Nnwom 115
1 Ɛnyɛ yɛn, Ao Awurade, ɛnyɛ yɛn na wo din na animuonyam nka, wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛdie enti.
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
2 Adɛn enti na aman no bisa sɛ, “Wɔn Onyankopɔn wɔ he?”
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3 Yɛn Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔsoro; deɛ ɔpɛ biara na ɔyɛ.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4 Nanso wɔn ahoni yɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde onipa nsa na ayɛ.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
5 Wɔwɔ ano, nanso wɔntumi nkasa; wɔwɔ ani, nanso wɔnhunu adeɛ.
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6 Wɔwɔ aso, nanso wɔnte asɛm; wɔwɔ hwene, nanso wɔnte hwa.
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
7 Wɔwɔ nsa, nanso wɔnte nka; Wɔwɔ nan, nanso wɔnnante. Wɔntumi mma nnyegyeeɛ bi mfiri wɔn mene mu.
They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8 Wɔn a wɔyɛɛ ahoni no bɛyɛ sɛ wɔn ara, saa ara na wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to wɔn so no bɛyɛ.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
9 Ao Israelfoɔ, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo ɔboafoɔ ne kyɛm.
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10 Ao Aaron fie, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo ɔboafoɔ ne kyɛm.
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11 Mo a mosuro no, momfa mo ho nto Awurade so, ɔyɛ mo ɔboafoɔ ne kyɛm.
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
12 Awurade kae yɛn na ɔbɛhyira yɛn: Ɔbɛhyira Israel fie, ɔbɛhyira Aaron fie
Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 Ɔbɛhyira wɔn a wɔsuro Awurade, nkumaa ne akɛseɛ nyinaa.
He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14 Awurade mma wʼase nnɔre, wo ne wo mma.
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15 Awurade nhyira wo, ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfoɔ no.
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16 Ɔsorosoro yɛ Awurade dea, nanso asase deɛ, ɔde ama onipa.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 Ɛnyɛ awufoɔ na wɔkamfo Awurade, wɔn a wɔkɔ fam dinn no rentumi nkamfo Awurade.
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18 Yɛn na yɛma Awurade so ɛnnɛ ne daa nyinaa. Monkamfo Awurade.
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
