Psalms 68
1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered. Let also those who 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 melts 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 exult before God. Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
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. Cast up a highway for him who rides through the deserts. His name is Jehovah, and exult ye 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 sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched 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 went forth before thy people, when thou marched through the wilderness (Selah)
Onyankopɔn, bere a wudii wo nkurɔfo anim, bere a wode wɔn faa sare so no,
8 the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, Sinai 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, sent a plentiful rain. Thou confirmed thine inheritance when it was weary.
Womaa osu tɔɔ bebree, Ao, Onyankopɔn, guu wʼagyapade a abotow no so ma ɛyɛɛ frɔmfrɔm.
10 Thy congregation dwelt in it. Thou, O God, prepared for the poor from thy goodness.
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 who published it.
Awurade kaa asɛm no, na dodow no ara ne wɔn a wɔpaee mu kae;
12 Kings of armies fled quickly, and she who remained at home divided the spoil.
“Ahemfo ne wɔn asraafo guan ntɛm so; mmea a wɔwɔ fie no kyɛ asade.
13 Though ye lie between two boundaries, it is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions 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 as it snows in Zalmon.
Bere a Otumfo bɔɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase no so hwetee no, na ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma a agu Bepɔw Salmon so.
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
Basan mmepɔw gyinagyina hɔ, Basan mmepɔw so yɛ abonkyiabonkyi.
16 Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God has desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it forever.
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 upon thousands. The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
Onyankopɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ mpem mpem ne mpem mpem mu mpem; Awurade fi Sinai aba ne kronkronbea.
18 Thou have ascended on high. Thou have led captivity captive. Thou have received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with 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 bears our burden daily, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Ayeyi nka Awurade, nka Onyankopɔn yɛn Agyenkwa, nea ɔsoa yɛn nnesoa da biara no.
20 God is to us a God of deliverances, and escape from death belongs to Jehovah the Lord.
Yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn a ogye nkwa; na Awurade mu na owu tow fom yɛn.
21 But God will smite through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him who still goes in his guiltiness.
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 again from the depths of the sea,
Awurade ka se, “Mede wɔn befi Basan aba; mede wɔn befi po bun mu aba,
23 that thou may dash thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from enemies.
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, into 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 minstrels followed after, in the midst of 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, the lord of the fountain of Israel.
Monkamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asafo kɛse no mu; monkamfo Awurade wɔ Israel nnipakuw no mu.
27 There is little Benjamin their ruler, the rulers of Judah and their council, the rulers of Zebulun, the rulers 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 has commanded thy strength. Strengthen, O God, that which thou have wrought for us.
Kyerɛ wo tumi, Onyankopɔn; da wʼahoɔden adi kyerɛ yɛn, sɛnea woayɛ pɛn no.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem kings shall bring presents to thee.
Wʼasɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nti ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ wo.
30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver. He has scattered the peoples 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 Rulers shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hasten to 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 who rides upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old. Lo, he utters his voice, 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 skies.
Mompae mu nka Onyankopɔn tumi, nea ne kɛseyɛ kata Israel so no, na ne tumi wɔ soro ɔsoro no.
35 O God, awesome out of thy holy places, the God of Israel, he gives 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!
