Nnwom 126

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

A song of ascents. When Yahweh restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.

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 mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”

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

Yahweh did great things for us; how glad we were!

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

Restore our fortunes, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.

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

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

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

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will return again with shouts of joy, bringing his bundles of grain with him.
