< Psalms 106 >

1 Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova; he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise?
Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakamatala ki he ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻa Sihova? Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakahā ʻae fakamālō kotoa pē kiate ia?
3 Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he fakamaau, mo ia ʻoku fai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
4 Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatuʻi au ʻaki ʻae ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ʻaki ki hoʻo kakai: ke ke ʻaʻahi mai kiate au ʻaki hoʻo fakamoʻui;
5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
Koeʻuhi ke u mamata ki he lelei ʻo ia kuo ke fili, koeʻuhi ke u fiefia ʻi he fiefia ʻo ho puleʻanga, pea u vikiviki ai fakataha mo ho tofiʻa.
6 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
Ko kimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai kuo mau fai angahala, kuo mau fai ʻae ngaahi hia, kuo mau fai kovi.
7 Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi ʻIsipite; naʻe ʻikai tenau manatu ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa; ka naʻa nau fakahouhau kiate ia ʻi he tahi, ʻio, ʻi he Tahi Kulokula.
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
Ka naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko hono huafa, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻilo ʻa hono mālohi lahi.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
Naʻe valoki foki ʻe ia ʻae Tahi Kulokula, pea mōmoa ia: ko ia naʻa ne tataki ʻakinautolu ʻi he loloto, ʻo hangē ko e toafa.
10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻo ia naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu, mo ne huhuʻi ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe fili.
11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
Pea naʻe lōmakiʻi honau ngaahi fili ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vai: pea naʻe ʻikai hao ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu.
12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
Pea naʻa nau toki tui ki heʻene folofola; naʻa nau hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō kiate ia.
13 They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,
Naʻe ngalo leva ʻiate kinautolu ʻene ngaahi ngāue; pea naʻe ʻikai tenau tatali ki heʻene akonaki:
14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
Ka naʻa nau holi kovi ʻaupito ʻi he toafa, pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he potu lala.
15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
Pea naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻaia naʻa nau kole; ka naʻa ne fekau ʻae tutue ki honau laumālie.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.
Naʻa nau meheka foki kia Mōsese ʻi he loto ʻapitanga, mo ʻElone ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
Naʻe mafahi ʻae kelekele pea folo hifo ai ʻa Tatani, mo ʻufiʻufi ai ʻae kakai ʻo ʻEpilami.
18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
Pea naʻe tutu ai ʻae afi ʻi honau kakai; pea vela ke ʻosi ʻe he ulo afi ʻae kau angahala.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
Naʻa nau ngaohi ʻae fakatātā ʻoe ʻuhikiʻi pulu ʻi Holepi, pea lotu ki he fakatātā koula.
20 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
Naʻe pehē ʻenau liliu honau nāunau, ki he fakatātā ʻoe pulu ʻaia ʻoku kai mohuku.
21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
Naʻa nau fakangalongaloʻi ʻae ʻOtua ko honau fakamoʻui, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻi ʻIsipite;
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
Ko e ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Hami, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakailifia ʻi he Tahi Kulokula.
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
Ko ia naʻa ne pehē te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ka ne ʻikai tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he vahaʻa ʻa Mōsese ʻaia kuo ne fili, ke fakatafoki hono houhau, telia naʻa fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻakinautolu.
24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
‌ʻIo, naʻa nau fehiʻa ki he fonua lelei, naʻe ʻikai tenau tui ki heʻene folofola:
25 but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.
Ka naʻa nau lāunga ʻi honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo taʻetokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova.
26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
Ko ia naʻa ne hiki hake ai hono nima kiate kinautolu, ke tulaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa:
27 that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
Ke tulaki foki honau hako ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fonua.
28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Naʻa nau ului foki kia Peali-Peoli, mo nau kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe mate.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
Ko ia naʻa nau fakahouhauʻi ia ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi filioʻi: pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu.
30 Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Finiasi, ʻo fai ʻae fakamaau: pea naʻe lolomi ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
Pea naʻe lau ia kiate ia ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē ʻo lauikuonga.
32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
Naʻa nau fakahouhau kiate ia foki ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻoe fekeʻikeʻi, pea hoko ʻae kovi kia Mōsese koeʻuhi ko kinautolu:
33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakatupu hono loto, ko ia naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae lea taʻengali ʻe hono loungutu.
34 They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,
Naʻe ʻikai tenau fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu:
35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.
Ka naʻa nau nofo fakataha mo e hiteni, pea nau ʻilo ʻenau ngaahi ngāue.
36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
Pea naʻa nau tauhi honau ngaahi tamapua: ʻaia naʻe hoko ko e tauhele kiate kinautolu.
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
‌ʻIo, naʻa nau feilaulau ʻaki honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ki he kau tēvolo,
38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
Mo lilingi ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni, ko e toto ʻo honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻi he toto.
39 Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
Pea naʻe fakaʻuliʻi pehē ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngāue, pea nau fai feʻauaki ʻi heʻenau ngaahi filioʻi.
40 Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
Ko ia naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki hono kakai, pea ne fākaliliʻa ai ki hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
Pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe hiteni; pea naʻe pule kiate kinautolu ʻakinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
Pea naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe honau ngaahi fili, pea fakamoʻulaloa ʻakinautolu ki honau lalo nima.
43 He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
Naʻe liunga lahi ʻene fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu; ka naʻa nau fakahouhauʻi ia ʻi heʻenau fakakaukau, pea naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko ʻenau hia.
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
Ka naʻa ne tokanga ki heʻenau mamahi, ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻenau tangi:
45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Pea ne manatuʻi ʻa ʻene fuakava mo kinautolu, pea ne fakatomala ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
naʻa ne pule foki ke manavaʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻave pōpula ʻakinautolu.
47 Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
Fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, pea tānaki ʻakimautolu mei he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ke mau fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa māʻoniʻoni, pea hanuhanu ʻi he fakamālō kiate koe.
48 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah!
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova koe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli talu mei muʻa ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata; pea tuku ke lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻEmeni. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
