Nnwom 135
1 Monkamfo Awurade. Monkamfo Awurade din; monkamfo no, mo Awurade asomfoɔ,
Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 mo a mosom wɔ Awurade fie, wɔ adihɔ a ɛwɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn fie.
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Monkamfo Awurade ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ; monto ayɛyie dwom mma ne din, na ɛno na ɛyɛ anisɔ.
Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 Awurade ayi Yakob sɛ ɔnyɛ ne deɛ, wayi Israel sɛ nʼadeɛ a ɛsom bo.
For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
5 Menim sɛ Awurade so; Ɔso sene anyame nyinaa.
For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.
6 Awurade yɛ deɛ ɔpɛ biara, wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so, ɛpo ne emu abunu nyinaa.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;
7 Ɔma omununkum ma ne ho so firi asase ano ba; ɔsoma anyinam ka osutɔ ho na ɔma ahum tu firi nʼakoradan mu.
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:
8 Ɔkumm Misraim mmakan, nnipa ne mmoa mmakan.
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
9 Ɔsomaa ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne nʼanwanwadeɛ baa mo mfimfini, Ao Misraim, de tiaa Farao ne nʼasomfoɔ nyinaa.
Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;
10 Ɔsɛee amanaman pii na ɔkunkumm ahemfo akɛseɛ,
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,
11 Amorifoɔ ɔhene, Sihon Basan ɔhene, Og ne Kanaan ahemfo nyinaa,
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 na ɔde wɔn nsase maa sɛ agyapadeɛ; ɔde maa ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ.
And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 Ao Awurade, wo din wɔ hɔ daa. Ao Awurade wo din ahyeta awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.
Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.
14 Awurade bɛdi ama ne nkurɔfoɔ na ɔbɛhunu nʼasomfoɔ mmɔbɔ.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
15 Amanaman no ahoni yɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde onipa nsa na ayɛ.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
16 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;
17 wɔwɔ aso, nanso wɔnte asɛm, na ahomeɛ nso nni wɔn anom.
They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 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.
19 Monkamfo Awurade, Ao Israel fiefoɔ; monkamfo Awurade, Ao Aaron fiefoɔ;
House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;
20 monkamfo Awurade, Ao Lewi fiefoɔ; monkamfo Awurade, mo a mosuro no.
House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
21 Momfiri Sion nkamfo Awurade, monkamfo deɛ ɔte Yerusalem no. Monkamfo Awurade.
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
