Nnwom 126

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. In YHWH’s turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

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 our mouth is filled [with] laughter, And our tongue [with] singing, Then they say among nations, “YHWH did great things with these.”

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

YHWH did great things with us, We have been joyful.

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

Turn again, O YHWH, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.

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

Those sowing in tears, reap with singing,

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

Whoever goes on and weeps, Carrying the basket of seed, Surely comes in with singing, carrying his sheaves!
