Nnwom 126

1 Ɔsoroforo dwom. Bere a Awurade de Sion fi nnommum san bae no, yɛyɛɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔsosoo adae.

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. When ye Lord brought againe the captiuitie of Zion, we were like them that dreame.

2 Ɔserew hyɛɛ yɛn anom ma, anigye nnwom hyɛɛ yɛn tɛkrɛma so ma. Na wɔkaa wɔ amanaman no mu se, “Awurade ayɛ nneɛma akɛse ama wɔn.”

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with ioye: then sayd they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.

3 Awurade ayɛ nneɛma akɛse ama yɛn, na anigye ahyɛ yɛn ma.

The Lord hath done great things for vs, whereof we reioyce.

4 Awurade, san fa yɛn siade ma yɛn, te sɛ nsuwansuwa a ɛwɔ Negeb no.

O Lord, bring againe our captiuitie, as the riuers in the South.

5 Wɔn a wodua no nusu mu no de anigye nnwom betwa.

They that sowe in teares, shall reape in ioy.

6 Wɔn a wɔde osu fi adi so aba a wɔrekodua no, de anigye nnwom bɛsan aba a wɔsoso nnɔbae afiafi.

They went weeping and caried precious seede: but they shall returne with ioye and bring their sheaues.
