Nnwom 99

1 Awurade di ɔhene, momma amanaman no ho mpopo; ɔte nʼahennwa so wɔ Kerubim ntam, ma asase nwoso.

The Lord reigneth; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is moved.

2 Awurade a ɔwɔ Sion yɛ kɛseɛ; wɔama ne so wɔ amanaman nyinaa mu.

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

3 Ma wɔnkamfo wo din a ɛso na ɛyɛ nwanwa no. Ɔyɛ kronkron.

They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

4 Ɔhene no yɛ kɛseɛ, ɔdɔ atɛntenenee, woama pɛpɛyɛ atim; wayɛ deɛ ɛyɛ na ɛtene wɔ Yakob mu.

And to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed in Jacob.

5 Momma Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn so na monsɔre no wɔ ne nan ntiasoɔ anim; ɔyɛ kronkron.

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his footstool: he is holy.—

6 Na Mose ne Aaron ka nʼasɔfoɔ no ho, na Samuel ka wɔn a wɔbɔɔ ne din no ho; wɔfrɛɛ Awurade, na ɔgyee wɔn so.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel among those that call on his name; they called on the Lord, and he answered them.

7 Ɔfiri omununkum dum mu kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn; wɔdii mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a ɔmaa wɔn no so.

In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto them.

8 Ao Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, wogyee wɔn so; woyɛɛ bɔnefakyɛ Onyankopɔn maa Israel, nanso wɔtwee wɔn aso wɔ wɔn nnebɔne ho.

O Lord, our God, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

9 Momma Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn so na monsɔre no wɔ ne bepɔ kronkron no so, na Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn yɛ kronkron.

Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.
