Nnwom 77
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde ma Yedutun. Asaf dwom. Mesu mefrɛɛ Onyankopɔn srɛɛ mmoa; mesu mefrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntie me.
I cried to God with my voice, even to God with my voice; and he gave ear to 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 sore ran in the night, and ceased 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 was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)
4 Woamma mʼani ankum; amanehunu dodoɔ enti, mantumi ankasa.
You hold my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 Medwenee nna a atwam no ho, teteete mfeɛ no ho;
I have considered 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 call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7 “Enti, Awurade bɛpo yɛn daa? Ɔrenhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ bio anaa?
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favorable no more?
8 Nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da atu ayera koraa anaa? Na ne bɔhyɛ no, amma mu koraa anaa?
Is his mercy clean gone for ever? does his promise fail for ever more?
9 Onyankopɔn werɛ afiri sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ anaa? Abufuo enti ne yam nhyehye no bio anaa?”
Has God forgotten to be gracious? has 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.”
And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11 Mɛkae nneɛma a Awurade ayɛ; aane, mɛkae wʼanwanwadeɛ a woyɛɛ tete no.
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember your wonders of old.
12 Mɛdwene wo nnwuma nyinaa ho na masusu wo nneyɛɛ akɛseɛ nyinaa ho.
I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings.
13 Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼakwan yɛ kronn. Onyame bɛn na ɔso sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn?
Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
14 Wone Onyankopɔn a woyɛ anwanwadeɛ; wokyerɛ wo tumi wɔ aman mu.
You are the God that do wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.
15 Wode wo tumi nsa no gyee wo nkurɔfoɔ, Yakob ne Yosef asefoɔ no.
You have with your arm redeemed your 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 you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
17 Omununkum tɔɔ nsuo, aprannaa gyegyee wɔ soro; na wo bɛmma twaa ogya dii akɔneaba.
The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: your arrows also went abroad.
18 Wʼaprannaa boboom wɔ twahoframa no mu, wʼanyinam hyerɛn ewiase; asase popoeɛ na ɛwosoeɛ.
The voice of your thunder was in the heaven: the lightning lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19 Wode wo kwan faa ɛpo mu, wode faa nsuo kɛseɛ mu, nanso wɔanhunu wʼanammɔn.
Your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.
20 Wonam Mose ne Aaron so dii wo nkurɔfoɔ anim sɛ nnwankuo.
You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
