< Psalms 107 >

1 Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó ṣeun; nítorí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.
'Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:'
2 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹni ìràpadà Olúwa kí ó wí báyìí, àwọn ẹni tí ó rà padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá,
Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
3 àwọn tí ó kójọ láti ilẹ̀ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, láti ìlà-oòrùn àti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, láti àríwá àti Òkun wá.
And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From 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 in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.
5 Ebi ń pa wọn, òǹgbẹ gbẹ wọ́n, ó sì rẹ ọkàn wọn nínú wọn.
Hungry — yea — thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
6 Ní ìgbà náà, wọ́n kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ìrora wọn
And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
7 Ó fi ọ̀nà títọ́ hàn wọ́n sí ìlú tí wọn lè máa gbé.
And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto 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,
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders 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 hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [with] goodness.
10 Ọ̀pọ̀ jókòó nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, a dè wọ́n ní ìrora àti ní irin,
Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
11 nítorí tí wọ́n ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n kẹ́gàn ìbáwí Ọ̀gá-ògo,
Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.
12 Ó sì fi ìkorò rẹ àyà wọn sílẹ̀; wọn ṣubú, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí yóò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́.
And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
13 Ní ìgbà náà wọ́n ké pe Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì gbà wọ́n nínú ìṣòro wọn
And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
14 Ó mú wọn jáde kúrò nínú òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú, ó sì fa irin tí wọ́n fi dè wọ́n já.
He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
15 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa! Nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti nítorí iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ sí ọmọ ènìyàn.
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders 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 hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
17 Ọ̀pọ̀ di aṣiwèrè nítorí ìrékọjá wọn wọ́n sì pọ́n wọn lójú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
18 Wọ́n kọ gbogbo oúnjẹ wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ikú.
All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
19 Nígbà náà wọ́n kígbe sí Olúwa nínú ìṣòro wọn, ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú ìdààmú wọn.
And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
20 Ó rán ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, ara wọn sì dá ó sì yọ wọ́n nínú isà òkú.
He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.
21 Ẹ jẹ́ kí wọ́n fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
22 Jẹ́ kí wọn rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ kí wọn kí ó fi ayọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
23 Àwọn tí ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Òkun nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, wọ́n jẹ́ oníṣòwò nínú omi ńlá.
Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
24 Wọ́n rí iṣẹ́ Olúwa, àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ nínú ibú.
They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
25 Nítorí tí ó pàṣẹ, ó sì mú ìjì fẹ́ tí ó gbé ríru rẹ̀ sókè.
And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,
26 Wọ́n gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run wọ́n sì tún sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibú: nítorí ìpọ́njú, ọkàn wọn di omi.
They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.
27 Wọ́n ń ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n bí ọ̀mùtí ènìyàn: ọgbọ́n wọn sì dé òpin.
They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
28 Nígbà náà wọ́n ń kígbe sókè sí Olúwa nínú ìdààmú wọn, ó sì mú wọn jáde nínú ìṣòro wọn.
And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
29 Ó sọ ìjì di ìdákẹ́rọ́rọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ríru omi rẹ̀ dúró jẹ́ẹ́.
He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
30 Inú wọn dùn nígbà tí ara wọn balẹ̀, ó mú wọn lọ sí ibi tí ọkàn wọn lọ.
And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
31 Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ fún ọmọ ènìyàn.
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders 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 they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.
33 Ó sọ odò di aginjù, àti orísun omi di ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
34 Ilẹ̀ eléso di aṣálẹ̀ nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.
A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
35 O sọ aginjù di adágún omi àti ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ di orísun omi,
He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
36 níbẹ̀ ó mú ẹni tí ebi ń pa wà, wọ́n sì pilẹ̀ ibi tí wọn ó máa gbé.
And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
37 Wọn fún irúgbìn, wọ́n sì gbin ọgbà àjàrà tí yóò máa so èso tí ó dára;
And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
38 Ó bùkún wọn, wọ́n sì pọ̀ sí i ní iye kò sí jẹ́ kí ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn kí ó dínkù.
And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
39 Nígbà náà, ọjọ́ wọn kúrú, ìnira, ìpọ́njú àti ìṣòro wọn sì dínkù,
And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
40 ẹni tí ó da ẹ̀gàn lu ọmọ-aládé ó sì mú wọn rìn níbi tí ọ̀nà kò sí.
He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy — no way.
41 Ṣùgbọ́n ó gbé aláìní sókè kúrò nínú ìnira ó mú ìdílé wọn pọ̀ bí agbo ẹran.
And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as 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 do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
43 Ẹni tí ó bá gbọ́n, jẹ́ kí ó kíyèsi nǹkan wọ̀nyí kí ó wo títóbi ìfẹ́ Olúwa.
Who [is] wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
