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 highly 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.
Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King.
3 Onyankopɔn te nʼabankɛse mu wada ne ho adi sɛ ɔyɛ nʼabandennen.
God in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.
4 Bere a ahemfo yi boaa wɔn ho ano, na wotuu ɔsa bɔɔ mu no,
For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.
5 wohuu no ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn ahodwiriw, na wɔde ehu guanee.
They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.
6 Wɔbɔɔ huboa wɔ hɔ, ɔyaw a ɛte sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no.
Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.
7 Wosɛe wɔn sɛ Tarsis ahyɛn a apuei mframa abɔ adwira wɔn.
With the east wind Thou breakest 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 have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God — God establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Wʼasɔredan no mu; Ao, Onyankopɔn, na yɛdwene wo dɔ a enni huammɔ da no ho,
We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Thy temple.
10 Ao, Onyankopɔn, wʼayeyi du asase ano te sɛ wo din te; trenee ayɛ wo nsa nifa mu ma.
As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Sion bepɔw di ahurusi, Yuda nkuraase no ani gye esiane wʼatemmu no nti.
Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments.
12 Nantew Sion na twa ho hyia, kan nʼabantenten dodow,
Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof.
13 dwene nʼafasu ho yiye, hwɛ nʼabankɛse no, na woaka ho asɛm akyerɛ nkyirimma.
Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 Saa Onyankopɔn yi yɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn daa daa; ɔbɛyɛ yɛn kwankyerɛfo akosi awiei mpo.
For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.
