Nnwom 37
1 Dawid dwom. Nha wo ho nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nti; mma wʼani mmere wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne;
Ungazikhathazi ngababi, ungabi lomhawu ngabenzi bobubi.
2 Wɔte sɛ ɛserɛ, ɛnkyɛre na ahye, wɔte sɛ dua mono, ɛnkyɛre na awu.
Ngoba bazaqunywa masinyane njengotshani, babune njengohlaza.
3 Fa wo ho to Awurade so na yɛ papa. Tena asase no so na ma wʼani nka asomdwoeɛ adidibea hɔ.
Themba eNkosini, wenze okuhle, uhlale elizweni, uzondle ngothembeko.
4 Ma wʼani nka Awurade ho na woama wo deɛ wʼakoma pɛ.
Zithokozise eNkosini, njalo izakunika iziloyiso zenhliziyo yakho.
5 Fa wʼakwan hyɛ Awurade nsam; na fa wo ho to ne so, na ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ:
Nikela indlela yakho eNkosini, uthembe kuyo; yona izakwenza.
6 ɔbɛma wo teneneeyɛ ahyerɛn sɛ adekyeeɛ, na wʼatɛntenenee ayɛ sɛ owigyinaeɛ.
Izaveza ukulunga kwakho njengokukhanya, lelungelo lakho njengemini enkulu.
7 Yɛ komm wɔ Awurade anim na to wo bo ase twɛn no, nha wo ho wɔ wɔn a asi wɔn yie ho ɛfiri sɛ wɔnam bɔne akwan so.
Thula eNkosini, uyilindele; ungazikhathazi ngophumelelayo ngendlela yakhe, ngomuntu owenza amacebo amabi.
8 Mma wo bo mfu, na gyae abufuhyeɛ; nha wo ho, ɛkɔwie bɔne nko ara.
Yekela intukuthelo, utshiye ulaka; ungazikhathazi langokwenza okubi.
9 Wɔbɛtwa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ agu, nanso wɔn a wɔn ani da Awurade soɔ no, wɔbɛnya asase no adi so.
Ngoba ababi bazaqunywa, kodwa labo abalindele iNkosi bona bazakudla ilifa lelizwe.
10 Ɛrenkyɛre, nnebɔneyɛfoɔ bɛyera. Wɔbɛhwehwɛ wɔn, nanso wɔrenhunu wɔn.
Kuseyisikhatshana nje, omubi angabe esaba khona; loba uhlola indawo yakhe uyabe engasekho.
11 Nanso ahobrɛasefoɔ bɛnya asase no adi so na wɔanya asomdwoeɛ mmorosoɔ.
Kodwa abamnene bazakudla ilifa lelizwe, bazithokozise ngobunengi bokuthula.
12 Amumuyɛfoɔ bɔ pɔ bɔne tia ateneneefoɔ na wɔtwɛre wɔn se gu wɔn so;
Omubi uyaceba emelene lolungileyo, amgedlele amazinyo akhe.
13 nanso, Awurade sere amumuyɛfoɔ, na ɔnim sɛ wɔn nna abɛn.
INkosi izamhleka, ngoba iyabona ukuthi usuku lwakhe luyeza.
14 Amumuyɛfoɔ twe akofena na wɔkuntunu wɔn tadua mu sɛ wɔbɛkum ahiafoɔ ne mmɔborɔfoɔ, sɛ wɔbɛkum wɔn a wɔn akwan tene.
Ababi sebehwatshe inkemba, bagobise idandili labo, ukumlahla phansi umyanga loswelayo, ukubulala abaqotho ngendlela.
15 Nanso, wɔn akofena bɛwowɔ wɔn ankasa akoma mu, na wɔn tadua mu abubu.
Inkemba yabo izangena kweyabo inhliziyo, kwephulwe amadandili abo.
16 Kakra a ateneneefoɔ wɔ no som bo sene amumuyɛfoɔ bebree ahonya;
Okuncinyane alakho olungileyo kungcono kulenotho yababi abanengi.
17 ɛfiri sɛ, amumuyɛfoɔ ahoɔden bɛsa nanso Awurade bɛwowa ateneneefoɔ.
Ngoba ingalo zababi zizakwephulwa, kodwa iNkosi iyabasekela abalungileyo.
18 Awurade nim wɔn a wɔn ho nni asɛm no nna, na wɔn agyapadeɛ bɛtena hɔ daa.
INkosi iyazazi izinsuku zabaqotho, lelifa labo lizakuba sephakadeni.
19 Ahohiahia berɛ mu wɔremmrɛ. Ɛkɔm berɛ mu wɔbɛnya ma abu so.
Kabayikuyangeka ngesikhathi esibi, langensuku zendlala bazasutha.
20 Nanso, amumuyɛfoɔ bɛyera. Awurade atamfoɔ bɛyɛ te sɛ wiram nhwiren; wɔbɛtu ayera sɛ wisie.
Kodwa ababi bazabhubha; lezitha zeNkosi zizanyamalala njengamafutha amawundlu, zinyamalale entuthwini.
21 Amumuyɛfoɔ pɛ bosea, na wɔntua, nanso ɔteneneeni de ahummɔborɔ ma;
Omubi uyeboleka, angabuyiseli, kodwa olungileyo uyahawukela, aphe.
22 Wɔn a Awurade ahyira wɔn no bɛnya asase no adi so, na wɔn a ɔdome wɔn no wɔbɛtwa wɔn agu.
Ngoba ababusiswe yiyo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe, kodwa abaqalekiswe yiyo bazaqunywa.
23 Sɛ Awurade ani sɔ onipa akwan a, ɔma nʼanammɔntuo si pi.
Izinyathelo zomuntu olungileyo ziqondiswa yiNkosi, iyathokoza endleleni yakhe.
24 Sɛ ɔsunti a ɔrenhwe ase, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade kura no wɔ ne nsam.
Loba esiwa, kayikulahlwa phansi, ngoba iNkosi isekela isandla sakhe.
25 Na meyɛ aberanteɛ, na seesei mabɔ akɔkoraa, na menhunuu ɔteneneeni a Awurade apa nʼakyi anaasɛ ne mma resrɛ aduane.
Ngangimutsha, sengimdala, kanti kangibonanga olungileyo etshiyiwe, lenzalo yakhe idinga ukudla.
26 Ɛberɛ biara ɔyɛ adɔeɛ, na ɔde fɛm kwa; na ne mma bɛnya nhyira.
Usuku lonke ulomusa, uyeboleka, lenzalo yakhe iyisibusiso.
27 Twe wo ho firi bɔne ho na yɛ papa na wobɛtena asase no so afebɔɔ.
Suka ebubini, wenze okuhle; uhlale kuze kube nininini.
28 Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade pɛ deɛ ɛtene, na ɔrennya ne nkurɔfoɔ nokwafoɔ no. Wɔbɛnya banbɔ daa nyinaa Nanso, amumuyɛfoɔ asefoɔ deɛ, wɔbɛtwa wɔn agu.
Ngoba iNkosi ithanda isahlulelo, kayiyikubatshiya abangcwele bayo. Bazalondolozwa kuze kube nininini; kodwa inzalo yababi izaqunywa.
29 Ateneneefoɔ bɛnya asase no adi so na wɔatena so afebɔɔ.
Abalungileyo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe, bahlale kulo kuze kube nininini.
30 Ɔteneneeni ano ka nyansasɛm, na ne tɛkrɛma ka deɛ ɛtene.
Umlomo wolungileyo ukhuluma inhlakanipho, lolimi lwakhe lukhuluma isahlulelo.
31 Ne Onyankopɔn mmara wɔ nʼakoma mu; ne nan nnwatiri.
Umlayo kaNkulunkulu wakhe usenhliziyweni yakhe; izinyathelo zakhe kazitsheleli.
32 Amumuyɛfoɔ tetɛ ateneneefoɔ hwehwɛ sɛ wɔbɛkum wɔn,
Omubi uyamqaphela olungileyo, udinga ukumbulala.
33 nanso, Awurade nnyaa wɔn mma wɔn na ɔremma wɔmmu wɔn kumfɔ wɔ asɛnniiɛ.
INkosi kayiyikumyekela esandleni sakhe, kayiyikumlahla lapho esahlulelwa.
34 Montwɛn Awurade na monhwɛ nʼakwan. Ɔbɛma mo so na moanya asase no adi so; sɛ wɔtwitwa amumuyɛfoɔ no gu a, mobɛhunu.
Lindela eNkosini, ugcine indlela yayo, izakuphakamisa ukuthi udle ilifa lelizwe; uzabona lapho ababi bequnywa.
35 Mahunu omumuyɛfoɔ a ɔyɛ basabasa sɛ ɔredi yie sɛ dua mono a ɛsi asase pa soɔ,
Ngambona omubi elamandla amakhulu, eziqhelisa njengesihlahla semvelo esiluhlaza.
36 nanso ankyɛre na ɛwuiɛ a wɔnhunu no bio; mehwehwɛɛ no, nanso manhunu no.
Kube kanti wedlula, khangela-ke, wayengasekho; yebo ngamdinga, kodwa katholakalanga.
37 Susu deɛ ɔyɛ pɛ ho, na hwɛ deɛ ɔtene; na asomdwoeɛ onipa bɛnya asetena pa daakye.
Nanzelela opheleleyo, umbone oqotho, ngoba ukuphela kwalowomuntu kuyikuthula.
38 Nanso wɔbɛsɛe nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nyinaa; na wɔbɛtɔre wɔn asefoɔ ase.
Kodwa abaphambukayo bazabhujiswa kanyekanye; ukuphela kwababi kuzaqunywa.
39 Ateneneefoɔ nkwagyeɛ firi Awurade ɔne wɔn aban wɔ amanehunu berɛ mu.
Kodwa usindiso lwabalungileyo luvela eNkosini, inqaba yabo esikhathini sokuhlupheka.
40 Awurade boa wɔn na ɔgye wɔn; ɔyi wɔn firi amumuyɛfoɔ nsam na ɔgye wɔn nkwa, ɛfiri sɛ wɔhinta wɔ ne mu.
Njalo iNkosi izabasiza ibakhulule; izabakhulula kwababi, ibasindise, ngoba baphephela kuyo.
