7 Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn. Nʼahennie da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
8 Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ apem no,
He keeps in mind his covenant forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
9 apam a ɔne Abraham yɛeɛ no ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak no.
He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham and his oath to Isaac.
10 Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ.

11 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”
He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
12 Ɔkaa yei ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
He said this when they were only few in number, so very few, and were strangers in the land.
13 Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so; firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
They went from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another.
14 Wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ:
He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he rebuked kings for their sakes.
15 “Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo; na monnyɛ mʼadiyifoɔ bɔne bi.”
He said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
16 Ɔmaa ɛkɔm baa asase no so na ɔsɛee akwan a wɔfa so nya wɔn aduane nyinaa;
He called for a famine on the land; he cut off the whole supply of bread.
17 na ɔsomaa ɔbarima bi dii wɔn anim, Yosef a wɔtɔn no sɛ akoa no.
He sent a man ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a servant.
18 Wɔde mpokyerɛ guu ne nan, na wɔde dadeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn hyɛɛ ne kɔn,
His feet were bound by shackles; on his neck was put an iron collar,
19 kɔsii sɛ deɛ ɔhyɛɛ ho nkɔm no baa mu, kɔsii sɛ Awurade asɛm no daa no adi sɛ ɔyɛ nokwafoɔ.
until what he had said came to pass. The word of Yahweh tested him.
20 Afei, ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔgyaa no; aman no sodifoɔ gyaa no.
The king sent servants to release him; the ruler of the people set him free.
21 Ɔyɛɛ no ne fiefoɔ so wura, deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa sodifoɔ,
He put him in charge of his house as ruler of all his possessions
22 sɛ ɔnkyerɛ ne mmapɔmma deɛ ɔpɛ na ɔnkyerɛ ne mpanimfoɔ nyansa.

They performed his signs among the Egyptians, his wonders 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 that land dark, but its people did not obey his commands.
29 Ɔmaa wɔn nsuo nyinaa danee mogya, nam so kumm emu mpataa.
He turned their water into blood and killed their fish.
30 Mpɔtorɔ bɛhyɛɛ asase no so ma, na wɔhyɛnee ɔman no sodifoɔ mpia mu.
Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their rulers.

The locusts ate up all of the vegetation in their land; They ate up all the crops of the ground.
36 Afei ɔkunkumm wɔn asase so mmakan nyinaa, wɔn mmarimayɛ mu aba a ɛdi ɛkan nyinaa.
He killed every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.

He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled on the way.
38 Misraim ani gyeeɛ ɛberɛ a wɔkɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na Israelfoɔ ho hu atɔ wɔn so.
Egypt was glad when they went away, for the Egyptians were afraid of them.
