Nnwom 85
1 Kora mma dwom. Ao Awurade wohunuu wʼasase mmɔbɔ; wode Yakob ahonyadeɛ sane maa no.
For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. O Lord, thou has taken pleasure in thy land: thou hast turned back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Wode wo nkurɔfoɔ bɔne kyɛɛ wɔn na wokataa wɔn nnebɔne nyinaa so.
Thou hast forgiven thy people their transgressions; thou has covered all their sins. (Pause)
3 Wode wʼabofuo too nkyɛn na wodane firii wʼabufuhyeɛ ho.
Thou has caused all thy wrath to cease: thou hast turned from thy fierce anger.
4 Sane gye yɛn bio, Ao Onyankopɔn, yɛn Gyefoɔ, na ma wʼani nnye yɛn ho.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn thy anger away from us.
5 Wo bo bɛfu yɛn akɔsi daa anaa? Wʼabofuo bɛtoa so akɔ awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ nyinaa so anaa?
Wouldest thou be angry with us for ever? or wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Worenhyɛ yɛn den bio, na ama wo nkurɔfoɔ asɛpɛ wɔn ho wɔ wo mu anaa?
O God, thou wilt turn and quicken us; and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
7 Ao Awurade, kyerɛ yɛn wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no, na ma yɛn wo nkwagyeɛ no.
Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
8 Mɛtie deɛ Awurade Onyankopɔn bɛka. Ɔde asomdwoeɛ hyɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ, ahotefoɔ no bɔ, enti ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsane kɔ agyimisɛm ho.
I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart toward him.
9 Ampa ara, ne nkwagyeɛ bɛne wɔn a wɔsuro no, na nʼanimuonyam bɛtena yɛn asase so.
Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Ɔdɔ ne nokorɛdie bɛhyia, na tenenee ne asomdwoeɛ bɛfe wɔn ho wɔn ho ano.
Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
11 Nokorɛdie bɛpue afiri asase no so, na tenenee ahwɛ afiri soro.
Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12 Awurade bɛma yɛn deɛ ɛyɛ ampa ara na yɛn asase bɛma ne nnɔbaeɛ.
For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.
13 Tenenee di nʼanim siesie ɛkwan ma nʼanammɔntuo.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way.
