< Psalms 105 >

1 Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
Ɛda Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma ewiase nyinaa nhunu deɛ wayɛ.
2 Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate 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 the Lord.
Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya akoma mu anigyeɛ.
4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.
Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim ɛberɛ biara.
5 Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
Monkae anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, ne atemmuo a ɔbuiɛ,
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
Ao Abraham mma, Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, Ao Yakob mma a wapa wɔn.
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn. Nʼahennie da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever: 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 to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
apam a ɔne Abraham yɛeɛ no ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak no.
10 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ.
11 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”
12 When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:
Ɔkaa yei ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
13 And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so; firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
14 He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.
Wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ:
15 Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
“Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo; na monnyɛ mʼadiyifoɔ bɔne bi.”
16 And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support 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, who was sold for a slave.
na ɔsomaa ɔbarima bi dii wɔn anim, Yosef a wɔtɔn no sɛ akoa no.
18 They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,
Wɔde mpokyerɛ guu ne nan, na wɔde dadeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn hyɛɛ ne kɔn,
19 Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed 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 he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
Afei, ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔgyaa no; aman no sodifoɔ gyaa no.
21 He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.
Ɔyɛɛ no ne fiefoɔ so wura, deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa sodifoɔ,
22 That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.
sɛ ɔnkyerɛ ne mmapɔmma deɛ ɔpɛ na ɔnkyerɛ ne mpanimfoɔ nyansa.
23 And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.
Afei, Israel kɔɔ Misraim; Yakob kɔtenaa Ham asase so sɛ ɔnanani.
24 And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies,
Awurade maa ne nkurɔfoɔ ase dɔreeɛ; ɔyɛɛ wɔn bebree dodo maa wɔn atamfoɔ,
25 He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
wɔn a ɔdanee wɔn akoma sɛ wɔntane ne nkurɔfoɔ na wɔmpam nʼasomfoɔ tiri so.
26 He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.
Ɔsomaa ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose, ne Aaron a na wayi noɔ no.
27 He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.
Wɔyɛɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nwanwasoɔ wɔ wɔn mu, nʼanwanwadeɛ wɔ Ham asase so.
28 He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.
Ɔsomaa esum, na ɔmaa asase duruu sum ɛfiri sɛ na wɔate nʼasɛm no so atua.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.
Ɔmaa wɔn nsuo nyinaa danee mogya, nam so kumm emu mpataa.
30 Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.
Mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛɛ asase no so ma, na wɔhyɛnee ɔman no sodifoɔ mpia mu.
31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.
Ɔkasaeɛ, na nwansena bebree ne ntontom baa ɔman no mu baabiara.
32 He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.
Ɔmaa wɔn osutɔ danee ampariboɔ a anyinam nenam mu wɔ ɔman no nyinaa mu;
33 And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
Ɔsɛee wɔn bobe ne borɔdɔma nnua na ɔbubuu ɔman no so nnua pasaa.
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.
Ɔkasaeɛ, na ntutummɛ baeɛ mmɛbɛ a wɔntumi nkan wɔn;
35 And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
wɔwee nhahammono biara a ɛwɔ wɔn asase no so, na wɔdii wɔn mfuo so nnuane.
36 And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.
Afei ɔkunkumm wɔn asase so mmakan nyinaa, wɔn mmarimayɛ mu aba a ɛdi ɛkan nyinaa.
37 And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.
Ɔyii Israelfoɔ, a wɔso dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, firii wɔn mmusuakuo mu a obiara ho antɔ kyima.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them.
Misraim ani gyeeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔkɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na Israelfoɔ ho hu atɔ wɔn so.
39 He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night.
Ɔtrɛɛ omununkum mu kataa wɔn so, na ɔde ogya maa wɔn, sɛ ɛnyɛ hann anadwo.
40 They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
Wɔbisaeɛ, na ɔbrɛɛ wɔn mmoko. Ɔmaa ɔsoro aduane mee wɔn.
41 He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.
Ɔbuee ɔbotan mu maa nsuo firii mu baeɛ; na ɛtenee wɔ ɛserɛ no so sɛ asubɔnten.
42 Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
Ɔkaee ne bɔhyɛ kronkron bi a ɔhyɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Abraham no.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.
Ɔyii ne nkurɔfoɔ maa wɔn ani gyeeɛ. Wɔn a wapa wɔn no dii ahurisie;
44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:
ɔde amanaman no nsase maa wɔn, na deɛ ebinom abrɛ anya no bɛyɛɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ
45 That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
na wɔahwɛ nʼahyɛdeɛ adi ne mmara so. Monyi Awurade ayɛ.
