Nnwom 128

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

A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.

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

For you will eat the labour of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

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.

Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.

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

Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.

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

May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
