< Nnwom 2 >

1 Adɛn enti na amanamanmufoɔ no bo afu? Adɛn enti na wɔsɛe mmerɛ yɛ nhyehyɛeɛ hunu yi?
Why are the nations in turmoil, and why do the peoples make plots that will fail?
2 Asase so ahemfo sɔre gyina na atumfoɔ bom tu agyina tia Awurade ne Deɛ Wɔasra no no.
The kings of the earth take their stand together and the rulers conspire together against Yahweh and against his Messiah, saying,
3 Wɔka sɛ, “Momma yɛmmubu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn na yɛnto wɔn mpokyerɛ ngu.”
“Let us tear off the shackles they put on us and throw off their chains.”
4 Deɛ ɔte adwa so wɔ soro no sere; Awurade di wɔn ho fɛw.
He who sits in the heavens will sneer at them; the Lord mocks them.
5 Afei ɔka wɔn anim wɔ nʼabufuo mu hunahuna wɔn wɔ nʼabufuhyeɛ mu, ka sɛ,
Then he will speak to them in his anger and terrify them in his rage, saying,
6 “Masi me Ɔhene wɔ Sion, me bepɔ kronkron no so.”
“I myself have anointed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 Mɛpae mu aka Awurade ahyɛdeɛ: Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Woyɛ me Babarima; ɛnnɛ mayɛ wʼAgya.
I will announce a decree of Yahweh. He said to me, “You are my son! This day I have become your father.
8 Bisa me, na mede amanaman nyinaa bɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ, asase ano nyinaa bɛyɛ wo dea.
Ask me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the farthermost regions of the earth for your possession.
9 Wode dadeɛ ahempoma bɛdi wɔn so; na woabobɔ wɔn sɛ ɔnwomfoɔ ahina.”
You will break them with an iron rod; like a jar of a potter, you will smash them to pieces.”
10 Enti mo ahemfo, monsua nyansa; monkae kɔkɔbɔ yi, mo asase sodifoɔ.
So now, you kings, be warned; be corrected, you rulers of the earth.
11 Momfa suro nsom Awurade na monsɛpɛ mo ho ahopopoɔ mu.
Worship Yahweh in fear and rejoice with trembling.
12 Momfe Ɔba no ano, na ne bo amfu ansɛe mo wɔ mo akwan so, ɛfiri sɛ nʼabufuhyeɛ tumi sɔre ntɛm so. Nhyira ne wɔn a wɔdwane toa no nyinaa.
Kiss the son or he will be angry with you, and you will die in the way when his anger burns for just a moment. How blessed are all those who seek refuge in him.
