Nnwom 105
1 Ɛda Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma ewiase nyinaa nhunu deɛ wayɛ.
Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.
2 Monto dwom mma no, monto ayɛyie dwom mma no; monka nʼanwanwadeɛ no nyinaa.
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.
3 Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya akoma mu anigyeɛ.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
4 Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim ɛberɛ biara.
Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually;
5 Monkae anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, ne atemmuo a ɔbuiɛ,
Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth:
6 Ao Abraham mma, Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, Ao Yakob mma a wapa wɔn.
Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn. Nʼahennie da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
He, Jehovah, is our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
8 Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ apem no,
He is ever mindful of his covenant, — the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, —
9 apam a ɔne Abraham yɛeɛ no ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak no.
Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
10 Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ.
And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
12 Ɔkaa yei ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
When they were a few men in number, of small account, and strangers in it.
13 Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so; firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
And they went from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14 Wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ:
He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes,
15 “Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo; na monnyɛ mʼadiyifoɔ bɔne bi.”
[Saying, ] Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.
16 Ɔmaa ɛkɔm baa asase no so na ɔsɛee akwan a wɔfa so nya wɔn aduane nyinaa;
And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.
17 na ɔsomaa ɔbarima bi dii wɔn anim, Yosef a wɔtɔn no sɛ akoa no.
He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman.
18 Wɔde mpokyerɛ guu ne nan, na wɔde dadeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn hyɛɛ ne kɔn,
They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;
19 kɔsii sɛ deɛ ɔhyɛɛ ho nkɔm no baa mu, kɔsii sɛ Awurade asɛm no daa no adi sɛ ɔyɛ nokwafoɔ.
Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.
20 Afei, ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔgyaa no; aman no sodifoɔ gyaa no.
The king sent and loosed him — the ruler of peoples — and let him go free.
21 Ɔyɛɛ no ne fiefoɔ so wura, deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa sodifoɔ,
He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions:
22 sɛ ɔnkyerɛ ne mmapɔmma deɛ ɔpɛ na ɔnkyerɛ ne mpanimfoɔ nyansa.
To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
23 Afei, Israel kɔɔ Misraim; Yakob kɔtenaa Ham asase so sɛ ɔnanani.
And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 Awurade maa ne nkurɔfoɔ ase dɔreeɛ; ɔyɛɛ wɔn bebree dodo maa wɔn atamfoɔ,
And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.
25 wɔn a ɔdanee wɔn akoma sɛ wɔntane ne nkurɔfoɔ na wɔmpam nʼasomfoɔ tiri so.
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26 Ɔsomaa ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose, ne Aaron a na wayi noɔ no.
He sent Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen:
27 Wɔyɛɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nwanwasoɔ wɔ wɔn mu, nʼanwanwadeɛ wɔ Ham asase so.
They set his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham.
28 Ɔsomaa esum, na ɔmaa asase duruu sum ɛfiri sɛ na wɔate nʼasɛm no so atua.
He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 Ɔmaa wɔn nsuo nyinaa danee mogya, nam so kumm emu mpataa.
He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.
30 Mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛɛ asase no so ma, na wɔhyɛnee ɔman no sodifoɔ mpia mu.
Their land swarmed with frogs, — in the chambers of their kings.
31 Ɔkasaeɛ, na nwansena bebree ne ntontom baa ɔman no mu baabiara.
He spoke, and there came dog-flies, [and] gnats in all their borders.
32 Ɔmaa wɔn osutɔ danee ampariboɔ a anyinam nenam mu wɔ ɔman no nyinaa mu;
He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land;
33 Ɔsɛee wɔn bobe ne borɔdɔma nnua na ɔbubuu ɔman no so nnua pasaa.
And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.
34 Ɔkasaeɛ, na ntutummɛ baeɛ mmɛbɛ a wɔntumi nkan wɔn;
He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number;
35 wɔwee nhahammono biara a ɛwɔ wɔn asase no so, na wɔdii wɔn mfuo so nnuane.
And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 Afei ɔkunkumm wɔn asase so mmakan nyinaa, wɔn mmarimayɛ mu aba a ɛdi ɛkan nyinaa.
And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour.
37 Ɔyii Israelfoɔ, a wɔso dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, firii wɔn mmusuakuo mu a obiara ho antɔ kyima.
And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes.
38 Misraim ani gyeeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔkɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na Israelfoɔ ho hu atɔ wɔn so.
Egypt rejoiced at their departure; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 Ɔtrɛɛ omununkum mu kataa wɔn so, na ɔde ogya maa wɔn, sɛ ɛnyɛ hann anadwo.
He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
40 Wɔbisaeɛ, na ɔbrɛɛ wɔn mmoko. Ɔmaa ɔsoro aduane mee wɔn.
They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 Ɔbuee ɔbotan mu maa nsuo firii mu baeɛ; na ɛtenee wɔ ɛserɛ no so sɛ asubɔnten.
He opened the rock, and waters gushed forth; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
42 Ɔkaee ne bɔhyɛ kronkron bi a ɔhyɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Abraham no.
For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant;
43 Ɔyii ne nkurɔfoɔ maa wɔn ani gyeeɛ. Wɔn a wapa wɔn no dii ahurisie;
And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing;
44 ɔde amanaman no nsase maa wɔn, na deɛ ebinom abrɛ anya no bɛyɛɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ
And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples:
45 na wɔahwɛ nʼahyɛdeɛ adi ne mmara so. Monyi Awurade ayɛ.
That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!
