< Psalms 104 >

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa hoku laumālie. ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ke lahi ʻaupito; kuo kofuʻaki koe ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e māfimafi.
2 Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
‌ʻOku ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae maama ʻo hangē ko e kofu: ʻoku ke fofola atu ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo hangē ko e puipui:
3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
‌ʻOku ne ʻai ʻae ngaahi utupoto ʻo hono ngaahi fale ʻi he ngaahi vai: pea ko ʻene saliote ʻae ngaahi ʻao: pea ʻoku hāʻele ia ʻi he ngaahi kapakau ʻoe matangi:
4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
‌ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻene kau ʻāngelo ke hangē ko e matangi; mo ʻene kau faifekau ko e afi ʻoku ulo:
5 [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever.
Naʻa ne ʻai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani, ke ʻoua naʻa ueʻi ia ʻo lauikuonga.
6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
‌ʻOku ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae loloto ʻo hangē ko e kofu: naʻe tuʻu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo māʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.
7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
‌ʻI hoʻo valoki naʻa nau puna; ʻi he leʻo ʻo hoʻo fatulisi naʻa nau hola ai.
8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys to the place which thou hast founded for them.
‌ʻOku nau ʻalu hake ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea nau ʻalu hifo ʻi he ngaahi vahaʻa moʻunga, ki he potu kuo ke teuteu ki ai.
9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Kuo ke ʻai hono ngataʻanga ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu atu ia ʻi ai; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe haʻu ia ke lōfia ʻa māmani.
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the hills.
‌ʻOku ne fekau atu ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻi he ngaahi luo, ʻaia ʻoku tafe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi foʻi moʻunga.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
‌ʻOku inu mei ai ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao: pea ʻoku inu ʻo fiu ai ʻae fanga ʻasi hehengi.
12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, [which] sing among the branches.
‌ʻOku maʻu ʻi ai ʻe he manupuna ʻoe ʻatā honau nofoʻanga, ʻoku nau hiva ʻi he ngaahi vaʻa.
13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
‌ʻOku ne fakaviviku ʻae ngaahi foʻi moʻunga mei hono fale ʻafioʻanga: ʻoku mākona ʻae kelekele ʻi he fua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue.
14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
‌ʻOku fakatupu ʻe ia ʻae mohuku maʻae fanga manu, mo e ʻakau ke ʻaonga ki he tangata: koeʻuhi ke ne ʻomi ʻae meʻakai mei he kelekele;
15 And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's heart.
Mo e uaine ʻaia ʻoku fakafiefiaʻi ʻae loto ʻoe tangata, mo e lolo ke fakangingila hono mata, mo e mā ke fakamālohi ʻae loto ʻoe tangata.
16 The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
‌ʻOku fonu ʻi he huhuʻa ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻo Sihova; ko e ngaahi sita ʻo Lepanoni, ʻaia kuo ne tō;
17 Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the fir-trees [are] her house.
‌ʻOku ngaohi ʻi ai ʻe he fanga manupuna honau pununga: pea ko e sitoaka, ko hono fale ko e ngaahi ʻakau ko e paini.
18 The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and] the rocks for the conies.
Ko e ngaahi foʻi moʻunga māʻolunga ko e hūfanga ia ʻoe fanga kosi hehengi; pea mo e ngaahi maka ki he fanga koni.
19 He appointeth the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
Naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻae māhina ki he ngaahi faʻahitaʻu: ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻe he laʻā hono tōʻanga.
20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: in which all the beasts of the forest do creep [forth].
‌ʻOku ke ngaohi ʻae poʻuli, pea ko e pō ia: pea ʻoku totolo atu ʻi ai ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
‌ʻOku ngungulu ʻae fanga laione mui ke maʻu ʻenau meʻa, pea nau kumi ʻenau meʻakai mei he ʻOtua.
22 The sun ariseth, they collect, and lay themselves down in their dens.
‌ʻOku hopo hake ʻae laʻā, pea ʻoku nau fakataha ai, ʻonau tokoto ʻi honau ngaahi ʻana.
23 Man goeth forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.
‌ʻOku ʻalu atu ʻae tangata ki heʻene ngāue, mo ʻene ngoue ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
‌ʻE Sihova, hono ʻikai lahi ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ngāue! Kuo ke ngaohi kotoa pē ia ʻi he poto: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi hoʻo koloa.
25 [So is] this great and wide sea, in which [are] creeping animals innumerable, both small and great beasts.
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻae tahi lahi ni mo laulahi, ʻa ia ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa totolo taʻefaʻalaua, ʻae fanga ika iiki mo e lalahi.
26 There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [which] thou hast made to play therein.
‌ʻOku ʻalu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi vaka: ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae levaiatani ko ia, ʻaia kuo ke ngaohi ke ne fakavā ai.
27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their food in due season.
‌ʻOku tatali ʻakinautolu ni kotoa pē kiate koe: koeʻuhi ke ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻenau meʻakai ʻi he feituʻulaʻā totonu.
28 [That which] thou givest them, they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.
Ko ia ʻoku ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau tānaki: ʻoku ke mafola ho nima, pea ʻoku pito ʻakinautolu ʻi he lelei.
29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
‌ʻOku ke fufū ho fofonga, pea nau mamahi ai: ʻoku ke toʻo atu ʻenau mānava, pea nau mate, pea foki ki honau efu.
30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
‌ʻOku ke fekau atu ho Laumālie, pea ʻoku fakatupu ai ʻakinautolu: pea ʻoku ke fakafoʻou ʻae funga ʻo māmani.
31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
‌ʻE tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova: ʻe fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue.
32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
‌ʻOku ʻafio ia ki māmani, pea tetetete ia: ʻoku ala ia ki he ngaahi foʻi moʻunga, pea ʻoku nau kohu ai.
33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
Te u hiva kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku kei moʻui: te u hiva fakamālō ki hoku ʻOtua ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
‌ʻE melie ʻa ʻeku fakakaukau kiate ia: te u fiefia ʻia Sihova.
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
Tuku ke ʻosiʻosingamālie ʻae kakai angahala mei māmani, pea ʻoua naʻa kei toe ʻae kau angakovi. Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa hoku laumālie. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
