Nnwom 78
1 Asaf dwom. Me nkurɔfo, muntie me nkyerɛkyerɛ; monyɛ aso mma mʼanom nsɛm.
The lernyng of Asaph. Mi puple, perseyue ye my lawe; bowe youre eere in to the wordis of my mouth.
2 Mɛkasa wɔ abebu mu, mɛka ahintasɛm, teteete nneɛma no,
I schal opene my mouth in parablis; Y schal speke perfite resouns fro the bigynnyng.
3 nneɛma a yɛate na yɛahu; nneɛma a yɛn agyanom aka ho asɛm akyerɛ yɛn.
Hou grete thingis han we herd, aud we han knowe tho; and oure fadris. telden to vs.
4 Yɛremfa nkame wɔn mma; yɛbɛka akyerɛ nkyirimma Awurade nneyɛe a ɛfata nkamfo no, ne tumi ne anwonwade a wayɛ no.
Tho ben not hid fro the sones of hem; in anothir generacioun. And thei telden the heriyngis of the Lord, and the vertues of hym; and hise merueilis, whyche he dide.
5 Ɔyɛɛ ahyɛde maa Yakob na ɔyɛɛ mmara wɔ Israel, nea ɔhyɛɛ yɛn nenanom sɛ wɔnkyerɛ wɔn mma,
And he reiside witnessyng in Jacob; and he settide lawe in Israel. Hou grete thingis comaundide he to oure fadris, to make tho knowun to her sones;
6 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nkyirimma besua, mpo mmofra a wonnya nwoo wɔn, na wɔn nso akyerɛkyerɛ wɔn mma.
that another generacioun knowe. Sones, that schulen be born, and schulen rise vp; schulen telle out to her sones.
7 Afei wɔde wɔn ho bɛto Onyankopɔn so, na wɔn werɛ remfi ne nneyɛe, na wobedi nʼahyɛde so.
That thei sette her hope in God, and foryete not the werkis of God; and that thei seke hise comaundementis.
8 Wɔrenyɛ sɛ wɔn nenanom, a na wɔyɛ asoɔdenfo ne atuatewfo, wɔn a wonni Onyankopɔn nokware wɔ wɔn koma mu na woyɛ honhom mu atorofo ma no no.
Lest thei be maad a schrewid generacioun; and terrynge to wraththe, as the fadris of hem. A generacioun that dresside not his herte; and his spirit was not bileued with God.
9 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Efraim mmarima kurakura agyan, nanso ɔko da no woguanee;
The sones of Effraym, bendinge a bouwe and sendynge arowis; weren turned in the dai of batel.
10 Wɔanni Onyankopɔn apam no so, wɔampɛ sɛ wodi ne mmara no so.
Thei kepten not the testament of God; and thei nolden go in his lawe.
11 Wɔn werɛ fii nea wayɛ, anwonwade a wayɛ akyerɛ wɔn no.
And thei foryaten hise benefices; and hise merueils, whiche he schewide to hem.
12 Ɔyɛɛ anwonwade wɔ wɔn nenanom anim, wɔ Soan mantam a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so.
He dide merueils bifore the fadris of hem in the loond of Egipt; in the feeld of Taphneos.
13 Ɔkyɛɛ po mu na ɔde wɔn faa mu. Ɔmaa nsu no gyinaa sɛ afasu.
He brak the see, and ledde hem thorou; and he ordeynede the watris as in a bouge.
14 Ɔde omununkum dii wɔn anim awia na ɔde ogyatɛn dii wɔn anim anadwo nyinaa.
And he ledde hem forth in a cloude of the dai; and al niyt in the liytnyng of fier.
15 Ɔpaee ɔbotan mu wɔ sare so, na ɔmaa wɔn nsu a ɛdɔɔso sɛ po;
He brak a stoon in deseert; and he yaf watir to hem as in a myche depthe.
16 Ɔmaa asuti fii abotan mu na ɔmaa nsu sen sɛ nsubɔnten.
And he ledde watir out of the stoon; and he ledde forth watris as floodis.
17 Nanso wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ bɔne tiaa no, wɔsɔre tiaa Ɔsorosoroni no wɔ sare no so.
And thei `leiden to yit to do synne ayens hym; thei excitiden hiye God in to ire, in a place with out water.
18 Wɔhyɛɛ da kaa aduan a wɔpɛ, de sɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛe.
And thei temptiden God in her hertis; that thei axiden meetis to her lyues.
19 Wɔkasa tiaa Onyankopɔn se, “Onyankopɔn betumi ato pon wɔ sare so ana?
And thei spaken yuel of God; thei seiden, Whether God may make redi a bord in desert?
20 Ɔde ade bɔɔ ɔbotan mu no, nsu tue fii mu, na nsuwa sen buu so. Na obetumi ama yɛn aduan nso? Obetumi ama ne nkurɔfo nam ana?”
For he smoot a stoon, and watris flowiden; and streemys yeden out in aboundaunce. Whether also he may yyue breed; ether make redi a bord to his puple?
21 Bere a Awurade tee nea wɔreka no, ne bo fuw yiye; ne gya beguu Yakob so, na nʼabufuwhyew sɔre tiaa Israel,
Therfor the Lord herde, and delaiede; and fier was kindelid in Jacob, and the ire of God stiede on Israel.
22 efisɛ na wonni Onyankopɔn mu gyidi anaasɛ ne nkwagye mu ahotoso.
For thei bileueden not in God; nether hopiden in his heelthe.
23 Nanso ɔkasa kyerɛɛ ɔsoro wɔ ɔhyɛ so; na obuee ɔsorosoro apon.
And he comaundide to the cloudis aboue; and he openyde the yatis of heuene.
24 Ɔtɔɔ mana guu fam maa nnipa no sɛ wunni, ɔmaa wɔn ɔsoro aduan.
And he reynede to hem manna for to eete; and he yaf to hem breed of heuene.
25 Nnipa dii abɔfo aduan; ɔmaa wɔn aduan a wobetumi adi nyinaa.
Man eet the breed of aungels; he sent to hem meetis in aboundance.
26 Ogyaa apuei mframa fi ɔsoro, na ofi ne tumi mu bɔɔ atɔe mframa.
He turnede ouere the south wynde fro heuene; and he brouyte in bi his vertu the weste wynde.
27 Ɔtɔɔ nam sɛ mfutuma guu wɔn so, nnomaa a wotu bebree sɛ mpoano nwea.
And he reynede fleischis as dust on hem; and `he reinede volatils fethered, as the grauel of the see.
28 Ɔma wɔbaa fam kɔɔ wɔn atenae, ne wɔn ntamadan ho nyinaa.
And tho felden doun in the myddis of her castels; aboute the tabernaclis of hem.
29 Wodidi maa aduan no boroo wɔn so efisɛ ɔmaa wɔn nea wɔhwehwɛ.
And thei eeten, and weren fillid greetli, and he brouyte her desire to hem;
30 Nanso ansa na wobefi aduan a wɔhwehwɛ no ho, bere a ɛhyehyɛ wɔn anom mpo no,
thei weren not defraudid of her desier. Yit her metis weren in her mouth;
31 Onyankopɔn abufuw sɔree wɔn so; okum ahoɔdenfo a wɔwɔ wɔn mu twitwaa Israel mmerante gui.
and the ire of God stiede on hem. And he killide the fatte men of hem; and he lettide the chosene men of Israel.
32 Eyinom nyinaa akyi, wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ bɔne; nʼanwonwade akyi no, wɔannye anni.
In alle these thingis thei synneden yit; and bileuede not in the merueils of God.
33 Enti otwaa wɔn nna so te sɛ ahuru yɛɛ wɔn mfe awiei huhuuhu.
And the daies of hem failiden in vanytee; and the yeeris of hem faileden with haste.
34 Bere biara a Onyankopɔn bekum wɔn no, wɔhwehwɛ no na wɔpere wɔn ho san ba ne nkyɛn.
Whanne he killide hem, thei souyten hym; and turneden ayen, and eerli thei camen to hym.
35 Wɔkaee sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ wɔn botan, sɛ Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn no yɛ wɔn Gyefo.
And thei bithouyten, that God is the helper of hem; and `the hiy God is the ayenbier of hem.
36 Nanso wɔde wɔn ano bɛdaadaa no, na wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma atwa atoro akyerɛ no;
And thei loueden hym in her mouth; and with her tunge thei lieden to hym.
37 wɔn koma nni no nokware, na wonni nʼapam no so.
Forsothe the herte of hem was not riytful with hym; nethir thei weren had feithful in his testament.
38 Nanso na ɔyɛ ahummɔbɔ; ɔde wɔn amumɔyɛ kyɛɛ wɔn a wansɛe wɔn. Mpɛn pii, ɔtwentwɛn nʼabufuw so na wanhwie nʼabufuwhyew nyinaa.
But he is merciful, and he schal be maad merciful to the synnes of hem; and he schal not destrie hem. And he dide greetli, to turne awei his yre; and he kyndelide not al his ire.
39 Ɔkaee sɛ wɔyɛ ɔhonam ara kwa, mframa bi a ɛbɔ twa mu na ɛnsan nʼakyi.
And he bithouyte, that thei ben fleische; a spirit goynge, and not turnynge ayen.
40 Mpɛn ahe na wɔansɔre antia no wɔ sare no so hɔ, na mpɛn ahe na wɔamma ne werɛ anhow wɔ asase wosee no so!
Hou oft maden thei hym wrooth in desert; thei stireden hym in to ire in a place with out watir.
41 Wɔsɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛɛ bere biara; na woyii Israel Ɔkronkronni no abufuw.
And thei weren turned, and temptiden God; and thei wraththiden the hooli of Israel.
42 Wɔn werɛ fii ne tumi no, da a ogyee wɔn fii wɔn nhyɛsofo nsam no,
Thei bithouyten not on his hond; in the dai in the which he ayen bouyte hem fro the hond of the trobler.
43 da a ɔyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne nwonwaso wɔ Misraim no ne nʼanwonwade wɔ Soan mantam mu no.
As he settide hise signes in Egipt; and hise grete wondris in the feeld of Taphneos.
44 Ɔmaa wɔn nsubɔnten dan mogya; wɔantumi annom wɔn nsuten mu nsu.
And he turnede the flodis of hem and the reynes of hem in to blood; that thei schulden not drynke.
45 Ɔmaa nwansenadɔm baa wɔn so bɛhaw wɔn na mpɔtorɔ nso bɛsɛee wɔn asase.
He sente a fleisch flie in to hem, and it eet hem; and he sente a paddok, and it loste hem.
46 Ɔmaa tɛwtɛw bedii wɔn mfuw so aduan na ɔde wɔn nnɔbae nso maa mmoadabi.
And he yaf the fruytis of hem to rust; and he yaf the trauels of hem to locustis.
47 Ɔde mparuwbo sɛee wɔn bobe na ɔde sukyerɛmma sɛee wɔn ankye nnua.
And he killide the vynes of hem bi hail; and the moore trees of hem bi a frost.
48 Ɔde sukyerɛmma kum wɔn anantwi ɔde anyinam kum wɔn nyɛmmoa.
And he bitook the beestis of hem to hail; and the possessioun of hem to fier.
49 Ohwiee nʼabufuwhyew guu wɔn so, abufuw, anibere ne ɔtan; abɔfo asɛefo kuw no.
He sente in to hem the ire of his indignacioun; indignacioun, and ire, and tribulacioun, sendingis in bi iuel aungels.
50 Ɔbɔɔ kwan maa nʼabufuw; na wamfa wɔn nkwa ankyɛ wɔn, mmom, ɔde wɔn maa ɔyaredɔm.
He made weie to the path of his ire, and he sparide not fro the deth of her lyues; and he closide togidere in deth the beestis of hem.
51 Okunkum Misraimfo mmakan nyinaa, Ham ntamadan mu nnipa mu abakan.
And he smoot al the first gendrid thing in the lond of Egipt; the first fruytis of alle the trauel of hem in the tabernaclis of Cham.
52 Nanso oyii ne nkurɔfo fii mu sɛ nguankuw; odii wɔn anim sɛ nguan wɔ sare no so.
And he took awei his puple as scheep; and he ledde hem forth as a flok in desert.
53 Odii wɔn anim dwoodwoo, enti wɔansuro; nanso wɔn atamfo de, po asorɔkye bu faa wɔn so.
And he ledde hem forth in hope, and thei dredden not; and the see hilide the enemyes of hem.
54 Sɛɛ na ɔyɛ de wɔn baa nʼasase kronkron no ahye so, bepɔw asase a ɔde ne nsa nifa gyee no.
And he brouyte hem in to the hil of his halewyng; in to the hil which his riythond gat. And he castide out hethene men fro the face of hem; and bi lot he departide to hem the lond in a cord of delyng.
55 Ɔpam amanaman a wɔwɔ wɔn anim no na ɔkyekyɛɛ wɔn nsase no mu maa wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapade; ɔbɔɔ Israel mmusuakuw no atenase wɔ wɔn afi mu.
And he made the lynagis of Israel to dwelle in the tabernaclis of hem.
56 Nanso wɔsɔɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛe, na wɔsɔre tiaa Ɔsorosoroni no; na wɔanni ne mmara so.
And thei temptiden, and wraththiden heiy God; and thei kepten not hise witnessyngis.
57 Wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔn agyanom, wɔanni nokware na wɔannya gyidi, ahotoso nni wɔn mu na wɔte sɛ agyan a asɛe.
And thei turneden awei hem silf, and thei kepten not couenaunt; as her fadris weren turned in to a schrewid bouwe.
58 Wɔde wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea hyɛɛ no abufuw na wɔn ahoni maa ne ninkutwe mu yɛɛ den.
Thei stiriden him in to ire in her litle hillis; and thei terriden hym to indignacioun of her grauen ymagis.
59 Onyankopɔn tee wɔn nka no, ne bo fuwii; na ɔpoo Israel korakora.
God herde, and forsook; and brouyte to nouyt Israel greetli.
60 Ogyaw nʼatenae a ɛwɔ Silo no, ntamadan a wasi wɔ nnipa mu no.
And he puttide awei the tabernacle of Sylo; his tabernacle where he dwellide among men.
61 Ɔde Apam Adaka a ɛyɛ ne tumi no kɔɔ nnommum mu, nʼanuonyam kɔɔ atamfo nsam.
And he bitook the vertu of hem in to caitiftee; and the fairnesse of hem in to the hondis of the enemye.
62 Ɔde ne nkurɔfo maa afoa; ne bo fuw nʼagyapade yiye.
And he closide togidere his puple in swerd; and he dispiside his erytage.
63 Ogya hyew wɔn mmerante kum wɔn, na wɔn mmabaa annya ayeforohyia dwom anto;
Fier eet the yonge men of hem; and the virgyns of hem weren not biweilid.
64 Wɔn asɔfo wuwuu afoa ano, na wɔn akunafo antumi ansu.
The prestis of hem fellen doun bi swerd; and the widewis of hem weren not biwept.
65 Afei Awurade sɔree sɛnea ofi nna mu no, sɛnea ɔbarima a wabow nsa nyan fi nnahɔɔ mu no.
And the Lord was reisid, as slepynge; as miyti greetli fillid of wiyn.
66 Ɔbobɔɔ nʼatamfo ma woguan kɔɔ wɔn akyi; ɔhyɛɛ wɔn aniwu afebɔɔ.
And he smoot hise enemyes on the hynderere partis; he yaf to hem euerlastyng schenschipe.
67 Afei ɔpoo Yosef ntamadan no, na wamfa Efraim abusuakuw no nso;
And he puttide awei the tabernacle of Joseph; and he chees not the lynage of Effraym.
68 Na mmom, ɔfaa Yuda abusuakuw no, Bepɔw Sion a ɔdɔ no no.
But he chees the lynage of Juda; he chees the hil of Syon, which he louede.
69 Osii ne kronkronbea te sɛ sorɔnsorɔmmea, te sɛ asase a etim hɔ daa.
And he as an vnicorn bildide his hooli place; in the lond, which he foundide in to worldis.
70 Oyii ne somfo Dawid, ɔfrɛɛ no fii nguannan mu;
And he chees Dauid his seruaunt, and took hym vp fro the flockis of scheep; he took hym fro bihynde scheep with lambren.
71 fii nguan akyi na ɔde no bae se ɔmmɛyɛ oguanhwɛfo mma ne nkurɔfo Yakob, mma Israel a wɔyɛ nʼagyapade.
To feed Jacob his seruaunt; and Israel his eritage.
72 Na Dawid de koma pa hwɛɛ wɔn so na ɔde ne nimdeɛ dii wɔn anim.
And he fedde hem in the innocens of his herte; and he ledde hem forth in the vndurstondyngis of his hondis.
