Psalms 68
1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. A Song. Let God be seen, and let his haters be put to flight; let those who are against him be turned back before him.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Se yon chante. Lè Bondye kanpe, lènmi l' yo gaye, moun ki rayi l' yo kouri lè l' parèt.
2 Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.
Menm jan lafimen disparèt nan lè a, se konsa w'ap disparèt yo. Menm jan lasi fonn nan dife, se konsa mechan yo gen pou yo mouri devan Bondye.
3 But let the upright be glad; let them have delight before God; let them be full of joy.
Men moun ki mache dwat yo ap kontan, y'ap fè fèt devan Bondye. Y'ap kontan anpil anpil.
4 Make songs to God, make songs of praise to his name; make a way for him who comes through the waste lands; his name is Jah; be glad before him.
Chante pou Bondye, fè fèt pou li. Louvri chemen nan laplenn lan bay moun k'ap vini an. Se Seyè ki non li. Fè kè nou kontan lè li parèt devan nou.
5 A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place.
Bondye rete nan kay ki apa pou li a, li sèvi papa pou timoun ki san papa yo, li pwoteje vèv yo.
6 Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.
Moun ki san fanmi yo, li ba yo fanmi. Li fè prizonye yo soti nan prizon, li fè kè yo kontan. Men, pou moun k'ap kenbe tèt avè l' yo, y'ap rete nan prizon.
7 O God, when you went out before your people, wandering through the waste land; (Selah)
O Bondye, lè ou t'ap mache alatèt pèp ou a, lè ou t'ap travèse dezè a,
8 The earth was shaking and the heavens were streaming, because God was present; even Sinai itself was moved before God, the God of Israel.
tè a te pran tranble, lapli te pran tonbe soti nan syèl la devan Bondye. devan Bondye mòn Sinayi a, wi, devan Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
9 You, O God, did freely send the rain, giving strength to the weariness of your heritage.
Bondye, ou fè lapli tonbe an kantite sou latè. Ou ba li fòs ankò, paske li te fin pèdi tout grès li.
10 Those whose resting-place was there, even the poor, were comforted by your good things, O God.
Pèp ou a moute kay li nan peyi ou pare pou pòv malere yo, paske ou gen bon kè.
11 The Lord gives the word; great is the number of the women who make it public.
Seyè a bay lòd, epi yon bann fanm pran gaye nouvèl la:
12 Kings of armies quickly go in flight: and the women in the houses make a division of their goods.
Wa yo kouri, yo kouri ansanm ak tout lame yo. Moun yo te kite pou veye kay separe tout sa lènmi yo kite dèyè.
13 Will you take your rest among the flocks? like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold.
Lè nou rete kouche nan pak mouton yo zèl pijon an klere tankou ajan. Plimaj li jòn tankou lò.
14 When the Most High put the kings to flight, it was as white as snow in Salmon.
Lè Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a te gaye wa yo nan peyi a, li te fè lanèj kouvri mòn Salmon.
15 A hill of God is the hill of Bashan; a hill with high tops is the hill of Bashan.
Ala yon gwo mòn ki wo se mòn Bazan! Se yon mòn ki gen anpil tèt, mòn Bazan an!
16 Why are you looking with envy, you high hills, on the hill desired by God as his resting-place? truly, God will make it his house for ever.
Poukisa, ou menm mòn ki gen anpil tèt la, w'ap fè jalouzi pou mòn Bondye chwazi pou fè kay pou l' rete a? Se la Seyè a ap rete pou tout tan.
17 The war-carriage of God is among Israel's thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai to the holy place.
Seyè a gen anpil cha! Li moute sou yo. Li soti mòn Sinayi pou li al kote ki apa pou li a.
18 You have gone up on high, taking your prisoners with you; you have taken offerings from men; the Lord God has taken his place on the seat of his power.
Ou moute anwo, ou mennen anpil prizonye ale avè ou. Yo fè ou kado anpil moun, menm moun ki te leve dèyè ou yo.
19 Praise be to the Lord, who is our support day by day, even the God of our salvation. (Selah)
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a chak jou! Li pote chay nou pou nou: Se li ki Bondye nou, se li ki delivre nou.
20 Our God is for us a God of salvation; his are the ways out of death.
Bondye sa a se Bondye delivrans nou! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap wete nou nan bouch twou a.
21 The heads of the haters of God will be crushed; even the head of him who still goes on in his evil ways.
Bondye gen pou l' kraze tèt lènmi li yo. Wi, li gen pou l' kraze zo bwa tèt moun k'ap viv nan peche.
22 The Lord said, I will make them come back from Bashan, and from the deep parts of the sea;
Seyè di: -M'ap fè lènmi yo tounen soti nan peyi Bazan. M'ap fè yo tounen soti nan fon lanmè a.
23 So that your foot may be red with blood, and the tongues of your dogs with the same.
pou ou ka mache nan san yo, pou chen ou yo ka jwenn pa yo nan lènmi ou yo.
24 We see your going, O God: even the going of my God, my King, into the holy place.
Bondye, tout moun wè jan y'ap fè fèt pou ou. Yo wè ki jan Bondye mwen an, wa mwen an, ap mache antre kote ki apa pou li a.
25 The makers of songs go before, the players of music come after, among the young girls playing on brass instruments.
Moun k'ap chante ap mache devan, mizisyen yo dèyè. Jenn fi yo nan mitan, y'ap bat tanbouren.
26 Give praise to God in the great meeting; even the Lord, you who come from the fountain of Israel.
Fè lwanj Bondye nan mitan pèp la lè l' reyini. Fè lwanj li, nou tout pitit pitit Izrayèl yo!
27 There is little Benjamin ruling them, the chiefs of Judah and their army, the rulers of Zebulun and the rulers of Naphtali.
Benjamen, ki pi piti a, vin alatèt yo. Apre li, vini chèf peyi Jida yo ak lame yo. Apre yo, vini chèf peyi Zabilon ak chèf peyi Neftali yo.
28 O God, send out your strength; the strength, O God, with which you have done great things for us,
Bondye, fè wè pouvwa ou non! Wi, fè wè pouvwa ou te sèvi pou nou an!
29 Out of your Temple in Jerusalem.
Rete nan tanp ou a lavil Jerizalèm, kote wa yo ap pote kado ba ou.
30 Say sharp words to the beast among the water-plants, the band of strong ones, with the lords of the peoples, put an end to the people whose delight is in war.
Fè bèt ki rete anba wozo yo pè, fè bann towo bèf ak jenn ti towo yo pè tou, jouk y'a vin soumèt devan ou, jouk y'a vin ofri ajan ba ou. Wi, moun sa yo ki renmen batay, gaye yo! Fè yo kouri!
31 Kings will give you offerings, they will come out of Egypt; from Pathros will come offerings of silver; Ethiopia will be stretching out her hands to God.
Grannèg ap soti nan peyi Lejip, moun peyi Letiopi ap louvri bra yo pou lapriyè Bondye.
32 Make songs to God, you kingdoms of the earth; O make songs of praise to the Lord; (Selah)
Nou menm chèf peyi latè yo, chante pou Bondye! Chante pou fè lwanj Seyè a,
33 To him who goes or the clouds of heaven, the heaven which was from earliest times; he sends out his voice of power.
pou Bondye k'ap kouri chwal li nan syèl la, nan syèl ki la depi lontan lontan an. Tande jan l'ap rele, jan l'ap rele byen fò.
34 Make clear that strength is God's: he is lifted up over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.
L'ap di: -Rekonèt jan Bondye gen pouvwa! L'ap dominen sou pèp Izrayèl la. Syèl la fè nou konnen jan li gen pouvwa.
35 O God, you are to be feared in your holy place: the God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God.
Bondye chita kote ki apa pou li a, li fè tout moun respekte l'. Bondye pèp Izrayèl la bay pèp li a fòs ak kouraj. Di Bondye mèsi!
