Psalms 115

1 Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.

Ɛnyɛ yɛn, Awurade, ɛnyɛ yɛn, na wo din na anuonyam nka, wʼadɔe ne wo nokwaredi nti.

2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?

Adɛn nti na aman no bisa se, “Wɔn Nyankopɔn wɔ he?”

3 But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.

Yɛn Nyankopɔn wɔ ɔsoro; nea ɔpɛ biara na ɔyɛ.

4 Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.

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

5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

Wɔwɔ ano, nanso wontumi nkasa; wɔwɔ ani, nanso wonhu ade.

6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.

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

7 They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.

Wɔwɔ nsa, nanso wɔnte nka; wɔwɔ anan, nanso wɔnnantew. Wontumi mma nnyigyei bi mfi wɔn mene mu.

8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust 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 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.

Mo Israelfo nyinaa, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo boafo ne kyɛm.

10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.

Ao Aaronfi, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo boafo ne kyɛm.

11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.

Mo a musuro no, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo boafo ne kyɛm.

12 The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.

Awurade kae yɛn na obehyira yɛn: Obehyira Israelfi, obehyira Aaronfi

13 He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.

Obehyira wɔn a wosuro Awurade, nketewa ne akɛse nyinaa.

14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.

Awurade mma wʼase nnɔ, wo ne wo mma.

15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.

Awurade nhyira wo, ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfo no.

16 The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.

Ɔsorosoro tɔnn yɛ Awurade de, nanso asase de, ɔde ama onipa.

17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.

Ɛnyɛ awufo na wɔkamfo Awurade wɔn a wɔkɔ fam dinn no.

18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.

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