< Psalms 107 >

1 BOOK FIFTH: Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for unto eternity endureth his kindness.
Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó ṣeun; nítorí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
2 Thus let the Lord's redeemed say, even those whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
Jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹni ìràpadà Olúwa kí ó wí báyìí, àwọn ẹni tí ó rà padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá,
3 And whom he hath gathered out of the [various] lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the sea.
àwọn tí ó kójọ láti ilẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, láti ìlà-oòrùn àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, láti àríwá àti Òkun wá.
4 They wandered about in the wilderness, in the desert path; they could not find an inhabited city:
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, their soul within them fainted.
Ebi ń pa wọn, òǹgbẹ gbẹ wọ́n, ó sì rẹ ọkàn wọn nínú wọn.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord when they were in distress, [and] out of their afflictions he delivered them.
Ní ìgbà náà, wọ́n kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ìrora wọn
7 And he led them forth on the right way, that they might go to an inhabited city.
Ó fi ọ̀nà títọ́ hàn wọ́n sí ìlú tí wọn lè máa gbé.
8 They [therefore] shall give thanks unto the Lord for his kindness, and [proclaim] his wonders to the children of men!
Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn máa yin Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn,
9 For he satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul he filled with good.—
nítorí tí ó tẹ́ ìfẹ́ ọkàn lọ́run ó sì fi ìre fún ọkàn tí ebi ń pa.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, bound in misery and [fetters of] iron; —
Ọ̀pọ̀ jókòó nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, a dè wọ́n ní ìrora àti ní irin,
11 Because they have rebelled against the words of God, and have contemned the counsel of the Most High;
nítorí tí wọ́n ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n kẹ́gàn ìbáwí Ọ̀gá-ògo,
12 And he humbled with trouble their heart; they stumbled, and there was none to help;
Ó sì fi ìkorò rẹ àyà wọn sílẹ̀; wọn ṣubú, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́.
13 But when they cry unto the Lord when they are in distress, he saveth them out of their afflictions;
Ní ìgbà náà wọ́n ké pe Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì gbà wọ́n nínú ìṣòro wọn
14 He bringeth them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and teareth their bands asunder.
Ó mú wọn jáde kúrò nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, ó sì fa irin tí wọ́n fi dè wọ́n já.
15 They [therefore] shall give thanks unto the Lord for his kindness, and [proclaim] his wonders to the children of men!
Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa! Nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí ọmọ ènìyàn.
16 For he hath broken the doors of copper, and the bolts of iron hath he hewn asunder.—
Nítorí tí ó já ìlẹ̀kùn idẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ó sì ké irin wọn ní agbede-méjì.
17 Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
Ọ̀pọ̀ di aṣiwèrè nítorí ìrékọjá wọn wọ́n sì pọ́n wọn lójú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
18 All manner of food their soul abhorreth; and they draw near unto the gates of death;
Wọ́n kọ gbogbo oúnjẹ wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ikú.
19 But when they cry unto the Lord when they are in distress, he saveth them out of their afflictions.
Nígbà náà wọ́n kígbe sí Olúwa nínú ìṣòro wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú ìdààmú wọn.
20 He sendeth his word and healeth them, and delivereth them from their graves.
Ó rán ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, ara wọn sì dá ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú isà òkú.
21 They [therefore] shall give thanks unto the Lord for his kindness, and [proclaim] his wonders to the children of men!
Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọ́n fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
22 They shall also sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and relate his deeds with joyful song.—
Jẹ́ kí wọn rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ kí wọn kí ó fi ayọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
23 They who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters; —
Àwọn tí ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Òkun nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, wọ́n jẹ́ oníṣòwò nínú omi ńlá.
24 These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders on the deep.
Wọ́n rí iṣẹ́ Olúwa, àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ nínú ibú.
25 For he spoke, and he raised the stormy wind, which lifteth up its waves.
Nítorí tí ó pàṣẹ, ó sì mú ìjì fẹ́ tí ó gbé ríru rẹ̀ sókè.
26 They would mount up to heaven, they would go down to the depths: their soul was melted because of their danger.
Wọ́n gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run wọ́n sì tún sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibú: nítorí ìpọ́njú, ọkàn wọn di omi.
27 They would reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was exhausted.
Wọ́n ń ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n bí ọ̀mùtí ènìyàn: ọgbọ́n wọn sì dé òpin.
28 And they cried unto the Lord when they were in distress, and he brought them out of their afflictions.
Nígbà náà wọ́n ń kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì mú wọn jáde nínú ìṣòro wọn.
29 He calmed the storm into a whisper, and stilled were the waves of the sea.
Ó sọ ìjì di ìdákẹ́rọ́rọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ríru omi rẹ̀ dúró jẹ́ẹ́.
30 And they were rejoiced because they were silent: and then he guided them unto their desired haven.
Inú wọn dùn nígbà tí ara wọn balẹ̀, ó mú wọn lọ sí ibi tí ọkàn wọn lọ.
31 They [therefore] shall give thanks unto the Lord for his kindness, and [proclaim] his wonders to the children of men!
Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
32 And they must exalt him in the congregation of the people, and in the assembly of the elders must they praise him.—
Jẹ́ kí wọn gbé e ga ní àárín àwọn ènìyàn kí wọn kí ó sì yìn ín ní ìjọ àwọn àgbàgbà.
33 He changeth rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into parched ground;
Ó sọ odò di aginjù, àti orísun omi di ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
34 A fruitful land into a salty waste, for the wickedness of those that dwell therein.
Ilẹ̀ eléso di aṣálẹ̀ nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.
35 He changeth the wilderness into a pool of water, and desert land into water-springs.
O sọ aginjù di adágún omi àti ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ di orísun omi,
36 And there he causeth to dwell the hungry, that they may found an inhabited city;
níbẹ̀ ó mú ẹni tí ebi ń pa wà, wọ́n sì pilẹ̀ ibi tí wọn ó máa gbé.
37 And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, that they may yield the fruits of the [annual] product.
Wọn fún irúgbìn, wọ́n sì gbin ọgbà àjàrà tí yóò máa so èso tí ó dára;
38 He also blesseth them, and they multiply greatly, and he suffereth not their cattle to diminish.
Ó bùkún wọn, wọ́n sì pọ̀ sí i ní iye kò sí jẹ́ kí ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn kí ó dínkù.
39 They were also diminished and bowed low through oppression, misfortune, and sorrow:
Nígbà náà, ọjọ́ wọn kúrú, ìnira, ìpọ́njú àti ìṣòro wọn sì dínkù,
40 He [then] poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in a pathless wilderness.
ẹni tí ó da ẹ̀gàn lu ọmọ-aládé ó sì mú wọn rìn níbi tí ọ̀nà kò sí.
41 And he exalteth the needy from misery, and maketh [his] families like flocks.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó gbé aláìní sókè kúrò nínú ìnira ó mú ìdílé wọn pọ̀ bí agbo ẹran.
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice; but all wickedness shall stop her mouth.
Àwọn tí ó dúró sì rí i, inú wọn sì dùn ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo olùṣe búburú yóò pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́.
43 Whoever is wise, let him observe these things, and let [all] understand the kindness of the Lord.
Ẹni tí ó bá gbọ́n, jẹ́ kí ó kíyèsi nǹkan wọ̀nyí kí ó wo títóbi ìfẹ́ Olúwa.
