Nnwom 85
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Koramma dwom. Wo Awurade, wodom wʼasase; wode Yakob ahonyade san maa no.
Of the sones of Chore. Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob.
2 Wode wo nkurɔfo bɔne kyɛɛ wɔn na wokataa wɔn nnebɔne nyinaa so.
Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem.
3 Wode wʼabufuw nyinaa too nkyɛn na wodan fii wʼabufuwhyew ho.
Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun.
4 San gye yɛn bio, Onyankopɔn, yɛn Gyefo, na ma wʼani nnye yɛn ho.
God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs.
5 Wo bo befuw yɛn akosi daa ana? Wʼabufuw bɛtoa so akɔ awo ntoantoaso nyinaa so ana?
Whether thou schalt be wrooth to vs withouten ende; ether schalt thou holde forth thin ire fro generacioun in to generacioun?
6 Worenhyɛ yɛn den bio, na ama wo nkurɔfo asɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ wo mu ana?
God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee.
7 Awurade, kyerɛ yɛn wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no, na ma yɛn wo nkwagye no.
Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs.
8 Metie nea Awurade Nyankopɔn bɛka; ɔde asomdwoe hyɛ ne nkurɔfo, ahotefo no bɔ, enti ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsan kɔ agyimisɛm ho.
I schal here what the Lord God schal speke in me; for he schal speke pees on his puple. And on hise hooli men; and on hem that ben turned to herte.
9 Ampa ara, ne nkwagye bɛn wɔn a wosuro no, na nʼanuonyam bɛtena yɛn asase so.
Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond.
10 Ɔdɔ ne nokwaredi behyia, na trenee ne asomdwoe befew wɔn ho wɔn ho ano.
Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid.
11 Nokwaredi bepue afi asase no so, na trenee ahwɛ afi ɔsoro.
Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene.
12 Awurade bɛma yɛn nea eye ampa ara na yɛn asase bɛma ne nnɔbae.
For the Lord schal yyue benignyte; and oure erthe schal yyue his fruyt.
13 Trenee di nʼanim siesie ɔkwan ma nʼanammɔntu.
Riytfulnesse schal go bifore him; and schal sette hise steppis in the weie.
