Nnwom 112

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

Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty upon earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

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

To the upright there arises light in the darkness. He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment,

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

for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

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

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

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

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, even until he looks over his adversaries.

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

He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor.

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

A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish.
