< Psalms 107 >
1 Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó ṣeun; nítorí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.
2 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹni ìràpadà Olúwa kí ó wí báyìí, àwọn ẹni tí ó rà padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá,
Let those who have been redeemed by the Lord say so: those whom he redeemed from the hand of the enemy and gathered from the regions,
3 àwọn tí ó kójọ láti ilẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, láti ìlà-oòrùn àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, láti àríwá àti Òkun wá.
from the rising of the sun and its setting, from the north and from the sea.
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 wandered into solitude in a waterless place. They did not find the way of the city to be their dwelling place.
5 Ebi ń pa wọn, òǹgbẹ gbẹ wọ́n, ó sì rẹ ọkàn wọn nínú wọn.
They were hungry, and they were thirsty. Their soul fainted within them.
6 Ní ìgbà náà, wọ́n kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ìrora wọn
And they cried out to the Lord in tribulation, and he rescued them in their necessity.
7 Ó fi ọ̀nà títọ́ hàn wọ́n sí ìlú tí wọn lè máa gbé.
And he led them in the right way, so that they might go forth to a city of habitation.
8 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn máa yin Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn,
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
9 nítorí tí ó tẹ́ ìfẹ́ ọkàn lọ́run ó sì fi ìre fún ọkàn tí ebi ń pa.
For he has satisfied the empty soul, and he has satisfied the hungry soul with good things:
10 Ọ̀pọ̀ jókòó nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, a dè wọ́n ní ìrora àti ní irin,
those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, shackled by extreme poverty and by iron.
11 nítorí tí wọ́n ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n kẹ́gàn ìbáwí Ọ̀gá-ògo,
For they exasperated the eloquence of God, and they irritated the deliberation of the Most High.
12 Ó sì fi ìkorò rẹ àyà wọn sílẹ̀; wọn ṣubú, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́.
And their heart was brought low with hardships. They were weakened, and there was no one to help them.
13 Ní ìgbà náà wọ́n ké pe Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì gbà wọ́n nínú ìṣòro wọn
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he freed them from their distress.
14 Ó mú wọn jáde kúrò nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, ó sì fa irin tí wọ́n fi dè wọ́n já.
And he led them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and he broke apart their chains.
15 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa! Nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí ọmọ ènìyàn.
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
16 Nítorí tí ó já ìlẹ̀kùn idẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ó sì ké irin wọn ní agbede-méjì.
For he has crushed the gates of brass and broken the iron bars.
17 Ọ̀pọ̀ di aṣiwèrè nítorí ìrékọjá wọn wọ́n sì pọ́n wọn lójú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
He has taken them up, from the way of their iniquity. For they were brought low, because of their injustices.
18 Wọ́n kọ gbogbo oúnjẹ wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ikú.
Their soul abhorred all food, and they drew near even to the gates of death.
19 Nígbà náà wọ́n kígbe sí Olúwa nínú ìṣòro wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú ìdààmú wọn.
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he delivered them in their necessity.
20 Ó rán ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, ara wọn sì dá ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú isà òkú.
He sent his word, and he healed them, and he rescued them from their utter destruction.
21 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọ́n fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
22 Jẹ́ kí wọn rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ kí wọn kí ó fi ayọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
And let them offer sacrifice with the sacrifice of praise, and let them announce his works in exultation.
23 Àwọn tí ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Òkun nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, wọ́n jẹ́ oníṣòwò nínú omi ńlá.
Those who descend to the sea in ships, making their livelihood in the great waters:
24 Wọ́n rí iṣẹ́ Olúwa, àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ nínú ibú.
these have seen 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.
He spoke: and a windstorm stood up, and its waves were exalted.
26 Wọ́n gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run wọ́n sì tún sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibú: nítorí ìpọ́njú, ọkàn wọn di omi.
They ascend even to the heavens, and they descend even to the abyss. Their soul will waste away in distress.
27 Wọ́n ń ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n bí ọ̀mùtí ènìyàn: ọgbọ́n wọn sì dé òpin.
They were troubled, and they moved like a drunkard, and all their wisdom was consumed.
28 Nígbà náà wọ́n ń kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì mú wọn jáde nínú ìṣòro wọn.
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he led them out of their distress.
29 Ó sọ ìjì di ìdákẹ́rọ́rọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ríru omi rẹ̀ dúró jẹ́ẹ́.
And he replaced the storm with a breeze, and its waves were stilled.
30 Inú wọn dùn nígbà tí ara wọn balẹ̀, ó mú wọn lọ sí ibi tí ọkàn wọn lọ.
And they were joyful that it was stilled, and he led them into the haven that they desired.
31 Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
32 Jẹ́ kí wọn gbé e ga ní àárín àwọn ènìyàn kí wọn kí ó sì yìn ín ní ìjọ àwọn àgbàgbà.
And let them exalt him in the Church of the people, and praise him in the chair of the elders.
33 Ó sọ odò di aginjù, àti orísun omi di ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
He has placed rivers in the desert and sources of water in dry places,
34 Ilẹ̀ eléso di aṣálẹ̀ nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.
a fruit-bearing land in the midst of brine, before the malice of those who dwell in it.
35 O sọ aginjù di adágún omi àti ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ di orísun omi,
He has placed a desert in the midst of pools of waters, and a land without water in the midst of sources of water.
36 níbẹ̀ ó mú ẹni tí ebi ń pa wà, wọ́n sì pilẹ̀ ibi tí wọn ó máa gbé.
And he has gathered the hungry together there, and they constructed a city of habitation.
37 Wọn fún irúgbìn, wọ́n sì gbin ọgbà àjàrà tí yóò máa so èso tí ó dára;
And they sowed fields and planted vineyards, and they produced the fruit of nativity.
38 Ó bùkún wọn, wọ́n sì pọ̀ sí i ní iye kò sí jẹ́ kí ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn kí ó dínkù.
And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly. And he did not diminish their beasts of burden.
39 Nígbà náà, ọjọ́ wọn kúrú, ìnira, ìpọ́njú àti ìṣòro wọn sì dínkù,
And they became few, and they were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and of sorrow.
40 ẹni tí ó da ẹ̀gàn lu ọmọ-aládé ó sì mú wọn rìn níbi tí ọ̀nà kò sí.
Contempt was poured over their leaders, and he caused them to wander in an impassable place, and not on the way.
41 Ṣùgbọ́n ó gbé aláìní sókè kúrò nínú ìnira ó mú ìdílé wọn pọ̀ bí agbo ẹran.
And he helped the poor out of destitution, and he stationed families like sheep.
42 Àwọn tí ó dúró sì rí i, inú wọn sì dùn ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo olùṣe búburú yóò pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́.
The upright will see, and they will rejoice. And every iniquity will block its mouth.
43 Ẹni tí ó bá gbọ́n, jẹ́ kí ó kíyèsi nǹkan wọ̀nyí kí ó wo títóbi ìfẹ́ Olúwa.
Who is wise and will keep these things? And who will understand the mercies of the Lord?
