Nnwom 77
1 Asaf dwom. Mesu mefrɛɛ Onyankopɔn srɛɛ mmoa; mesu mefrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntie me.
To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm. My voice is unto God, and I will cry; my voice is unto God, and he will give ear unto me.
2 Ɛberɛ a mewɔ ahohiahia mu no, mehwehwɛɛ Awurade; metrɛɛ me nsa a ɛmpa aba mu anadwo na me kra ampene sɛ wɔbɛkyekye ne werɛ.
In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.
3 Ao Onyankopɔn mekaee wo, na mesii apinie; medwendweneeɛ, na me honhom tɔɔ piti.
I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)
4 Woamma mʼani ankum; amanehunu dodoɔ enti, mantumi ankasa.
Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak.
5 Medwenee nna a atwam no ho, teteete mfeɛ no ho;
I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 mekaee me nnwom a na meto no anadwo. Mʼakoma dwenee ho na me honhom bisaa sɛ:
I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search.
7 “Enti, Awurade bɛpo yɛn daa? Ɔrenhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ bio anaa?
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8 Nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da atu ayera koraa anaa? Na ne bɔhyɛ no, amma mu koraa anaa?
Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath [his] word come to an end from generation to generation?
9 Onyankopɔn werɛ afiri sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ anaa? Abufuo enti ne yam nhyehye no bio anaa?”
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)
10 Afei, medwenee sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ɔsorosoroni, deɛ ɛhyɛ me kra so ne sɛ, wommfa wo tete nsa nifa no mmoa yɛn bio.”
Then said I, This is my weakness: — the years of the right hand of the Most High
11 Mɛkae nneɛma a Awurade ayɛ; aane, mɛkae wʼanwanwadeɛ a woyɛɛ tete no.
Will I remember, — the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old,
12 Mɛdwene wo nnwuma nyinaa ho na masusu wo nneyɛɛ akɛseɛ nyinaa ho.
And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings.
13 Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼakwan yɛ kronn. Onyame bɛn na ɔso sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn?
O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a god as God?
14 Wone Onyankopɔn a woyɛ anwanwadeɛ; wokyerɛ wo tumi wɔ aman mu.
Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.
15 Wode wo tumi nsa no gyee wo nkurɔfoɔ, Yakob ne Yosef asefoɔ no.
Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Ao Onyankopɔn, nsuo no hunuu wo, nsuo no hunuu wo na wɔpopoeɛ; ebunu no mpo ho wosoeɛ.
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled:
17 Omununkum tɔɔ nsuo, aprannaa gyegyee wɔ soro; na wo bɛmma twaa ogya dii akɔneaba.
The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad:
18 Wʼaprannaa boboom wɔ twahoframa no mu, wʼanyinam hyerɛn ewiase; asase popoeɛ na ɛwosoeɛ.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked.
19 Wode wo kwan faa ɛpo mu, wode faa nsuo kɛseɛ mu, nanso wɔanhunu wʼanammɔn.
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known.
20 Wonam Mose ne Aaron so dii wo nkurɔfoɔ anim sɛ nnwankuo.
Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
