Nnwom 78
1 Asaf dwom. Ao me nkurɔfoɔ, montie me nkyerɛkyerɛ; monyɛ aso mma mʼanomu nsɛm.
Lalelani, bantu bami, umthetho wami, libeke indlebe yenu emazwini omlomo wami.
2 Mɛkasa wɔ abɛbuo mu, mɛka ahintasɛm, teteete nneɛma no,
Ngizavula umlomo wami ngomfanekiso, ngikhuphe izimfihlakalo zendulo,
3 nneɛma a yɛate na yɛahunu; nneɛma a yɛn agyanom aka ho asɛm akyerɛ yɛn.
esizizwileyo lesizaziyo, obaba abasitshela zona.
4 Yɛremfa nkame wɔn mma; yɛbɛka akyerɛ nkyirimma; Awurade nneyɛɛ a ɛfata nkamfo no, ne tumi ne anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ no.
Kasiyikuzifihlela abantwana babo, kusizukulwana esilandelayo, silandisa izindumiso zeNkosi, lamandla ayo, lezimangaliso ezenzileyo.
5 Ɔyɛɛ ahyɛdeɛ maa Yakob na ɔyɛɛ mmara wɔ Israel, deɛ ɔhyɛɛ yɛn nananom sɛ wɔnkyerɛ wɔn mma,
Ngoba wamisa ubufakazi koJakobe, wabeka umlayo koIsrayeli, awulaya obaba, ukuze bawazise abantwana babo,
6 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nkyirimma bɛsua mpo mmɔfra a wɔnnya nwoo wɔn, na wɔn nso akyerɛkyerɛ wɔn mma.
ukuze isizukulwana esilandelayo sazi, abantwana abazazalwa, basukume batshele abantwana babo,
7 Afei wɔde wɔn ho bɛto Onyankopɔn so, na wɔn werɛ remfiri ne nneyɛɛ, na wɔbɛdi nʼahyɛdeɛ so.
ukuze babeke ithemba labo kuNkulunkulu, bangayikhohlwa imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kodwa bagcine imithetho yakhe;
8 Wɔrenyɛ sɛ wɔn nananom, a na wɔyɛ asoɔdenfoɔ ne atuatefoɔ, wɔn a wɔn akoma mu wɔnni Onyankopɔn nokorɛ na woyɛ honhom mu atorofoɔ ma noɔ no.
njalo bangabi njengaboyise, isizukulwana esilenkani lesivukelayo, isizukulwana esingaqondisanga inhliziyo yaso, lesimoya waso ungathembekanga kuNkulunkulu.
9 Ɛwom sɛ na Efraim mmarima kurakura agyan, nanso ɔko da no, wɔdwaneeɛ;
Abantwana bakoEfrayimi, behlomile betshoka ngamadandili, babuyela emuva mhla wempi.
10 Wɔanni Onyankopɔn apam no so wɔampɛ sɛ wɔdi ne mmara no so.
Kabasilondolozanga isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, bala ukuhamba emlayweni wakhe.
11 Wɔn werɛ firii deɛ wayɛ, anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ akyerɛ wɔn no.
Bakhohlwa izenzo zakhe lezimangaliso zakhe ayebatshengisa zona.
12 Ɔyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ wɔ wɔn nananom anim wɔ Soan mantam a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so.
Phambi kwaboyise wenza isimangaliso elizweni leGibhithe, egangeni leZowani.
13 Ɔkyɛɛ ɛpo mu na ɔde wɔn faa mu. Ɔmaa nsuo no gyinaa sɛ afasuo.
Waqhekeza ulwandle, wabachaphisa, wenza amanzi ema njengenqumbi.
14 Ɔde omununkum dii wɔn anim awia na ɔde ogyadum dii wɔn anim anadwo nyinaa.
Wabakhokhela ngeyezi emini, lebusuku bonke ngokukhanya komlilo.
15 Ɔpaee ɔbotan mu wɔ ɛserɛ so, na ɔmaa wɔn nsuo a ɛdɔɔso sɛ ɛpo;
Waqhekeza amadwala enkangala, wabanathisa kungathi kuvela ezinzikini ezinkulu.
16 Ɔmaa asutire firii abotan mu na ɔmaa nsuo tenee sɛ nsubɔntene.
Waseveza izifula edwaleni, wenza amanzi ehla njengemifula.
17 Nanso, wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ bɔne tiaa no, wɔsɔre tiaa Ɔsorosoroni no wɔ ɛserɛ no so.
Kodwa baphinda futhi ukona kuye, ngokumvukela oPhezukonke enkangala.
18 Wɔboapa sɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛeɛ; wɔbisaa aduane a wɔpɛ.
Bamlinga uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yabo ngokucela ukudla kwenkanuko yabo.
19 Wɔkasa tiaa Onyankopɔn sɛ, “Onyankopɔn bɛtumi ato ɛpono wɔ ɛserɛ so anaa?
Basebekhuluma bemelene loNkulunkulu bathi: UNkulunkulu angalungisa itafula enkangala yini?
20 Ɔde adeɛ bɔɔ ɔbotan mu no, nsuo to firi mu baeɛ, na nsuwa bebree tenee hɔ. Na ɔbɛtumi ama yɛn aduane nso? Ɔbɛtumi ama ne nkurɔfoɔ ɛnam anaa?”
Khangela, watshaya idwala, kwampompoza amanzi, lezifula zagabha; anganika lesinkwa yini? angalungisela abantu bakhe inyama na?
21 Ɛberɛ a Awurade tee deɛ wɔreka no, ne bo fuu yie; ne ogya bɛguu Yakob so, na nʼabufuhyeɛ sɔre tiaa Israel,
Ngakho iNkosi yezwa yathukuthela; umlilo wasubaselwa uJakobe, njalo lolaka lwavukela uIsrayeli,
22 ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔnni Onyankopɔn mu gyidie anaasɛ ne nkwagyeɛ mu ahotosoɔ.
ngoba kabakholwanga kuNkulunkulu, kabathembanga esindisweni lwakhe.
23 Nanso, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ ɔsoro ɔhyɛ so; na ɔbuee ɔsorosoro apono.
Lanxa walaya amayezi ngaphezulu, wavula iminyango yamazulu,
24 Ɔtɔɔ mana firi soro maa nnipa no sɛ wonni, ɔmaa wɔn ɔsoro aduane.
wabanisela imana ukuthi badle, wabapha amabele amazulu.
25 Nnipa dii abɔfoɔ aduane; ɔmaa wɔn aduane a wɔbɛtumi adi nyinaa.
Umuntu wadla isinkwa sabalamandla; wabathumela ukudla ukuze basuthe.
26 Ɔmaa apueeɛ mframa bɔ firii sorosoro, na ɔde ne tumi bɔɔ atɔeɛ mframa.
Wenza umoya wempumalanga wavunguza emazulwini; langamandla akhe waqhuba umoya weningizimu.
27 Ɔtoo ɛnam sɛ mfuturo guu wɔn so, nnomaa a wɔtu bebree sɛ mpoano anwea.
Wasenisela phezu kwabo inyama njengothuli, lenyoni ezilempiko njengetshebetshebe lolwandle;
28 Ɔma wɔbaa fam kɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ, ne wɔn ntomadan ho nyinaa.
wazenza zawela phakathi kwenkamba yabo, zagombolozela indawo zabo zokuhlala.
29 Wɔdidi maa aduane no boroo wɔn so ɛfiri sɛ ɔmaa wɔn deɛ wɔhwehwɛ.
Ngakho badla basutha kakhulu, ngoba wabalethela isiloyiso sabo.
30 Nanso ansa na wɔbɛfiri aduane a wɔhwehwɛeɛ no ho, ɛberɛ a ɛhyehyɛ wɔn anomu mpo no,
Kabehlukananga lenkanuko yabo; ukudla kusesemlonyeni wabo,
31 Onyankopɔn abufuo sɔree wɔn so; ɔkum ahoɔdenfoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn mu twitwaa Israel mmeranteɛ guiɛ.
ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwaselubavukela, wabulala kwabakhulupheleyo babo, watshaya abakhethiweyo bakoIsrayeli.
32 Yeinom nyinaa akyi, wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ bɔne; nʼanwanwadeɛ akyi no, wɔannye anni.
Kulokhu konke bajinga besona, njalo kabakholwanga ngenxa yezimangaliso zakhe.
33 Enti, ɔtwaa wɔn nna so te sɛ ahuro yɛɛ wɔn mfeɛ awieeɛ huhuuhu.
Ngakho waziqeda izinsuku zabo ngeze, leminyaka yabo ovalweni.
34 Ɛberɛ biara a Onyankopɔn bɛkum wɔn no, wɔhwehwɛɛ no, na wɔpere wɔn ho sane baa ne nkyɛn.
Lapho ebabulala, bamdinga, baphenduka, bamdingisisa uNkulunkulu.
35 Wɔkaee sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ wɔn botan, sɛ Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn no yɛ wɔn Gyefoɔ.
Bakhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulidwala labo, loNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ungumhlengi wabo.
36 Nanso, wɔde wɔn ano bɛdaadaa no, na wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma twaa atorɔ kyerɛɛ no;
Kodwa bamyenga ngomlomo wabo, baqamba amanga kuye ngolimi lwabo.
37 wɔn akoma anni no nokorɛ, na wɔanni nʼapam no so.
Ngoba inhliziyo yabo yayingaqondanga kuye, njalo bengathembekanga esivumelwaneni sakhe.
38 Nanso na ɔyɛ ahummɔborɔ; ɔde wɔn amumuyɛ kyɛɛ wɔn a wansɛe wɔn. Mpɛn bebree ɔtwentwɛnee nʼabufuo so na wanhwie nʼabufuhyeɛ nyinaa.
Kodwa yena elesihawu wathethelela ububi babo, kababhubhisanga; yebo, kanengi walunqanda ulaka lwakhe, kakuvusanga konke ukuthukuthela kwakhe.
39 Ɔkaee sɛ wɔyɛ ɔhonam ara kwa, mframa bi a ɛbɔ twam na ɛnsane nʼakyi.
Ngoba wakhumbula ukuthi bayinyama, umoya odlulayo, ongabuyiyo.
40 Mpɛn ahe na wɔansɔre antia no wɔ ɛserɛ no so hɔ, na mpɛn ahe na wɔamma ne werɛ anho wɔ asase wesee no so?
Kanengi kangakanani bemvukela ehlane, bemdabukisa enkangala.
41 Wɔsɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛeɛ ɛberɛ biara; na wɔyii Israel Ɔkronkronni no abufuo.
Yebo baphenduka bamlinga uNkulunkulu, bamdabukisa oNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
42 Wɔn werɛ firii ne tumi no, ɛda a ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn nhyɛsofoɔ nsam no,
Kabasikhumbulanga isandla sakhe, usuku abahlenga ngalo esitheni.
43 ɛda a ɔyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nwanwasoɔ wɔ Misraim no ne nʼanwanwadeɛ wɔ Soan mantam mu no.
Ukuthi wamisa njani izibonakaliso zakhe eGibhithe, lezimangaliso zakhe emmangweni weZowani,
44 Ɔmaa wɔn nsubɔntene danee mogya; wɔantumi annom wɔn asutene mu nsuo.
lokuthi waphendula imifula yabo yaba ligazi, lezifula zabo, ukuze banganathi.
45 Ɔmaa nwansenadɔm baa wɔn so bɛhaa wɔn na mponkyerɛne nso bɛsɛee wɔn asase.
Wathumela phakathi kwabo umtshitshi wezibawu, ezabadlayo, lamaxoxo ababhubhisayo.
46 Ɔmaa mmɛbɛ bɛdii wɔn mfuo so aduane na ɔde wɔn mfudeɛ nso maa ntutummɛ.
Wasenika imihogoyi isivuno sabo, lomsebenzi wabo isikhonyane.
47 Ɔde asukɔtweaa sɛee wɔn bobe na ɔde nsukyeneeɛ sɛee wɔn ankye nnua.
Wabulala ivini labo ngesiqhotho, lemikhiwa yabo yesikhamore ngongqwaqwane.
48 Ɔde sukyerɛmma kumm wɔn anantwie ɔde anyinam kumm wɔn nyɛmmoa.
Wasenikela izifuyo zabo esiqhothweni, lemihlambi yabo kuyo imibane.
49 Ɔhwiee nʼabufuhyeɛ guu wɔn so, abufuo, anibereɛ ne ahohia; abɔfoɔ asɛefoɔ kuo no.
Waphosela phezu kwabo ukuvutha kolaka lwakhe, ukuthukuthela, lokucunuka, lokuhlupheka, ngokuthuma izithunywa zobubi.
50 Ɔbɔɔ ɛkwan maa nʼabufuo; na wamfa wɔn nkwa ankyɛre wɔn mmom ɔde wɔn maa ɔyaredɔm.
Walungisela ulaka lwakhe indlela, kanqandanga umphefumulo wabo ekufeni, kodwa wanikela impilo yabo kumatshayabhuqe wesifo.
51 Ɔkunkumm Misraimfoɔ mmakan nyinaa, Ham ntomadan mu nnipa mu abakan.
Wasetshaya wonke amazibulo eGibhithe, okokuqala kwamandla emathenteni kaHamu.
52 Nanso ɔyii ne nkurɔfoɔ firii mu sɛ nnwankuo; ɔdii wɔn anim sɛ nnwan wɔ ɛserɛ no so.
Wasebakhupha abantu bakhe njengezimvu, wabakhokhela enkangala njengomhlambi.
53 Ɔdii wɔn anim dwoodwoo, enti wɔansuro; nanso wɔn atamfoɔ deɛ, ɛpo asorɔkye bu faa wɔn so.
Wasebakhokhela bephephile ukuze bangesabi; kodwa ulwandle lwasibekela izitha zabo.
54 Sei na ɔyɛ de wɔn baa nʼasase kronkron no ahyeɛ so, bepɔ asase a ɔde ne nsa nifa gyeeɛ no.
Wasebafikisa emkhawulweni wendawo yakhe engcwele, le intaba, isandla sakhe sokunene esayizuzayo.
55 Ɔpamoo amanaman a wɔwɔ wɔn anim no na ɔkyekyɛɛ wɔn nsase no mu maa wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ; ɔbɔɔ Israel mmusuakuo no atenaseɛ wɔ wɔn afie mu.
Wasebaxotsha abezizwe phambi kwabo; wababela ilifa ngomzila, wahlalisa izizwe zakoIsrayeli emathenteni azo.
56 Nanso wɔsɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛeɛ na wɔsɔre tiaa Ɔsorosoroni no; na wɔanni ne mmara so.
Kanti bamlinga, bamvukela uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, kabazigcinanga izifakazelo zakhe.
57 Wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔn agyanom, wɔanni nokorɛ na wɔannya gyidie, ahotosoɔ nni wɔn mu, na wɔte sɛ agyan a asɛe.
Kodwa babuyela emuva, benza ngokungathembeki njengaboyise, baphanjulwa njengedandili elikhohlisayo.
58 Wɔde wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea hyɛɛ no abufuo na wɔn ahoni maa ne ninkuntwe mu yɛɛ den.
Ngoba bamthukuthelisa ngezindawo zabo eziphakemeyo, bavusa umona wakhe ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo.
59 Onyankopɔn tee wɔn nka no, ne bo fuiɛ; na ɔpoo Israel korakora.
UNkulunkulu esizwa wathukuthela, wamenyanya kakhulu uIsrayeli.
60 Ɔgyaa nʼatenaeɛ a ɛwɔ Silo no hɔ ntomadan a wasi wɔ nnipa mu no.
Ngakho walitshiya ithabhanekele leShilo, ithente alimisa phakathi kwabantu.
61 Ɔde Apam Adaka a ɛyɛ ne tumi no kɔɔ nnommumfa mu, nʼanimuonyam kɔɔ atamfoɔ nsam.
Wasenikela amandla akhe ekuthunjweni, lenkazimulo yakhe esandleni sesitha.
62 Ɔde ne nkurɔfoɔ maa akofena; ne bo fuu nʼagyapadeɛ yie.
Wasenikela abantu bakhe enkembeni, waselithukuthelela ilifa lakhe.
63 Egya hyee wɔn mmeranteɛ kumm wɔn, na wɔn mmabaawa annya ayeforɔhyia dwom anto;
Umlilo waqeda amajaha abo, lezintombi zabo kazihlatshelelwanga.
64 Wɔn asɔfoɔ wuwuu akofena ano, na wɔn akunafoɔ antumi ansu.
Abapristi babo bawa ngenkemba, labafelokazi babo kabalilanga.
65 Afei Awurade sɔree sɛdeɛ ɔfiri nna mu no, sɛdeɛ ɔbarima a waboro nsã nyane firi nnahɔɔ mu no.
Khona iNkosi yavuka njengobelele, njengeqhawe eliklabalala ngenxa yewayini.
66 Ɔbobɔɔ nʼatamfoɔ ma wɔdwane kɔɔ wɔn akyi; ɔhyɛɛ wɔn aniwuo afebɔɔ.
Yazitshaya izitha zayo emuva, yazithela ihlazo phakade.
67 Afei ɔpoo Yosef ntomadan no, na wamfa Efraim abusuakuo no nso;
Yasilahla ithente likaJosefa, kayikhethanga isizwe sakoEfrayimi.
68 Na mmom, ɔfaa Yuda abusuakuo no, Bepɔ Sion a ɔdɔ noɔ no.
Kodwa yakhetha isizwe sakoJuda, intaba yeZiyoni eyithandayo.
69 Ɔsii ne kronkronbea te sɛ sorɔnsorɔmmea, te sɛ asase a ɛtim hɔ daa.
Yayakha indlu yayo engcwele njengezingqonga, njengomhlaba ewusekeleyo kuze kube nininini.
70 Ɔyii ne ɔsomfoɔ Dawid; ɔfrɛɛ no firii nnwammuo mu
Yasikhetha uDavida inceku yayo, yamthatha ezibayeni zezimvu;
71 firii nnwan akyiridie, na ɔde no baeɛ sɛ ɔmmɛyɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ mma ne nkurɔfoɔ Yakob, mma Israel a wɔyɛ nʼagyapadeɛ.
ekulandeleni izimvukazi ezenyisayo, yamletha ukwelusa uJakobe abantu bayo, loIsrayeli ilifa layo.
72 Na Dawid de akoma pa hwɛɛ wɔn so na ɔde ne nimdeɛ dii wɔn anim.
Njalo wabelusa njengobuqotho benhliziyo yakhe, wabakhokhela ngobugabazi bezandla zakhe.
