Nnwom 112

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

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

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

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

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

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

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

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

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

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

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

For 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 [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

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

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall 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 abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
