Psalms 105
1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Announce his works among the nations.
Ɛda Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma ewiase nyinaa nhunu deɛ wayɛ.
2 Sing to him, and sing psalms to him. Describe all his wonders.
Monto dwom mma no, monto ayɛyie dwom mma no; monka nʼanwanwadeɛ no nyinaa.
3 Be praised in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya akoma mu anigyeɛ.
4 Seek the Lord, and be confirmed. Seek his face always.
Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim ɛberɛ biara.
5 Remember his miracles, which he has done, his portents and the judgments of his mouth:
Monkae anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, ne atemmuo a ɔbuiɛ,
6 you offspring of Abraham his servant, you sons of Jacob his elect.
Ao Abraham mma, Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, Ao Yakob mma a wapa wɔn.
7 He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout the entire earth.
Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn. Nʼahennie da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
8 He has remembered his covenant for all ages: the word that he entrusted to a thousand generations,
Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ apem no,
9 which he assigned to Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
apam a ɔne Abraham yɛeɛ no ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak no.
10 And he stationed the same for Jacob with a precept, and for Israel with an eternal testament,
Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ.
11 saying: To you, I will give the land of Canaan, the allotment of your inheritance.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”
12 Though they may have been but a small number, very few and foreigners there,
Ɔkaa yei ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
13 and though they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so; firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
14 he allowed no man to harm them, and he reproved kings on their behalf.
Wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ:
15 Do not be willing to touch my Christ, and do not be willing to malign my prophets.
“Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo; na monnyɛ mʼadiyifoɔ bɔne bi.”
16 And he called a famine upon the land, and he crushed every foundation of the bread.
Ɔmaa ɛkɔm baa asase no so na ɔsɛee akwan a wɔfa so nya wɔn aduane nyinaa;
17 He sent a man before them: Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.
na ɔsomaa ɔbarima bi dii wɔn anim, Yosef a wɔtɔn no sɛ akoa no.
18 They humbled his feet in shackles; the iron pierced his soul,
Wɔde mpokyerɛ guu ne nan, na wɔde dadeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn hyɛɛ ne kɔn,
19 until his word arrived. The eloquence of the Lord inflamed him.
kɔsii sɛ deɛ ɔhyɛɛ ho nkɔm no baa mu, kɔsii sɛ Awurade asɛm no daa no adi sɛ ɔyɛ nokwafoɔ.
20 The king sent and released him; he was the ruler of the people, and he dismissed him.
Afei, ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔgyaa no; aman no sodifoɔ gyaa no.
21 He established him as master of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
Ɔyɛɛ no ne fiefoɔ so wura, deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa sodifoɔ,
22 so that he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his elders prudence.
sɛ ɔnkyerɛ ne mmapɔmma deɛ ɔpɛ na ɔnkyerɛ ne mpanimfoɔ nyansa.
23 And Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.
Afei, Israel kɔɔ Misraim; Yakob kɔtenaa Ham asase so sɛ ɔnanani.
24 And he helped his people greatly, and he strengthened them over their enemies.
Awurade maa ne nkurɔfoɔ ase dɔreeɛ; ɔyɛɛ wɔn bebree dodo maa wɔn atamfoɔ,
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
wɔn a ɔdanee wɔn akoma sɛ wɔntane ne nkurɔfoɔ na wɔmpam nʼasomfoɔ tiri so.
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the one whom he chose.
Ɔsomaa ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose, ne Aaron a na wayi noɔ no.
27 He placed with them signs of his word, and portents in the land of Ham.
Wɔyɛɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nwanwasoɔ wɔ wɔn mu, nʼanwanwadeɛ wɔ Ham asase so.
28 He sent darkness and made it conceal, and he did not afflict them with his speech.
Ɔsomaa esum, na ɔmaa asase duruu sum ɛfiri sɛ na wɔate nʼasɛm no so atua.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and he slaughtered their fish.
Ɔmaa wɔn nsuo nyinaa danee mogya, nam so kumm emu mpataa.
30 Their land brought forth frogs, even in the inner chambers of their kings.
Mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛɛ asase no so ma, na wɔhyɛnee ɔman no sodifoɔ mpia mu.
31 He spoke, and there came forth common flies and gnats, in every region.
Ɔkasaeɛ, na nwansena bebree ne ntontom baa ɔman no mu baabiara.
32 He gave them a shower of hail and a burning fire, in the same land.
Ɔmaa wɔn osutɔ danee ampariboɔ a anyinam nenam mu wɔ ɔman no nyinaa mu;
33 And he struck their vineyards and their fig trees, and he crushed the trees of their region.
Ɔsɛee wɔn bobe ne borɔdɔma nnua na ɔbubuu ɔman no so nnua pasaa.
34 He spoke, and the locust came forth, and the caterpillar, of which there was no number.
Ɔkasaeɛ, na ntutummɛ baeɛ mmɛbɛ a wɔntumi nkan wɔn;
35 And it devoured all the grass in their land, and it consumed all the fruit of their land.
wɔwee nhahammono biara a ɛwɔ wɔn asase no so, na wɔdii wɔn mfuo so nnuane.
36 And he struck all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their labor.
Afei ɔkunkumm wɔn asase so mmakan nyinaa, wɔn mmarimayɛ mu aba a ɛdi ɛkan nyinaa.
37 And he led them out with silver and gold, and there was not an infirm one among their tribes.
Ɔyii Israelfoɔ, a wɔso dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, firii wɔn mmusuakuo mu a obiara ho antɔ kyima.
38 Egypt was joyful at their departure, for the fear of them lay heavy upon them.
Misraim ani gyeeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔkɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na Israelfoɔ ho hu atɔ wɔn so.
39 He spread a cloud for their protection, and a fire, to give them light through the night.
Ɔtrɛɛ omununkum mu kataa wɔn so, na ɔde ogya maa wɔn, sɛ ɛnyɛ hann anadwo.
40 They petitioned, and the quail came; and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Wɔbisaeɛ, na ɔbrɛɛ wɔn mmoko. Ɔmaa ɔsoro aduane mee wɔn.
41 He ruptured the rock and the waters flowed: rivers gushed in the dry land.
Ɔbuee ɔbotan mu maa nsuo firii mu baeɛ; na ɛtenee wɔ ɛserɛ no so sɛ asubɔnten.
42 For he had called to mind his holy word, which he kept near to his servant Abraham.
Ɔkaee ne bɔhyɛ kronkron bi a ɔhyɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Abraham no.
43 And he led forth his people in exultation, and his elect in rejoicing.
Ɔyii ne nkurɔfoɔ maa wɔn ani gyeeɛ. Wɔn a wapa wɔn no dii ahurisie;
44 And he gave them the regions of the Gentiles, and they possessed the labors of the peoples,
ɔde amanaman no nsase maa wɔn, na deɛ ebinom abrɛ anya no bɛyɛɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ
45 so that they might observe his justifications, and inquire about his law.
na wɔahwɛ nʼahyɛdeɛ adi ne mmara so. Monyi Awurade ayɛ.
