< Psalms 107 >

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
Monna Awurade ase na ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
Momma wɔn a Awurade agye wɔn nka saa, wɔn a wagye wɔn afiri ɔtamfoɔ nsam no,
3 and gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
wɔn a ɔboaboaa wɔn ano firii nsase soɔ no, ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ, atifi kɔsi anafoɔ.
4 Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no path to a city in which to dwell.
Ebinom kyinkyinii wɔ nsase paradada so, a wɔanhunu ɛkwan ankɔ kuropɔn no mu, baabi a wɔbɛtumi anya atenaeɛ.
5 They were hungry and thirsty; their soul fainted within them.
Ɛkɔm ne sukɔm dee wɔn na wɔtotɔɔ baha.
6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.
Afei wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
7 He led them on a straight path to reach a city where they could live.
Ɔde wɔn faa ɛkwan tee so baa kuropɔn a wɔtumi tena mu no mu.
8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
Momma wɔnna Awurade ase, nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da ho ne nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ ma nnipa.
9 For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Ɔma wɔn a sukɔm de wɔn nsuo na ɔde nnepa hyɛ wɔn a ɛkɔm de wɔn ma.
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and chains,
Ebinom tenaa esum ne awerɛhoɔ mu, nneduafoɔ a wɔde dadeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn agu wɔn,
11 because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
ɛfiri sɛ, wɔtee Onyankopɔn nsɛm ho atua na wɔbuu Ɔsorosoroni no agyinatuo animtiaa.
12 He humbled their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
Enti ɔgyaa wɔn maa adwuma den; wɔsuntisuntiiɛ na wɔannya ɔboafoɔ.
13 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke away their chains.
Ɔyii wɔn firii esum ne awerɛhoɔ mu na ɔbubuu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mu.
15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
Momma wɔnna Awurade ase, nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da ho ne nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ ma nnipa.
16 For He has broken down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
Ɔbubu kɔbere mfrafraeɛ apono na ɔtwitwa nnadeban mu.
17 Fools, in their rebellious ways, and through their iniquities, suffered affliction.
Ebinom bɛyɛɛ nkwaseafoɔ, wɔn atuateɛ enti na wɔhunuu amane, wɔn nnebɔne enti.
18 They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.
Wɔkyirii aduane nyinaa na wɔtwe bɛnee owuo ɛpono ano.
19 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade, wɔn amanehunu mu na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
20 He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.
Ɔsomaa nʼasɛm na ɔsaa wɔn yadeɛ; na ɔgyee wɔn firii ɛda mu.
21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
Momma wɔnna Awurade ase, nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da ho ne nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ ma nnipa.
22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing.
Momma wɔmmɔ aseda afɔdeɛ na wɔmfa ahurisie nnwom nka ne nnwuma ho asɛm.
23 Others went out to sea in ships, conducting trade on the mighty waters.
Ebinom tenaa ahyɛn mu wɔ ɛpo so; wɔyɛ adwadifoɔ wɔ nsuo akɛseɛ so.
24 They saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.
Wɔhunuu Awurade nnwuma, nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɛwɔ ebunu mu.
25 For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.
Ɔkasaeɛ maa ahum tui na ɛkukuruu asorɔkye.
26 They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths; their courage melted in their anguish.
Wɔpagya kɔɔ sorosoro na wɔsiane kɔɔ ebunu mu tɔnn; wɔn amanehunu mu no wɔn bo tui.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless.
Wɔkyim totɔɔ ntintan sɛ asabofoɔ; na wɔnhunu deɛ wɔnnyɛ bio.
28 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress.
Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade, wɔn amanehunu mu, na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
29 He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
Ɔmaa ahum no yɛɛ dinn; ɛpo so asorɔkye ano brɛɛ ase.
30 They rejoiced in the silence, and He guided them to the harbor they desired.
Wɔn ani gyeeɛ ɛberɛ a ɛyɛɛ dinn no, na ɔkyerɛɛ wɔn ɛkwan de wɔn kɔduruu gyinabea a wɔpɛ.
31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
Momma wɔnna Awurade ase, nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da ho ne nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ ma nnipa.
32 Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people and praise Him in the council of the elders.
Wɔmma ne so wɔ asafo no mu na wɔnkamfo no wɔ mpanimfoɔ nhyiamu ase.
33 He turns rivers into deserts, springs of water into thirsty ground,
Ɔdanee nsubɔntene maa no yɛɛ ɛserɛ, asutene yɛɛ asase wesee,
34 and fruitful land into fields of salt, because of the wickedness of its dwellers.
na asasebereɛ danee nkyenenkyene, wɔn a wɔte asase no so amumuyɛ enti.
35 He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.
Ɔdanee ɛserɛ so maa no yɛɛ nsuwansuwa na nkyɛkyerɛ yɛɛ sɛ asutene ananmu;
36 He causes the hungry to settle there, that they may establish a city in which to dwell.
Ɛhɔ na ɔde wɔn a ɛkɔm de wɔn kɔsoɛe, na wɔkyekyeree kuropɔn tenaa mu.
37 They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.
Wɔyɛɛ mfuo ne bobe nturo na ɛmaa wɔn nnɔbaeɛ bebree.
38 He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.
Ɔhyiraa wɔn na wɔn ase dɔreeɛ. Wamma wɔn ayɛmmoa dodoɔ so anhwan.
39 When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,
Afei wɔn dodoɔ so hwaneeɛ na nhyɛsoɔ, amanehunu ne awerɛhoɔ brɛɛ wɔn ase;
40 He pours out contempt on the nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
deɛ ɔbu aberempɔn animtiaa no ma wɔkyinkyinii asase bonini a ɛkwan nni hɔ so.
41 But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.
Nanso, ɔpagyaa ahiafoɔ firii wɔn ahohia mu na ɔmaa wɔn mmusua dɔree sɛ nnwankuo.
42 The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.
Ateneneefoɔ bɛhunu ama wɔn ani gye, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ nyinaa bɛmua wɔn ano.
43 Let him who is wise pay heed to these things and consider the loving devotion of the LORD.
Momma deɛ ɔyɛ onyansafoɔ no mmu yeinom, na ɔnnwene Awurade adɔeɛ kɛseɛ no ho.
