Psalms 115

1 Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

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

2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

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

3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

Yɛn Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔsoro; deɛ 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 don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

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

6 They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

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

7 They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

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

8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, 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 their help and their shield.

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

10 House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

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

11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

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

12 The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

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

13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.

Ɔbɛhyira wɔn a wɔsuro Awurade, nkumaa ne akɛseɛ nyinaa.

14 May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.

Awurade mma wʼase nnɔre, wo ne wo mma.

15 Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Awurade nhyira wo, ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfoɔ no.

16 The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.

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

17 The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence,

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

18 but we will bless the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!

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