Nnwom 107
1 Monna Awurade ase na ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.
Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Momma wɔn a Awurade agye wɔn nka saa, wɔn a wagye wɔn afiri ɔtamfoɔ nsam no,
Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.
3 wɔn a ɔboaboaa wɔn ano firii nsase soɔ no, ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ, atifi kɔsi anafoɔ.
From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.
4 Ebinom kyinkyinii wɔ nsase paradada so, a wɔanhunu ɛkwan ankɔ kuropɔn no mu, baabi a wɔbɛtumi anya atenaeɛ.
They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.
5 Ɛkɔm ne sukɔm dee wɔn na wɔtotɔɔ baha.
They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.
6 Afei wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 Ɔde wɔn faa ɛkwan tee so baa kuropɔn a wɔtumi tena mu no mu.
And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Momma wɔnna Awurade ase, nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da ho ne nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ ma nnipa.
Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
9 Ɔma wɔn a sukɔm de wɔn nsuo na ɔde nnepa hyɛ wɔn a ɛkɔm de wɔn ma.
For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
10 Ebinom tenaa esum ne awerɛhoɔ mu, nneduafoɔ a wɔde dadeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn agu wɔn,
Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.
11 ɛfiri sɛ, wɔtee Onyankopɔn nsɛm ho atua na wɔbuu Ɔsorosoroni no agyinatuo animtiaa.
Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:
12 Enti ɔgyaa wɔn maa adwuma den; wɔsuntisuntiiɛ na wɔannya ɔboafoɔ.
And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.
13 Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
14 Ɔyii wɔn firii esum ne awerɛhoɔ mu na ɔbubuu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mu.
And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.
15 Momma wɔnna Awurade ase, nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da ho ne nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ ma nnipa.
Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
16 Ɔbubu kɔbere mfrafraeɛ apono na ɔtwitwa nnadeban mu.
Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.
17 Ebinom bɛyɛɛ nkwaseafoɔ, wɔn atuateɛ enti na wɔhunuu amane, wɔn nnebɔne enti.
He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.
18 Wɔkyirii aduane nyinaa na wɔtwe bɛnee owuo ɛpono ano.
Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
19 Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade, wɔn amanehunu mu na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
20 Ɔsomaa nʼasɛm na ɔsaa wɔn yadeɛ; na ɔgyee wɔn firii ɛda mu.
He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Momma wɔnna Awurade ase, nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da ho ne nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ ma nnipa.
Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
22 Momma wɔmmɔ aseda afɔdeɛ na wɔmfa ahurisie nnwom nka ne nnwuma ho asɛm.
And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.
23 Ebinom tenaa ahyɛn mu wɔ ɛpo so; wɔyɛ adwadifoɔ wɔ nsuo akɛseɛ so.
They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:
24 Wɔhunuu Awurade nnwuma, nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɛwɔ ebunu mu.
These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 Ɔkasaeɛ maa ahum tui na ɛkukuruu asorɔkye.
He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.
26 Wɔpagya kɔɔ sorosoro na wɔsiane kɔɔ ebunu mu tɔnn; wɔn amanehunu mu no wɔn bo tui.
They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.
27 Wɔkyim totɔɔ ntintan sɛ asabofoɔ; na wɔnhunu deɛ wɔnnyɛ bio.
They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
28 Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade, wɔn amanehunu mu, na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.
29 Ɔmaa ahum no yɛɛ dinn; ɛpo so asorɔkye ano brɛɛ ase.
And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.
30 Wɔn ani gyeeɛ ɛberɛ a ɛyɛɛ dinn no, na ɔkyerɛɛ wɔn ɛkwan de wɔn kɔduruu gyinabea a wɔpɛ.
And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
31 Momma wɔnna Awurade ase, nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da ho ne nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ ma nnipa.
Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
32 Wɔmma ne so wɔ asafo no mu na wɔnkamfo no wɔ mpanimfoɔ nhyiamu ase.
And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
33 Ɔdanee nsubɔntene maa no yɛɛ ɛserɛ, asutene yɛɛ asase wesee,
He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:
34 na asasebereɛ danee nkyenenkyene, wɔn a wɔte asase no so amumuyɛ enti.
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 Ɔdanee ɛserɛ so maa no yɛɛ nsuwansuwa na nkyɛkyerɛ yɛɛ sɛ asutene ananmu;
He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.
36 Ɛhɔ na ɔde wɔn a ɛkɔm de wɔn kɔsoɛe, na wɔkyekyeree kuropɔn tenaa mu.
And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.
37 Wɔyɛɛ mfuo ne bobe nturo na ɛmaa wɔn nnɔbaeɛ bebree.
And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.
38 Ɔhyiraa wɔn na wɔn ase dɔreeɛ. Wamma wɔn ayɛmmoa dodoɔ so anhwan.
And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
39 Afei wɔn dodoɔ so hwaneeɛ na nhyɛsoɔ, amanehunu ne awerɛhoɔ brɛɛ wɔn ase;
Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
40 deɛ ɔbu aberempɔn animtiaa no ma wɔkyinkyinii asase bonini a ɛkwan nni hɔ so.
Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
41 Nanso, ɔpagyaa ahiafoɔ firii wɔn ahohia mu na ɔmaa wɔn mmusua dɔree sɛ nnwankuo.
And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.
42 Ateneneefoɔ bɛhunu ama wɔn ani gye, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ nyinaa bɛmua wɔn ano.
The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
43 Momma deɛ ɔyɛ onyansafoɔ no mmu yeinom, na ɔnnwene Awurade adɔeɛ kɛseɛ no ho.
Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
