< Psalms 68 >
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme or song of David. God will arise, and his enemies shalbe scattered: they also that hate him, shall flee before him.
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Ma Onyankopɔn nsɔre, ma nʼatamfo nhwete; wɔn a wɔtan no no nguan mfi nʼanim.
2 As the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou driue them away: and as waxe melteth before the fire, so shall 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 But the righteous shalbe glad, and reioyce before God: yea, they shall leape for ioye.
Nanso ma atreneefo ani nnye na wɔnsɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; ma wɔn ho ntɔ wɔn na wonni ahurusi.
4 Sing vnto God, and sing prayses vnto his name: exalt him that rideth vpon the heauens, in his Name Iah, and reioyce before him.
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 He is a Father of the fatherlesse, and a Iudge of the widowes, euen God in his holy habitation.
Ayisaa agya ne nea odi akunafo asɛm ma wɔn ne Onyankopɔn a ɔte nʼatenae kronkron hɔ.
6 God maketh the solitarie to dwell in families, and deliuereth them that were prisoners in stocks: but the rebellious shall dwell in a dry land.
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 wentest forth before thy people: when thou wentest through the wildernesse, (Selah)
Onyankopɔn, bere a wudii wo nkurɔfo anim, bere a wode wɔn faa sare so no,
8 The earth shooke, and the heauens dropped at the presence of this God: euen Sinai was moued at the presence of God, euen the God of Israel.
asase wosowee, na ɔsoro tuee osu guu fam, wɔ Onyankopɔn, Sinai Nyankopɔn, Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn no anim.
9 Thou, O God, sendest a gracious raine vpon thine inheritance, and thou didest refresh it when it was wearie.
Womaa osu tɔɔ bebree, Ao, Onyankopɔn, guu wʼagyapade a abotow no so ma ɛyɛɛ frɔmfrɔm.
10 Thy Congregation dwelled therein: for thou, O God, hast of thy goodnesse prepared it for the poore.
Wo nkurɔfo bɔɔ atenase wɔ so, Onyankopɔn, wonam wʼadɔe bebree no so hwɛɛ ahiafo.
11 The Lord gaue matter to the women to tell of the great armie.
Awurade kaa asɛm no, na dodow no ara ne wɔn a wɔpaee mu kae;
12 Kings of the armies did flee: they did flee, and she that remained in the house, deuided the spoyle.
“Ahemfo ne wɔn asraafo guan ntɛm so; mmea a wɔwɔ fie no kyɛ asade.
13 Though ye haue lien among pots, yet shall ye be as the winges of a doue that is couered with siluer, and whose fethers are like yelowe golde.
Mpo bere a woda nguanban mu no, wɔde dwetɛ duraa mʼaborɔnoma ntaban ho, de sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛhyerɛn guu wɔn ntakra so.”
14 When the Almightie scattered Kings in it, it was white as the snowe in Zalmon.
Bere a Otumfo bɔɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase no so hwetee no, na ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma a agu Bepɔw Salmon so.
15 The mountaine of God is like the mountaine of Bashan: it is an high Mountaine, as mount Bashan.
Basan mmepɔw gyinagyina hɔ, Basan mmepɔw so yɛ abonkyiabonkyi.
16 Why leape ye, ye high mountaines? as for this Mountaine, God deliteth to dwell in it: yea, the Lord will dwell in it for euer.
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 charets of God are twentie thousande thousand Angels, and the Lord is among them, as in the Sanctuarie of Sinai.
Onyankopɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ mpem mpem ne mpem mpem mu mpem; Awurade fi Sinai aba ne kronkronbea.
18 Thou art gone vp on high: thou hast led captiuitie captiue, and receiued giftes for men: yea, euen the rebellious hast thou led, that the Lord God might dwell there.
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 Praysed be the Lord, euen the God of our saluation, which ladeth vs dayly with benefites. (Selah)
Ayeyi nka Awurade, nka Onyankopɔn yɛn Agyenkwa, nea ɔsoa yɛn nnesoa da biara no.
20 This is our God, euen the God that saueth vs: and to the Lord God belong the issues of death.
Yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn a ogye nkwa; na Awurade mu na owu tow fom yɛn.
21 Surely God will wound the head of his enemies, and the hearie pate of him that walketh in his sinnes.
Ampa ara Onyankopɔn bɛdwerɛw nʼatamfo ti, wɔn a wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne ti kusuu no.
22 The Lord hath sayde, I will bring my people againe from Bashan: I will bring them againe from the depths of the Sea:
Awurade ka se, “Mede wɔn befi Basan aba; mede wɔn befi po bun mu aba,
23 That thy foote may bee dipped in blood, and the tongue of thy dogges in the blood of the enemies, euen in it.
na moanantew wɔn a wokyi mo no mogya mu na mo akraman tɛkrɛma anya wɔn kyɛfa.”
24 They haue seene, O God, thy goings, the goings of my God, and my King, which art in the Sanctuarie.
Onyankopɔn, yɛahu wo santen yuu no, me Nyankopɔn ne me Hene santen yuu no a ɔde reba ne kronkronbea hɔ.
25 The singers went before, the players of instruments after: in the middes were the maides playing with timbrels.
Nnwontofo no wɔ anim, na asankubɔfo no nso di so, na mmabaa a wɔrewosow akasae nso ka wɔn ho.
26 Praise yee God in the assemblies, and the Lord, ye that are of the fountaine of Israel.
Monkamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asafo kɛse no mu; monkamfo Awurade wɔ Israel nnipakuw no mu.
27 There was litle Beniamin with their ruler, and the princes of Iudah with their assemblie, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
Abusuakuw ketewa, Benyamin na odi wɔn kan, Yuda mmapɔmma kuw kɛse no di so, na Sebulon ne Naftali mmapɔmma aba.
28 Thy God hath appointed thy strength: stablish, O God, that, which thou hast wrought in vs,
Kyerɛ wo tumi, Onyankopɔn; da wʼahoɔden adi kyerɛ yɛn, sɛnea woayɛ pɛn no.
29 Out of thy Temple vpon Ierusalem: and Kings shall bring presents vnto thee.
Wʼasɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nti ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ wo.
30 Destroy the company of the spearemen, and multitude of the mightie bulles with the calues of the people, that tread vnder feete pieces of siluer: scatter the people that delite in warre.
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 Then shall the princes come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall hast to stretche her hands vnto God.
Ananmusifo befi Misraim aba, na Kus de ne ho bɛma Onyankopɔn.
32 Sing vnto God, O yee kingdomes of the earth: sing praise vnto the Lord, (Selah)
Wiase ahemman, monto dwom mma Onyankopɔn, monto ayeyi nnwom mma Awurade,
33 To him that rideth vpon ye most high heauens, which were from the beginning: beholde, he will send out by his voice a mightie sound.
monto mma nea ɔte tete ɔsorosoro so no, na ɔde nne kɛse bobɔ mu no.
34 Ascribe the power to God: for his maiestie is vpon Israel, and his strength is in the cloudes.
Mompae mu nka Onyankopɔn tumi, nea ne kɛseyɛ kata Israel so no, na ne tumi wɔ soro ɔsoro no.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thine holie places: the God of Israel is hee that giueth strength and power vnto the people: praised be God.
Wo ho yɛ hu, Onyankopɔn, wɔ wo kronkronbea hɔ; Israel Nyankopɔn de tumi ne ahoɔden ma ne nkurɔfo. Ayeyi nka Onyankopɔn!
