Nnwom 99

1 Awurade di hene, momma amanaman no ho mpopo; ɔte nʼahengua so wɔ kerubim ntam, ma asase nwosow.

The Lord reigneth; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is moved.

2 Awurade a ɔwɔ Sion yɛ ɔkɛse; wɔama no so wɔ amanaman nyinaa mu.

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

3 Ma wɔnkamfo wo din a ɛso na ɛyɛ nwonwa no, ɔyɛ ɔkronkron.

They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

4 Ɔhene no yɛ ɔkɛse, ɔdɔ atɛntrenee, woama pɛpɛyɛ atim; wayɛ nea eye na ɛteɛ wɔ Yakob mu.

And to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed in Jacob.

5 Momma Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn so na monsɔre no wɔ ne nan ntiaso anim; ɔyɛ ɔkronkron.

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his footstool: he is holy.—

6 Na Mose ne Aaron ka nʼasɔfo no ho, na Samuel ka wɔn a wɔbɔɔ ne din no ho; wɔfrɛɛ Awurade, na ogyee wɔn so.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel among those that call on his name; they called on the Lord, and he answered them.

7 Ofi omununkum dum mu kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn; wodii mmara ne ahyɛde a ɔmaa wɔn no so.

In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto them.

8 Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, wugyee wɔn so; woyɛɛ bɔnefakyɛ Nyankopɔn maa Israel, nanso wotwee wɔn aso wɔ wɔn nnebɔne ho.

O Lord, our God, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

9 Momma Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn so na monsɔre no wɔ ne bepɔw kronkron no so, na Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ ɔkronkron.

Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.
