Psalms 68
1 To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.
Dawid dwom. Ma Onyankopɔn nsɔre, na nʼatamfoɔ mmɔ mpete; wɔn a wɔtane noɔ no nnwane mfiri nʼanim.
2 As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.
Sɛdeɛ mframa bɔ wisie gu no, saa ara na bɔ wɔn gu; sɛdeɛ sradeɛ nane wɔ ogya so no, saa ara na amumuyɛfoɔ nyera mfiri Onyankopɔn anim.
3 But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.
Nanso, ma ateneneefoɔ ani nnye na wɔnsɛpɛ wɔn ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; ma wɔn ho ntɔ wɔn na wɔnni ahurisie.
4 Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.
To dwom ma Onyankopɔn, to dwom yi ne din ayɛ. Ma deɛ ɔnante omununkum soɔ 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.
Nwisiaa agya ne deɛ ɔdi akunafoɔ asɛm ma wɔn ne Onyankopɔn a ɔte nʼatenaeɛ kronkron hɔ.
6 God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched [land].
Ɔma onnibie tena mmusua mu, na ɔde nnwontoɔ yi nneduafoɔ ma wɔde wɔn ho; na atuatefoɔ deɛ, wɔtena asase a awo so.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness (Selah)
Ao Onyankopɔn, ɛberɛ a wodii wo nkurɔfoɔ anim, ɛberɛ a wode wɔn faa ɛserɛ so no,
8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
asase wosoeɛ, na ɔsoro tuee osuo guu fam, wɔ Onyankopɔn, Sinai Onyankopɔn no, Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn no anim.
9 Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.
Womaa osuo tɔɔ bebree, Ao Onyankopɔn, guu wʼagyapadeɛ a abotoɔ no so ma ɛyɛɛ frɔmm.
10 Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!
Wo nkurɔfoɔ bɔɔ atenaseɛ wɔ so. Ao Onyankopɔn, wonam wʼadɔeɛ bebree no mu hwɛɛ ahiafoɔ.
11 The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.
Awurade kaa asɛm no, na dodoɔ no ara ne wɔn a wɔpaee mu kaeɛ;
12 Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
“Ahemfo ne wɔn asraafoɔ dwane ntɛm so; na mmaa kyɛ afodeɛ no.
13 Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, [ye shall be as] wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.
Mpo wɔn a wɔn daberɛ wɔ nnwankuo mu no, wɔnya afodeɛ no bi. Wɔnya aborɔnoma a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ne sika adura wɔn ntaban so.”
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.
Ɛberɛ a Otumfoɔ bɔɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase no so hweteeɛ no, na ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma a agu Salmon so.
15 [As] mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan.
Basan mmepɔ gyinagyina hɔ, Basan mmepɔ so yɛ mmɔnkyi mmɔnka.
16 Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] for ever.
Ao mmepɔ mmɔnkyi mmɔnka, adɛn enti na mode ani bɔne hwɛ bepɔ a Onyankopɔn ayi sɛ ɔbɛdi so ɔhene, baabi a Awurade ankasa bɛtena afebɔɔ?
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.
Onyankopɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ ɔpedu mpem mpem ne ɔpepem mpem mpem; Awurade firi Sinai aba ne kronkronbea.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even [for] the rebellious, for the dwelling [there] of Jah Elohim.
Ɛberɛ a woforo kɔɔ soro no, wode nnommumfoɔ kaa wo ho; wonyaa ayɛyɛdeɛ firii nnipa hɔ, firii atuatefoɔ hɔ mpo, sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wobɛtena hɔ, Ao Awurade Onyankopɔn.
19 Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Ayɛyie nka Awurade Onyankopɔn, yɛn Agyenkwa, deɛ ɔsoa yɛn nnesoa da biara no.
20 Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth [even] from death.
Yɛn Onyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔgye nkwa; na Awurade na ɔgye yɛn firi owuo mu.
21 Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.
Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn bɛyam nʼatamfoɔ ti, wɔn a wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne no.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depth of the sea;
Awurade ka sɛ, “Mede wɔn bɛfiri Basan aba; mede wɔn bɛfiri ɛpo bunu mu aba,
23 That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.
na moanante wɔn a wɔkyiri moɔ no mogya mu na mo nkraman tɛkrɛma anya wɔn kyɛfa.”
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
Ao Onyankopɔn, yɛahunu wo santen yuu no, me Onyankopɔn ne me Ɔhene santen yuu no a ɔde reba ne kronkronbea hɔ.
25 The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.
Nnwontofoɔ no wɔ animu, ɛnna asankubɔfoɔ no nso di so, na mmabaawa a wɔrewoso akasaeɛ nso ka wɔn ho.
26 In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord, — [ye] from the fountain of Israel.
Monkamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asafo kɛseɛ no mu; monkamfo Awurade wɔ Israel nipakuo no mu.
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
Abusuakuo ketewa Benyamin na ɔdi wɔn ɛkan, Yuda mmapɔmma kuo kɛseɛ 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, sɛdeɛ woayɛ pɛn no.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
Wʼasɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem enti ahemfo de ayɛyɛdeɛ bɛbrɛ wo.
30 Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: [every one] submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war.
Ka aboa a ɔhyɛ demmire mu no anim, ne anantwinini kuo a wɔhyɛ amanaman no anantwie mma mu no. Brɛ wɔn ase kɔsi sɛ wɔde dwetɛ mpɔ bɛba. Bɔ wɔn a wɔn ani gye ɔko ho no pansam.
31 Great ones shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall quickly stretch out her hands unto God.
Ananmusifoɔ bɛfiri Misraim aba, na Kus de ne ho bɛma Onyankopɔn.
32 Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing psalms of the Lord, (Selah)
Ao ewiase ahennie, monto dwom mma Onyankopɔn, monto ayɛyi dwom mma Awurade,
33 Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
monto mma deɛ ɔte tete soro soro so no, na ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobɔ mu no.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
Mompae mu nka Onyankopɔn tumi, deɛ ne kɛseyɛ hata Israel so no, na ne tumi wɔ soro soro no.
35 Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, — the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!
Wo ho yɛ nwanwa, Onyankopɔn, wɔwo kronkronbea hɔ; Israel Onyankopɔn de tumi ne ahoɔden ma ne nkurɔfoɔ. Ayɛyie nka Onyankopɔn! Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔto no sɛ “Sukooko.”
