< Psalms 107 >

1 Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love continues forever!
Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó ṣeun; nítorí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
2 Let those the Lord has saved say that they are saved; those he has rescued from the power of the enemy.
Jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹni ìràpadà Olúwa kí ó wí báyìí, àwọn ẹni tí ó rà padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá,
3 He has gathered them together from distant lands, from the east and the west, the north and the south.
àwọn tí ó kójọ láti ilẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, láti ìlà-oòrùn àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, láti àríwá àti Òkun wá.
4 They wandered in the desert wilderness, unable to find a way to a city where they could live.
Wọ́n ń rìn káàkiri ní aginjù ní ibi tí ọ̀nà kò sí, wọn kò rí ọ̀nà lọ sí ìlú níbi tí wọn ó máa gbé.
5 Hungry and thirsty, they became very discouraged.
Ebi ń pa wọn, òǹgbẹ gbẹ wọ́n, ó sì rẹ ọkàn wọn nínú wọn.
6 Then they cried out to the Lord to help them in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
Ní ìgbà náà, wọ́n kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ìrora wọn
7 He led them along a straight way to a city where they could live.
Ó fi ọ̀nà títọ́ hàn wọ́n sí ìlú tí wọn lè máa gbé.
8 Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn máa yin Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn,
9 For he gives drink to those who are thirsty, and food to those who are hungry.
nítorí tí ó tẹ́ ìfẹ́ ọkàn lọ́run ó sì fi ìre fún ọkàn tí ebi ń pa.
10 Some sat in complete darkness, prisoners of misery and bound with iron chains,
Ọ̀pọ̀ jókòó nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, a dè wọ́n ní ìrora àti ní irin,
11 for they had rebelled against what God had said; they had rejected the guidance of the Most High.
nítorí tí wọ́n ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n kẹ́gàn ìbáwí Ọ̀gá-ògo,
12 So he humbled their pride with the troubles of life; they tripped over and no one was there to stop them falling.
Ó sì fi ìkorò rẹ àyà wọn sílẹ̀; wọn ṣubú, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́.
13 Then they called out to the Lord for help in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
Ní ìgbà náà wọ́n ké pe Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì gbà wọ́n nínú ìṣòro wọn
14 He brought them out of complete darkness, he broke their chains to pieces.
Ó mú wọn jáde kúrò nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, ó sì fa irin tí wọ́n fi dè wọ́n já.
15 Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa! Nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí ọmọ ènìyàn.
16 For he breaks down the bronze doors, and cuts through the iron bars.
Nítorí tí ó já ìlẹ̀kùn idẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ó sì ké irin wọn ní agbede-méjì.
17 They were stupid because they rebelled; they suffered for their sins.
Ọ̀pọ̀ di aṣiwèrè nítorí ìrékọjá wọn wọ́n sì pọ́n wọn lójú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
18 They didn't want to eat; they were at death's door.
Wọ́n kọ gbogbo oúnjẹ wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ikú.
19 Then they called out to the Lord for help in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
Nígbà náà wọ́n kígbe sí Olúwa nínú ìṣòro wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú ìdààmú wọn.
20 He gave the command and he healed them; he saved them from the grave.
Ó rán ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, ara wọn sì dá ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú isà òkú.
21 Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọ́n fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
22 Let them present thank offerings and sing with joy about what he has done.
Jẹ́ kí wọn rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ kí wọn kí ó fi ayọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
23 Those who set sail in ships, crossing the seas to earn their living,
Àwọn tí ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Òkun nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, wọ́n jẹ́ oníṣòwò nínú omi ńlá.
24 they have seen the Lord's incredible power at work—the wonderful things he did in the deepest oceans.
Wọ́n rí iṣẹ́ Olúwa, àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ nínú ibú.
25 He only had to speak to cause a stormy wind that stirred up towering waves,
Nítorí tí ó pàṣẹ, ó sì mú ìjì fẹ́ tí ó gbé ríru rẹ̀ sókè.
26 lifting the ships high in the air and then plunging them down. The sailors were so terrified that their courage melted away.
Wọ́n gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run wọ́n sì tún sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibú: nítorí ìpọ́njú, ọkàn wọn di omi.
27 They staggered around, falling from side to side like drunks—all their seamanship skills were useless.
Wọ́n ń ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n bí ọ̀mùtí ènìyàn: ọgbọ́n wọn sì dé òpin.
28 Then they cried out to the Lord to help them in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
Nígbà náà wọ́n ń kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì mú wọn jáde nínú ìṣòro wọn.
29 He calmed the storm, the waves were quiet.
Ó sọ ìjì di ìdákẹ́rọ́rọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ríru omi rẹ̀ dúró jẹ́ẹ́.
30 The sailors were so happy when it all calmed down, and he brought them to the harbor they wanted.
Inú wọn dùn nígbà tí ara wọn balẹ̀, ó mú wọn lọ sí ibi tí ọkàn wọn lọ.
31 Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
32 Let them say how wonderful he is in front of the whole congregation and the elders.
Jẹ́ kí wọn gbé e ga ní àárín àwọn ènìyàn kí wọn kí ó sì yìn ín ní ìjọ àwọn àgbàgbà.
33 He dries up rivers and turns the land into a desert; the water springs stop flowing and the earth turns dry and dusty.
Ó sọ odò di aginjù, àti orísun omi di ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
34 Fruitful ground becomes a salty wasteland because of the wickedness of those living there.
Ilẹ̀ eléso di aṣálẹ̀ nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.
35 But he also turns around and makes pools of water in the desert, and makes water springs flow in a dry and dusty land.
O sọ aginjù di adágún omi àti ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ di orísun omi,
36 He brings hungry people to live there—a place they can build their cities.
níbẹ̀ ó mú ẹni tí ebi ń pa wà, wọ́n sì pilẹ̀ ibi tí wọn ó máa gbé.
37 They sow their fields and plant their vineyards, producing a good harvest.
Wọn fún irúgbìn, wọ́n sì gbin ọgbà àjàrà tí yóò máa so èso tí ó dára;
38 He takes care of them, and their numbers increase dramatically—their cattle too!
Ó bùkún wọn, wọ́n sì pọ̀ sí i ní iye kò sí jẹ́ kí ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn kí ó dínkù.
39 When they become few, brought low by oppression, misery, and sorrow,
Nígbà náà, ọjọ́ wọn kúrú, ìnira, ìpọ́njú àti ìṣòro wọn sì dínkù,
40 He pours out his contempt on their leaders, making them wander, lost in the wilderness.
ẹni tí ó da ẹ̀gàn lu ọmọ-aládé ó sì mú wọn rìn níbi tí ọ̀nà kò sí.
41 But he lifts the poor out of their troubles, and makes their families as big as flocks.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó gbé aláìní sókè kúrò nínú ìnira ó mú ìdílé wọn pọ̀ bí agbo ẹran.
42 Those who live right will observe what is happening and be glad, but the wicked will be silenced.
Àwọn tí ó dúró sì rí i, inú wọn sì dùn ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo olùṣe búburú yóò pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́.
43 Those who are wise will pay attention to all this, and thoughtfully reflect on the Lord's trustworthy love.
Ẹni tí ó bá gbọ́n, jẹ́ kí ó kíyèsi nǹkan wọ̀nyí kí ó wo títóbi ìfẹ́ Olúwa.
