Nnwom 85
1 Koramma dwom. Wo Awurade, wodom wʼasase; wode Yakob ahonyade san maa no.
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2 Wode wo nkurɔfo bɔne kyɛɛ wɔn na wokataa wɔn nnebɔne nyinaa so.
Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Wode wʼabufuw nyinaa too nkyɛn na wodan fii wʼabufuwhyew ho.
Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
4 San gye yɛn bio, Onyankopɔn, yɛn Gyefo, na ma wʼani nnye yɛn ho.
Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
5 Wo bo befuw yɛn akosi daa ana? Wʼabufuw bɛtoa so akɔ awo ntoantoaso nyinaa so ana?
To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
6 Worenhyɛ yɛn den bio, na ama wo nkurɔfo asɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ wo mu ana?
Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
7 Awurade, kyerɛ yɛn wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no, na ma yɛn wo nkwagye no.
Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
8 Metie nea Awurade Nyankopɔn bɛka; ɔde asomdwoe hyɛ ne nkurɔfo, ahotefo no bɔ, enti ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsan kɔ agyimisɛm ho.
I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
9 Ampa ara, ne nkwagye bɛn wɔn a wosuro no, na nʼanuonyam bɛtena yɛn asase so.
Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
10 Ɔdɔ ne nokwaredi behyia, na trenee ne asomdwoe befew wɔn ho wɔn ho ano.
Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11 Nokwaredi bepue afi asase no so, na trenee ahwɛ afi ɔsoro.
Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
12 Awurade bɛma yɛn nea eye ampa ara na yɛn asase bɛma ne nnɔbae.
Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
13 Trenee di nʼanim siesie ɔkwan ma nʼanammɔntu.
Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
