Psalms 19
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Syèl la fè parèt aklè pouvwa Bondye a. Li fè wè tou sa Bondye te fè ak men l'.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Jounen jòdi a rakonte koze sa a bay jounen denmen k'ap vini an. Lannwit sa a repete l' bay lannwit ki vin apre a.
3 There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.
Yo pa pale, yo pa di yon mo. Ou pa tande yon ti bwi.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,
Men, sa yo di a mache ale toupatou sou latè. Mesaj y'ap bay la rive jouk nan dènye bout latè. Bondye moute yon kay nan syèl la pou solèy la.
5 And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.
Solèy la menm soti tankou yon nonm ki fèk marye k'ap soti anndan chanm li. Li kontan, l'ap kouri tankou yon gwonèg ki konnen li deja genyen kous la.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Solèy la leve nan yon bout syèl la, li kouche nan lòt bout la. Chalè li bat sou tout bagay.
7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;
Lalwa Seyè a bon sou tout pwen. Li moutre nou jan pou nou viv. Nou mèt gen konfyans nan kòmandman Seyè a. Tout moun ki pa gen konprann, l'ap ba yo konprann.
8 The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;
Regleman Seyè a se bagay ki dwat. Moun ki swiv yo ap gen kè kontan. Kòmandman li yo klè. Yo louvri je moun.
9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:
Se pou nou gen krentif pou Seyè a yon jan ki san repwòch. Epi se tout tan pou nou gen krentif sa a. Jijman Seyè a se verite, yo pa janm nan patipri.
10 They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
Moun ap kouri dèyè yo pi rèd pase dèyè lò, menm pase lò ki pi bon an. Yo pi dous pase siwo myèl, menm pase siwo k'ap degoute nan gato myèl.
11 Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.
Mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, yo ban m' anpil konesans. Gen gwo rekonpans pou moun k'ap obeyi yo.
12 Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].
Ki moun ki konnen tou sa li fè ki mal? Tanpri, Seyè, delivre m' anba sa mwen fè ki mal san m' pa konnen!
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.
Mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, pwoteje m' tou anba peche mwen fè ak tout konesans mwen. Pa kite yo pran pye sou mwen. Se lè sa a m'a san repwòch. Se lè sa a m'a delivre anba gwo peche a.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
Seyè, se ou ki twou wòch kote m' kache a, se ou ki delivrans mwen, mwen mande ou pou pawòl ki soti nan bouch mwen, ak lide k'ap travay nan tèt mwen fè ou plezi.
