Nnwom 48
1 Koramma dwom. Awurade yɛ ɔkɛse na ɔsɛ nkamfo, wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn kuropɔn mu, ne bepɔw kronkron so.
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
2 Ne sorokɔ ma ɛyɛ fɛ, ɛyɛ wiase nyinaa anigyede. Bepɔw Sion te sɛ Safon sorɔnsorɔmmea, Ɔhenkɛse no kuropɔn.
Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
3 Onyankopɔn te nʼabankɛse mu wada ne ho adi sɛ ɔyɛ nʼabandennen.
God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
4 Bere a ahemfo yi boaa wɔn ho ano, na wotuu ɔsa bɔɔ mu no,
For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
5 wohuu no ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn ahodwiriw, na wɔde ehu guanee.
They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
6 Wɔbɔɔ huboa wɔ hɔ, ɔyaw a ɛte sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no.
Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
7 Wosɛe wɔn sɛ Tarsis ahyɛn a apuei mframa abɔ adwira wɔn.
With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
8 Sɛnea yɛate no, saa ara na yɛahu wɔ Asafo Awurade kuropɔn no mu, yɛn Nyankopɔn kuropɔn mu; Onyankopɔn ma etim hɔ afebɔɔ.
As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.
9 Wʼasɔredan no mu; Ao, Onyankopɔn, na yɛdwene wo dɔ a enni huammɔ da no ho,
Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
10 Ao, Onyankopɔn, wʼayeyi du asase ano te sɛ wo din te; trenee ayɛ wo nsa nifa mu ma.
Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Sion bepɔw di ahurusi, Yuda nkuraase no ani gye esiane wʼatemmu no nti.
Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
12 Nantew Sion na twa ho hyia, kan nʼabantenten dodow,
March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
13 dwene nʼafasu ho yiye, hwɛ nʼabankɛse no, na woaka ho asɛm akyerɛ nkyirimma.
consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
14 Saa Onyankopɔn yi yɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn daa daa; ɔbɛyɛ yɛn kwankyerɛfo akosi awiei mpo.
For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
