Psalms 105
1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.
Ɛda Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma ewiase nyinaa nhunu deɛ wayɛ.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.
Monto dwom mma no, monto ayɛyie dwom mma no; monka nʼanwanwadeɛ no nyinaa.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya akoma mu anigyeɛ.
4 Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually;
Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim ɛberɛ biara.
5 Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth:
Monkae anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, ne atemmuo a ɔbuiɛ,
6 Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Ao Abraham mma, Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, Ao Yakob mma a wapa wɔn.
7 He, Jehovah, is our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn. Nʼahennie da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
8 He is ever mindful of his covenant, — the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, —
Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ apem no,
9 Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
apam a ɔne Abraham yɛeɛ no ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak no.
10 And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ.
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”
12 When they were a few men in number, of small account, and strangers in it.
Ɔkaa yei ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
13 And they went from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so; firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
14 He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes,
Wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ:
15 [Saying, ] Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.
“Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo; na monnyɛ mʼadiyifoɔ bɔne bi.”
16 And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.
Ɔmaa ɛkɔm baa asase no so na ɔsɛee akwan a wɔfa so nya wɔn aduane nyinaa;
17 He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman.
na ɔsomaa ɔbarima bi dii wɔn anim, Yosef a wɔtɔn no sɛ akoa no.
18 They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;
Wɔde mpokyerɛ guu ne nan, na wɔde dadeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn hyɛɛ ne kɔn,
19 Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.
kɔsii sɛ deɛ ɔhyɛɛ ho nkɔm no baa mu, kɔsii sɛ Awurade asɛm no daa no adi sɛ ɔyɛ nokwafoɔ.
20 The king sent and loosed him — the ruler of peoples — and let him go free.
Afei, ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔgyaa no; aman no sodifoɔ gyaa no.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions:
Ɔyɛɛ no ne fiefoɔ so wura, deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa sodifoɔ,
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
sɛ ɔnkyerɛ ne mmapɔmma deɛ ɔpɛ na ɔnkyerɛ ne mpanimfoɔ nyansa.
23 And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Afei, Israel kɔɔ Misraim; Yakob kɔtenaa Ham asase so sɛ ɔnanani.
24 And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.
Awurade maa ne nkurɔfoɔ ase dɔreeɛ; ɔyɛɛ wɔn bebree dodo maa wɔn atamfoɔ,
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
wɔn a ɔdanee wɔn akoma sɛ wɔntane ne nkurɔfoɔ na wɔmpam nʼasomfoɔ tiri so.
26 He sent Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen:
Ɔsomaa ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose, ne Aaron a na wayi noɔ no.
27 They set his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham.
Wɔyɛɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nwanwasoɔ wɔ wɔn mu, nʼanwanwadeɛ wɔ Ham asase so.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
Ɔsomaa esum, na ɔmaa asase duruu sum ɛfiri sɛ na wɔate nʼasɛm no so atua.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.
Ɔmaa wɔn nsuo nyinaa danee mogya, nam so kumm emu mpataa.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, — in the chambers of their kings.
Mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛɛ asase no so ma, na wɔhyɛnee ɔman no sodifoɔ mpia mu.
31 He spoke, and there came dog-flies, [and] gnats in all their borders.
Ɔkasaeɛ, na nwansena bebree ne ntontom baa ɔman no mu baabiara.
32 He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land;
Ɔmaa wɔn osutɔ danee ampariboɔ a anyinam nenam mu wɔ ɔman no nyinaa mu;
33 And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.
Ɔsɛee wɔn bobe ne borɔdɔma nnua na ɔbubuu ɔman no so nnua pasaa.
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number;
Ɔkasaeɛ, na ntutummɛ baeɛ mmɛbɛ a wɔntumi nkan wɔn;
35 And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
wɔwee nhahammono biara a ɛwɔ wɔn asase no so, na wɔdii wɔn mfuo so nnuane.
36 And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour.
Afei ɔkunkumm wɔn asase so mmakan nyinaa, wɔn mmarimayɛ mu aba a ɛdi ɛkan nyinaa.
37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes.
Ɔyii Israelfoɔ, a wɔso dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, firii wɔn mmusuakuo mu a obiara ho antɔ kyima.
38 Egypt rejoiced at their departure; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
Misraim ani gyeeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔkɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na Israelfoɔ ho hu atɔ wɔn so.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
Ɔtrɛɛ omununkum mu kataa wɔn so, na ɔde ogya maa wɔn, sɛ ɛnyɛ hann anadwo.
40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Wɔbisaeɛ, na ɔbrɛɛ wɔn mmoko. Ɔmaa ɔsoro aduane mee wɔn.
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed forth; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
Ɔbuee ɔbotan mu maa nsuo firii mu baeɛ; na ɛtenee wɔ ɛserɛ no so sɛ asubɔnten.
42 For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant;
Ɔkaee ne bɔhyɛ kronkron bi a ɔhyɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Abraham no.
43 And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing;
Ɔyii ne nkurɔfoɔ maa wɔn ani gyeeɛ. Wɔn a wapa wɔn no dii ahurisie;
44 And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples:
ɔde amanaman no nsase maa wɔn, na deɛ ebinom abrɛ anya no bɛyɛɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ
45 That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!
na wɔahwɛ nʼahyɛdeɛ adi ne mmara so. Monyi Awurade ayɛ.
