Psalms 115

1 Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to you all glory should be given, because of your trustworthy love and faithfulness.

Ɛnyɛ yɛn, Ao Awurade, ɛnyɛ yɛn na wo din na animuonyam nka, wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛdie enti.

2 Why should the heathen nations ask, “Where is your God?”

Adɛn enti na aman no bisa sɛ, “Wɔn Onyankopɔn wɔ he?”

3 Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.

Yɛn Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔsoro; deɛ ɔpɛ biara na ɔyɛ.

4 Their idols are just things of silver and gold made by human hands.

Nanso wɔn ahoni yɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde onipa nsa na ayɛ.

5 They have mouths, but can't speak. They have eyes, but can't see.

Wɔwɔ ano, nanso wɔntumi nkasa; wɔwɔ ani, nanso wɔnhunu adeɛ.

6 They have ears, but can't hear. They have noses, but can't smell.

Wɔwɔ aso, nanso wɔnte asɛm; wɔwɔ hwene, nanso wɔnte hwa.

7 They have hands, but can't feel. They have feet, but can't walk. No sound comes from their throats.

Wɔwɔ nsa, nanso wɔnte nka; Wɔwɔ nan, nanso wɔnnante. Wɔntumi mma nnyegyeeɛ bi mfiri wɔn mene mu.

8 Those who make idols become just like them, and so does everyone who trusts in them.

Wɔn a wɔyɛɛ ahoni no bɛyɛ sɛ wɔn ara, saa ara na wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to wɔn so no bɛyɛ.

9 Israel, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.

Ao Israelfoɔ, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo ɔboafoɔ ne kyɛm.

10 Descendants of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.

Ao Aaron fie, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo ɔboafoɔ ne kyɛm.

11 Those who honor the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.

Mo a mosuro no, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo ɔboafoɔ ne kyɛm.

12 The Lord keeps us in mind and will be good to us. He will bless Israel, he will bless the descendants of Aaron.

Awurade kae yɛn na ɔbɛhyira yɛn: Ɔbɛhyira Israel fie, ɔbɛhyira Aaron fie

13 The Lord will bless all those who worship him, whoever they are.

Ɔbɛhyira wɔn a wɔsuro Awurade, nkumaa ne akɛseɛ nyinaa.

14 May the Lord be good to you, you and your children.

Awurade mma wʼase nnɔre, wo ne wo mma.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth.

Awurade nhyira wo, ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfoɔ no.

16 The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to humankind.

Ɔsorosoro yɛ Awurade dea, nanso asase deɛ, ɔde ama onipa.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord, those who have gone down into the silence of the grave.

Ɛnyɛ awufoɔ na wɔkamfo Awurade, wɔn a wɔkɔ fam dinn no rentumi nkamfo Awurade.

18 But we the living will always praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

Yɛn na yɛma Awurade so ɛnnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Monkamfo Awurade.
