Psalms 147
1 Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing vnto our God: for it is a pleasant thing, and 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 The Lord doth builde vp Ierusalem, and gather together the dispersed of Israel.
ʻOku langa hake ʻe Sihova ʻa Selūsalema: ʻoku ne tānaki fakataha ʻae kau ʻIsileli naʻe fakahēʻi
3 He healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth vp their sores.
ʻOku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻoku loto mafesi, ʻo ne nonoʻo honau ngaahi lavea.
4 He counteth the nomber of the starres, and calleth them all by their names.
ʻOku ne tala hono lau ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu; ʻoku ne ui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi honau ngaahi hingoa.
5 Great is our Lord, and great is his power: his wisdome is infinite.
Ko hotau ʻEiki ʻoku lahi ia, pea lahi hono mālohi: ko ʻene ʻilo ʻoku taʻengata.
6 The Lord relieueth the meeke, and abaseth the wicked to the ground.
ʻOku hiki hake ʻe Sihova ʻae angamalū: ʻoku lī ʻe ia ʻae angahala ki he kelekele.
7 Sing vnto the Lord with prayse: sing vpon the harpe vnto our God,
Hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi; hiva fakamālō ʻi he haʻape ki hotau ʻOtua:
8 Which couereth the heauen with cloudes, and prepareth raine for the earth, and maketh the grasse to growe vpon the mountaines:
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 Which giueth to beasts their foode, and to the yong rauens that crie.
ʻOku ne foaki ki he manu ʻene meʻakai, pea ki he fanga leveni iiki ʻaia ʻoku tangi.
10 He hath not pleasure in the strength of an horse, neither delighteth he in the legs of man.
ʻOku ʻikai fiefia ia ʻi he mālohi ʻoe hoosi: ʻoku ʻikai fiefia ia ʻi he kau vaʻe ʻoe tangata.
11 But the Lord deliteth in them that feare him, and attende vpon his mercie.
ʻOku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia, ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻamanaki ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa.
12 Prayse the Lord, O Ierusalem: prayse thy God, O Zion.
Fakamālō kia Sihova, ʻE Selūsalema; fakamālō ki ho ʻOtua, ʻE Saione.
13 For he hath made the barres of thy gates strong, and 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 setteth peace in thy borders, and satisfieth thee with the floure of wheate.
ʻOku fakatupu ʻe ia ʻae melino ʻi ho ngaahi potu, pea ʻoku ne fakamahu ʻaki koe ʻae uite ʻoku fungani lelei.
15 He sendeth foorth his commandement vpon earth, and his worde runneth very swiftly.
ʻOku ne tuku atu ʻene fekau ki māmani: ʻoku vave ʻaupito ʻae lele atu ʻo ʻene folofola,
16 He giueth snowe like wooll, and scattereth the hoare 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 foorth his yce like morsels: who can abide the colde thereof?
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 worde and melteth them: he causeth his winde to blowe, and the waters flowe.
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 vnto Iaakob, his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.
ʻOku ne fakahā ʻene folofola kia Sēkope, ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau ki ʻIsileli.
20 He hath not dealt so with euery nation, neither haue they knowen his iudgements. Prayse ye the Lord.
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.
