Nnwom 128

1 Ɔsorokorɔ dwom. Nhyira ne wɔn a wɔsuro Awurade, na wɔnante nʼakwan so.

A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.

2 Wobɛdi wʼadwuma so aba; nhyira ne yiedie bɛyɛ wo dea.

When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Wo yere bɛyɛ sɛ bobe a ɛso aba wɔ wo fie; na wo mmammarima ayɛ sɛ ngo dua a afifiri atwa wo ɛpono ho ahyia.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.

4 Yei ne onipa a wɔahyira noɔ, deɛ ɔsuro Awurade no.

Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

5 Awurade nhyira wo mfiri Sion wo nkwa nna nyinaa; na ɔmma wo nhunu Yerusalem nkɔsoɔ,

The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

6 na ɔmma wo ntena ase nhunu wo mma mma. Asomdwoeɛ nka Israel.

And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
