Nnwom 68
1 Dawid dwom. Ma Onyankopɔn nsɔre, na nʼatamfoɔ mmɔ mpete; wɔn a wɔtane noɔ no nnwane mfiri nʼanim.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 Sɛdeɛ mframa bɔ wisie gu no, saa ara na bɔ wɔn gu; sɛdeɛ sradeɛ nane wɔ ogya so no, saa ara na amumuyɛfoɔ nyera mfiri Onyankopɔn anim.
As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Nanso, ma ateneneefoɔ ani nnye na wɔnsɛpɛ wɔn ho wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; ma wɔn ho ntɔ wɔn na wɔnni ahurisie.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 To dwom ma Onyankopɔn, to dwom yi ne din ayɛ. Ma deɛ ɔnante omununkum soɔ no din so. Ne din ne Awurade; ma wʼani nnye wɔ nʼanim.
Sing to God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
5 Nwisiaa agya ne deɛ ɔdi akunafoɔ asɛm ma wɔn ne Onyankopɔn a ɔte nʼatenaeɛ kronkron hɔ.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is] God in his holy habitation.
6 Ɔma onnibie tena mmusua mu, na ɔde nnwontoɔ yi nneduafoɔ ma wɔde wɔn ho; na atuatefoɔ deɛ, wɔtena asase a awo so.
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those who are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].
7 Ao Onyankopɔn, ɛberɛ a wodii wo nkurɔfoɔ anim, ɛberɛ a wode wɔn faa ɛserɛ so no,
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
8 asase wosoeɛ, na ɔsoro tuee osuo guu fam, wɔ Onyankopɔn, Sinai Onyankopɔn no, Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn no anim.
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Womaa osuo tɔɔ bebree, Ao Onyankopɔn, guu wʼagyapadeɛ a abotoɔ no so ma ɛyɛɛ frɔmm.
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou didst confirm thy inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Wo nkurɔfoɔ bɔɔ atenaseɛ wɔ so. Ao Onyankopɔn, wonam wʼadɔeɛ bebree no mu hwɛɛ ahiafoɔ.
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 Awurade kaa asɛm no, na dodoɔ no ara ne wɔn a wɔpaee mu kaeɛ;
The LORD gave the word: great [was] the company of those that published [it].
12 “Ahemfo ne wɔn asraafoɔ dwane ntɛm so; na mmaa kyɛ afodeɛ no.
Kings of armies fled apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Mpo wɔn a wɔn daberɛ wɔ nnwankuo mu no, wɔnya afodeɛ no bi. Wɔnya aborɔnoma a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ne sika adura wɔn ntaban so.”
Though ye have lain among the pots, [yet shall ye be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 Ɛberɛ a Otumfoɔ bɔɔ ahene a wɔwɔ asase no so hweteeɛ no, na ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma a agu Salmon so.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as snow in Salmon.
15 Basan mmepɔ gyinagyina hɔ, Basan mmepɔ so yɛ mmɔnkyi mmɔnka.
The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; a high hill [as] the hill of Bashan.
16 Ao mmepɔ mmɔnkyi mmɔnka, adɛn enti na mode ani bɔne hwɛ bepɔ a Onyankopɔn ayi sɛ ɔbɛdi so ɔhene, baabi a Awurade ankasa bɛtena afebɔɔ?
Why leap ye, ye lofty hills? [this is] the hill [which] God desireth to dwell in; yes, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.
17 Onyankopɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ ɔpedu mpem mpem ne ɔpepem mpem mpem; Awurade firi Sinai aba ne kronkronbea.
The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even] thousands of angels: the LORD [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy [place].
18 Ɛberɛ a woforo kɔɔ soro no, wode nnommumfoɔ kaa wo ho; wonyaa ayɛyɛdeɛ firii nnipa hɔ, firii atuatefoɔ hɔ mpo, sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wobɛtena hɔ, Ao Awurade Onyankopɔn.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yes, [for] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].
19 Ayɛyie nka Awurade Onyankopɔn, yɛn Agyenkwa, deɛ ɔsoa yɛn nnesoa da biara no.
Blessed [be] the LORD, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits], [even] the God of our salvation. (Selah)
20 Yɛn Onyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔgye nkwa; na Awurade na ɔgye yɛn firi owuo mu.
[He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and to God the LORD [belong] the issues from death.
21 Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn bɛyam nʼatamfoɔ ti, wɔn a wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne no.
But God will wound the head of his enemies, [and] the hairy scalp of such one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 Awurade ka sɛ, “Mede wɔn bɛfiri Basan aba; mede wɔn bɛfiri ɛpo bunu mu aba,
The LORD said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea.
23 na moanante wɔn a wɔkyiri moɔ no mogya mu na mo nkraman tɛkrɛma anya wɔn kyɛfa.”
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 Ao Onyankopɔn, yɛahunu wo santen yuu no, me Onyankopɔn ne me Ɔhene santen yuu no a ɔde reba ne kronkronbea hɔ.
They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 Nnwontofoɔ no wɔ animu, ɛnna asankubɔfoɔ no nso di so, na mmabaawa a wɔrewoso akasaeɛ nso ka wɔn ho.
The singers went before, the players on instruments [followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Monkamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asafo kɛseɛ no mu; monkamfo Awurade wɔ Israel nipakuo no mu.
Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the LORD, from the fountain of Israel.
27 Abusuakuo ketewa Benyamin na ɔdi wɔn ɛkan, Yuda mmapɔmma kuo kɛseɛ no di so, na Sebulon ne Naftali mmapɔmma aba.
There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the princes of Judah [and] their counsel, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the princes of Naphtali.
28 Kyerɛ wo tumi, Onyankopɔn; da wʼahoɔden adi kyerɛ yɛn, sɛdeɛ woayɛ pɛn no.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Wʼasɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem enti ahemfo de ayɛyɛdeɛ bɛbrɛ wo.
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to thee.
30 Ka aboa a ɔhyɛ demmire mu no anim, ne anantwinini kuo a wɔhyɛ amanaman no anantwie mma mu no. Brɛ wɔn ase kɔsi sɛ wɔde dwetɛ mpɔ bɛba. Bɔ wɔn a wɔn ani gye ɔko ho no pansam.
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one shall] submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that] delight in war.
31 Ananmusifoɔ bɛfiri Misraim aba, na Kus de ne ho bɛma Onyankopɔn.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Cush shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
32 Ao ewiase ahennie, monto dwom mma Onyankopɔn, monto ayɛyi dwom mma Awurade,
Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises [to] the LORD; (Selah)
33 monto mma deɛ ɔte tete soro soro so no, na ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobɔ mu no.
To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a mighty voice.
34 Mompae mu nka Onyankopɔn tumi, deɛ ne kɛseyɛ hata Israel so no, na ne tumi wɔ soro soro no.
Ascribe ye strength to God: his excellence [is] over Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.
35 Wo ho yɛ nwanwa, Onyankopɔn, wɔwo kronkronbea hɔ; Israel Onyankopɔn de tumi ne ahoɔden ma ne nkurɔfoɔ. Ayɛyie nka Onyankopɔn! Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔto no sɛ “Sukooko.”
O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power to [his] people. Blessed [be] God.
