Nnwom 112

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Nhyira nka onipa a ɔsuro Awurade na ɔnya nʼahyɛdeɛ mu anigyeɛ pii.

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

2 Ne mma bɛyɛ atumfoɔ wɔ asase no so; teneneefoɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ bɛnya nhyira.

His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Ahonya ne sika wɔ ne fie, na ne tenenee tena hɔ daa.

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Esum mu mpo hann pue ma nnipa a wɔtene, ma ɔdomfoɔ, mmɔborɔhunufoɔ ne ɔnokwafoɔ.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

5 Yiedie bɛba deɛ ne tirim yɛ mmrɛ na ɔde fɛm kwa. Yiedie bɛba deɛ ɔde atɛntenenee yɛ ne nneɛma so.

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

6 Ampa ara, ɔrenhinhim da biara da; wɔbɛkae onipa tenenee daa.

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 Ɔte asɛmmɔne a, ɛmmɔ ne hu; nʼakoma atim wɔ Awurade mu ahotosoɔ mu.

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 Nʼakoma wɔ banbɔ, na ɔnsuro; awieeɛ no, ɔde nkonimdie bɛhyia nʼatamfoɔ.

His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

9 Ɔto nʼakyɛdeɛ pete aman so ma ahiafoɔ, ne tenenee wɔ hɔ daa; wɔbɛkae wɔn daa na wɔahyɛ wɔn animuonyam.

He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

10 Omumuyɛfoɔ bɛhunu ama ayɛ no yea, ɔbɛtwere ne se na wafɔn; omumuyɛfoɔ tirimpɔ bɛyɛ kwa.

The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
