1“Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.”
1BOOK V 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
2Ke lea pehē ʻe he kakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova, ʻakinautolu kuo ne huhuʻi mei he nima ʻoe fili;
2So let the redeemed of the LORD say, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
3Pea tānaki ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi fonua, mei he potu hahake, pea mei he potu lulunga, mei he potu tokelau, pea mei he feituʻu tonga.
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.
4Naʻa nau ʻalu fano pē ʻi he toafa ʻi he hala liʻaki; naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha kolo ke nofo ai.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation.
5Pea ʻi he fiekaia mo e fieinua, naʻe pongia ai honau laumālie ʻiate kinautolu.
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6Pea naʻa nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ne ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
6Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.
7Pea naʻa ne tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala totonu, koeʻuhi kenau hoko ki he kolo naʻe kakai.
7And He led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
8Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9He ʻoku ne fakamākona ʻae laumālie ʻoku holi, mo ne fakapito ʻaki ʻae lelei ʻae laumālie ʻoku fiekaia.
9For He hath satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul He hath filled with good.
10Ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fakapoʻuli pea mo e ʻata ʻae mate, kuo haʻi ʻaki ʻae mamahi mo e ukamea;
10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron —
11Koeʻuhi naʻa nau angatuʻu ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua, mo nau fehiʻa ki he akonaki ʻae fungani Māʻolunga:
11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High.
12Ko ia naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi honau loto ʻi he ngāue; naʻa nau tō ki lalo, pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke tokoni.
12Therefore He humbled their heart with travail, they stumbled, and there was none to help —
13Pea naʻa nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
13They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.
14Naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fakapoʻuli mo e ʻata ʻoe mate, ʻo ne motuhi honau ngaahi haʻi.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.
15Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
15Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16He kuo ne maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi matapā palasa, pea ne tutuʻu ʻae ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu.
16For He hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17ʻOku mamahi ʻae kau vale koeʻuhi ko ʻenau talangataʻa, pea mo ʻenau ngaahi hia.
17Crazed because of the way of their transgression, and afflicted because of their iniquities —
18ʻOku fehiʻa honau laumālie ki he meʻakai kotoa pē; pea ʻoku nau fakaʻaʻau ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe mate.
18Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death —
19Pea ʻoku nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
19They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses;
20Naʻa ne fekau ʻene folofola, pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, mo ne fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakaʻauha.
20He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.
21Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
21Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22Pea tuku kenau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi, mo fakahā ʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻi he fiefia.
22And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with singing.
23Ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he tahi ʻi he ngaahi vaka, mo fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he ngaahi vai lahi;
23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters —
24ʻOku nau mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he moana.
24These saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep;
25He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia, pea ʻoku fakatupu ʻae matangi mālohi, ʻaia ʻoku tupu hake ai hono ngaahi peau.
25For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof;
26ʻOku nau ʻalu hake ki he langi, ʻoku nau toe ʻalu hifo ki he ngaahi loloto: kuo vela ʻo vai honau laumālie koeʻuhi ko e mamahi.
26They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; their soul melted away because of trouble;
27ʻOku nau tasipa, pea luelue ʻo hangē ko e tangata konā, pea kuo mole honau poto kotoa pē.
27They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was swallowed up —
28ʻOku nau toki tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ʻoku ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
28They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.
29ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻae afā ke tofukī, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ngaue ai hono peau.
29He made the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof were still.
30Pea ʻoku nau toki fiefia koeʻuhi ʻoku nau fiemālie ai; pea ʻoku ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he taulanga kuo nau holi ki ai.
30Then were they glad because they were quiet, and He led them unto their desired haven.
31Taumaiā ke fakamālō ʻae kakai kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ki he fānau ʻae tangata!
31Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
32Tuku kenau fakahikihiki ʻa ʻene ʻafio ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kakai, mo fakamālō
32Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders.
33ʻOku liliu ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ko e toafa, mo e ngaahi matavai ko e kelekele mōmoa;
33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty ground;
34Mo e fonua mahu ko e hongea, koeʻuhi ko e angakovi ʻae kakai ʻoku nofo ai.
34A fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35ʻOku ne liliu ʻae toafa ko e ano vai, mo e fonua mōmoa ko e ngaahi matavai.
35He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings.
36Pea ʻoku ne pule ke nofo ai ʻae fiekaia, koeʻuhi kenau teuteu ʻae kolo ke nofo ai;
36And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;
37Mo tūtuuʻi ʻae ngaahi ngoue, pea tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, ʻaia ʻoku faʻa ʻomi ʻae ngaahi fua kuo tupu.
37And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase.
38ʻOku ne fakamonūʻia foki ʻakinautolu, ko ia kuo nau tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tuku ke fakaʻaʻau ke siʻi ʻenau fanga manu.
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39Pea ʻoku toe fakaʻaʻau ke tokosiʻi mo vaivai ʻakinautolu ʻi he fakamālohi, mo e mahaki, mo e mamahi.
39Again, they are minished and dwindle away through oppression of evil and sorrow.
40ʻOku ne lilingi ʻae manuki ki he ngaahi ʻeiki, pea ʻoku ne pule kenau ʻalu fano ʻi he toafa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha hala ʻi ai.
40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
41Ka ʻoku ne hiki hake ʻae masiva mei he mamahi, pea ʻoku ne ngaohi maʻana ʻae ngaahi kāinga ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi.
41Yet setteth He the needy on high from affliction, and maketh his families like a flock.
42ʻE mamata ki ai ʻae angatonu, pea fiefia; pea ʻe tāpuni ʻe he angahala kotoa pē hono ngutu.
42The upright see it, and are glad; and all iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
43Ko hai ʻoku poto, pea tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, tenau ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻa Sihova.
43Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them consider the mercies of the LORD.
