Nnwom 24

1 Dawid dwom. Asase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ Awurade de; wiase ne wɔn a wɔte mu nyinaa wɔ no;

On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

2 efisɛ ɔno na ɔtoo ne fapem wɔ po so na ɔde sii nsu ani.

For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Hena na obetumi aforo Awurade bepɔw no? Hena na obetumi agyina ne tenabea kronkron hɔ?

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Nea ɔyɛ ade trenee na ne koma mu tew, nea ne kra nni ahoni akyi na ɔnka ntamhunu.

The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 Obenya Awurade nsam nhyira ne bembu a efi ne Nkwagye Nyankopɔn.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

6 Saa na awo ntoatoaso a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no te wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wʼanim no, Yakob Nyankopɔn.

This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

7 Mo aponkɛse, momma mo ti so; wɔmma mo so, mo tete apon, na Anuonyam Hene nhyɛn mu.

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

8 Hena ne saa Anuonyam Hene yi? Ɔno ne Awurade hoɔdenfo ne otumfo no Awurade a ɔyɛ ɔko mu nkonimdifo.

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Momma mo ti so, mo aponkɛse momma wɔn so, mo tete apon, na anuonyam Hene no nkɔ mu.

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

10 Hena ne saa anuonyam Hene yi? Asafo Awurade no, ɔno ne anuonyam Hene no.

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
