Psalms 148
1 Praise Yahweh! Praise him, from up in heaven; praise him from way up in the sky!
Monkamfo Awurade! Monkamfo Awurade mfi ɔsorosoro, monkamfo no wɔ ɔsoro sorɔnsorɔmmea.
2 All you angels who belong to him, praise him! All you who are in the armies of heaven, praise him!
Nʼabɔfo nyinaa, monkamfo no, ne ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, monkamfo no.
3 Sun and moon, [you also] praise him! You shining stars, you praise him!
Owia ne ɔsram, monkamfo no, nsoromma a ɛhyerɛn nyinaa, monkamfo no.
4 You highest heavens, praise him! And you waters that are high above the sky, praise him!
Monkamfo no, ɔsoro mu soro ne mo nsu a mowɔ ɔsoro atifi.
5 I want [all of] these to praise Yahweh [MTY] because by commanding [them to exist], he created them.
Momma wɔn nyinaa nkamfo Awurade din, efisɛ ɔno na ɔhyɛ ma wɔbɔɔ wɔn.
6 He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!
Ɔde wɔn sisii hɔ afebɔɔ; na ɔmaa ɔhyɛ nsɛm bi a ɛrentwa mu da.
7 And everything on the earth, praise Yahweh! You [huge] sea monsters and [everything else that is] deep [in the ocean],
Monkamfo Awurade mfi asase so, mo po kɛse mu abɔde ne po bun nyinaa,
8 and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!
anyinam ne mparuwbo, sukyerɛmma ne omununkum, ahum a moyɛ nʼapɛde,
9 Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],
mo mmepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa, nnua a ɛsow aba ne sida nyinaa,
10 all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!
nwura mu mmoa ne anantwi, abɔde nketewa ne nnomaa a wotu,
11 You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,
asase ne amanaman nyinaa so ahemfo, mo mmapɔmma ne asase sodifo nyinaa,
12 you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]
mmerante ne mmabaa, mmasiriwa ne mmofra nso.
13 I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.
Ma wɔnkamfo Awurade din, na ne din so sen din biara; nʼanuonyam korɔn wɔ asase ne ɔsoro so.
14 He caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
Wapagyaw mmɛn bi ama ne nkurɔfo, nʼahotewfo nyinaa nkamfo; Israelfo, nnipa a wɔda ne koma so no nkamfo. Monkamfo Awurade.
