Nnwom 15

1 Dawid dwom. Awurade, hwan na ɔbɛsoeɛ wo kronkronbea hɔ? Hwan na ɔbɛtena wo bepɔ kronkron no so?

A Psalm by David. Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

2 Deɛ ne ho nni asɛm na ɔyɛ deɛ ɛtene, deɛ ɔka nokorɛ a ɛfiri nʼakomam

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

3 na ɔmfa ne tɛkrɛma nsɛe nnipa deɛ ɔnnyɛ ne yɔnko bɔne na ɔmmu ne yɔnko onipa abomfiaa,

he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

4 deɛ ɔbu afideyɛni animtiaa na ɔde anidie ma wɔn a wɔsuro Awurade, deɛ ɔdi ne ntam so ɛberɛ a ɛtia no mpo,

in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

5 deɛ ɔde ne sika bɔ bosea a ɔnnye nsiho na ɔnnye adanmudeɛ ntia deɛ ɔdi bem. Deɛ ɔyɛ yeinom no renhinhim da.

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
