Nnwom 32
1 Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn amumuyɛ akyɛ wɔn, na wɔakata wɔn bɔne so.
By David. A contemplative psalm. Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Nhyira nka onipa a Awurade mmu ne bɔne ngu ne so, na nnaadaa nni ne honhom mu.
Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Ɛberɛ a meyɛɛ komm no, me nnompe yɛɛ mmrɛ apinie a mesii no da mu nyinaa enti.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4 Awia ne anadwo wo nsa yɛɛ den wɔ me so; mʼahoɔden saeɛ sɛdeɛ awiaberɛ mu hyeɛ ma biribi yɛ mmerɛ.
For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. (Selah)
5 Afei, megyee me bɔne too mu. Mankata mʼamumuyɛ so. Mekaa sɛ, “Mɛka me bɔne akyerɛ Awurade,” na wode me bɔne ho afɔdie kyɛɛ me.
I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 Enti, ma obiara a ɔwɔ nyamesu mmɔ wo mpaeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔhunu woɔ; ampa ara sɛ nsuo akɛseɛ yiri a, ɛrenka no.
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.
7 Wone me hintabea; wobɛbɔ me ho ban wɔ amanehunu mu na wode nkwagyeɛ nnwom atwa me ho ahyia.
You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 Mɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo ɛkwan a wobɛfa soɔ mɛtu wo fo na mahwɛ wo so.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9 Nyɛ sɛ ɔpɔnkɔ anaa afunumpɔnkɔ a ɔnni nteaseɛ enti wɔde nnareka ne ahoma na ɛdanedane no sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛba wo nkyɛn.
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.
10 Ɔmumuyɛfoɔ amanehunu dɔɔso, nanso Awurade adɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no, ɛtwa onipa a ɔde ne ho to no so no ho hyia.
Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh.
11 Monni ahurisie na mo ani nnye wɔ Awurade mu, mo teneneefoɔ; monto dwom, mo a mo akoma mu teɛ.
Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
