< Psalms 115 >
1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.
Ɛnyɛ yɛn, Awurade, ɛnyɛ yɛn, na wo din na anuonyam nka, wʼadɔe ne wo nokwaredi nti.
2 Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is now their God?'
Adɛn nti na aman no bisa se, “Wɔn Nyankopɔn wɔ he?”
3 But our God is in the heavens; whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.
Yɛn Nyankopɔn wɔ ɔsoro; nea ɔpɛ biara na ɔyɛ.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Nanso wɔn ahoni yɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde onipa nsa na ayɛ.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
Wɔwɔ ano, nanso wontumi nkasa; wɔwɔ ani, nanso wonhu ade.
6 They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
Wɔwɔ aso, nanso wɔnte asɛm; wɔwɔ hwene, nanso wɔnte hua.
7 They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they with their throat.
Wɔwɔ nsa, nanso wɔnte nka; wɔwɔ anan, nanso wɔnnantew. Wontumi mma nnyigyei bi mfi wɔn mene mu.
8 They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth 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! He is their help and their shield!
Mo Israelfo nyinaa, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo boafo ne kyɛm.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
Ao Aaronfi, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo boafo ne kyɛm.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
Mo a musuro no, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo boafo ne kyɛm.
12 The LORD hath been mindful of us, He will bless — He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
Awurade kae yɛn na obehyira yɛn: Obehyira Israelfi, obehyira Aaronfi
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
Obehyira wɔn a wosuro Awurade, nketewa ne akɛse nyinaa.
14 The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
Awurade mma wʼase nnɔ, wo ne wo mma.
15 Blessed be ye of the LORD who made heaven and earth.
Awurade nhyira wo, ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfo no.
16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth hath He given to the children of men.
Ɔsorosoro tɔnn yɛ Awurade de, nanso asase de, ɔde ama onipa.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;
Ɛnyɛ awufo na wɔkamfo Awurade wɔn a wɔkɔ fam dinn no.
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Hallelujah.
Yɛn na yɛma Awurade so nnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Monkamfo Awurade.
