Nnwom 40
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid dwom. Mede boasetɔ twɛnee Awurade; na ɔhwɛɛ me, na ɔtee me sufrɛ.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida. Ihubo. Ngamlindela ngesineke uThixo; waphendukela ngakimi wezwa ukukhala kwami.
2 Ɔyii me firii amena a emu yɛ toro mu, firii dɔteɛ ne atɛkyɛ mu; ɔde me nan sii ɔbotan so na ɔmaa me baabi pa gyinaeɛ.
Wangenyula emgodini otshonayo, wangikhupha edakeni lexhaphozini; wamisa inyawo zami edwaleni, wangipha indawo eqinileyo yokuma.
3 Ɔde dwom foforɔ hyɛɛ mʼanom, ayɛyi dwom a yɛde ma yɛn Onyankopɔn. Bebree bɛhunu na wɔasuro na wɔde wɔn werɛ ahyɛ Awurade mu.
Wangipha ingoma entsha emlonyeni wami, ihubo lokudumisa kuNkulunkulu wethu. Abanengi bazabona besabe babeke ithemba labo kuThixo.
4 Nhyira ne onipa a ɔde Awurade yɛ nʼahotɔsoɔ, deɛ ɔmfa nʼani nto ahomasoɔ so, ne wɔn a wɔmane di anyame huhuo akyi.
Ubusisiwe umuntu owenza uThixo abe lithemba lakhe, ongathembi abazigqajayo, lalabo abaqambukela kubonkulunkulu bamanga.
5 Ao Awurade me Onyankopɔn woayɛ anwanwadeɛ bebree. Nneɛma a wohyehyɛ maa yɛn no obiara ntumi nka ne nyinaa nkyerɛ wo; sɛ meka sɛ mereka ne nyinaa ho asɛm a ɛbɛdɔɔso dodo.
Zinengi, Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, izimangaliso ozenzileyo. Izinto owasilungiselela zona kakho ongazibala kuwe; aluba bengingakhuluma loba ngilandise ngazo, zingaba zinengi ngokweqileyo ukuzibalisa.
6 Wompɛ afɔrebɔ ne ayɛyɛdeɛ, woabue mʼaso ama mahunu; woampɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne bɔne afɔdeɛ.
Kawufisanga imihlatshelo leminikelo kodwa indlebe zami uzikleklile; iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yesono kawuzange uyidinge.
7 Na mekaa sɛ “Mewɔ ha, merebɛyɛ deɛ wopɛ sɛ meyɛ, sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ afa me ho wɔ Mmara nwoma no mu no.
Lapho-ke ngasengisithi, “Ngilapha, sengifikile kulotshiwe ngami emqulwini.
8 Ao me Onyankopɔn, mepɛ sɛ meyɛ wʼapɛdeɛ; mede wo mmara ahyɛ mʼakoma mu.”
Ngiyakunxwanela ukwenza intando yakho, Oh Nkulunkulu wami; umthetho wakho usenhliziyweni yami.”
9 Meka wo tenenee ho asɛm wɔ dwabɔ kɛseɛ ase; meremmua mʼano, Ao Awurade, sɛdeɛ wonim no.
Ngiyafakaza ngokulunga ngisemhlanganweni omkhulu; angizivali izindebe zami, njengoba usazi, Oh Thixo.
10 Meremfa wo tenenee ho asɛm nsie mʼakoma mu; meka wo nokorɛ ne wo nkwagyeɛ ho asɛm. Mankata wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛ so wɔ dwabɔ kɛseɛ no ase.
Ukulunga kwakho kangikufihli enhliziyweni yami; ngikhuluma ngokuthembeka kwakho lokusindisa kwakho. Kangilufihli uthando lwakho leqiniso lakho emhlanganweni omkhulu.
11 Ao Awurade, nyi wʼahummɔborɔ mfiri me so; ma wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛ mmɔ me ho ban daa.
Ungasigodli isihawu sakho kimi, Oh Thixo; sengathi uthando lwakho leqiniso lakho kungahlala kungivikela.
12 Ɔhaw bebree atwa me ho ahyia; mʼamumuyɛ abu afa me so enti menhunu adeɛ bio. Ɛdɔɔso sene me tiri so nwi, na mʼakoma aboto wɔ me mu.
Phela inhlupheko ezingelakubalwa zingihanqile; izono zami sezingificile, kangisaboni. Zinengi kulenwele zekhanda lami, njalo inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla.
13 Ao Awurade, ma ɛnsɔ wʼani sɛ wobɛboa me; Ao Awurade, bra ntɛm bɛboa me.
Jabula, awu Thixo, ungisindise; awu Thixo, woza masinyane uzongisiza.
14 Wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔkum me no nyinaa, ma wɔn anim ngu ase na wɔnyɛ basaa; ma wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ mesɛeɛ no, wɔmfa aniwuo nsane wɔn akyi.
Sengathi bonke abafuna ukuqeda impilo yami bangayangiswa basanganiswe; sengathi bonke abafisa ukungidiliza bangabuyiselwa emuva beyangekile.
15 Wɔn a wɔka “Ɔtwea! Ɔtwea!” kyerɛ me no, ma wɔn ho nnwiri wɔn wɔ wɔn ankasa animguaseɛ ho.
Sengathi bonke abathi kimi, “Ehe, Ehe!” banganengwa lihlazo labo.
16 Nanso ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wo nyinaa ani nnye na wɔnni ahurisie wɔ wo mu; ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo nkwagyeɛ no nka daa sɛ, “Momma Awurade so!”
Kodwa akuthi bonke abakudingayo bathokoze bajabule kuwe; akuthi labo abathanda insindiso yakho bahlale besithi, “UThixo kadunyiswe!”
17 Nanso meyɛ ohiani ne mmɔborɔni; ma Awurade nnwene me ho. Wone me ɔboafoɔ ne me gyefoɔ; Ao me Onyankopɔn, bra ntɛm.
Kodwa mina ngiyahlupheka, ngiyaswela; sengathi iNkosi ingangikhumbula. Ilusizo lwami lomkhululi wami; Oh Nkulunkulu wami, ungalibali.
