Psalms 107
1 “Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time”:
“Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.”
2 Let the redeemed of YHWH say [so], Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
Ke lea pehē ʻe he kakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova, ʻakinautolu kuo ne huhuʻi mei he nima ʻoe fili;
3 And has gathered them from the lands, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
Pea tānaki ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi fonua, mei he potu hahake, pea mei he potu lulunga, mei he potu tokelau, pea mei he feituʻu tonga.
4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, They have not found a city of habitation.
Naʻa nau ʻalu fano pē ʻi he toafa ʻi he hala liʻaki; naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha kolo ke nofo ai.
5 Hungry—indeed—thirsty, Their soul becomes feeble in them,
Pea ʻi he fiekaia mo e fieinua, naʻe pongia ai honau laumālie ʻiate kinautolu.
6 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He delivers them from their distress,
Pea naʻa nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ne ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
7 And causes them to tread in a right way, To go to a city of habitation.
Pea naʻa ne tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala totonu, koeʻuhi kenau hoko ki he kolo naʻe kakai.
8 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
9 For He has satisfied a longing soul, And has filled a hungry soul [with] goodness.
He ʻoku ne fakamākona ʻae laumālie ʻoku holi, mo ne fakapito ʻaki ʻae lelei ʻae laumālie ʻoku fiekaia.
10 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
Ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fakapoʻuli pea mo e ʻata ʻae mate, kuo haʻi ʻaki ʻae mamahi mo e ukamea;
11 Because they changed the saying of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High.
Koeʻuhi naʻa nau angatuʻu ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua, mo nau fehiʻa ki he akonaki ʻae fungani Māʻolunga:
12 And He humbles their heart with labor, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
Ko ia naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi honau loto ʻi he ngāue; naʻa nau tō ki lalo, pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke tokoni.
13 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses.
Pea naʻa nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
14 He brings them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And He draws away their bands.
Naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fakapoʻuli mo e ʻata ʻoe mate, ʻo ne motuhi honau ngaahi haʻi.
15 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
16 For He has broken doors of bronze, And He has cut bars of iron.
He kuo ne maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi matapā palasa, pea ne tutuʻu ʻae ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu.
17 Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
ʻOku mamahi ʻae kau vale koeʻuhi ko ʻenau talangataʻa, pea mo ʻenau ngaahi hia.
18 Their soul detests all food, And they come near to the gates of death,
ʻOku fehiʻa honau laumālie ki he meʻakai kotoa pē; pea ʻoku nau fakaʻaʻau ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe mate.
19 And cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses,
Pea ʻoku nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
20 He sends His word and heals them, And delivers [them] from their destructions.
Naʻa ne fekau ʻene folofola, pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, mo ne fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakaʻauha.
21 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
22 And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
Pea tuku kenau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi, mo fakahā ʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻi he fiefia.
23 Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
Ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he tahi ʻi he ngaahi vaka, mo fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he ngaahi vai lahi;
24 They have seen the works of YHWH, And His wonders in the deep.
ʻOku nau mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he moana.
25 And He commands, and appoints a storm, And it lifts up its billows,
He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia, pea ʻoku fakatupu ʻae matangi mālohi, ʻaia ʻoku tupu hake ai hono ngaahi peau.
26 They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul is melted in evil.
ʻOku nau ʻalu hake ki he langi, ʻoku nau toe ʻalu hifo ki he ngaahi loloto: kuo vela ʻo vai honau laumālie koeʻuhi ko e mamahi.
27 They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
ʻOku nau tasipa, pea luelue ʻo hangē ko e tangata konā, pea kuo mole honau poto kotoa pē.
28 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, And He brings them out from their distresses.
ʻOku nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ʻoku ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
29 He calms a whirlwind, And their billows are hushed.
ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻae afā ke tofukī, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ngaue ai hono peau.
30 And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leads them to the haven of their desire.
Pea ʻoku nau toki fiefia koeʻuhi ʻoku nau fiemālie ai; pea ʻoku ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he taulanga kuo nau holi ki ai.
31 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
32 And they exalt Him in [the] assembly of [the] people, And praise Him in [the] seat of [the] elderly.
Tuku kenau fakahikihiki ʻa ʻene ʻafio ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kakai, mo fakamālō
33 He makes rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
ʻOku liliu ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ko e toafa, mo e ngaahi matavai ko e kelekele mōmoa;
34 A fruitful land becomes a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
Mo e fonua mahu ko e hongea, koeʻuhi ko e angakovi ʻae kakai ʻoku nofo ai.
35 He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
ʻOku ne liliu ʻae toafa ko e ano vai, mo e fonua mōmoa ko e ngaahi matavai.
36 And He causes the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
Pea ʻoku ne pule ke nofo ai ʻae fiekaia, koeʻuhi kenau teuteu ʻae kolo ke nofo ai;
37 And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
Mo tūtuuʻi ʻae ngaahi ngoue, pea tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, ʻaia ʻoku faʻa ʻomi ʻae ngaahi fua kuo tupu.
38 And He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, And He does not diminish their livestock.
ʻOku ne fakamonūʻia foki ʻakinautolu, ko ia kuo nau tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tuku ke fakaʻaʻau ke siʻi ʻenau fanga manu.
39 And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
Pea ʻoku toe fakaʻaʻau ke tokosiʻi mo vaivai ʻakinautolu ʻi he fakamālohi, mo e mahaki, mo e mamahi.
40 He is pouring contempt on nobles, And causes them to wander in vacancy—no way.
ʻOku ne lilingi ʻae manuki ki he ngaahi ʻeiki, pea ʻoku ne pule kenau ʻalu fano ʻi he toafa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha hala ʻi ai.
41 And sets the needy on high from affliction, And places families as a flock.
Ka ʻoku ne hiki hake ʻae masiva mei he mamahi, pea ʻoku ne ngaohi maʻana ʻae ngaahi kāinga ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi.
42 The upright see and rejoice, And all perversity has shut her mouth.
ʻE mamata ki ai ʻae angatonu, pea fiefia; pea ʻe tāpuni ʻe he angahala kotoa pē hono ngutu.
43 Who [is] wise, and observes these? They understand the kind acts of YHWH!
Ko hai ʻoku poto, pea tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, tenau ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻa Sihova.
