Psalms 68

1 To the Chief Musician. David’s. A Melody, a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, Yea let them that hate him flee before him:

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Ma Onyankopɔn nsɔre, ma nʼatamfo nhwete; wɔn a wɔtan no no nguan mfi nʼanim.

2 As smoke is driven about, Let them be driven about, —As wax is melted before a fire, Let the lawless perish before 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 let, the righteous, be glad, let them exult before God, Yea let them 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 ye to God, Make music of his Name, —Lift up (a song), to him that rideth through the waste plains, —Since Yah is his name, exult ye 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 The father of the fatherless, And the advocate of 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, is he that causeth the solitary to dwell in a home, That bringeth out prisoners into prosperity, But, the rebellious, have made their habitation in a sunburnt 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 camest forth before thy people, When thou didst stride through the wilderness, (Selah)

Onyankopɔn, bere a wudii wo nkurɔfo anim, bere a wode wɔn faa sare so no,

8 Earth, trembled, Yea, the heavens, dripped at the presence of God, —This Sinai—at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

asase wosowee, na ɔsoro tuee osu guu fam, wɔ Onyankopɔn, Sinai Nyankopɔn, Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn no anim.

9 A bounteous rain, dost thou shed abroad, O God, upon thine inheritance, When exhausted, thou thyself, hast supported it:

Womaa osu tɔɔ bebree, Ao, Onyankopɔn, guu wʼagyapade a abotow no so ma ɛyɛɛ frɔmfrɔm.

10 Thy living host, have remained therein, Thou dost provide, in thy bounty, for the humbled ones—O God!

Wo nkurɔfo bɔɔ atenase wɔ so, Onyankopɔn, wonam wʼadɔe bebree no so hwɛɛ ahiafo.

11 Let, My Lord, but give the word, The herald bands, will be a mighty host:

Awurade kaa asɛm no, na dodow no ara ne wɔn a wɔpaee mu kae;

12 Kings of armies, they flee! they flee! And, she that stayeth at home, shall share the spoil.

“Ahemfo ne wɔn asraafo guan ntɛm so; mmea a wɔwɔ fie no kyɛ asade.

13 Though ye rest between the folds, The wings of the dove, shall be covered with silver, And, her pinions, with green-shimmering 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 Almighty scattereth kings therein, It will gleam like snow in the gloom:

Bere a Otumfo bɔɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase no so hwetee no, na ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma a agu Bepɔw Salmon so.

15 A mighty mountain, is the mountain of Bashan, A mountain of peaks, is the mountain of Bashan!—

Basan mmepɔw gyinagyina hɔ, Basan mmepɔw so yɛ abonkyiabonkyi.

16 Wherefore start ye up, ye mountains, ye peaks? The mountain God hath coveted for his habitation, Surely, Yahweh will inhabit it ever!

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 two myriads—thousands repeated, My Lord, is among them Sinai, is in the sanctuary!

Onyankopɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ mpem mpem ne mpem mpem mu mpem; Awurade fi Sinai aba ne kronkronbea.

18 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led in procession a body of captives, Thou hast received gifts consisting of men, Yea even the rebellious, That, Yah, Elohim, might settle down to rest.

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 be My Lord! Day by day, he beareth our burden for us, GOD himself, is our salvation. (Selah)

Ayeyi nka Awurade, nka Onyankopɔn yɛn Agyenkwa, nea ɔsoa yɛn nnesoa da biara no.

20 The GOD we have, is a GOD of saving deeds, And, due to Yahweh, My Lord, are escapes from death.

Yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn a ogye nkwa; na Awurade mu na owu tow fom yɛn.

21 Yea, God himself, will smite through the head of his foes, —The hairy crown of him that is marching on in his guilty deeds.

Ampa ara Onyankopɔn bɛdwerɛw nʼatamfo ti, wɔn a wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne ti kusuu no.

22 Said My Lord, From Bashan, will I bring back, —I will bring back from the depths of the sea:

Awurade ka se, “Mede wɔn befi Basan aba; mede wɔn befi po bun mu aba,

23 That thou mayest bathe thy foot in blood, —The tongue of thy dogs, from the foes, hath its portion.

na moanantew wɔn a wokyi mo no mogya mu na mo akraman tɛkrɛma anya wɔn kyɛfa.”

24 They have seen thy progress O God, The progress of my GOD, my king into the sanctuary:

Onyankopɔn, yɛahu wo santen yuu no, me Nyankopɔn ne me Hene santen yuu no a ɔde reba ne kronkronbea hɔ.

25 In front are the singers, Behind are the harpers, In the midst of damsels playing on timbrels:

Nnwontofo no wɔ anim, na asankubɔfo no nso di so, na mmabaa a wɔrewosow akasae nso ka wɔn ho.

26 In the congregations, bless ye God, My Lord, from among the called of Israel:

Monkamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asafo kɛse no mu; monkamfo Awurade wɔ Israel nnipakuw no mu.

27 There, is Benjamin, the Diminutive—ruling them, The princes of Judah—their throng, The princes of Zebulun, 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 commanded thy strength, —The strength, O God, which thou hast wrought for us.

Kyerɛ wo tumi, Onyankopɔn; da wʼahoɔden adi kyerɛ yɛn, sɛnea woayɛ pɛn no.

29 Because of thy temple above Jerusalem, Unto thee, shall kings bear along a gift—

Wʼasɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nti ahemfo de ayɛyɛde bɛbrɛ wo.

30 Rebuke thou, The wild beast of the reeds, The herd of mighty oxen among the calves of the peoples—Each one bowing down with bars of silver, —Scatter thou the peoples, who in wars take delight.

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 Ambassadors come out of Egypt, The Ethiopian, eagerly stretcheth out his hands, unto God.

Ananmusifo befi Misraim aba, na Kus de ne ho bɛma Onyankopɔn.

32 Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God, Praise in song Adonay. (Selah)

Wiase ahemman, monto dwom mma Onyankopɔn, monto ayeyi nnwom mma Awurade,

33 Unto him that rideth upon the most ancient heavens, Lo! he uttereth his voice, a voice of strength.

monto mma nea ɔte tete ɔsorosoro so no, na ɔde nne kɛse bobɔ mu no.

34 Ascribe ye strength unto God, —Over Israel, is his majesty, And his strength, in the skies. To be revered is God, for his sanctuary, —

Mompae mu nka Onyankopɔn tumi, nea ne kɛseyɛ kata Israel so no, na ne tumi wɔ soro ɔsoro no.

35 As for the GOD of Israel, he, is giving strength and abundant might to the people. Blessed be God!

Wo ho yɛ hu, Onyankopɔn, wɔ wo kronkronbea hɔ; Israel Nyankopɔn de tumi ne ahoɔden ma ne nkurɔfo. Ayeyi nka Onyankopɔn!
