< Psalms 107 >
1 Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó ṣeun; nítorí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
O give thanks to the LORD, for [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
2 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹni ìràpadà Olúwa kí ó wí báyìí, àwọn ẹni tí ó rà padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá,
Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 àwọn tí ó kójọ láti ilẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, láti ìlà-oòrùn àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, láti àríwá àti Òkun wá.
And gathered them out of 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 wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Ebi ń pa wọn, òǹgbẹ gbẹ wọ́n, ó sì rẹ ọkàn wọn nínú wọn.
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Ní ìgbà náà, wọ́n kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ìrora wọn
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 Ó fi ọ̀nà títọ́ hàn wọ́n sí ìlú tí wọn lè máa gbé.
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go 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,
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 nítorí tí ó tẹ́ ìfẹ́ ọkàn lọ́run ó sì fi ìre fún ọkàn tí ebi ń pa.
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Ọ̀pọ̀ jókòó nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, a dè wọ́n ní ìrora àti ní irin,
Such as sit in darkness and in the shades of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron;
11 nítorí tí wọ́n ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n kẹ́gàn ìbáwí Ọ̀gá-ògo,
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High:
12 Ó sì fi ìkorò rẹ àyà wọn sílẹ̀; wọn ṣubú, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́.
Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and [there was] none to help.
13 Ní ìgbà náà wọ́n ké pe Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì gbà wọ́n nínú ìṣòro wọn
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses.
14 Ó mú wọn jáde kúrò nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, ó sì fa irin tí wọ́n fi dè wọ́n já.
He brought them out of darkness and the shades of death, and broke their bands asunder.
15 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa! Nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí ọmọ ènìyàn.
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 Nítorí tí ó já ìlẹ̀kùn idẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ó sì ké irin wọn ní agbede-méjì.
For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron asunder.
17 Ọ̀pọ̀ di aṣiwèrè nítorí ìrékọjá wọn wọ́n sì pọ́n wọn lójú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Wọ́n kọ gbogbo oúnjẹ wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ikú.
Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; and they draw near to the gates of death.
19 Nígbà náà wọ́n kígbe sí Olúwa nínú ìṣòro wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú ìdààmú wọn.
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 Ó rán ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, ara wọn sì dá ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú isà òkú.
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.
21 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọ́n fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 Jẹ́ kí wọn rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ kí wọn kí ó fi ayọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23 Àwọn tí ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Òkun nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, wọ́n jẹ́ oníṣòwò nínú omi ńlá.
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business on great waters;
24 Wọ́n rí iṣẹ́ Olúwa, àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ nínú ibú.
These 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 he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up its waves.
26 Wọ́n gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run wọ́n sì tún sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibú: nítorí ìpọ́njú, ọkàn wọn di omi.
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27 Wọ́n ń ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n bí ọ̀mùtí ènìyàn: ọgbọ́n wọn sì dé òpin.
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
28 Nígbà náà wọ́n ń kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì mú wọn jáde nínú ìṣòro wọn.
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 Ó sọ ìjì di ìdákẹ́rọ́rọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ríru omi rẹ̀ dúró jẹ́ẹ́.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves [of the sea] are still.
30 Inú wọn dùn nígbà tí ara wọn balẹ̀, ó mú wọn lọ sí ibi tí ọkàn wọn lọ.
Then are they glad because they are quiet; so he bringeth them to their desired haven.
31 Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to 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 exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 Ó sọ odò di aginjù, àti orísun omi di ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the water-springs into dry ground;
34 Ilẹ̀ eléso di aṣálẹ̀ nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.
35 O sọ aginjù di adágún omi àti ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ di orísun omi,
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground 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 maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37 Wọn fún irúgbìn, wọ́n sì gbin ọgbà àjàrà tí yóò máa so èso tí ó dára;
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38 Ó bùkún wọn, wọ́n sì pọ̀ sí i ní iye kò sí jẹ́ kí ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn kí ó dínkù.
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 Nígbà náà, ọjọ́ wọn kúrú, ìnira, ìpọ́njú àti ìṣòro wọn sì dínkù,
Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 ẹni tí ó da ẹ̀gàn lu ọmọ-aládé ó sì mú wọn rìn níbi tí ọ̀nà kò sí.
He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.
41 Ṣùgbọ́n ó gbé aláìní sókè kúrò nínú ìnira ó mú ìdílé wọn pọ̀ bí agbo ẹran.
Yet he setteth the poor on high from affliction, and maketh 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 righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Ẹni tí ó bá gbọ́n, jẹ́ kí ó kíyèsi nǹkan wọ̀nyí kí ó wo títóbi ìfẹ́ Olúwa.
Whoever [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the loving-kindness of the LORD.
