Psalms 104
1 Bless YHWH, my soul. YHWH, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade! Ao Awurade me Onyankopɔn, woyɛ ɔkɛseɛ! Wɔafira tumi ne animuonyam.
2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
Ɔde hann akata ne ho sɛ atadeɛ; ɔtrɛ ɔsoro mu te sɛ ntomadan,
3 He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
na ɔde ne mpia mpunan sisi nsuo so. Ɔde omununkum yɛ ne teaseɛnam na ɔde nante mframa ntaban so.
4 He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire.
Ɔsoma nʼabɔfoɔ sɛ mframa, na ɔsoma nʼasomfoɔ sɛ ogyadɛreɛ.
5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever and ever.
Ɔde asase asi ne fapem so na ɛrenhinhim da.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
Wode ebunu kataa so sɛ atadeɛ na nsuo gyinaa mmepɔ no so.
7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
Nanso wʼanimka maa nsuo no dwaneeɛ, wʼaprannaa nnyegyeeɛ ma wɔdwaneeɛ;
8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
Wɔtenetenee faa mmepɔ so, kɔɔ mmɔnhwa mu tɔnn, kɔguu baabi a wode ama wɔn no.
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they do not turn again to cover the earth.
Wotoo ɔhyeɛ a wɔrentumi ntra; na wɔammɛkata asase so bio.
10 He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
Ɔma nsuwa tene fa abɔn mu; ɛtene fa mmepɔ ntam.
11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
Ɔma wiram mmoa nyinaa nsuo nom; ɔma afunumu nsuo de kum wɔn sukɔm.
12 The birds of the sky nest by them; among the branches they give forth a sound.
Ewiem nnomaa nwene wɔn pirebuo wɔ nsuo no ho; na wɔto nnwom wɔ nnua no mman so.
13 He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
Ɔfiri ne soro mpia mu tɔ nsuo gugu mmepɔ so; Awurade nnwuma so aba mee asase.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:
Ɔma ɛserɛ fifiri ma anantwie, na ɔbɔɔ nnua maa onipa sɛ ɔnnua na ɛmma aduane mfiri asase mu:
15 wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
na onipa anya nsã ama nʼakoma atɔ ne yam, na onipa anya ngo ama nʼanim atɔ so, na aduane nso akura onipa akoma.
16 YHWH's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
Wɔgugu Awurade nnua no so yie, Lebanon ntweneduro a ɔduaeɛ no.
17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.
Ɛso na nnomaa yɛ wɔn mpirebuo na asukɔnkɔn nso yɛ nʼatenaeɛ wɔ pepeaa nnua no mu.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
Mmepɔ atentene no yɛ wiram mpɔnkye dea; na abotan yɛ dwanekɔbea ma amoakua.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
Ɔsrane kyerɛ ɛberɛ nkyekyɛmu, na owia nim ɛberɛ a ɔkɔtɔ.
20 You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
Wode esum ba ma ɛyɛ adesaeɛ na kwaeɛ mu mmoa nyinaa kɔ ahayɔ.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
Gyata bobom pɛ wɔn ahaboa wɔhwehwɛ wɔn aduane firi Onyankopɔn hɔ.
22 The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.
Owia pue ma wɔsane wɔn akyi; wɔsane kɔdeda wɔn atuo mu.
23 Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.
Afei, onipa kɔ nʼadwuma so kɔyɛ adwuma ara kɔsi anwummerɛ.
24 YHWH, how many are your works. In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
Ao Awurade, wo nnwuma dɔɔso! Nyansa mu na woyɛɛ ne nyinaa; wʼabɔdeɛ ahyɛ asase so ma.
25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
Ɛpo na ɛda hɔ tɛtrɛɛ hahanaa yi, a abɔdeɛ bebree a ɛnni ano, akɛseɛ ne nketewa ahyɛ no ma.
26 There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
Ɛso na ahyɛn di akɔneaba, na dɛnkyɛmmirampɔn a woyɛɛ no di agorɔ.
27 All of them look to you to give them their food at the proper time.
Wɔn nyinaa hwɛ wo kwan sɛ wobɛma wɔn wɔn aduane wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
28 You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
Wodema wɔn a, wɔtase; wobue wo nsam a, nnepa mee wɔn.
29 You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.
Wode wʼanim hinta wɔn a, wɔbɔ hu; sɛ wogye wɔn ahomeɛ a, wɔwuwu na wɔsane kɔ mfuturo mu.
30 You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
Sɛ wode wo Honhom no ma wɔn a na wɔabɔ wɔn, na woyɛ asase ani foforɔ.
31 Let the glory of YHWH endure forever. Let YHWH rejoice in his works.
Ma Awurade animuonyam ntena hɔ daa; ma Awurade ani nnye ne nnwuma ho,
32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
deɛ ɔhwɛ asase na ɛwosoɔ, na ɔde ne nsa ka mmepɔ a wisie firi mu ba.
33 I will sing to YHWH all my life. I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist.
Mɛto dwom ama Awurade me nkwa nna nyinaa; sɛ mete ase yi, mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama me Onyankopɔn.
34 Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in YHWH.
Ɔmma mʼakoma mu mpaeɛbɔ nsɔ nʼani ɛberɛ a meregye mʼani wɔ Awurade mu yi.
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless YHWH, my soul. Praise JAH.
Ma nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nyera wɔ asase so; na amumuyɛfoɔ ase nhye. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade. Kamfo Awurade.
