Psalms 81
1 To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith. Of Asaph. Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou lè chante yo chante lè y'ap kraze rezen. Se yon sòm Asaf. Chante ak kè kontan pou Bondye ki tout defans nou! Fè fèt pou Bondye Jakòb la!
2 Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.
Konmanse chante a. Bat tanbouren yo! Jwe bèl mizik sou gita ak bandjo yo.
3 Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:
Kònen twonpèt pou anonse fèt la, lè lalin lan nouvèl, ak lè li plenn!
4 For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
Se yon lwa nan peyi Izrayèl, se yon lòd Bondye Jakòb la bay!
5 He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.
Bondye te fè sa tounen yon lwa pou pitit pitit Jozèf yo lè li te fè yo soti nan peyi Lejip la. Mwen tande yon vwa mwen pa rekonèt ki di m' konsa:
6 I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.
Se mwen ki te wete gwo chay lou ki te sou zepòl nou an. Se mwen ki te fè nou mete panyen yo atè.
7 You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Lè nou te anba tray, nou te rele m', mwen te delivre nou. Mwen reponn nou nan loraj kote m' te kache a. Mwen te vle wè sou ki pye nou ye avè m', lè nou te bò sous dlo Meriba a.
8 Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!
Koute m' non lè m'ap avèti nou, pèp mwen! Pèp Izrayèl, poukisa nou pa vle koute m'!
9 There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other god.
Piga nou janm sèvi lòt bondye, piga nou janm adore bondye lòt nasyon yo!
10 I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.
Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se mwen menm ki te fè nou kite peyi Lejip la. Louvri bouch nou, m'a plen l' ak pawòl mwen!
11 But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.
Men, pèp mwen an pa koute m'. Pèp Izrayèl la pa obeyi m'.
12 So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
Lè m' wè sa, mwen kite yo swiv lide yo te gen nan tèt yo, mwen kite yo fè tou sa yo te vle fè.
13 If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!
Ayayay! Si pèp mwen an te vle koute m'. Si pèp Izrayèl la te vle obeyi mwen!
14 I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.
Anvan yo ta bat je yo, mwen ta fè lènmi yo wont, mwen ta kraze tout lènmi yo.
15 The haters of the Lord would be broken, and their destruction would be eternal.
Moun ki rayi Seyè a ta vin flate yo. Pèp Izrayèl la t'ap alèz pou tout tan.
16 I would give them the best grain for food; you would be full of honey from the rock.
Mwen ta ba yo pi bon kalite manje pou yo manje. Mwen ta plen vant yo ak bon siwo myèl ki soti nan twou wòch!
