Nhyira nka onipa a Awurade mmu ne bɔne ngu ne so, na nnaadaa nni ne honhom mu.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 Ɛberɛ a meyɛɛ komm no, me nnompe yɛɛ mmrɛ apinie a mesii no da mu nyinaa enti.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4 Awia ne anadwo wo nsa yɛɛ den wɔ me so; mʼahoɔden saeɛ sɛdeɛ awiaberɛ mu hyeɛ ma biribi yɛ mmerɛ.

For day and night your hand was heavy on me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)

5 Afei, megyee me bɔne too mu. Mankata mʼamumuyɛ so. Mekaa sɛ, “Mɛka me bɔne akyerɛ Awurade,” na wode me bɔne ho afɔdie kyɛɛ me.

I acknowledge my sin to you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 Enti, ma obiara a ɔwɔ nyamesu mmɔ wo mpaeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔhunu woɔ; ampa ara sɛ nsuo akɛseɛ yiri a, ɛrenka no.

For this shall every one that is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near to him.

7 Wone me hintabea; wobɛbɔ me ho ban wɔ amanehunu mu na wode nkwagyeɛ nnwom atwa me ho ahyia.

You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 Mɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo ɛkwan a wobɛfa soɔ mɛtu wo fo na mahwɛ wo so.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye.

9 Nyɛ sɛ ɔpɔnkɔ anaa afunumpɔnkɔ a ɔnni nteaseɛ enti wɔde nnareka ne ahoma na ɛdanedane no sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛba wo nkyɛn.

Be you not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to you.

10 Ɔmumuyɛfoɔ amanehunu dɔɔso, nanso Awurade adɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no, ɛtwa onipa a ɔde ne ho to no so no ho hyia.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11 Monni ahurisie na mo ani nnye wɔ Awurade mu, mo teneneefoɔ; monto dwom, mo a mo akoma mu teɛ.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.
