Psalms 107
1 Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó ṣeun; nítorí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
2 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹni ìràpadà Olúwa kí ó wí báyìí, àwọn ẹni tí ó rà padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá,
Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;
3 àwọn tí ó kójọ láti ilẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, láti ìlà-oòrùn àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, láti àríwá àti Òkun wá.
Making them come together out of all the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4 Wọ́n ń rìn káàkiri ní aginjù ní ibi tí ọ̀nà kò sí, wọn kò rí ọ̀nà lọ sí ìlú níbi tí wọn ó máa gbé.
They were wandering in the waste places; they saw no way to a resting-place.
5 Ebi ń pa wọn, òǹgbẹ gbẹ wọ́n, ó sì rẹ ọkàn wọn nínú wọn.
Their souls became feeble for need of food and drink.
6 Ní ìgbà náà, wọ́n kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ìrora wọn
Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles;
7 Ó fi ọ̀nà títọ́ hàn wọ́n sí ìlú tí wọn lè máa gbé.
Guiding them in the right way, so that they might come into the town of their resting-place.
8 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn máa yin Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn,
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
9 nítorí tí ó tẹ́ ìfẹ́ ọkàn lọ́run ó sì fi ìre fún ọkàn tí ebi ń pa.
He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.
10 Ọ̀pọ̀ jókòó nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, a dè wọ́n ní ìrora àti ní irin,
Those who were in the dark, in the black night, in chains of sorrow and iron;
11 nítorí tí wọ́n ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n kẹ́gàn ìbáwí Ọ̀gá-ògo,
Because they went against the words of God, and gave no thought to the laws of the Most High:
12 Ó sì fi ìkorò rẹ àyà wọn sílẹ̀; wọn ṣubú, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́.
So that he made their hearts weighted down with grief; they were falling, and had no helper.
13 Ní ìgbà náà wọ́n ké pe Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì gbà wọ́n nínú ìṣòro wọn
Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles.
14 Ó mú wọn jáde kúrò nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, ó sì fa irin tí wọ́n fi dè wọ́n já.
He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.
15 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa! Nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí ọmọ ènìyàn.
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
16 Nítorí tí ó já ìlẹ̀kùn idẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ó sì ké irin wọn ní agbede-méjì.
The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.
17 Ọ̀pọ̀ di aṣiwèrè nítorí ìrékọjá wọn wọ́n sì pọ́n wọn lójú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
Foolish men, because of their sins, and because of their wrongdoing, are troubled;
18 Wọ́n kọ gbogbo oúnjẹ wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ikú.
They are disgusted by all food, and they come near to the doors of death.
19 Nígbà náà wọ́n kígbe sí Olúwa nínú ìṣòro wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú ìdààmú wọn.
Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.
20 Ó rán ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, ara wọn sì dá ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú isà òkú.
He sent his word and made them well, and kept them safe from the underworld.
21 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọ́n fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
22 Jẹ́ kí wọn rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ kí wọn kí ó fi ayọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
Let them make offerings of praise, giving news of his works with cries of joy.
23 Àwọn tí ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Òkun nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, wọ́n jẹ́ oníṣòwò nínú omi ńlá.
Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in the great waters;
24 Wọ́n rí iṣẹ́ Olúwa, àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ nínú ibú.
They see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 Nítorí tí ó pàṣẹ, ó sì mú ìjì fẹ́ tí ó gbé ríru rẹ̀ sókè.
For at his word comes up the storm-wind, lifting high the waves.
26 Wọ́n gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run wọ́n sì tún sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibú: nítorí ìpọ́njú, ọkàn wọn di omi.
The sailors go up to heaven, and down into the deep; their souls are wasted because of their trouble.
27 Wọ́n ń ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n bí ọ̀mùtí ènìyàn: ọgbọ́n wọn sì dé òpin.
They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.
28 Nígbà náà wọ́n ń kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì mú wọn jáde nínú ìṣòro wọn.
Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.
29 Ó sọ ìjì di ìdákẹ́rọ́rọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ríru omi rẹ̀ dúró jẹ́ẹ́.
He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace.
30 Inú wọn dùn nígbà tí ara wọn balẹ̀, ó mú wọn lọ sí ibi tí ọkàn wọn lọ.
Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.
31 Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
32 Jẹ́ kí wọn gbé e ga ní àárín àwọn ènìyàn kí wọn kí ó sì yìn ín ní ìjọ àwọn àgbàgbà.
Let them give glory to him in the meeting of the people, and praise among the chiefs.
33 Ó sọ odò di aginjù, àti orísun omi di ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
He makes rivers into waste places, and springs of water into a dry land;
34 Ilẹ̀ eléso di aṣálẹ̀ nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.
He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.
35 O sọ aginjù di adágún omi àti ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ di orísun omi,
He makes a waste land into a place of water, and a dry land into water-springs.
36 níbẹ̀ ó mú ẹni tí ebi ń pa wà, wọ́n sì pilẹ̀ ibi tí wọn ó máa gbé.
And there he gives the poor a resting-place, so that they may make themselves a town;
37 Wọn fún irúgbìn, wọ́n sì gbin ọgbà àjàrà tí yóò máa so èso tí ó dára;
And put seed in the fields and make vine-gardens, to give them fruit.
38 Ó bùkún wọn, wọ́n sì pọ̀ sí i ní iye kò sí jẹ́ kí ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn kí ó dínkù.
He gives them his blessing so that they are increased greatly, and their cattle do not become less.
39 Nígbà náà, ọjọ́ wọn kúrú, ìnira, ìpọ́njú àti ìṣòro wọn sì dínkù,
And when they are made low, and crushed by trouble and sorrow,
40 ẹni tí ó da ẹ̀gàn lu ọmọ-aládé ó sì mú wọn rìn níbi tí ọ̀nà kò sí.
He puts an end to the pride of kings, and sends them wandering in the waste lands where there is no way.
41 Ṣùgbọ́n ó gbé aláìní sókè kúrò nínú ìnira ó mú ìdílé wọn pọ̀ bí agbo ẹran.
But he puts the poor man on high from his troubles, and gives him families like a flock.
42 Àwọn tí ó dúró sì rí i, inú wọn sì dùn ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo olùṣe búburú yóò pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́.
The upright see it and are glad: the mouth of the sinner is stopped.
43 Ẹni tí ó bá gbọ́n, jẹ́ kí ó kíyèsi nǹkan wọ̀nyí kí ó wo títóbi ìfẹ́ Olúwa.
Let the wise give thought to these things, and see the mercies of the Lord.
