Psalms 68
1 Unto the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.
Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid dwom. Ma Onyankopɔn nsɔre, na nʼatamfoɔ mmɔ mpete; wɔn a wɔtane noɔ no nnwane mfiri nʼanim.
2 As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Sɛdeɛ mframa bɔ wisie gu no, saa ara na bɔ wɔn gu; sɛdeɛ sradeɛ nane wɔ ogya so no, saa ara na amumuyɛfoɔ nyera mfiri Onyankopɔn anim.
3 And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness.
Nanso, ma ateneneefoɔ ani nnye na wɔnsɛpɛ wɔn ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; ma wɔn ho ntɔ wɔn na wɔnni ahurisie.
4 Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,
To dwom ma Onyankopɔn, to dwom yi ne din ayɛ. Ma deɛ ɔnante omununkum soɔ no din so. Ne din ne Awurade; ma wʼani nnye wɔ nʼanim.
5 Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place:
Nwisiaa agya ne deɛ ɔdi akunafoɔ asɛm ma wɔn ne Onyankopɔn a ɔte nʼatenaeɛ kronkron hɔ.
6 God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
Ɔma onnibie tena mmusua mu, na ɔde nnwontoɔ yi nneduafoɔ ma wɔde wɔn ho; na atuatefoɔ deɛ, wɔtena asase a awo so.
7 O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass through the desert:
Ao Onyankopɔn, ɛberɛ a wodii wo nkurɔfoɔ anim, ɛberɛ a wode wɔn faa ɛserɛ so no,
8 The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
asase wosoeɛ, na ɔsoro tuee osuo guu fam, wɔ Onyankopɔn, Sinai Onyankopɔn no, Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn no anim.
9 Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
Womaa osuo tɔɔ bebree, Ao Onyankopɔn, guu wʼagyapadeɛ a abotoɔ no so ma ɛyɛɛ frɔmm.
10 In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.
Wo nkurɔfoɔ bɔɔ atenaseɛ wɔ so. Ao Onyankopɔn, wonam wʼadɔeɛ bebree no mu hwɛɛ ahiafoɔ.
11 The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power.
Awurade kaa asɛm no, na dodoɔ no ara ne wɔn a wɔpaee mu kaeɛ;
12 The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
“Ahemfo ne wɔn asraafoɔ dwane ntɛm so; na mmaa kyɛ afodeɛ no.
13 If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
Mpo wɔn a wɔn daberɛ wɔ nnwankuo mu no, wɔnya afodeɛ no bi. Wɔnya aborɔnoma a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ne sika adura wɔn ntaban so.”
14 When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
Ɛberɛ a Otumfoɔ bɔɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase no so hweteeɛ no, na ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma a agu Salmon so.
15 The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain.
Basan mmepɔ gyinagyina hɔ, Basan mmepɔ so yɛ mmɔnkyi mmɔnka.
16 Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
Ao mmepɔ mmɔnkyi mmɔnka, adɛn enti na mode ani bɔne hwɛ bepɔ a Onyankopɔn ayi sɛ ɔbɛdi so ɔhene, baabi a Awurade ankasa bɛtena afebɔɔ?
17 The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place.
Onyankopɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ ɔpedu mpem mpem ne ɔpepem mpem mpem; Awurade firi Sinai aba ne kronkronbea.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God.
Ɛberɛ a woforo kɔɔ soro no, wode nnommumfoɔ kaa wo ho; wonyaa ayɛyɛdeɛ firii nnipa hɔ, firii atuatefoɔ hɔ mpo, sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wobɛtena hɔ, Ao Awurade Onyankopɔn.
19 Blessed be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
Ayɛyie nka Awurade Onyankopɔn, yɛn Agyenkwa, deɛ ɔsoa yɛn nnesoa da biara no.
20 Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
Yɛn Onyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔgye nkwa; na Awurade na ɔgye yɛn firi owuo mu.
21 But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn bɛyam nʼatamfoɔ ti, wɔn a wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne no.
22 The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
Awurade ka sɛ, “Mede wɔn bɛfiri Basan aba; mede wɔn bɛfiri ɛpo bunu mu aba,
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
na moanante wɔn a wɔkyiri moɔ no mogya mu na mo nkraman tɛkrɛma anya wɔn kyɛfa.”
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
Ao Onyankopɔn, yɛahunu wo santen yuu no, me Onyankopɔn ne me Ɔhene santen yuu no a ɔde reba ne kronkronbea hɔ.
25 Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
Nnwontofoɔ no wɔ animu, ɛnna asankubɔfoɔ no nso di so, na mmabaawa a wɔrewoso akasaeɛ nso ka wɔn ho.
26 In the churches bless ye God the Lord, from the fountains of Israel.
Monkamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asafo kɛseɛ no mu; monkamfo Awurade wɔ Israel nipakuo no mu.
27 There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
Abusuakuo ketewa Benyamin na ɔdi wɔn ɛkan, Yuda mmapɔmma kuo kɛseɛ no di so, na Sebulon ne Naftali mmapɔmma aba.
28 Command thy strength, O God: confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
Kyerɛ wo tumi, Onyankopɔn; da wʼahoɔden adi kyerɛ yɛn, sɛdeɛ woayɛ pɛn no.
29 From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to thee.
Wʼasɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem enti ahemfo de ayɛyɛdeɛ bɛbrɛ wo.
30 Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars:
Ka aboa a ɔhyɛ demmire mu no anim, ne anantwinini kuo a wɔhyɛ amanaman no anantwie mma mu no. Brɛ wɔn ase kɔsi sɛ wɔde dwetɛ mpɔ bɛba. Bɔ wɔn a wɔn ani gye ɔko ho no pansam.
31 Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
Ananmusifoɔ bɛfiri Misraim aba, na Kus de ne ho bɛma Onyankopɔn.
32 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye to God,
Ao ewiase ahennie, monto dwom mma Onyankopɔn, monto ayɛyi dwom mma Awurade,
33 Who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:
monto mma deɛ ɔte tete soro soro so no, na ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobɔ mu no.
34 Give ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.
Mompae mu nka Onyankopɔn tumi, deɛ ne kɛseyɛ hata Israel so no, na ne tumi wɔ soro soro no.
35 God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God.
Wo ho yɛ nwanwa, Onyankopɔn, wɔwo kronkronbea hɔ; Israel Onyankopɔn de tumi ne ahoɔden ma ne nkurɔfoɔ. Ayɛyie nka Onyankopɔn!
