Nnwom 48
1 Koramma dwom. Awurade yɛ ɔkɛse na ɔsɛ nkamfo, wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn kuropɔn mu, ne bepɔw kronkron so.
[A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Ne sorokɔ ma ɛyɛ fɛ, ɛyɛ wiase nyinaa anigyede. Bepɔw Sion te sɛ Safon sorɔnsorɔmmea, Ɔhenkɛse no kuropɔn.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3 Onyankopɔn te nʼabankɛse mu wada ne ho adi sɛ ɔyɛ nʼabandennen.
God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
4 Bere a ahemfo yi boaa wɔn ho ano, na wotuu ɔsa bɔɔ mu no,
For, look, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
5 wohuu no ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn ahodwiriw, na wɔde ehu guanee.
They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
6 Wɔbɔɔ huboa wɔ hɔ, ɔyaw a ɛte sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no.
Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Wosɛe wɔn sɛ Tarsis ahyɛn a apuei mframa abɔ adwira wɔn.
With the east wind, you break 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 YHWH of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
9 Wʼasɔredan no mu; Ao, Onyankopɔn, na yɛdwene wo dɔ a enni huammɔ da no ho,
We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.
10 Ao, Onyankopɔn, wʼayeyi du asase ano te sɛ wo din te; trenee ayɛ wo nsa nifa mu ma.
As is your name, God, so is your praise to the farthest parts of the earth. Your 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 your judgments.
12 Nantew Sion na twa ho hyia, kan nʼabantenten dodow,
Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
13 dwene nʼafasu ho yiye, hwɛ nʼabankɛse no, na woaka ho asɛm akyerɛ nkyirimma.
Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to 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 guide us forever.
