Nnwom 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth 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.

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, 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.

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

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

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

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

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

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

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

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

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