Nnwom 129

1 Ɔsoroforo dwom. “Wɔahyɛ me so pii afi me mmofraase, ma Israel nka ɛ.

The song of greces. Israel seie now; Ofte thei fouyten ayens me fro my yongth.

2 “Wɔahyɛ me so pii afi me mmofraase, nanso wontumi nnii me so nkonim ɛ.

Ofte thei fouyten ayens me fro my yongthe; and sotheli thei miyten not to me.

3 Fɛntɛmfo afɛntɛm mʼakyi ayɛ wɔn nkɔmoa atenten.

Synneris forgeden on my bak; thei maden long her wickidnesse.

4 Nanso Awurade yɛ ɔtreneeni; watwitwa amumɔyɛfo hama afi me ho ama made me ho.”

The `iust Lord schal beete the nollis of synneris;

5 Ma wɔn a wɔtan Sion nyinaa mfa animguase nsan wɔn akyi.

alle that haten Sion be schent, and turned abak.

6 Ma wɔnnyɛ sɛ sare a ɛwɔ ɔdan atifi, a ennyin na ɛhyew;

Be thei maad as the hey of hous coppis; that driede vp, bifore that it be drawun vp.

7 na nnɔbaetwafo ntumi nnya biribi mfi mu nhyɛ ne nsa ma, na nea ɔboaboa ano nso nnya hwee nhyɛ nʼabasa ma.

Of which hei he that schal repe, schal not fille his hond; and he that schal gadere hondfullis, schal not fille his bosum.

8 Mma wɔn a wotwa mu wɔ hɔ no nka se, “Awurade nhyira mmra mo so; yehyira mo wɔ Awurade din mu.”

And thei that passiden forth seiden not, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we blessiden you in the name of the Lord.
