Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova; ui ki hono huafa: fakahā ʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
2 Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
Hiva kiate ia, hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi saame kiate ia: mou talanoa ʻaki ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo kotoa pē.
3 Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
Mou vikiviki ʻi hono huafa māʻoniʻoni: tuku ke fiefia ʻae loto ʻokinautolu ʻoku nau kumi kia Sihova.
4 Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
Kumi kia Sihova, mo hono mālohi: kumi maʻuaipē ki hono fofonga.
5 You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
Manatu ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻaia kuo ne fai; ʻa ʻene ngaahi mana, mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻa hono fofonga;
ʻAkimoutolu ʻae hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fānau ʻa Sēkope ʻaia kuo ne fili.
7 He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
Ko ia, ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻi māmani kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakamaau.
8 He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
Kuo manatu ʻe ia ki heʻene fuakava ʻo lauikuonga, ko e folofola ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki he toʻutangata ʻe taha afe.
9 that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
ʻA e fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo ʻEpalahame, pea mo ʻene fuakava kia ʻAisake;
10 [Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
Pea ne fokotuʻumaʻu ia kia Sēkope ko e fono, pea kia ʻIsileli ko e fuakava taʻengata:
11 What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
ʻO ne pehē, “Te u foaki kiate koe ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, ko e fuofua ʻo homou tofiʻa:”
12 [He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
ʻI he lolotonga naʻe tokosiʻi pe honau kau tangata; ʻio, ko e tokosiʻi ʻaupito, mo e kau muli ʻi ai.
13 They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
Lolotonga ʻa ʻenau ʻalu mei he faʻahinga ʻe taha ki ha faʻahinga kehe, pea mei he puleʻanga ʻe taha ki he kakai kehe;
14 But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
Naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke fai kovi ʻe ha tangata ʻe taha kiate kinautolu: ʻio, naʻa ne valoki ʻae ngaahi tuʻi koeʻuhi ko kinautolu;
15 “Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
ʻO ne pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ala kiate ia kuo u pani, pea ʻoua naʻa fai kovi ki heʻeku kau palōfita.”
16 He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
Pea naʻa ne ui foki ke hoko ʻae honge ki he fonua: naʻa ne fesiʻi ʻae tokotoko kotoa pē ʻoe mā,
17 So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
Naʻa ne fekau ʻae tangata ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu, ʻio, ko Siosefa ʻaia naʻe fakatau ke tamaioʻeiki:
18 [Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
Pea naʻa nau fakamamahiʻi hono vaʻe ʻaki ʻae ngaahi haʻi: naʻe tuia ia ʻe he ukamea:
19 There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
ʻO aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻe hoko ai ʻene lea: naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi ia ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova.
20 The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
Naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke vete ia; ʻio, ʻe he pule ʻoe kakai, pea naʻa ne tukuange ia ke tauʻatāina pe.
21 [Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
Naʻa ne fakanofo ia ko e ʻeiki ʻo hono fale, mo e pule ʻo ʻene koloa kotoa pē:
22 (Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
Ke haʻisia hono ngaahi ʻeiki ko ʻene faʻiteliha; mo akonakiʻi ʻa ʻene kau mātuʻa ʻi he poto.
23 Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
Naʻe haʻu foki ʻa ʻIsileli ki ʻIsipite pea naʻe ʻāunofo ʻa Sēkope ʻi he fonua ʻo Hami.
24 And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
Pea naʻa ne fakatupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito ʻa hono kakai; pea ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu kenau mālohi hake ʻi honau ngaahi fili.
25 [So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
Naʻa ne liliu honau loto kenau fehiʻa ki hono kakai, kenau fai kākā ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
26 [But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
Naʻa ne fekau atu ʻa Mōsese ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki; mo ʻElone ʻaia naʻa ne fili.
27 Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
Naʻa ne fakahā hono ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻiate kinautolu, mo e ngaahi meʻa mana ʻi he fonua ʻo Hami.
28 Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
Naʻe fekau ʻe ia ki he fakapoʻuli, pea ngaohi ia ko e poʻuli; pea naʻe ʻikai angatuʻu ʻakinautolu ki heʻene folofola.
29 Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
Naʻa ne liliu honau ngaahi vai ko e toto, mo tāmateʻi ʻenau ika.
30 [Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
Naʻe tupu ʻi honau fonua ʻae fanga poto ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ʻi he ngaahi loki ʻo honau ngaahi tuʻi.
31 [Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
Naʻe folofola ia, pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi lango kehekehe, mo e fanga kutu ʻi honau fonua.
32 Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
Naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae ʻuha maka kiate kinautolu ko e fetongi ʻoe ʻuha, mo e afi ʻoku ulo ʻi honau fonua.
33 The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
Naʻa ne taaʻi foki ʻenau ngaahi vaine, mo ʻenau ngaahi ʻakau ko e fiki; pea fesiʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻo honau fonua.
34 He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
Naʻa ne folofola, pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae fanga heʻe, mo e ngaahi ʻunufe ʻoku taʻefaʻalaua.
35 The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
Pea naʻa nau kai ke ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē ʻi honau fonua, pea nau fakaʻauha ʻae fua ʻo ʻenau ngoue.
36 [Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
Naʻa ne taaʻi foki ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi honau fonua, ko e fungani ʻo ʻenau mālohi kotoa pē.
37 Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
Naʻa ne ʻomi foki ʻakinautolu mo e siliva mo e koula: pea naʻe ʻikai ai ha tokotaha naʻe vaivai ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
38 [The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
Naʻe fiefia ʻa ʻIsipite ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hē naʻe tō kiate kinautolu ʻae manavahē koeʻuhi ko kinautolu.
39 [Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
Naʻa ne fofola ʻae ʻao ko e fakamalu pea mo e afi ke fakamaama ʻi he pō.
40 [Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
Naʻe kole ʻe he kakai, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae fanga manupuna, mo ne fakamākona ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae mā ʻoe langi.
41 [One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
Naʻa ne fakaava ʻae maka, pea ʻoho mai ʻae ngaahi vai; pea naʻe tafe ia ʻi he ngaahi potu mōmoa ʻo hangē ko e vaitafe.
42 [He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
He naʻa ne manatu ki heʻene talaʻofa māʻoniʻoni, mo ʻEpalahame ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
43 So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
Pea ne ʻomi hono kakai ʻi he fiefia, mo kinautolu kuo ne fili ʻi he nekeneka:
44 He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
Pea ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi fonua ʻoe hiteni, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ngāue ʻae kakai
45 [Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
Koeʻuhi kenau tokanga ki heʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
