Nnwom 140
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade gye me firi nnipa bɔne nsam; bɔ me ho ban firi basabasayɛfoɔ nsam,
To victorie, the salm of Dauith. Lord, delyuere thou me fro an yuel man; delyuere thou me fro a wickid man.
2 wɔn a wɔdwene bɔne wɔ wɔn akoma mu na wɔhwanyane ɔko mu da biara.
Whiche thouyten wickidnesses in the herte; al dai thei ordeyneden batels.
3 Wɔse wɔn tɛkrɛma ano te sɛ ɔtweaseɛ deɛ; ananka borɔ wɔ wɔn ano.
Thei scharpiden her tungis as serpentis; the venym of snakis vndir the lippis of hem.
4 Ao Awurade, yi me firi amumuyɛfoɔ nsam; bɔ me ho ban firi basabasayɛfoɔ a wɔdwene sɛ wɔbɛtwintwan mʼanan mu.
Lord, kepe thou me fro the hond of the synnere; and delyuere thou me fro wickid men. Which thouyten to disseyue my goyngis;
5 Ahantanfoɔ asum me afidie; wɔatrɛtrɛ wɔn asau nhoma mu, wɔasunsum me mfidie wɔ me kwan so.
proude men hidden a snare to me. And thei leiden forth cordis in to a snare; thei settiden sclaundir to me bisidis the weie.
6 Ao Awurade, meka kyerɛ wo sɛ, “Wone me Onyankopɔn.” Ao Awurade, tie me mmɔborɔ su.
I seide to the Lord, Thou art mi God; Lord, here thou the vois of my biseching.
7 Ao Otumfoɔ Awurade, me gyefoɔ ɔhoɔdenfoɔ a wobɔ me tiri ban ɔko da,
Lord, Lord, the vertu of myn heelthe; thou madist schadowe on myn heed in the dai of batel.
8 nyɛ amumuyɛfoɔ abisadeɛ mma wɔn, Ao Awurade; mma wɔn nhyehyɛeɛ nyɛ yie.
Lord, bitake thou not me fro my desire to the synnere; thei thouyten ayens me, forsake thou not me, lest perauenture thei ben enhaunsid.
9 Wɔatwa me ho ahyia, nanso, ma amumuyɛsɛm a ɛfiri wɔn anomu nsɛe wɔn.
The heed of the cumpas of hem; the trauel of her lippis schal hile hem.
10 Ma nnyasrama ngu wɔn so; ma wɔnto wɔn ngu ogya mu, ngu atɛkyɛ amena mu a wɔrensɔre bio.
Colis schulen falle on hem, thou schalt caste hem doun in to fier; in wretchidnessis thei schulen not stonde.
11 Mma dinsɛefoɔ ntim asase no so; ma amanehunu ntaataa basabasayɛfoɔ.
A man a greet ianglere schal not be dressid in erthe; yuels schulen take an vniust man in perisching.
12 Menim sɛ Awurade bu ahiafoɔ atɛntenenee na ɔka onnibie asɛm ma no.
I haue knowe, that the Lord schal make dom of a nedi man; and the veniaunce of pore men.
13 Ampa ara, teneneefoɔ bɛkamfo wo din na wɔn a wɔnam tee no bɛtena nkwa mu wɔ wʼanim.
Netheles iust men schulen knouleche to thi name; and riytful men schulen dwelle with thi cheer.
