< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Wi, kite m' fè lwanj Seyè a!
2 I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.
M'ap pase tout lavi m' ap fè lwanj Seyè a. M'ap chante pou Bondye mwen pandan tout tan m'ap viv.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.
Pa mete konfyans nou nan grannèg, nan moun ki pa ka delivre nou.
4 His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.
Kou souf yo koupe, yo tounen pousyè. Lamenm, tou sa yo te gen nan tèt yo disparèt.
5 Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.
Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki gen Bondye Jakòb la pou tout sekou l', pou moun ki mete tout espwa l' nan Seyè a, Bondye li!
6 Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:
Se li menm ki fè syèl la, tè a ak lanmè a, ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan yo. L'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.
7 Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.
Li rann jistis an favè tout moun k'ap sibi lenjistis. Li bay tout moun ki grangou manje pou yo manje.
8 The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.
Seyè a fè prizonye yo soti nan prizon. Seyè a fè avèg yo wè ankò. Li bay tout moun ki nan lafliksyon kouraj. Seyè a renmen moun ki mache dwat devan li.
9 The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.
Seyè a pwoteje etranje k'ap viv nan peyi a. L'ap pran swen vèv yo ak timoun ki san papa yo. Men, li detounen plan mechan yo gen nan tèt yo.
10 The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
Seyè a ap gouvènen pou tout tan. Nou menm, moun Siyon, Bondye nou an ap gouvènen pou tout tan. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
