Nnwom 38
1 Dawid dwom. Adesrɛ. Ao Awurade, nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabofuo mu na ntwe mʼaso wɔ wʼabufuhyeɛ mu.
Nkosi, ungangikhuzi entukuthelweni yakho, ungangijezisi ekuvutheni kolaka lwakho.
2 Wo bɛmma ahwire me mu, na wo nsa adwerɛ me.
Ngoba imitshoko yakho ihlabe yatshona kimi, lesandla sakho sehle nzima phezu kwami.
3 Wʼabofuhyeɛ no enti, ahoɔden biara nni me mu; me bɔne enti, me nnompe ahodwo.
Kakukho ukuphila enyameni yami ngenxa yentukuthelo yakho; kakukho ukuthula emathanjeni ami ngenxa yesono sami.
4 Mʼafɔdie amene me te sɛ adesoa a emu yɛ duru dodo.
Ngoba iziphambeko zami zedlule phezu kwekhanda lami, njengomthwalo onzima zinzima kakhulu kimi.
5 Mʼakuro bɔn na aporɔ ɛsiane me bɔne mu agyimisɛm enti.
Izilonda zami zilevumba zilobomvu ngenxa yobuthutha bami.
6 Makoto na wɔabrɛ me ase; da mu nyinaa menantenante twa agyaadwoɔ.
Ngigungubele, ngagotshiselwa phansi kakhulu, usuku lonke ngihamba ngikwezimnyama.
7 Mʼakyi dompe mu yea boro so: ahoɔden biara nni me onipadua mu.
Ngoba ukhalo lwami lugcwele okutshileyo, njalo kakukho ukuphila enyameni yami.
8 Mabrɛ na mapɛkyɛ koraa. Mʼakoma mu yea ma me si apinie.
Ngibuthakathaka ngichobozekile kakhulukazi, ngiyabhonga ngenxa yokububula kwenhliziyo yami.
9 Ao Awurade, deɛ merehwɛ anim nyinaa da wʼanim; mʼapinisie nhintaa wo.
Nkosi, sonke isiloyiso sami siphambi kwakho, lokububula kwami kakufihlakalanga kuwe.
10 Mʼakoma bɔ paripari, na mʼahoɔden asa mpo mʼaniwa aduru sum.
Inhliziyo yami iyatshaya, amandla ami angitshiyile; lokukhanya kwamehlo ami lakho kakukho kimi.
11 Mʼapirakuro enti me nnamfonom ne mʼayɔnkofoɔ mmɛn me; mʼafipamfoɔ twe wɔn ho firi me ho.
Abangithandayo labangane bami bema ummango lenhlupheko yami, labakwethu bema khatshana lami.
12 Wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔkum me no sum me mfidie, wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔha me no di me sɛeɛ ho nkɔmmɔ. Ɛda mu nyinaa wɔdwene nnaadaasɛm ho.
Labo abadinga impilo yami bayangithiya, labo abadinga ukoniwa kwami bakhuluma izincithakalo, bezindla inkohliso usuku lonke.
13 Mete sɛ ɔsotifoɔ a ɔnte asɛm, mete sɛ mumu a ɔntumi nkasa.
Kodwa mina nginjengesacuthe, kangizwa, lanjengesimungulu, esingavuli umlomo waso.
14 Mayɛ sɛ obi a ɔnte asɛm, deɛ nʼano ntumi mma mmuaeɛ.
Yebo, nginjengomuntu ongezwayo, okungekho ukuphikisa emlonyeni wakhe.
15 Ao Awurade, meretwɛn wo; Ao Awurade me Onyankopɔn, wobɛgye me so.
Ngoba kuwe, Nkosi, ngiyathemba; wena uzaphendula, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami.
16 Mekaa sɛ, “Mma wɔn ani nnye; anaa mma wɔnhoahoa wɔn ho wɔ me nan a awatiri no enti.”
Ngoba ngathi: Hlezi bathokoze ngami, lapho unyawo lwami lutshelela, bazikhukhumeze bemelene lami.
17 Mereyɛ mahwe ase, na me yea da so wɔ me mu.
Ngoba sengiseduze lokuwa, lobuhlungu bami buphambi kwami njalonjalo.
18 Meka me mfomsoɔ kyerɛ; me bɔne hyɛ me so.
Ngoba ngizakwazisa ububi bami, ngizakhathazeka ngesono sami.
19 Bebree na wɔyɛ mʼatamfoɔ; wɔn a wɔtane me kwa no dɔɔso.
Kodwa izitha zami ziphilile zilamandla, labangizonda ngeze sebandile.
20 Wɔn a wɔde bɔne tua me papa so ka no bɔ me ahohora ɛberɛ a mereyɛ papa.
Abaphindisela okubi esikhundleni sokuhle bayizitha zami, ngoba nginxwanela okulungileyo.
21 Ao, Awurade nnya me. Ao me Onyankopɔn, nkɔ akyiri!
Ungangitshiyi, Nkosi; Nkulunkulu wami, ungabi khatshana lami.
22 Bra ntɛm bɛboa me, Awurade, mʼAgyenkwa.
Phangisa ungisize, Nkosi, nsindiso yami.
