Nnwom 128

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

BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

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

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine 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 by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

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

Behold, that 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 shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
