Psalms 119
1 ALEPH Happy are they who are without sin in their ways, walking in the law of the Lord.
Ala bon sa bon pou moun k'ap mennen yon lavi san repwòch, pou moun k'ap mache dapre lalwa Seyè a!
2 Happy are they who keep his unchanging word, searching after him with all their heart.
Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki kenbe prensip li yo, pou moun k'ap chache obeyi l' ak tout kè yo!
3 They do no evil; they go in his ways.
Moun konsa p'ap fè mal, y'ap mache nan chemen li mete devan yo.
4 You have put your orders into our hearts, so that we might keep them with care.
Ou ban nou lòd pou nou swiv. Ou mande pou nou obeyi yo san manke yonn.
5 If only my ways were ordered so that I might keep your rules!
Jan m' ta renmen kenbe fèm pou m' toujou fè sa ou mande!
6 Then I would not be put to shame, as long as I have respect for all your teaching.
Konsa, mwen p'ap janm wont lè m'ap kalkile kòmandman ou yo.
7 I will give you praise with an upright heart in learning your right decisions.
M'a fè lwanj ou avèk yon konsyans ki pwòp, lè m' aprann tou sa ou deside nan jistis ou.
8 I will keep your rules: O give me not up completely.
Mwen vle fè tou sa ou mande. Tanpri, pa lage m'.
9 BETH How may a young man make his way clean? by guiding it after your word.
Kisa yon jenn gason dwe fè pou l' mennen bak li dwat? Se pou l' toujou mache jan ou di l' mache a.
10 I have made search for you with all my heart: O let me not go wandering far from your teaching.
Mwen chache obeyi ou ak tout kè mwen. Pa kite m' dezobeyi kòmandman ou yo.
11 I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.
Mwen sere pawòl ou yo nan kè mwen, pou m' pa fè peche kont ou.
12 Praise be to you, O Lord: give me knowledge of your rules.
Mèsi, Bondye. Moutre m' tou sa ou vle m' fè.
13 With my lips have I made clear all the decisions of your mouth.
M'ap repete ak bouch mwen tout jijman ki soti nan bouch ou.
14 I have taken as much delight in the way of your unchanging word, as in all wealth.
Mwen pran plezi m' pou m' mache dapre prensip ou yo, tankou si m' te gen tout richès sou latè.
15 I will give thought to your orders, and have respect for your ways.
M'ap kalkile sa ou ban nou lòd fè. M'ap egzaminen chemen ou mete devan nou.
16 I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.
Mwen pran tout plezi m' nan fè sa ou mande. Mwen p'ap bliye pawòl ou yo.
17 GIMEL Give me, your servant, the reward of life, so that I may keep your word;

18 Let my eyes be open to see the wonders of your law.
Louvri je m' pou m' ka wè bèl bagay ki nan lalwa ou la.
19 I am living in a strange land: do not let your teachings be kept secret from me.
Se pase m'ap pase sou tè a. Tanpri, pa anpeche m' konnen kòmandman ou yo.
20 My soul is broken with desire for your decisions at all times.
Se tout tan kè m' ap bat, tèlman mwen anvi konnen sa ou deside.
21 Your hand has been against the men of pride, a curse is on those who go wandering out of your way.
Ou rele dèyè awogan yo, bann madichon sa yo k'ap dezobeyi kòmandman ou yo.
22 Take away from me shame and bitter words; for I have kept your unchanging word in my heart.
Pa kite yo joure m', pa kite yo meprize m', paske mwen te kenbe prensip ou yo.
23 Rulers make evil designs against me; but your servant gives thought to your rules.
Menm si chèf yo chita pou pale m' mal, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, m'ap kalkile sou sa ou vle m' fè a.
24 Your unchanging word is my delight, and the guide of my footsteps.
Prensip ou yo fè kè m' kontan. Se yo ki ban m' konsèy sa pou m' fè.
25 DALETH My soul is joined to the dust: O give me life, in keeping with your word.
Mwen kouche atè nan pousyè a! Ban m' lavi ankò, jan ou te pwomèt la.
26 I put the record of my ways before you, and you gave me an answer: O give me knowledge of your rules.
Mwen di ou tou sa m' te fè, ou reponn mwen. Tanpri, moutre m' tou sa ou vle m' fè.
27 Make the way of your orders clear to me; then my thoughts will be ever on your wonders.
Fè m' konprann ki jan pou m' swiv lòd ou ban mwen yo. M'a kalkile bèl bagay ou fè yo.
28 My soul is wasted with sorrow; give me strength again in keeping with your word

29 Take from me every false way; and in mercy give me your law.
Pa kite m' lage kò m' nan bay manti. Fè m' favè sa a, moutre mwen lalwa ou.
30 I have taken the way of faith: I have kept your decisions before me.

Fè m' pi anvi swiv prensip ou yo pase pou m' anvi gen lajan.
37 Let my eyes be turned away from what is false; give me life in your ways.
Pa kite m' kouri dèyè bagay ki pa vo anyen. Fè m' swiv chemen ou mete devan m' lan.
38 Give effect to your word to your servant, in whose heart is the fear of you.
Kenbe pwomès ou te fè sèvitè ou la, pwomès ou te fè pou moun ki gen krentif pou ou.
39 Take away the shame which is my fear; for your decisions are good.
Pa kite yo joure m', mwen pè bagay konsa. Ala bon jijman ou yo bon!
40 See how great is my desire for your orders: give me life in your righteousness.
Ou wè jan m' anvi swiv lòd ou yo! Nan jistis ou, tanpri, ban m' lavi ankò!
41 VAU Let your mercies come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, as you have said.
Fè m' wè jan ou renmen m', Seyè! vin delivre m', jan ou te pwomèt la.
42 So that I may have an answer for the man who would put me to shame; for I have faith in your word.
Lè sa a, m'a gen repons pou m' bay moun k'ap joure m' yo, paske mwen gen konfyans nan pawòl ou.
43 Take not your true word quite out of my mouth; for I have put my hope in your decisions.
Pa janm wete pawòl verite a nan bouch mwen, paske mwen mete tout espwa mwen nan jijman ou yo.

M'ap toujou obeyi lalwa ou la, pou tout tan tout tan.
45 So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.
M'a mache alèz san anyen pa jennen m', paske m'ap toujou chache swiv lòd ou yo.
46 So that I may give knowledge of your unchanging word before kings, and not be put to shame.
M'a fè wa yo konnen prensip ou yo, mwen p'ap wont fè sa.
47 And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.
Mwen pran tout plezi m' nan obeyi kòmandman ou yo, paske mwen renmen yo.
48 And so that my hands may be stretched out to you; and I will give thought to your rules.
M'ap respekte kòmandman ou yo, paske mwen renmen yo. M'ap kalkile sou sa ou vle m' fè a.
49 ZAIN Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.
Chonje sa ou te di sèvitè ou la. Se sa ki te ban m' espwa.
50 This is my comfort in my trouble; that your sayings have given me life.
Nan mizè mwen, tout konsolasyon m', se pwomès ou fè m' lan. Se sa ki fè m' viv.
51 The men of pride have made great sport of me; but I have not been turned from your law.
Yon bann awogan ap pase m' nan betiz. Mwen pa janm dezobeyi lalwa ou.
52 I have kept the memory of your decisions from times past, O Lord; and they have been my comfort.
Mwen chonje sa ou te deside nan tan lontan. Seyè, se sa ki ban m' kouraj.
53 I am burning with wrath, because of the sinners who have given up your law.
Sa mete m' ankòlè, lè m' wè jan mechan yo ap dezobeyi lalwa ou.
54 Your rules have been melodies to me, while I have been living in strange lands.
Mwen fè chante ak sa ou mande m' fè, nan kay ki pa lakay mwen.
55 I have given thought to your name in the night, O Lord, and have kept your law.
Lannwit se ou m'ap chonje, Seyè. M'ap fè tou sa lalwa ou la mande m' fè.
56 This has been true of me, that I have kept your orders in my heart.

76 Let your mercy now be my comfort, as you have said to your servant.

82 My eyes are full of weariness with searching for your word, saying, When will you give me comfort?
Je m' yo fè m' mal tèlman m'ap veye sa ou te pwomèt la. M'ap mande: -Kilè w'a vin konsole m'?
83 For I have become like a wine-skin black with smoke; but I still keep the memory of your rules.
Mwen tankou yon vye kalbas ki pandye bò dife. Men, mwen pa janm bliye sa ou mande m' fè.
84 How short is the life of your servant! when will you give your decision against those who are attacking me?
Konbe jou sèvitè ou la rete pou l' viv ankò? Kilè w'a pini moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo?
85 The men of pride, who are turned away from your law, have put nets for me.

91 They are ruled this day by your decisions; for all things are your servants.
Jouk jounen jòdi a, tout bagay sou latè rete jan ou vle l' la, paske yo tout se sèvitè ou yo ye.

167 My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.
M'ap mache dapre prensip ou yo, se pa ti renmen mwen renmen yo.
168 I have been ruled by your orders; for all my ways are before you.
M'ap swiv lòd ou yo, m'ap fè tou sa ou vle m' fè, paske ou konnen tout vire tounen m'.

Mwen tankou yon mouton ki pèdi bann li. Tanpri, vin chache m', paske mwen pa janm bliye kòmandman ou yo.
