Psalms 105
1 Give the Lord thanks, worship his wonderful nature, let people know what he's done!
Ɛda Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma ewiase nyinaa nhunu deɛ wayɛ.
2 Sing to him, sing his praises; tell everyone the great things he's done!
Monto dwom mma no, monto ayɛyie dwom mma no; monka nʼanwanwadeɛ no nyinaa.
3 Be proud of his holy character; be happy, all who come to the Lord!
Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya akoma mu anigyeɛ.
4 Look for the Lord, and his strength; always look to be in his presence.
Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim ɛberɛ biara.
5 Remember all the wonderful things he's done, the miracles he's performed, and the judgments he's carried out,
Monkae anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, ne atemmuo a ɔbuiɛ,
6 descendants of Abraham, children of Israel, his chosen people.
Ao Abraham mma, Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, Ao Yakob mma a wapa wɔn.
7 He is the Lord, our God, his judgments cover the whole earth.
Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn. Nʼahennie da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
8 He remembers his agreement forever, the promise he made lasts for a thousand generations;
Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ apem no,
9 the agreement he made with Abraham, the vow he gave to Isaac.
apam a ɔne Abraham yɛeɛ no ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak no.
10 The Lord legally confirmed it with Jacob, he made this binding agreement with Israel:
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 for you to possess.”
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”
12 He said this when they were only a few, just a small group of foreigners in the land.
Ɔkaa yei ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
13 They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to the next.
Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so; firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
14 He didn't let anyone one treat them badly; warning kings to leave them alone:
Wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ:
15 “Don't touch my chosen people; don't harm my prophets!”
“Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo; na monnyɛ mʼadiyifoɔ bɔne bi.”
16 He caused a famine in the Land of Canaan so that there was no food.
Ɔmaa ɛkɔm baa asase no so na ɔsɛee akwan a wɔfa so nya wɔn aduane nyinaa;
17 Before that he sent a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
na ɔsomaa ɔbarima bi dii wɔn anim, Yosef a wɔtɔn no sɛ akoa no.
18 They hurt his feet by placing them in shackles, and they put an iron collar around his neck,
Wɔde mpokyerɛ guu ne nan, na wɔde dadeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn hyɛɛ ne kɔn,
19 until the time predicted came when the Lord tested 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 for him and released him; the king of the people set him free.
Afei, ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔgyaa no; aman no sodifoɔ gyaa no.
21 He put Joseph in charge of the royal household, manager of everything he had,
Ɔyɛɛ no ne fiefoɔ so wura, deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa sodifoɔ,
22 to teach the king's officials whatever he wanted, to make the king's advisors wise.
sɛ ɔnkyerɛ ne mmapɔmma deɛ ɔpɛ na ɔnkyerɛ ne mpanimfoɔ nyansa.
23 Then Israel entered Egypt—Jacob settled as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
Afei, Israel kɔɔ Misraim; Yakob kɔtenaa Ham asase so sɛ ɔnanani.
24 The Lord made his people more fertile and more powerful than their enemies.
Awurade maa ne nkurɔfoɔ ase dɔreeɛ; ɔyɛɛ wɔn bebree dodo maa wɔn atamfoɔ,
25 He made the Egyptians change their minds and hate his people and act deceptively towards them.
wɔn a ɔdanee wɔn akoma sɛ wɔntane ne nkurɔfoɔ na wɔmpam nʼasomfoɔ tiri so.
26 He sent his servant Moses, together with Aaron, whom he had chosen.
Ɔsomaa ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose, ne Aaron a na wayi noɔ no.
27 They carried out his miraculous signs among the Egyptians, his wonders in the land of Ham.
Wɔyɛɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nwanwasoɔ wɔ wɔn mu, nʼanwanwadeɛ wɔ Ham asase so.
28 He plunged the country into darkness—for hadn't they defied what the Lord had said?
Ɔsomaa esum, na ɔmaa asase duruu sum ɛfiri sɛ na wɔate nʼasɛm no so atua.
29 He turned their water into blood, killing all the fish.
Ɔmaa wɔn nsuo nyinaa danee mogya, nam so kumm emu mpataa.
30 Then he sent a plague of frogs across the land that even entered the bedrooms of their rulers.
Mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛɛ asase no so ma, na wɔhyɛnee ɔman no sodifoɔ mpia mu.
31 He gave the command, and flies spread throughout their land; mosquitoes were everywhere.
Ɔkasaeɛ, na nwansena bebree ne ntontom baa ɔman no mu baabiara.
32 He rained down hail on them, and lightning flashed across their land.
Ɔmaa wɔn osutɔ danee ampariboɔ a anyinam nenam mu wɔ ɔman no nyinaa mu;
33 He struck down their grape vines, and tore down their trees.
Ɔsɛee wɔn bobe ne borɔdɔma nnua na ɔbubuu ɔman no so nnua pasaa.
34 He gave the command, and swarms of locusts came—countless locusts:
Ɔkasaeɛ, na ntutummɛ baeɛ mmɛbɛ a wɔntumi nkan wɔn;
35 they ate up all the vegetation in their land; they consumed all the growing crops.
wɔwee nhahammono biara a ɛwɔ wɔn asase no so, na wɔdii wɔn mfuo so nnuane.
36 He killed all the firstborn in Egypt, the first to be produced in their vigor and strength.
Afei ɔkunkumm wɔn asase so mmakan nyinaa, wɔn mmarimayɛ mu aba a ɛdi ɛkan nyinaa.
37 Then he led his people out of Egypt, carrying silver and gold—not one among the tribes was stumbling along.
Ɔyii Israelfoɔ, a wɔso dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, firii wɔn mmusuakuo mu a obiara ho antɔ kyima.
38 The Egyptians were delighted to see them go, for they were frightened of the Israelites.
Misraim ani gyeeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔkɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na Israelfoɔ ho hu atɔ wɔn so.
39 He spread a cloud above them as a covering, and at night a fire to give them light.
Ɔtrɛɛ omununkum mu kataa wɔn so, na ɔde ogya maa wɔn, sɛ ɛnyɛ hann anadwo.
40 He gave them quails to eat when they asked him; he fed them with the bread of heaven until they were full.
Wɔbisaeɛ, na ɔbrɛɛ wɔn mmoko. Ɔmaa ɔsoro aduane mee wɔn.
41 He split the rock open, and water gushed out—a river flowing through the desert.
Ɔbuee ɔbotan mu maa nsuo firii mu baeɛ; na ɛtenee wɔ ɛserɛ no so sɛ asubɔnten.
42 For he remembered his holy promise to his servant Abraham.
Ɔkaee ne bɔhyɛ kronkron bi a ɔhyɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Abraham no.
43 So he led his people out, his chosen ones, as they sang for joy.
Ɔyii ne nkurɔfoɔ maa wɔn ani gyeeɛ. Wɔn a wapa wɔn no dii ahurisie;
44 He gave them the lands of the heathen nations, and they inherited what other people had worked for.
ɔde amanaman no nsase maa wɔn, na deɛ ebinom abrɛ anya no bɛyɛɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ
45 The Lord did this so they could follow his instructions and keep his laws. Praise the Lord!
na wɔahwɛ nʼahyɛdeɛ adi ne mmara so. Monyi Awurade ayɛ.
