Nnwom 85
1 Koramma dwom. Wo Awurade, wodom wʼasase; wode Yakob ahonyade san maa no.
Lord, you have been favorable to your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Wode wo nkurɔfo bɔne kyɛɛ wɔn na wokataa wɔn nnebɔne nyinaa so.
You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Wode wʼabufuw nyinaa too nkyɛn na wodan fii wʼabufuwhyew ho.
You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
4 San gye yɛn bio, Onyankopɔn, yɛn Gyefo, na ma wʼani nnye yɛn ho.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
5 Wo bo befuw yɛn akosi daa ana? Wʼabufuw bɛtoa so akɔ awo ntoantoaso nyinaa so ana?
Will you be angry with us for ever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
6 Worenhyɛ yɛn den bio, na ama wo nkurɔfo asɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ wo mu ana?
Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Awurade, kyerɛ yɛn wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no, na ma yɛn wo nkwagye no.
Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
8 Metie nea Awurade Nyankopɔn bɛka; ɔde asomdwoe hyɛ ne nkurɔfo, ahotefo no bɔ, enti ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsan kɔ agyimisɛm ho.
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Ampa ara, ne nkwagye bɛn wɔn a wosuro no, na nʼanuonyam bɛtena yɛn asase so.
Surely his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Ɔdɔ ne nokwaredi behyia, na trenee ne asomdwoe befew wɔn ho wɔn ho ano.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Nokwaredi bepue afi asase no so, na trenee ahwɛ afi ɔsoro.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Awurade bɛma yɛn nea eye ampa ara na yɛn asase bɛma ne nnɔbae.
Yes, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Trenee di nʼanim siesie ɔkwan ma nʼanammɔntu.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
