Nnwom 112

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

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth 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 are in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

Unto the upright there ariseth 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.

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; he shall maintain his cause in judgment.

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

For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had 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 adversaries.

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

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth 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.
