Nnwom 112

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

Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty on 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 shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

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

To the upright there rises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 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 the LORD.

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

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire on his enemies.

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

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
