Psalms 112

1 Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

Monkamfo Awurade. Nhyira nka onipa a osuro Awurade na onya nʼahyɛde mu anigye pii.

2 Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

Ne mma bɛyɛ atumfo wɔ asase no so; atreneefo awo ntoatoaso benya nhyira.

3 Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

Ahonya ne sika wɔ ne fi, na ne trenee tena hɔ daa.

4 Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

Sum mu mpo hann pue ma nnipa a wɔteɛ, ma ɔdomfo, mmɔborɔhunufo ne ɔnokwafo.

5 Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

Yiyedi bɛba wɔn a wɔn tirim yɛ mmerɛw na wɔde fɛm kwa, wɔn a wɔde atɛntrenee yɛ wɔn nneɛma no so.

6 They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

Ampa ara ɔrenhinhim da biara da; wɔbɛkae onipa trenee daa.

7 They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

Ɔte asɛmmɔne a, ɛmmɔ no hu; ne koma si pi wɔ Awurade mu ahotoso mu.

8 They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

Ne koma wɔ bammɔ, na onsuro; awiei no ɔde nkonimdi behyia nʼatamfo.

9 They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

Ɔtow nʼakyɛde pete aman so ma ahiafo nea wohia, nʼadɔe no tena hɔ daa; wɔbɛkae wɔn daa na wɔahyɛ wɔn anuonyam.

10 The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.

Omumɔyɛfo behu ama ayɛ no yaw, ɔbɛtwɛre ne se na wafɔn; omumɔyɛfo tirimpɔw bɛyɛ ɔkwa.
