Nnwom 15

1 Dawid dwom. Awurade, hena na ɔbɛtena wo kronkronbea ntamadan no mu? Hena na ɔbɛtena wo bepɔw kronkron no so?

[A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?

2 Nea ne ho nni asɛm na ɔyɛ nea ɛteɛ, nea ɔka nokware a efi ne koma mu

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.

3 na ɔmfa ne tɛkrɛma nsɛe nnipa nea ɔnyɛ ne yɔnko bɔne na ommu ne yɔnko nipa abomfiaa,

He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.

4 nea obu afideyɛni animtiaa na ɔde nidi ma wɔn a wosuro Awurade, nea odi ne ntam so, bere a etia no mpo,

In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear Jehovah. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.

5 nea ɔde ne sika bɔ bosea a onnye nsiho na onnye adanmude ntia nea odi bem. Nea ɔyɛ eyinom no renhinhim da.

He doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.
