Nnwom 128

1 Ɔsoroforo dwom. Nhyira ne wɔn a wosuro Awurade, na wɔnantew nʼakwan so.

Blessed is every one that feareth Yhwh; that walketh in his ways.

2 Wubedi wʼadwuma so aba; nhyira ne yiyedi bɛyɛ wo de.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Wo yere bɛyɛ sɛ bobe a ɛsow aba wɔ wo fi; na wo mmabarima ayɛ sɛ ngodua a afifi atwa wo pon ho ahyia.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Yiw, sɛɛ ne nea wobehyira onipa a osuro Awurade no.

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Yhwh.

5 Awurade nhyira wo mfi Sion na ɔmma wunhu Yerusalem yiyeyɛ; wo nkwanna nyinaa.

Yhwh shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Ɔmma wo ntena ase nhu wo mma mma. Asomdwoe nka Israel.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
