Psalms 106
1 Praise the Lord! Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever.
Monkamfo Awurade! Monna Awurade ase na ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.
2 Who can give an account of all the wonderful things the Lord has done? Who can give him all the praise he is due?
Hwan na ɔbɛtumi aka nneɛma akɛseɛ a Awurade ayɛ? Anaasɛ ɔbɛtumi aka ne nkamfo awie?
3 Happy are those who treat people fairly, who always do what is right.
Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔkɔ so bu atɛntenenee, na daa wɔyɛ deɛ ɛyɛ.
4 Please remember me when you are generous to your people; think of me when you come to save.
Ao Awurade, sɛ wohunu wo nkurɔfoɔ mmɔbɔ a kae me. Sɛ wogye wɔn nkwa a, boa me,
5 Let me see your chosen people prosperous; let me be happy together with your nation; let me share in being proud of you with those who belong to you.
na manya wɔn a wapa wɔn no yiedie mu kyɛfa, na manya wo manfoɔ anigyeɛ no mu kyɛfa na me ne wʼagyapadeɛ no abɔ mu de nkamfo ama wo.
6 We have sinned just like our forefathers. We have done wrong. We are guilty.
Yɛayɛ bɔne sɛdeɛ yɛn nananom yɛeɛ no; yɛayɛ mfomsoɔ na yɛadi atirimuɔdensɛm.
7 They didn't pay attention to the wonderful things you did. They didn't keep in mind how much you loved them, but chose to rebel at the sea, the Red Sea.
Ɛberɛ a yɛn nananom wɔ Misraim no, wɔannwene wo nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ho; wɔankae wʼadɔeɛ bebrebe no, na wɔtee atua wɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no ho.
8 Even so he saved them because of the kind of person he is, and to show his power
Nanso, ne din enti ɔgyee wɔn nkwa, sɛdeɛ ɔbɛda ne tumi kɛseɛ no adi.
9 He gave his order to the Red Sea, and it dried up. He led his people across the seabed as if it were a desert.
Ɔteaa Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no ma ɛwee; ɔde wɔn faa abunu mu te sɛ ɛserɛ so.
10 He rescued them from those who hated them; he saved them from their enemies' power.
Ɔgyee wɔn firii ɔtamfoɔ no nsam; deɛ ɔtane wɔn nsam na ɔyii wɔn firiiɛ.
11 The water drowned their enemies—none of them survived,
Nsuo kataa wɔn atamfoɔ so; na ɔbaako mpo annya nkwa.
12 Then his people trusted in what he promised, and sang his praises.
Afei wɔgyee ne bɔhyɛ no diiɛ na wɔtoo nʼayɛyie dwom.
13 But they quickly forgot what he had done for them, and they didn't listen to his advice.
Nanso, ntɛm so, wɔn werɛ firii deɛ wayɛ na wɔantwɛn nʼagyinatuo.
14 They were filled with desperate cravings in the wilderness; they provoked God in the desert.
Akɔnnɔ bɛhyɛɛ wɔn mu wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ, na wɔ asase paradada no so, wɔsɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛeɛ,
15 He gave them what they wanted, but sent them a plague as well.
enti ɔmaa wɔn deɛ wɔbisaeɛ, nanso, ɔde ɔfɔn yadeɛ baa wɔn so.
16 In the camp the people became jealous of Moses, and of Aaron, the Lord's holy priest.
Na nsraban mu hɔ wɔn ani beree Mose ne Aaron a Awurade ate ne ho no.
17 The earth split open and swallowed up Dathan; it buried Abiram and his followers.
Asase mu buee na ɛmenee Datan na ɛsiee Abiram asafo no.
18 Fire broke out among them—a flame that burned them up.
Egya tɔɔ wɔn akyidifoɔ no mu; ogyaframa hyee amumuyɛfoɔ no.
19 At Mount Sinai they made a calf, they bowed down before a metal idol.
Wɔyɛɛ nantwie ba wɔ Horeb na wɔkotoo ohoni a wɔde fagudeɛ ayɛ.
20 They replaced their God of glory with a bull that eats grass!
Wɔsesaa wɔn Animuonyam. Wɔde nantwinini, a ɔwe ɛserɛ nsɛsodeɛ.
21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done marvelous things in Egypt;
Wɔn werɛ firii Onyankopɔn a ɔgyee wɔn nkwa, deɛ ɔyɛɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ wɔ Misraim no,
22 performing miracles in the land of Ham, doing amazing things at the Red Sea.
nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɔyɛɛ wɔ Ham asase so ne nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu wɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ ho no.
23 So he said he was going to destroy them But Moses, his chosen leader, placed himself between the Lord and the people to persuade the Lord not to destroy them in his anger.
Enti ɔkaa sɛ ɔbɛsɛe wɔn, nanso Mose a ɔyɛ deɛ wapa noɔ no sɔre gyinaa Onyankopɔn ne nnipa no ntam; ɔsrɛɛ no, dwodwoo nʼabufuo no ano sɛdeɛ ɔrensɛe wɔn.
24 Later the people refused to enter the Promised Land; they didn't trust him to do as he'd promised.
Afei, wɔn ani ansɔ asase fɛfɛ no; na wɔannye ne bɔhyɛ anni.
25 They complained in their tents about the Lord, and refused to obey what he told them.
Wɔnwiinwii wɔ wɔn ntomadan mu na wɔannyɛ ɔsetie amma Awurade.
26 So he raised his hand to give them a serious warning that he would bring them down in the wilderness,
Enti ɔmaa ne nsa so kaa ntam kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ ɔbɛma wɔn atotɔ wɔ ɛserɛ no so,
27 that he would disperse their descendants among the heathen nations, scattering them among countries far away.
ɔbɛma wɔn asefoɔ atotɔ wɔ amanaman mu na wabɔ wɔn ahwete nsase nyinaa so.
28 They gave their allegiance to Baal Peor, and ate food sacrificed to the dead.
Wɔde wɔn ho bɔɔ Baal-peor ho na wɔdii afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde ama anyame a wɔnni nkwa;
29 They provoked the Lord by what they did, making him angry, so a plague broke out among them.
wɔde wɔn atirimuɔdensɛm hyɛɛ Awurade abufuo na ɔyaredɔm sii wɔn mu.
30 But Phinehas took a stand for the Lord and intervened, and the plague was stopped in its tracks.
Na Pinehas sɔre dii agyinamu, na Awurade sii ɔyaredɔm no ano.
31 He has been considered as a man who lived right from that time on and for all generations.
Wɔde yei yɛɛ tenenee maa Pinehas wɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛnni awieeɛ a ɛbɛba no mu.
32 They also angered him at the waters of Meribah where things went badly for Moses because of them.
Meriba nsuo ho nso, wɔhyɛɛ Awurade abufuo, na wɔn enti, ɔhaw baa Mose so,
33 They upset him so much that he spoke without thinking in the heat of the moment.
ɛfiri sɛ wɔtee Onyankopɔn Honhom anim atua, na asɛm a wannwene ho firii Mose anomu.
34 They did not destroy the heathen peoples as the Lord had told them to do,
Wɔansɛe nnipa no sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no,
35 but instead they joined in with them and adopted their way of life.
nanso wɔde wɔn ho frafraa amanaman no yɛɛ nneɛma a wɔyɛ no bi.
36 They worshiped their pagan idols which became a trap for them.
Wɔsomm wɔn ahoni na ɛbɛyɛɛ afidie maa wɔn.
37 The even sacrificed their sons and daughters to these demons.
Wɔde wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa abosom.
38 They shed the blood of innocent children, their sons and daughters, sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan. By doing so they defiled the land with blood.
Wɔkaa mogya a ɛdi bem guiɛ; wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa mogya a wɔde bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Kanaan ahoni no maa asase no ho guu fi.
39 The also defiled themselves by what they did: their actions were spiritual adultery.
Wɔde deɛ wɔyɛeɛ no guu wɔn ankasa ho fi; wɔnam deɛ wɔyɛeɛ no so bɔɔ adwaman.
40 So the Lord was angry with his people—he loathed those who belonged to him.
Enti, Awurade bo fuu ne nkurɔfoɔ; na ɔkyirii nʼagyapadeɛ.
41 He handed them over to the heathen nations. These people who hated them now became their rulers.
Ɔdanee wɔn maa amanaman no, na wɔn atamfoɔ dii wɔn so.
42 Their enemies dominated and subdued them with their power.
Wɔn atamfoɔ hyɛɛ wɔn so na wɔkaa wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn tumi ase.
43 The Lord repeatedly rescued them, but they continued with their rebellious ideas, until they were finally destroyed by their own sins.
Mpɛn bebree, Awurade gyee wɔn, nanso wɔkɔɔ so tee atua na wɔsɛe wɔ wɔn bɔne mu.
44 Despite all this, the Lord was moved by their suffering; he heard their sad cries.
Nanso ɔhunuu wɔn ahohiahia ɛberɛ a wɔsu frɛɛ noɔ no;
45 He remembered the agreement he had made with them, and he held back because of his great kindness and love.
Wɔn enti, ɔkaee nʼapam no na ɔfirii nʼadɔeɛ kɛseɛ no mu hunuu wɔn mmɔbɔ.
46 He made the people who captured them treat them with mercy.
Ɔmaa sodifoɔ a wɔafa wɔn nnommum no nyaa ahummɔborɔ maa wɔn.
47 Save us, Lord, our God! Bring us back together from among the nations, so we can thank you and declare how magnificent and holy you are.
Gye yɛn, Ao Awurade yɛn nkwagyeɛ Onyankopɔn, na boaboa yɛn ano firi amanaman so, na yɛada wo din kronkron no ase, na yɛde nkamfo ahyɛ wo animuonyam.
48 How wonderful is the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives forever and ever! Let all the people say “Amen”! Praise the Lord!
Ayɛyie nka Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ɛmfiri mmerɛsanten nkɔsi nnasanten. Momma nnipa no nyinaa nka sɛ, “Amen!” Monkamfo Awurade.
