Nnwom 95

1 Mommra mma yɛnto dwom wɔ anigyeɛ so mma Awurade; momma yɛmmɔ ose mma yɛn nkwagyeɛ Botan no.

Come! Let us ring out our joy to the Lord, let us merrily shout to our rock of salvation.

2 Momma yɛmfa aseda mmra nʼanim, na yɛmfa ahosɛpɛ nnwom mma no so.

Before his face let us come with thanks, with songs of praise let us shout to him.

3 Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn kɛseɛ, ɔhenkɛseɛ wɔ anyame nyinaa so.

For the Lord is a great God, king above all gods.

4 Ne nsam na asase mu nneɛma nyinaa wɔ, na mmepɔ mpampam wɔ no.

In his hand are the depths of the earth, the heights of the mountains are his.

5 Ɛpo wɔ no. Ɔno na ɔbɔeɛ, na ne nsa na ɛnwonoo asase kesee no.

The sea is his, for he made it: the dry land was formed by his hands.

6 Mommra mma yɛnkoto nsom no. Momma yɛmmu nkotodwe wɔ Awurade yɛn Yɛfoɔ no anim!

Come! Let us worship and bow on our knees to the Lord our creator.

7 Ɔyɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn; yɛyɛ nʼadidibea nnipa, ne nnwankuo a ɔhwɛ wɔn so. Ɛnnɛ, sɛ mote ne nne a,

For he is our God; and we are the people he tends, the sheep in his care. If only you would heed his voice today:

8 mommpirim mo akoma sɛdeɛ moyɛɛ wɔ Meriba no, sɛdeɛ moyɛɛ da no wɔ Masa, ɛserɛ no so no,

“Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, or at Massah, that day in the desert,

9 Ɛhɔ no, mo mpanimfoɔ sɔɔ me hwɛeɛ, a na wɔnim deɛ meyɛ maa wɔn.

when your ancestors tempted and tried me, though they had seen my deeds.

10 Me bo fuu saa nnipa no mfeɛ aduanan na mekaa sɛ, “Wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔn akoma amane afiri me ho, na wɔanhunu mʼakwan.”

“For forty years I was filled with loathing for that generation, so I said: ‘A people with wandering hearts are they, and ignorant of my ways.’

11 Ɛno enti mekaa ntam wɔ mʼabufuo mu sɛ, “Wɔrenhyɛne mʼahomegyeɛ mu da.”

So I solemnly swore to them in my anger, that never would they enter my place of rest.”
