Nnwom 112

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

Praise all of you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

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

Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

A good man shows favour, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

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

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
