Nnwom 128

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

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

Thou shalt eat the labor 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

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

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

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

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity 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. Peace be to Israel!
