Psalms 147
1 Ẹ fi ìyìn fún Olúwa. Nítorí ohun rere ni láti máa kọrin ìyìn sí Ọlọ́run wa, ó yẹ láti kọrin ìyìn sí i!
Praise ye Jehovah, for it is good to sing praises to our God. For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
2 Olúwa kọ́ Jerusalẹmu; Ó kó àwọn Israẹli tí a lé sọnù jọ.
Jehovah builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 Ó wo àwọn tí ọkàn wọ́n bàjẹ́ sàn ó sì di ọgbẹ́ wọ́n.
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 Ó ka iye àwọn ìràwọ̀ ó sì pe ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn ní orúkọ.
He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by names.
5 Títóbi ni Olúwa wa ó sì pọ̀ ní agbára òye rẹ̀ kò sì ní òpin.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
6 Olúwa wa pẹ̀lú àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó rẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn búburú sílẹ̀.
Jehovah upholds the meek. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7 Fi ọpẹ́ kọrin sí Olúwa fi ohun èlò orin olókùn yin Ọlọ́run.
Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving. Sing praises upon the harp to our God,
8 Ó fi ìkùùkuu bo àwọ̀ sánmọ̀ ó rọ òjò sí orílẹ̀ ayé ó mú kí koríko hù lórí àwọn òkè
who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 Ó pèsè oúnjẹ fún àwọn ẹranko àti fún àwọn ọmọ ẹyẹ ìwò ní ìgbà tí wọ́n bá ń ké.
He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 Òun kò ní inú dídùn nínú agbára ẹṣin, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Òun kò ní ayọ̀ sí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ọkùnrin
He does not delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 Olúwa ni ayọ̀ nínú àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, sí àwọn tí ó ní ìrètí nínú àánú rẹ̀.
Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
12 Yin Olúwa, ìwọ Jerusalẹmu; yin Ọlọ́run rẹ, ìwọ Sioni.
Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem. Praise thy God, O Zion.
13 Nítorí tí ó ti mú ọ̀pá ìdábùú ibodè rẹ̀ lágbára, Òun sì ti bùkún fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ nínú rẹ
For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates. He has blessed thy sons within thee.
14 Òun jẹ́ kí àlàáfíà wà ní àwọn ẹnu ibodè rẹ̀, òun sì fi jéró dáradára tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn.
He makes peace in thy borders. He fills thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 Òun sì rán àṣẹ rẹ̀ sí ayé ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ sáré tete.
He sends out his commandment upon earth. His word runs very swiftly.
16 Ó fi yìnyín fún ni bi irun àgùntàn ó sì fọ́n ìrì dídì ká bí eérú
He gives snow like wool. He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.
17 Ó rọ òjò yìnyín rẹ̀ bí òkúta wẹ́wẹ́ ta ni ó lè dúró níwájú òtútù rẹ̀
He casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold?
18 Ó rán ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ jáde ó sì mú wọn yọ̀ ó mú kí afẹ́fẹ́ rẹ̀ fẹ́ ó sì mú odò rẹ̀ sàn.
He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 Ó sọ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ di mí mọ̀ fún Jakọbu àwọn òfin àti ìlànà rẹ̀ fún Israẹli.
He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
20 Òun kó tí ṣe irú èyí sí orílẹ̀-èdè kan rí, bí ó ṣe ti ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ wọn ko mọ òfin rẹ̀. Ẹ fi ìyìn fún Olúwa.
He has not dealt so with any nation. And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.
