Nnwom 149

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Monto dwom foforɔ mma Awurade, monkamfo no wɔ ahotefoɔ asafo mu.

Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

2 Ma Israel ani nnye ne Yɛfoɔ mu. Ma Sion mma ani nnye wɔn Ɔhene mu.

Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

3 Ma wɔmfa asa nkamfo ne din na wɔmfa sankuo ne akasaeɛ nto dwom mma no.

They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

4 Na Awurade ani sɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ; ɔde nkwagyeɛ kyɛ hyɛ ahobrɛasefoɔ.

For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

5 Momma ahotefoɔ nni ahurisie wɔ animuonyam yi mu; na wɔnto ahosɛpɛ dwom wɔ wɔn mpa so.

Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

6 Onyankopɔn nkamfo nhyɛ wɔn anomu na ɛnyɛ akofena anofanu wɔ wɔn nsam,

The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

7 sɛ wɔmfa ntɔ werɛ wɔ amanaman no so ne asotwe wɔ nnipa no so,

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

8 sɛ wɔmfa nyɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn nkyekyere wɔn ahemfo, ne dadeɛ mpɔkyerɛ ngu wɔn atitire,

To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

9 sɛ wɔmfa mmu atɛn sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ atia wɔn no. Yei ne nʼahotefoɔ nyinaa animuonyam. Monkamfo Awurade.

To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
