< Psalms 106 >

1 Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova; he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
2 Who is able to give an account of the great acts of the Lord, or to make clear all his praise?
Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakamatala ki he ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻa Sihova? Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakahā ʻae fakamālō kotoa pē kiate ia?
3 Happy are they whose decisions are upright, and he who does righteousness at all times.
‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he fakamaau, mo ia ʻoku fai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
4 Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;
‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatuʻi au ʻaki ʻae ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ʻaki ki hoʻo kakai: ke ke ʻaʻahi mai kiate au ʻaki hoʻo fakamoʻui;
5 So that I may see the well-being of the people of your selection, and have a part in the joy of your nation, and take pride in your heritage.
Koeʻuhi ke u mamata ki he lelei ʻo ia kuo ke fili, koeʻuhi ke u fiefia ʻi he fiefia ʻo ho puleʻanga, pea u vikiviki ai fakataha mo ho tofiʻa.
6 We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.
Ko kimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai kuo mau fai angahala, kuo mau fai ʻae ngaahi hia, kuo mau fai kovi.
7 Our fathers did not give thought to your wonders in Egypt; they did not keep in memory the great number of your mercies, but gave you cause for wrath at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi ʻIsipite; naʻe ʻikai tenau manatu ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa; ka naʻa nau fakahouhau kiate ia ʻi he tahi, ʻio, ʻi he Tahi Kulokula.
8 But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.
Ka naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko hono huafa, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻilo ʻa hono mālohi lahi.
9 By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.
Naʻe valoki foki ʻe ia ʻae Tahi Kulokula, pea mōmoa ia: ko ia naʻa ne tataki ʻakinautolu ʻi he loloto, ʻo hangē ko e toafa.
10 And he took them safely out of the hands of their haters, and kept them from the attacks of those who were against them.
Pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻo ia naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu, mo ne huhuʻi ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe fili.
11 And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.
Pea naʻe lōmakiʻi honau ngaahi fili ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vai: pea naʻe ʻikai hao ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu.
12 Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.
Pea naʻa nau toki tui ki heʻene folofola; naʻa nau hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō kiate ia.
13 But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,
Naʻe ngalo leva ʻiate kinautolu ʻene ngaahi ngāue; pea naʻe ʻikai tenau tatali ki heʻene akonaki:
14 They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.
Ka naʻa nau holi kovi ʻaupito ʻi he toafa, pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he potu lala.
15 And he gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease into their souls.
Pea naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻaia naʻa nau kole; ka naʻa ne fekau ʻae tutue ki honau laumālie.
16 They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
Naʻa nau meheka foki kia Mōsese ʻi he loto ʻapitanga, mo ʻElone ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova.
17 The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.
Naʻe mafahi ʻae kelekele pea folo hifo ai ʻa Tatani, mo ʻufiʻufi ai ʻae kakai ʻo ʻEpilami.
18 And a fire was lighted among their tents; the sinners were burned up by the flames.
Pea naʻe tutu ai ʻae afi ʻi honau kakai; pea vela ke ʻosi ʻe he ulo afi ʻae kau angahala.
19 They made a young ox in Horeb, and gave worship to an image of gold.
Naʻa nau ngaohi ʻae fakatātā ʻoe ʻuhikiʻi pulu ʻi Holepi, pea lotu ki he fakatātā koula.
20 And their glory was changed into the image of an ox, whose food is grass.
Naʻe pehē ʻenau liliu honau nāunau, ki he fakatātā ʻoe pulu ʻaia ʻoku kai mohuku.
21 They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
Naʻa nau fakangalongaloʻi ʻae ʻOtua ko honau fakamoʻui, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻi ʻIsipite;
22 Works of wonder in the land of Ham, and things of fear by the Red Sea.
Ko e ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Hami, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakailifia ʻi he Tahi Kulokula.
23 And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.
Ko ia naʻa ne pehē te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ka ne ʻikai tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he vahaʻa ʻa Mōsese ʻaia kuo ne fili, ke fakatafoki hono houhau, telia naʻa fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻakinautolu.
24 They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;
‌ʻIo, naʻa nau fehiʻa ki he fonua lelei, naʻe ʻikai tenau tui ki heʻene folofola:
25 Talking against him secretly in their tents, they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord.
Ka naʻa nau lāunga ʻi honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo taʻetokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova.
26 So he made an oath against them, to put an end to them in the waste land:
Ko ia naʻa ne hiki hake ai hono nima kiate kinautolu, ke tulaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa:
27 That their children might be mixed among the nations, and sent away into other lands.
Ke tulaki foki honau hako ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fonua.
28 And they were joined to Baal-peor, and took part in the offerings to the dead.
Naʻa nau ului foki kia Peali-Peoli, mo nau kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe mate.
29 So they made him angry by their behaviour; and he sent disease on them.
Ko ia naʻa nau fakahouhauʻi ia ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi filioʻi: pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu.
30 Then Phinehas got up, and made prayer for them; and the disease went no farther.
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Finiasi, ʻo fai ʻae fakamaau: pea naʻe lolomi ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
31 And all the generations coming after him kept the memory of his righteousness for ever.
Pea naʻe lau ia kiate ia ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē ʻo lauikuonga.
32 They made God angry again at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled because of them;
Naʻa nau fakahouhau kiate ia foki ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻoe fekeʻikeʻi, pea hoko ʻae kovi kia Mōsese koeʻuhi ko kinautolu:
33 For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakatupu hono loto, ko ia naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae lea taʻengali ʻe hono loungutu.
34 They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said;
Naʻe ʻikai tenau fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu:
35 But they were joined to the nations, learning their works.
Ka naʻa nau nofo fakataha mo e hiteni, pea nau ʻilo ʻenau ngaahi ngāue.
36 And they gave worship to images; which were a danger to them:
Pea naʻa nau tauhi honau ngaahi tamapua: ʻaia naʻe hoko ko e tauhele kiate kinautolu.
37 They even made offerings of their sons and their daughters to evil spirits,
‌ʻIo, naʻa nau feilaulau ʻaki honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ki he kau tēvolo,
38 And gave the blood of their sons and their daughters who had done no wrong, offering them to the images of Canaan; and the land was made unclean with blood.
Mo lilingi ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni, ko e toto ʻo honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻi he toto.
39 So they became unclean through their works, going after their evil desires.
Pea naʻe fakaʻuliʻi pehē ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngāue, pea nau fai feʻauaki ʻi heʻenau ngaahi filioʻi.
40 Then the wrath of the Lord was burning against his people, and he was angry with his heritage.
Ko ia naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki hono kakai, pea ne fākaliliʻa ai ki hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
41 And he gave them into the hands of the nations; and they were ruled by their haters.
Pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe hiteni; pea naʻe pule kiate kinautolu ʻakinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu.
42 By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.
Pea naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe honau ngaahi fili, pea fakamoʻulaloa ʻakinautolu ki honau lalo nima.
43 Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.
Naʻe liunga lahi ʻene fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu; ka naʻa nau fakahouhauʻi ia ʻi heʻenau fakakaukau, pea naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko ʻenau hia.
44 But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:
Ka naʻa ne tokanga ki heʻenau mamahi, ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻenau tangi:
45 And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.
Pea ne manatuʻi ʻa ʻene fuakava mo kinautolu, pea ne fakatomala ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
46 He put pity into the hearts of those who made them prisoners.
naʻa ne pule foki ke manavaʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻave pōpula ʻakinautolu.
47 Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.
Fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, pea tānaki ʻakimautolu mei he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ke mau fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa māʻoniʻoni, pea hanuhanu ʻi he fakamālō kiate koe.
48 Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova koe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli talu mei muʻa ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata; pea tuku ke lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻEmeni. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
