Nnwom 125

1 Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to Awurade so no te sɛ Bepɔ Sion, a ɛnwosoɔ na ɛtim hɔ daa.

A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

2 Sɛdeɛ mmepɔ atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no, saa ara na Awurade atwa ne nkurɔfoɔ ho ahyia seesei ne daa.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.

3 Amumuyɛfoɔ ahempoma renka asase a wɔde ama teneneefoɔ so. Sɛ ɛba saa a, teneneefoɔ nam wɔn so bɛyɛ bɔne.

For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

4 Ao Awurade, wɔn a wɔyɛ papa no, yɛ wɔn papa, wɔn a wɔtene wɔ akoma mu no, yɛ wɔn papa.

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 Na wɔn a wɔmane fa akwan kɔntɔnkye so no deɛ, Awurade bɛpamo wɔn ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ. Asomdwoeɛ nka Israel.

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
