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!
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.
2 Olúwa kọ́ Jerusalẹmu; Ó kó àwọn Israẹli tí a lé sọnù jọ.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Ó wo àwọn tí ọkàn wọ́n bàjẹ́ sàn ó sì di ọgbẹ́ wọ́n.
He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.
4 Ó ka iye àwọn ìràwọ̀ ó sì pe ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn ní orúkọ.
He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.
5 Títóbi ni Olúwa wa ó sì pọ̀ ní agbára òye rẹ̀ kò sì ní òpin.
Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.
6 Olúwa wa pẹ̀lú àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó rẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn búburú sílẹ̀.
The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
7 Fi ọpẹ́ kọrin sí Olúwa fi ohun èlò orin olókùn yin Ọlọ́run.
Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.
8 Ó fi ìkùùkuu bo àwọ̀ sánmọ̀ ó rọ òjò sí orílẹ̀ ayé ó mú kí koríko hù lórí àwọn òkè
He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.
9 Ó pèsè oúnjẹ fún àwọn ẹranko àti fún àwọn ọmọ ẹyẹ ìwò ní ìgbà tí wọ́n bá ń ké.
He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.
10 Òun kò ní inú dídùn nínú agbára ẹṣin, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Òun kò ní ayọ̀ sí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ọkùnrin
He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.
11 Olúwa ni ayọ̀ nínú àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, sí àwọn tí ó ní ìrètí nínú àánú rẹ̀.
The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.
12 Yin Olúwa, ìwọ Jerusalẹmu; yin Ọlọ́run rẹ, ìwọ Sioni.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your 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 reinforced the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you.
14 Òun jẹ́ kí àlàáfíà wà ní àwọn ẹnu ibodè rẹ̀, òun sì fi jéró dáradára tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn.
He has stationed peace at your borders, and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain.
15 Òun sì rán àṣẹ rẹ̀ sí ayé ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ sáré tete.
He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. His word runs swiftly.
16 Ó fi yìnyín fún ni bi irun àgùntàn ó sì fọ́n ìrì dídì ká bí eérú
He provides snow like wool. He strews clouds like ashes.
17 Ó rọ òjò yìnyín rẹ̀ bí òkúta wẹ́wẹ́ ta ni ó lè dúró níwájú òtútù rẹ̀
He sends his ice crystals like morsels. Who can stand firm before the face of 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 will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.
19 Ó sọ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ di mí mọ̀ fún Jakọbu àwọn òfin àti ìlànà rẹ̀ fún Israẹli.
He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments 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 done so much for every nation, and he has not made his judgments manifest to them. Alleluia.
