Saame 107
1 “Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.”
BOOK V 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
2 Ke lea pehē ʻe he kakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova, ʻakinautolu kuo ne huhuʻi mei he nima ʻoe fili;
So let the redeemed of the LORD say, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
3 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.
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.
4 Naʻa nau ʻalu fano pē ʻi he toafa ʻi he hala liʻaki; naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha kolo ke nofo ai.
They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation.
5 Pea ʻi he fiekaia mo e fieinua, naʻe pongia ai honau laumālie ʻiate kinautolu.
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Pea naʻa nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ne ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.
7 Pea naʻa ne tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala totonu, koeʻuhi kenau hoko ki he kolo naʻe kakai.
And He led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9 He ʻoku ne fakamākona ʻae laumālie ʻoku holi, mo ne fakapito ʻaki ʻae lelei ʻae laumālie ʻoku fiekaia.
For He hath satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul He hath filled with good.
10 Ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fakapoʻuli pea mo e ʻata ʻae mate, kuo haʻi ʻaki ʻae mamahi mo e ukamea;
Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron —
11 Koeʻuhi naʻa nau angatuʻu ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua, mo nau fehiʻa ki he akonaki ʻae fungani Māʻolunga:
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High.
12 Ko ia naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi honau loto ʻi he ngāue; naʻa nau tō ki lalo, pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke tokoni.
Therefore He humbled their heart with travail, they stumbled, and there was none to help —
13 Pea naʻa nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.
14 Naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fakapoʻuli mo e ʻata ʻoe mate, ʻo ne motuhi honau ngaahi haʻi.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.
15 Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16 He kuo ne maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi matapā palasa, pea ne tutuʻu ʻae ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu.
For He hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17 ʻOku mamahi ʻae kau vale koeʻuhi ko ʻenau talangataʻa, pea mo ʻenau ngaahi hia.
Crazed because of the way of their transgression, and afflicted because of their iniquities —
18 ʻOku fehiʻa honau laumālie ki he meʻakai kotoa pē; pea ʻoku nau fakaʻaʻau ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe mate.
Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death —
19 Pea ʻoku nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses;
20 Naʻa ne fekau ʻene folofola, pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, mo ne fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakaʻauha.
He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.
21 Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22 Pea tuku kenau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi, mo fakahā ʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻi he fiefia.
And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with singing.
23 Ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he tahi ʻi he ngaahi vaka, mo fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he ngaahi vai lahi;
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters —
24 ʻOku nau mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he moana.
These saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep;
25 He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia, pea ʻoku fakatupu ʻae matangi mālohi, ʻaia ʻoku tupu hake ai hono ngaahi peau.
For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof;
26 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.
They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; their soul melted away because of trouble;
27 ʻOku nau tasipa, pea luelue ʻo hangē ko e tangata konā, pea kuo mole honau poto kotoa pē.
They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was swallowed up —
28 ʻOku nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ʻoku ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.
29 ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻae afā ke tofukī, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ngaue ai hono peau.
He made the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof were still.
30 Pea ʻoku nau toki fiefia koeʻuhi ʻoku nau fiemālie ai; pea ʻoku ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he taulanga kuo nau holi ki ai.
Then were they glad because they were quiet, and He led them unto their desired haven.
31 Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Tuku kenau fakahikihiki ʻa ʻene ʻafio ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kakai, mo fakamālō
Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders.
33 ʻOku liliu ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ko e toafa, mo e ngaahi matavai ko e kelekele mōmoa;
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty ground;
34 Mo e fonua mahu ko e hongea, koeʻuhi ko e angakovi ʻae kakai ʻoku nofo ai.
A fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 ʻOku ne liliu ʻae toafa ko e ano vai, mo e fonua mōmoa ko e ngaahi matavai.
He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings.
36 Pea ʻoku ne pule ke nofo ai ʻae fiekaia, koeʻuhi kenau teuteu ʻae kolo ke nofo ai;
And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;
37 Mo tūtuuʻi ʻae ngaahi ngoue, pea tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, ʻaia ʻoku faʻa ʻomi ʻae ngaahi fua kuo tupu.
And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase.
38 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.
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 Pea ʻoku toe fakaʻaʻau ke tokosiʻi mo vaivai ʻakinautolu ʻi he fakamālohi, mo e mahaki, mo e mamahi.
Again, they are minished and dwindle away through oppression of evil and sorrow.
40 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.
He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
41 Ka ʻoku ne hiki hake ʻae masiva mei he mamahi, pea ʻoku ne ngaohi maʻana ʻae ngaahi kāinga ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi.
Yet setteth He the needy on high from affliction, and maketh his families like a flock.
42 ʻE mamata ki ai ʻae angatonu, pea fiefia; pea ʻe tāpuni ʻe he angahala kotoa pē hono ngutu.
The upright see it, and are glad; and all iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
43 Ko hai ʻoku poto, pea tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, tenau ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻa Sihova.
Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them consider the mercies of the LORD.
