Psalms 106
1 Praise Yahweh. Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
Monkamfo Awurade! Monna Awurade ase na oye; na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.
2 Who can recount the mighty acts of Yahweh or proclaim in full all his praiseworthy deeds?
Hena na obetumi aka nneɛma akɛse a Awurade ayɛ? Anaasɛ obetumi aka ne nkamfo awie?
3 Blessed are those who do what is right, and whose deeds are always just.
Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔkɔ so bu atɛntrenee, na daa wɔyɛ nea eye.
4 Call me to mind, Yahweh, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them.
Awurade, sɛ wuhu wo nkurɔfo mmɔbɔ a kae me, sɛ wugye wɔn nkwa a, boa me,
5 Then I will see the prosperity of your chosen, rejoice in the gladness of your nation, and glory with your inheritance.
na manya wɔn a wapaw wɔn no yiyedi mu kyɛfa, na manya wo manfo anigye no mu kyɛfa, na me ne wʼagyapade no abɔ mu de nkamfo ama wo.
6 We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, and we have done evil.
Yɛayɛ bɔne sɛnea yɛn nenanom yɛe no; yɛayɛ mfomso na yɛadi atirimɔdensɛm.
7 Our fathers did not appreciate your marvelous deeds in Egypt; they ignored your many acts of covenant faithfulness; they were rebellious at the sea, the Sea of Reeds.
Bere a yɛn nenanom wɔ Misraim no, wɔannwene wo nsɛnkyerɛnne ho; wɔankae wʼadɔe bebrebe no, na wɔtew atua wɔ Po Kɔkɔɔ no ho.
8 Nevertheless, he saved them for his name's sake so that he might reveal his power.
Nanso ne din nti ogyee wɔn nkwa, sɛnea ɔbɛda ne tumi kɛse no adi.
9 He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up. Then he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
Ɔteɛɛ Po Kɔkɔɔ no ma ɛyowee; ɔde wɔn faa bun mu te sɛ sare so.
10 He saved them from the hand of those who hated them, and he rescued them from the hand of the enemy.
Ogyee wɔn fii ɔtamfo no nsam; nea ɔtan wɔn no nsam na oyii wɔn fii.
11 But the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
Nsu kataa wɔn atamfo so; na ɔbaako mpo annya nkwa.
12 Then they believed his words, and they sang his praise.
Afei wogyee ne bɔhyɛ no dii na wɔtoo nʼayeyi nnwom.
13 But they quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions.
Nanso ntɛm so, wɔn werɛ fii nea wayɛ na wɔantwɛn nʼagyinatu.
14 They had insatiable cravings in the wilderness, and they challenged God in the desert.
Akɔnnɔ bɛhyɛɛ wɔn mu wɔ sare so hɔ, asase paradada no so na wɔsɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛe,
15 So he gave them what they requested, but he sent a horrible disease upon them.
enti ɔmaa wɔn nea wobisae, nanso ɔde ɔfɔn yare baa wɔn so.
16 In the camp they became jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy priest of Yahweh.
Na nsraban mu hɔ wɔn ani beree Mose ne Aaron a Awurade atew ne ho no.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the followers of Abiram.
Asase mu bue ma ɛmenee Datan na esiee Abiram asafo no.
18 Fire broke out among them; the fire consumed the wicked.
Ogya tɔɔ wɔn akyidifo no mu; ogyatannaa hyew amumɔyɛfo no.
19 They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped a cast metal figure.
Wɔyɛɛ nantwi ba wɔ Horeb na wɔkotow ohoni a wɔde fagude ayɛ.
20 They traded the glory of God for the image of a bull that eats grass.
Wɔsesaa wɔn Anuonyam wɔde nantwinini, a ɔwe sare nsɛsode.
21 They forgot God their Savior, who had done great deeds in Egypt.
Wɔn werɛ fii Onyankopɔn a ogyee wɔn nkwa, nea ɔyɛɛ nneɛma akɛse wɔ Misraim no,
22 He had done wonderful things in the land of Ham and mighty acts at the Sea of Reeds.
nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɔyɛɛ wɔ Ham asase so ne nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu wɔ Po Kɔkɔɔ ho no.
23 So he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his anger from destroying them.
Enti ɔkae se ɔbɛsɛe wɔn, nanso Mose a ɔyɛ nea wapaw no no, sɔre gyinaa Onyankopɔn ne nnipa no ntam; ɔsrɛ de dwudwoo nʼabufuwhyew no ano sɛnea ɔrensɛe wɔn.
24 Then they despised the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise,
Afei wɔn ani ansɔ asase fɛfɛ no; na wɔannye ne bɔhyɛ no anni.
25 but grumbled in their tents, and did not obey Yahweh.
Wonwiinwii wɔ wɔn ntamadan mu na wɔanyɛ osetie amma Awurade.
26 Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would let them die in the desert,
Enti ɔmaa ne nsa so kaa ntam kyerɛɛ wɔn se ɔbɛma wɔatotɔ wɔ sare no so,
27 scatter their descendants among the nations, and scatter them in foreign lands.
ɔbɛma wɔn asefo atotɔ wɔ amanaman mu na wabɔ wɔn ahwete nsase nyinaa so.
28 They worshiped the Baal of Peor and ate the sacrifices offered to the dead.
Wɔde wɔn ho bɔɔ Baal-Peor ho na wodii afɔrebɔde a wɔde ama anyame a wonni nkwa;
29 They provoked him to anger with their actions, and a plague broke out among them.
wɔde wɔn atirimɔdensɛm hyɛɛ Awurade abufuw na ɔyaredɔm sii wɔn mu.
30 Then Phinehas rose to intervene, and the plague subsided.
Na Pinehas sɔre dii akagyinamu, na wosiw ɔyaredɔm no ano.
31 It was counted to him as a righteous deed to all generations forever.
Wɔde eyi yɛɛ trenee maa no wɔ awo ntoatoaso a enni awiei a ɛbɛba no mu.
32 They also angered Yahweh at the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them.
Meriba nsu ho nso, wɔhyɛɛ Awurade abufuw, na wɔn nti, ɔhaw baa Mose so,
33 They made Moses bitter, and he spoke rashly.
efisɛ wɔtew Onyankopɔn Honhom anim atua, na asɛm a wannwene ho fii Mose anom.
34 They did not destroy the nations as Yahweh had commanded them,
Wɔansɛe nnipa no sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no,
35 but they mingled with the nations and learned their ways
nanso wɔde wɔn ho frafraa amanaman no yɛɛ nneɛma a wɔyɛ no bi.
36 and worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
Wɔsom wɔn ahoni, na ɛbɛyɛɛ afide maa wɔn.
37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
Wɔde wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea bɔɔ afɔre maa abosom.
38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, desecrating the land with blood.
Wɔkaa mogya a edi bem gui, wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea mogya a wɔde bɔɔ afɔre maa Kanaan ahoni no maa asase no ho guu fi.
39 They were defiled by their deeds; in their actions they were like prostitutes.
Wɔde nea wɔyɛɛ no guu wɔn ankasa ho fi; wɔnam nea wɔyɛɛ no so bɔɔ aguaman.
40 So Yahweh was angry with his people, and he despised his own people.
Enti Awurade bo fuw ne nkurɔfo; na okyii nʼagyapade.
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
Ɔdan wɔn maa amanaman no, na wɔn atamfo dii wɔn so.
42 Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection to their authority.
Wɔn atamfo hyɛɛ wɔn so na wɔkaa wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn tumi ase.
43 Many times he came to help them, but they kept rebelling and were brought low by their own sin.
Mpɛn bebree, Awurade gyee wɔn, nanso wɔkɔɔ so tew atua na wɔsɛe wɔ wɔn bɔne mu.
44 Nevertheless, he paid attention to their distress when he heard their cry for help.
Nanso ohuu wɔn ahohiahia bere a wosu frɛɛ no no.
45 He called to mind his covenant with them and relented because of his steadfast love.
Wɔn nti ɔkaee nʼapam no, na ofii nʼadɔe kɛse no mu huu wɔn mmɔbɔ.
46 He caused all their conquerers to have pity on them.
Ɔmaa asodifo a wɔafa wɔn nnommum no nyaa ahummɔbɔ maa wɔn.
47 Save us, Yahweh, our God. Gather us from among the nations so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.
Gye yɛn, Awurade yɛn nkwagye Nyankopɔn, na boaboa yɛn ano fi amanaman so, na yɛada wo din kronkron no ase, na yɛde nkamfo ahyɛ wo anuonyam.
48 May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen.” Praise Yahweh.
Ayeyi nka Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, emfi mmeresanten nkosi nnasanten. Momma nnipa no nyinaa nka se, “Amen!” Monkamfo Awurade.
