Psalms 147
1 Praise ye Jah! for it is good. Sing psalms of our God; for it is pleasant: praise is comely.
Mou fakamālō kia Sihova: he ʻoku lelei ke hiva fakamālō ki hotau ʻOtua; he ʻoku mālie ia; pea ʻoku ngali ʻae fakamālō.
2 Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth the outcasts of Israel.
ʻOku langa hake ʻe Sihova ʻa Selūsalema: ʻoku ne tānaki fakataha ʻae kau ʻIsileli naʻe fakahēʻi
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
ʻOku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻoku loto mafesi, ʻo ne nonoʻo honau ngaahi lavea.
4 He counteth the number of the stars; he giveth names to them all.
ʻOku ne tala hono lau ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu; ʻoku ne ui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi honau ngaahi hingoa.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
Ko hotau ʻEiki ʻoku lahi ia, pea lahi hono mālohi: ko ʻene ʻilo ʻoku taʻengata.
6 Jehovah lifteth up the meek; he abaseth the wicked to the earth.
ʻOku hiki hake ʻe Sihova ʻae angamalū: ʻoku lī ʻe ia ʻae angahala ki he kelekele.
7 Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing psalms upon the harp unto our God:
Hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi; hiva fakamālō ʻi he haʻape ki hotau ʻOtua:
8 Who covereth the heavens with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains;
ʻAia ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae langi ʻae ngaahi ʻao, ʻoku ne teuteu ʻae ʻuha ki he kelekele, mo ne fakatupu ʻae mohuku ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.
9 Who giveth to the cattle their food, to the young ravens which cry.
ʻOku ne foaki ki he manu ʻene meʻakai, pea ki he fanga leveni iiki ʻaia ʻoku tangi.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse, he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man;
ʻOku ʻikai fiefia ia ʻi he mālohi ʻoe hoosi: ʻoku ʻikai fiefia ia ʻi he kau vaʻe ʻoe tangata.
11 Jehovah taketh pleasure in those that fear him, in those that hope in his loving-kindness.
ʻOku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia, ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻamanaki ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa.
12 Laud Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
Fakamālō kia Sihova, ʻE Selūsalema; fakamālō ki ho ʻOtua, ʻE Saione.
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee;
He kuo ne fakamālohi ʻae ngaahi songo ʻo ho ngaahi matapā; kuo ne tāpuakiʻi hoʻo fānau ʻi loto ʻiate koe.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders; he satisfieth thee with the finest of the wheat.
ʻOku fakatupu ʻe ia ʻae melino ʻi ho ngaahi potu, pea ʻoku ne fakamahu ʻaki koe ʻae uite ʻoku fungani lelei.
15 He sendeth forth his oracles to the earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
ʻOku ne tuku atu ʻene fekau ki māmani: ʻoku vave ʻaupito ʻae lele atu ʻo ʻene folofola,
16 He giveth snow like wool, scattereth the hoar frost like ashes;
ʻOku ne foaki ʻae ʻuha hinehina ʻo hangē ko e fulufuluʻi sipi: ʻoku ne tūtuuʻi ʻae hahau kuo fefeka ʻo hangē ko e efuefu.
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
ʻOku ne laku atu ʻae ʻuha maka ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi momoʻi meʻa siʻi: ko hai ʻe faʻa kātaki hono momoko?
18 He sendeth his word, and melteth them; he causeth his wind to blow — the waters flow.
ʻOku ne fekau atu ʻene folofola, pea ʻoku vai ai ia: ʻoku ne pule ke angi ʻene matangi, pea ʻoku tafe atu ʻae ngaahi vai.
19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
ʻOku ne fakahā ʻene folofola kia Sēkope, ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau ki ʻIsileli.
20 He hath not dealt thus with any nation; and as for [his] judgments, they have not known them. Hallelujah!
Naʻe ʻikai te ne fai pehē ki ha puleʻanga ʻe taha: pea ko ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ki ai. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
