Psalms 68
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Ma Onyankopɔn nsɔre, ma nʼatamfo nhwete; wɔn a wɔtan no no nguan mfi nʼanim.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Sɛnea mframa bɔ wusiw gu no, saa ara na bɔ wɔn gu; sɛnea srade nan wɔ ogya so no, saa ara na amumɔyɛfo nyera mfi Onyankopɔn anim.
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Nanso ma atreneefo ani nnye na wɔnsɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; ma wɔn ho ntɔ wɔn na wonni ahurusi.
4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
To dwom ma Onyankopɔn, to dwom yi ne din ayɛ. Ma nea ɔnantew omununkum so no din so. Ne din ne Awurade; ma wʼani nnye wɔ nʼanim.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
Ayisaa agya ne nea odi akunafo asɛm ma wɔn ne Onyankopɔn a ɔte nʼatenae kronkron hɔ.
6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those who are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
Ɔma ohiani tena mmusua mu, na ɔde nnwonto yi nneduafo ma wɔde wɔn ho; na atuatewfo de, wɔtena asase a awo so.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
Onyankopɔn, bere a wudii wo nkurɔfo anim, bere a wode wɔn faa sare so no,
8 The earth shook, the heavens also rained at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
asase wosowee, na ɔsoro tuee osu guu fam, wɔ Onyankopɔn, Sinai Nyankopɔn, Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn no anim.
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou didst confirm thy inheritance, when it was weary.
Womaa osu tɔɔ bebree, Ao, Onyankopɔn, guu wʼagyapade a abotow no so ma ɛyɛɛ frɔmfrɔm.
10 Thy congregation hath dwelt in it: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
Wo nkurɔfo bɔɔ atenase wɔ so, Onyankopɔn, wonam wʼadɔe bebree no so hwɛɛ ahiafo.
11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that proclaimed it.
Awurade kaa asɛm no, na dodow no ara ne wɔn a wɔpaee mu kae;
12 Kings of armies fled apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
“Ahemfo ne wɔn asraafo guan ntɛm so; mmea a wɔwɔ fie no kyɛ asade.
13 Though ye lie among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
Mpo bere a woda nguanban mu no, wɔde dwetɛ duraa mʼaborɔnoma ntaban ho, de sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛhyerɛn guu wɔn ntakra so.”
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
Bere a Otumfo bɔɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase no so hwetee no, na ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma a agu Bepɔw Salmon so.
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
Basan mmepɔw gyinagyina hɔ, Basan mmepɔw so yɛ abonkyiabonkyi.
16 Why leap ye, ye lofty hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
Wo bepɔw abonkyiabonkyi, adɛn nti na wode ani bɔne hwɛ bepɔw a Onyankopɔn ayi sɛ obedi so hene, faako a Awurade ankasa bɛtena afebɔɔ?
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
Onyankopɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ mpem mpem ne mpem mpem mu mpem; Awurade fi Sinai aba ne kronkronbea.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
Bere a woforo kɔɔ soro no, wode nnommum kaa wo ho; wunyaa ayɛyɛde fii nnipa hɔ, fii atuatewfo hɔ mpo, sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wobɛtena hɔ, Awurade Nyankopɔn.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (Selah)
Ayeyi nka Awurade, nka Onyankopɔn yɛn Agyenkwa, nea ɔsoa yɛn nnesoa da biara no.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and to GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
Yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn a ogye nkwa; na Awurade mu na owu tow fom yɛn.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
Ampa ara Onyankopɔn bɛdwerɛw nʼatamfo ti, wɔn a wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne ti kusuu no.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
Awurade ka se, “Mede wɔn befi Basan aba; mede wɔn befi po bun mu aba,
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
na moanantew wɔn a wokyi mo no mogya mu na mo akraman tɛkrɛma anya wɔn kyɛfa.”
24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
Onyankopɔn, yɛahu wo santen yuu no, me Nyankopɔn ne me Hene santen yuu no a ɔde reba ne kronkronbea hɔ.
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
Nnwontofo no wɔ anim, na asankubɔfo no nso di so, na mmabaa a wɔrewosow akasae nso ka wɔn ho.
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
Monkamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asafo kɛse no mu; monkamfo Awurade wɔ Israel nnipakuw no mu.
27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their counsel, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
Abusuakuw ketewa, Benyamin na odi wɔn kan, Yuda mmapɔmma kuw kɛse no di so, na Sebulon ne Naftali mmapɔmma aba.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Kyerɛ wo tumi, Onyankopɔn; da wʼahoɔden adi kyerɛ yɛn, sɛnea woayɛ pɛn no.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to thee.
Wʼasɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nti ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ wo.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one shall submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
Ka aboa a ɔhyɛ mfea mu no anim, ne anantwinini kuw a wɔhyɛ amanaman no nantwimma mu no. Brɛ wɔn ase kosi sɛ wɔde dwetɛ mpɔw bɛba. Bɔ wɔn a wɔn ani gye ɔko ho no pansam.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Cush shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
Ananmusifo befi Misraim aba, na Kus de ne ho bɛma Onyankopɔn.
32 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises to the Lord; (Selah)
Wiase ahemman, monto dwom mma Onyankopɔn, monto ayeyi nnwom mma Awurade,
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
monto mma nea ɔte tete ɔsorosoro so no, na ɔde nne kɛse bobɔ mu no.
34 Ascribe ye strength to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
Mompae mu nka Onyankopɔn tumi, nea ne kɛseyɛ kata Israel so no, na ne tumi wɔ soro ɔsoro no.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
Wo ho yɛ hu, Onyankopɔn, wɔ wo kronkronbea hɔ; Israel Nyankopɔn de tumi ne ahoɔden ma ne nkurɔfo. Ayeyi nka Onyankopɔn!
