Psalms 68

1 Unto the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.

Dawid dwom. Ma Onyankopɔn nsɔre, ma nʼatamfo nhwete; wɔn a wɔtan no no nguan mfi nʼanim.

2 As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth 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 And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness.

Nanso ma atreneefo ani nnye na wɔnsɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; ma wɔn ho ntɔ wɔn na wonni ahurusi.

4 Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,

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 Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place:

Ayisaa agya ne nea odi akunafo asɛm ma wɔn ne Onyankopɔn a ɔte nʼatenae kronkron hɔ.

6 God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.

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 didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass through the desert:

Onyankopɔn, bere a wudii wo nkurɔfo anim, bere a wode wɔn faa sare so no,

8 The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.

asase wosowee, na ɔsoro tuee osu guu fam, wɔ Onyankopɔn, Sinai Nyankopɔn, Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn no anim.

9 Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.

Womaa osu tɔɔ bebree, Ao, Onyankopɔn, guu wʼagyapade a abotow no so ma ɛyɛɛ frɔmfrɔm.

10 In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.

Wo nkurɔfo bɔɔ atenase wɔ so, Onyankopɔn, wonam wʼadɔe bebree no so hwɛɛ ahiafo.

11 The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power.

Awurade kaa asɛm no, na dodow no ara ne wɔn a wɔpaee mu kae;

12 The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.

“Ahemfo ne wɔn asraafo guan ntɛm so; mmea a wɔwɔ fie no kyɛ asade.

13 If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.

Mpo bere a woda nguanban mu no, wɔde dwetɛ duraa mʼaborɔnoma ntaban ho, de sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛhyerɛn guu wɔn ntakra so.”

14 When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.

Bere a Otumfo bɔɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase no so hwetee no, na ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma a agu Bepɔw Salmon so.

15 The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain.

Basan mmepɔw gyinagyina hɔ, Basan mmepɔw so yɛ abonkyiabonkyi.

16 Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.

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 chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place.

Onyankopɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ mpem mpem ne mpem mpem mu mpem; Awurade fi Sinai aba ne kronkronbea.

18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God.

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 day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.

Ayeyi nka Awurade, nka Onyankopɔn yɛn Agyenkwa, nea ɔsoa yɛn nnesoa da biara no.

20 Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.

Yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn a ogye nkwa; na Awurade mu na owu tow fom yɛn.

21 But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.

Ampa ara Onyankopɔn bɛdwerɛw nʼatamfo ti, wɔn a wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne ti kusuu no.

22 The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea:

Awurade ka se, “Mede wɔn befi Basan aba; mede wɔn befi po bun mu aba,

23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.

na moanantew wɔn a wokyi mo no mogya mu na mo akraman tɛkrɛma anya wɔn kyɛfa.”

24 They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.

Onyankopɔn, yɛahu wo santen yuu no, me Nyankopɔn ne me Hene santen yuu no a ɔde reba ne kronkronbea hɔ.

25 Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.

Nnwontofo no wɔ anim, na asankubɔfo no nso di so, na mmabaa a wɔrewosow akasae nso ka wɔn ho.

26 In the churches bless ye God the Lord, from the fountains of Israel.

Monkamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asafo kɛse no mu; monkamfo Awurade wɔ Israel nnipakuw no mu.

27 There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.

Abusuakuw ketewa, Benyamin na odi wɔn kan, Yuda mmapɔmma kuw kɛse no di so, na Sebulon ne Naftali mmapɔmma aba.

28 Command thy strength, O God: confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.

Kyerɛ wo tumi, Onyankopɔn; da wʼahoɔden adi kyerɛ yɛn, sɛnea woayɛ pɛn no.

29 From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to thee.

Wʼasɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nti ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ wo.

30 Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars:

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 Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon 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: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye to God,

Wiase ahemman, monto dwom mma Onyankopɔn, monto ayeyi nnwom mma Awurade,

33 Who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:

monto mma nea ɔte tete ɔsorosoro so no, na ɔde nne kɛse bobɔ mu no.

34 Give ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.

Mompae mu nka Onyankopɔn tumi, nea ne kɛseyɛ kata Israel so no, na ne tumi wɔ soro ɔsoro no.

35 God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength 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! Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛ “Sukooko.”
