Nnwom 48
1 Kora mma dwom. Awurade yɛ kɛseɛ na ɔsɛ nkamfo wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn kuropɔn mu, ne bepɔ kronkron so.
A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy mountain,
2 Kuropɔn no ɔsorokɔ yɛ fɛ, ɛyɛ ewiase nyinaa anigyedeɛ. Bepɔ Sion te sɛ Safon sorɔnsorɔmmea, Ɔhene Kɛseɛ no kuropɔn.
Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King.
3 Onyankopɔn te nʼabankɛsewa mu. Wada ne ho adi sɛ ɔyɛ nʼaban.
God in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.
4 Ɛberɛ a ahemfo yi boaa wɔn ho ano, na wɔtuu ɔsa bɔɔ mu no,
For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.
5 wɔhunuu no ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn ahodwirie, na wɔde ehu dwaneeɛ.
They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.
6 Nketenkete kyeree wɔn wɔ hɔ, ɔyea a ɛte sɛ ɔbaa a awoɔ aka no.
Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.
7 Wosɛee wɔn sɛ Tarsis ahyɛn a apueeɛ mframa abɔ adwira wɔn.
With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
8 Sɛdeɛ yɛate no, saa ara na yɛahunu wɔ Otumfoɔ Awurade kuropɔn no mu, yɛn Onyankopɔn kuropɔn mu; Onyankopɔn ma ɛtim hɔ afebɔɔ.
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God — God establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Wʼasɔredan no mu, Ao Onyankopɔn, na yɛdwene wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no ho,
We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Thy temple.
10 Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼayɛyie duru asase ano te sɛ wo din; tenenee ayɛ wo nsa nifa mu ma.
As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Sion bepɔ di ahurisie, Yuda nkuraase no ani gye ɛsiane wʼatemmuo no enti.
Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments.
12 Nante Sion na twa ho hyia, kan nʼabantenten dodoɔ,
Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof.
13 dwene nʼafasuo ho yie, hwɛ nʼabankɛsewa no, na woaka ho asɛm akyerɛ nkyirimma.
Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 Saa Onyankopɔn yi yɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn daa daa; mpo ɔbɛyɛ yɛn kwankyerɛfoɔ akɔsi awieeɛ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.
