Psalms 72
1 For Solomon. O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
Se yon sòm Salomon. Bondye, moutre wa a jan pou l' dirije tankou ou! Bay pitit wa a pouvwa pou l' gouvènen jan ou vle l' la!
2 He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thine afflicted with judgment.
Konsa, l'a gouvènen pèp ou a san patipri, l'a gouvènen malere ou yo jan sa dwe fèt.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, by righteousness.
Nan tout mòn peyi a, moun va viv byen yonn ak lòt. p'ap gen lenjistis nan okenn ti mòn peyi a.
4 He will do justice to the afflicted of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.
Wa a va defann kòz malere ki nan peyi a. L'a wete pitit pòv malere yo nan mizè yo ye a. L'a kraze moun k'ap peze pèp la.
5 They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.
Se pou l' viv lontan, tout tan va gen solèy ak lalin pou bay limyè. Wi, se pou li viv tout tan tout tan.
6 He shall come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
Se pou wa a tankou lapli k'ap tonbe nan jaden, tankou gwo lapli k'ap wouze tè a.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon be no more.
Sou reny li, ap gen jistis toupatou. Tout moun va viv byen yonn ak lòt tout tan va gen lalin pou bay limyè.
8 And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
L'ap gouvènen depi yon lanmè jouk nan lòt lanmè a, depi larivyè Lefrat jouk nan dènye bout latè a.
9 The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.
Moun ki rete nan dezè a pral soumèt devan li, lènmi l' yo pral manje pousyè.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer tribute:
Wa peyi Tasis ak wa zile yo va vin ofri l' kado. Wa peyi Saba ak wa peyi Seba va pote kado ba li.
11 Yea, all kings shall bow down before him; all nations shall serve him.
Wa tout lòt peyi yo va soumèt devan li. Tout lòt peyi yo va sèvi l'.
12 For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;
L'a delivre pòv yo lè yo rele nan pye li. L'a delivre tout malere ki san sekou.
13 He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy:
L'a gen pitye pou pòv malere yo. L'a sove lavi tout moun ki nan bezwen.
14 He will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
L'a delivre yo anba men moun k'ap peze yo, anba men moun k'ap fè yo mechanste. Lavi moun sa yo gen anpil valè pou li!
15 And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.
Se pou wa a viv lontan! Y'a ba li lò ki soti nan peyi Saba. Y'a toujou lapriyè pou li. Y'a mande pou Bondye beni li chak jou.
16 There shall be abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb of the earth.
Se pou jaden kouvri tout peyi a, jouk sou tèt mòn yo. Se pou yo donnen tankou jaden peyi Liban. Se pou lavil yo plen moun tankou zèb k'ap pouse nan jaden.
17 His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.
Se pou yo pa janm bliye non li. Toutotan va gen solèy pou klere tè a, se pou y'ap nonmen non li. Se pou tout nasyon fè lwanj li. Se pou tout moun mande Bondye pou l' beni yo menm jan li beni wa a.
18 Blessed be Jehovah Elohim, the God of Israel, who alone doeth wondrous things!
Fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm sèl ki ka fè bèl mèvèy sa yo.
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever! and let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen, and Amen.
Fè lwanj li pou gwo pouvwa li. Se pou toupatou sou latè yo rekonèt gwo pouvwa li. Wi, se vre! Amèn!
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Avèk sòm sa a, nou fini ak lapriyè David, pitit Izayi a, te fè.
