5 Monkae anwonwade a wayɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnne, ne atɛn a obui,
Remember his marvellous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth,
6 Abraham mma, Onyankopɔn asomfo, Yakob mma a wapaw wɔn.

7 Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn. Nʼahenni da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.

10 Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ.

They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14 Wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn nti, ɔkaa ahene anim se:

15 “Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo; na monnyɛ mʼadiyifo bɔne bi.”
“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
16 Ɔmaa ɔkɔm baa asase no so na ɔsɛee akwan a wɔfa so nya wɔn aduan nyinaa;

17 na ɔsomaa ɔbarima bi dii wɔn anim, Yosef a wɔtɔn no sɛ akoa no.

18 Wɔde mpokyerɛ guu ne nʼanan, na wɔde dade nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn hyɛɛ ne kɔn,
They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
19 kosii sɛ nea ɔhyɛɛ ho nkɔm no baa mu, kosii sɛ Awurade asɛm no daa no adi sɛ ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo.
until the time that his word happened, and the LORD’s word proved him true.
20 Ɔhene no soma ma wokoyii no; aman no sodifo gyaa no.

23 Na Israel kɔɔ Misraim; Yakob kɔtenaa Ham asase so sɛ ɔnanani.
