Psalms 32
1 By David. A contemplative psalm. Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn amumɔyɛ akyɛ wɔn, na wɔakata wɔn bɔne so.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Nhyira nka onipa a Awurade mmu ne bɔne ngu no so na nnaadaa nni ne honhom mu.
3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
Bere a meyɛɛ komm no, me nnompe yɛɛ mmrɛw, apini a misii no da mu nyinaa nti.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. (Selah)
Awia ne anadwo wo nsa yɛɛ den wɔ me so; mʼahoɔden sae te sɛ awia bere mu ɔhyew.
5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
Afei, migyee me bɔne too mu. Mankata mʼamumɔyɛ so. Mekae se, “Mɛka me bɔne akyerɛ Awurade,” na wode me bɔne ho afɔdi kyɛɛ me.
6 For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
Enti, ma agyidifo nyinaa mmɔ wo mpae bere a wohu wo; ampa ara sɛ asu akɛse yiri a, ɛrenka no.
7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Wone me hintabea; wobɛbɔ me ho ban wɔ amanehunu mu na wode nkwagye nnwom atwa me ho ahyia.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
Mɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo ɔkwan a wobɛfa so metu wo fo na mahwɛ wo so.
9 Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
Ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔpɔnkɔ anaa afurumpɔnkɔ a onni ntease nti wɔde nnareka ne hama na ɛdannan no, sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛba wo nkyɛn.
10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD.
Omumɔyɛfo amanehunu dɔɔso, nanso Awurade adɔe a ɛnsa da no twa onipa a ɔde ne ho to no so no ho hyia.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
Munni ahurusi na mo ani nnye wɔ Awurade mu, mo atreneefo; monto dwom, mo a mo koma mu tew.
