Psalms 68
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM. A SONG OF DAVID. God rises [and] His enemies are scattered! And those hating Him flee from His face.
Dawid dwom. Ma Onyankopɔn nsɔre, ma nʼatamfo nhwete; wɔn a wɔtan no no nguan mfi nʼanim.
2 You drive them away as the driving away of smoke, As the melting of wax before fire, 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 the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they rejoice with gladness.
Nanso ma atreneefo ani nnye na wɔnsɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; ma wɔn ho ntɔ wɔn na wonni ahurusi.
4 Sing to God—praise His Name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In YAH [is] His Name, and exult 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 Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God in His holy habitation.
Ayisaa agya ne nea odi akunafo asɛm ma wɔn ne Onyankopɔn a ɔte nʼatenae kronkron hɔ.
6 God—causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only—the stubborn have inhabited a dry place.
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, in Your going forth before Your people, In Your stepping through the wilderness, (Selah)
Onyankopɔn, bere a wudii wo nkurɔfo anim, bere a wode wɔn faa sare so no,
8 The earth has shaken, Indeed, the heavens have dropped before God, This Sinai—before God, the God of Israel.
asase wosowee, na ɔsoro tuee osu guu fam, wɔ Onyankopɔn, Sinai Nyankopɔn, Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn no anim.
9 You shake out a shower of free-will gifts, O God. Your inheritance, when it has been weary, You have established it.
Womaa osu tɔɔ bebree, Ao, Onyankopɔn, guu wʼagyapade a abotow no so ma ɛyɛɛ frɔmfrɔm.
10 Your creature has dwelt in it, You prepare for the poor in Your goodness, O God.
Wo nkurɔfo bɔɔ atenase wɔ so, Onyankopɔn, wonam wʼadɔe bebree no so hwɛɛ ahiafo.
11 The Lord gives the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.
Awurade kaa asɛm no, na dodow no ara ne wɔn a wɔpaee mu kae;
12 Kings of hosts utterly flee away, And a female inhabitant of the house apportions spoil.
“Ahemfo ne wɔn asraafo guan ntɛm so; mmea a wɔwɔ fie no kyɛ asade.
13 Though you lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
Mpo bere a woda nguanban mu no, wɔde dwetɛ duraa mʼaborɔnoma ntaban ho, de sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛhyerɛn guu wɔn ntakra so.”
14 When the Mighty spreads kings in it, it snows in Salmon.
Bere a Otumfo bɔɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase no so hwetee no, na ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma a agu Bepɔw Salmon so.
15 A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights [is] the hill of Bashan.
Basan mmepɔw gyinagyina hɔ, Basan mmepɔw so yɛ abonkyiabonkyi.
16 Why do you envy, O high hills, The hill God has desired for His seat? YHWH also dwells forever.
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 chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of changes, The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
Onyankopɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ mpem mpem ne mpem mpem mu mpem; Awurade fi Sinai aba ne kronkronbea.
18 You have ascended on high, You have taken captivity captive, You have taken gifts for men, That even the stubborn may rest, O YAH 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 [is] the Lord, day by day He lays on us. God Himself [is] our salvation. (Selah)
Ayeyi nka Awurade, nka Onyankopɔn yɛn Agyenkwa, nea ɔsoa yɛn nnesoa da biara no.
20 God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And YHWH Lord has the outgoings of death.
Yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn a ogye nkwa; na Awurade mu na owu tow fom yɛn.
21 Only—God strikes The head of His enemies, The hairy crown of a habitual walker in his guilt.
Ampa ara Onyankopɔn bɛdwerɛw nʼatamfo ti, wɔn a wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne ti kusuu no.
22 The Lord said: “From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.
Awurade ka se, “Mede wɔn befi Basan aba; mede wɔn befi po bun mu aba,
23 So that you dash your foot In the blood of enemies—the tongue of Your dogs.”
na moanantew wɔn a wokyi mo no mogya mu na mo akraman tɛkrɛma anya wɔn kyɛfa.”
24 They have seen Your goings, O God, Goings of my God, my king, in the sanctuary.
Onyankopɔn, yɛahu wo santen yuu no, me Nyankopɔn ne me Hene santen yuu no a ɔde reba ne kronkronbea hɔ.
25 Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on instruments, Virgins playing with timbrels in the midst.
Nnwontofo no wɔ anim, na asankubɔfo no nso di so, na mmabaa a wɔrewosow akasae nso ka wɔn ho.
26 In assemblies bless God, The Lord—from the fountain of Israel.
Monkamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asafo kɛse no mu; monkamfo Awurade wɔ Israel nnipakuw no mu.
27 There [is] little Benjamin, their ruler, Heads of Judah their defense, Heads of Zebulun—heads of Naphtali.
Abusuakuw ketewa, Benyamin na odi wɔn kan, Yuda mmapɔmma kuw kɛse no di so, na Sebulon ne Naftali mmapɔmma aba.
28 Your God has commanded your strength, Be strong, O God, You have worked this for us.
Kyerɛ wo tumi, Onyankopɔn; da wʼahoɔden adi kyerɛ yɛn, sɛnea woayɛ pɛn no.
29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem, Kings bring a present to You.
Wʼasɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nti ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ wo.
30 Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a herd of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, You scatter peoples delighting in conflicts.
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 Fat ones come out of Egypt, Cush causes her hands to run to God.
Ananmusifo befi Misraim aba, na Kus de ne ho bɛma Onyankopɔn.
32 Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, Praise the Lord! (Selah)
Wiase ahemman, monto dwom mma Onyankopɔn, monto ayeyi nnwom mma Awurade,
33 To Him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Behold, He gives with His voice a strong voice.
monto mma nea ɔte tete ɔsorosoro so no, na ɔde nne kɛse bobɔ mu no.
34 Ascribe strength to God, His excellence [is] over Israel, and His strength in the clouds.
Mompae mu nka Onyankopɔn tumi, nea ne kɛseyɛ kata Israel so no, na ne tumi wɔ soro ɔsoro no.
35 Fearful, O God, out of Your sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed [is] 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.”
