< Psalms 106 >
1 Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
Monkamfo Awurade! Monna Awurade ase na ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?
Hwan na ɔbɛtumi aka nneɛma akɛseɛ a Awurade ayɛ? Anaasɛ ɔbɛtumi aka ne nkamfo awie?
3 Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.
Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔkɔ so bu atɛntenenee, na daa wɔyɛ deɛ ɛyɛ.
4 Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,
Ao Awurade, sɛ wohunu wo nkurɔfoɔ mmɔbɔ a kae me. Sɛ wogye wɔn nkwa a, boa me,
5 That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance.
na manya wɔn a wapa wɔn no yiedie mu kyɛfa, na manya wo manfoɔ anigyeɛ no mu kyɛfa na me ne wʼagyapadeɛ no abɔ mu de nkamfo ama wo.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
Yɛayɛ bɔne sɛdeɛ yɛn nananom yɛeɛ no; yɛayɛ mfomsoɔ na yɛadi atirimuɔdensɛm.
7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Ɛberɛ a yɛn nananom wɔ Misraim no, wɔannwene wo nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ho; wɔankae wʼadɔeɛ bebrebe no, na wɔtee atua wɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no ho.
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.
Nanso, ne din enti ɔgyee wɔn nkwa, sɛdeɛ ɔbɛda ne tumi kɛseɛ no adi.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
Ɔteaa Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no ma ɛwee; ɔde wɔn faa abunu mu te sɛ ɛserɛ so.
10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Ɔgyee wɔn firii ɔtamfoɔ no nsam; deɛ ɔtane wɔn nsam na ɔyii wɔn firiiɛ.
11 And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.
Nsuo kataa wɔn atamfoɔ so; na ɔbaako mpo annya nkwa.
12 Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.
Afei wɔgyee ne bɔhyɛ no diiɛ na wɔtoo nʼayɛyie dwom.
13 They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,
Nanso, ntɛm so, wɔn werɛ firii deɛ wayɛ na wɔantwɛn nʼagyinatuo.
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.
Akɔnnɔ bɛhyɛɛ wɔn mu wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ, na wɔ asase paradada no so, wɔsɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛeɛ,
15 And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.
enti ɔmaa wɔn deɛ wɔbisaeɛ, nanso, ɔde ɔfɔn yadeɛ baa wɔn so.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, [And] Aaron the saint of Jehovah.
Na nsraban mu hɔ wɔn ani beree Mose ne Aaron a Awurade ate ne ho no.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.
Asase mu buee na ɛmenee Datan na ɛsiee Abiram asafo no.
18 And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.
Egya tɔɔ wɔn akyidifoɔ no mu; ogyaframa hyee amumuyɛfoɔ no.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.
Wɔyɛɛ nantwie ba wɔ Horeb na wɔkotoo ohoni a wɔde fagudeɛ ayɛ.
20 Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
Wɔsesaa wɔn Animuonyam. Wɔde nantwinini, a ɔwe ɛserɛ nsɛsodeɛ.
21 They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,
Wɔn werɛ firii Onyankopɔn a ɔgyee wɔn nkwa, deɛ ɔyɛɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ wɔ Misraim no,
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible things by the Red Sea.
nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɔyɛɛ wɔ Ham asase so ne nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu wɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ ho no.
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].
Enti ɔkaa sɛ ɔbɛsɛe wɔn, nanso Mose a ɔyɛ deɛ wapa noɔ no sɔre gyinaa Onyankopɔn ne nnipa no ntam; ɔsrɛɛ no, dwodwoo nʼabufuo no ano sɛdeɛ ɔrensɛe wɔn.
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,
Afei, wɔn ani ansɔ asase fɛfɛ no; na wɔannye ne bɔhyɛ anni.
25 But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.
Wɔnwiinwii wɔ wɔn ntomadan mu na wɔannyɛ ɔsetie amma Awurade.
26 Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
Enti ɔmaa ne nsa so kaa ntam kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ ɔbɛma wɔn atotɔ wɔ ɛserɛ no so,
27 And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
ɔbɛma wɔn asefoɔ atotɔ wɔ amanaman mu na wabɔ wɔn ahwete nsase nyinaa so.
28 They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Wɔde wɔn ho bɔɔ Baal-peor ho na wɔdii afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde ama anyame a wɔnni nkwa;
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.
wɔde wɔn atirimuɔdensɛm hyɛɛ Awurade abufuo na ɔyaredɔm sii wɔn mu.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.
Na Pinehas sɔre dii agyinamu, na Awurade sii ɔyaredɔm no ano.
31 And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.
Wɔde yei yɛɛ tenenee maa Pinehas wɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛnni awieeɛ a ɛbɛba no mu.
32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;
Meriba nsuo ho nso, wɔhyɛɛ Awurade abufuo, na wɔn enti, ɔhaw baa Mose so,
33 Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
ɛfiri sɛ wɔtee Onyankopɔn Honhom anim atua, na asɛm a wannwene ho firii Mose anomu.
34 They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,
Wɔansɛe nnipa no sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no,
35 But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,
nanso wɔde wɔn ho frafraa amanaman no yɛɛ nneɛma a wɔyɛ no bi.
36 And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.
Wɔsomm wɔn ahoni na ɛbɛyɛɛ afidie maa wɔn.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
Wɔde wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa abosom.
38 And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
Wɔkaa mogya a ɛdi bem guiɛ; wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa mogya a wɔde bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Kanaan ahoni no maa asase no ho guu fi.
39 Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.
Wɔde deɛ wɔyɛeɛ no guu wɔn ankasa ho fi; wɔnam deɛ wɔyɛeɛ no so bɔɔ adwaman.
40 Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.
Enti, Awurade bo fuu ne nkurɔfoɔ; na ɔkyirii nʼagyapadeɛ.
41 And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.
Ɔdanee wɔn maa amanaman no, na wɔn atamfoɔ dii wɔn so.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
Wɔn atamfoɔ hyɛɛ wɔn so na wɔkaa wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn tumi ase.
43 Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.
Mpɛn bebree, Awurade gyee wɔn, nanso wɔkɔɔ so tee atua na wɔsɛe wɔ wɔn bɔne mu.
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:
Nanso ɔhunuu wɔn ahohiahia ɛberɛ a wɔsu frɛɛ noɔ no;
45 And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
Wɔn enti, ɔkaee nʼapam no na ɔfirii nʼadɔeɛ kɛseɛ no mu hunuu wɔn mmɔbɔ.
46 He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.
Ɔmaa sodifoɔ a wɔafa wɔn nnommum no nyaa ahummɔborɔ maa wɔn.
47 Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.
Gye yɛn, Ao Awurade yɛn nkwagyeɛ Onyankopɔn, na boaboa yɛn ano firi amanaman so, na yɛada wo din kronkron no ase, na yɛde nkamfo ahyɛ wo animuonyam.
48 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.
Ayɛyie nka Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ɛmfiri mmerɛsanten nkɔsi nnasanten. Momma nnipa no nyinaa nka sɛ, “Amen!” Monkamfo Awurade.
