< Psalms 106 >
1 Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Wi, lwanj pou Seyè a paske li bon: li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou.
2 Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?
Ki moun ki ka rakonte tout gwo bagay Seyè a fè? Ki moun ki ka fin fè lwanj li?
3 Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.
Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki fè sa Bondye mande l' fè, ki toujou ap fè sa ki dwat devan li!
4 Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;
Seyè, jan ou gen kè sansib pou pèp ou a, pa bliye m'. Pa bliye m', lè w'ap vin delivre yo.
5 That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.
Konsa, m'a wè jan moun ou chwazi yo alèz. M'a fè kè m' kontan ansanm ak pèp ou a. M'a pran plezi m' ansanm ak moun ki pou ou yo.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.
Tankou zansèt nou yo, nou te peche, nou te fè mechanste, nou te fè sa ki mal.
7 Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Lè zansèt nou yo te nan peyi Lejip, yo pa t' konprann mirak ou te fè pou yo. Yo te bliye jan ou te renmen yo, yo leve dèyè Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, lè yo te bò Lanmè Wouj la.
8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
Men, li te sove yo pou sa sèvi yon lwanj pou li, pou l' moutre jan li gen pouvwa.
9 And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
Li te pase Lanmè Wouj la lòd, lanmè a cheche. Li fè pèp li mache nan fon lanmè a tankou si se te nan yon dezè.
10 And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Li sove yo anba men moun ki te rayi yo, li delivre yo anba men lènmi yo.
11 And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left.
Dlo a neye tout lènmi yo. Pa gen yonn ki chape.
12 Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.
Se lè sa a pèp li a vin kwè sa l' te di a, yo chante pou fè lwanj li.
13 They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel;
Men, lamenm, yo bliye sa l' te fè pou yo. Yo pa t' tann li fin fè pou yo sa l' te gen nan lide l'.
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried God in the desert.
Yo kite lanvi pran pye sou yo nan dezè a, yo t'ap gade ki bò Bondye ye ak yo.
15 And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
Se konsa, Bondye ba yo sa yo te mande l' la. Men, li voye yon move maladi sou yo pou touye yo.
16 They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.
Antan yo la nan dezè a yo te rayi sò Moyiz ak sò Arawon, sèvitè Bondye te chwazi a.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
Se konsa latè a fann, li vale Datan, li fèmen sou Abiram ansanm ak tout moun ki te fè bann ak li yo.
18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
Dife grennen sou tout bann lan, li boule tout mechan yo.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
Lè yo te Orèb, yo fè pòtre yon ti towo bèf, yo adore zidòl yo te fè ak lò a.
20 Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
Yo pran lwanj ki pou Bondye a bay yon pòtre bèf ki manje zèb.
21 They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
Yo bliye Bondye ki te delivre yo a, avèk gwo mèvèy li te fè nan peyi Lejip,
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.
mirak li te fè nan peyi Kam lan, mèvèy li tè fè bò Lanmè Wouj la.
23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
Se konsa Bondye di l'ap detwi pèp li a. Men, Moyiz, moun li te chwazi a, kanpe devan li. Li mande l' pou l' pa fè kòlè jouk pou li ta detwi yo.
24 Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, they believed not His word;
Yo pa t' vle tande pale sou peyi kote pou yo jwenn tout bon bagay la paske yo pa t' kwè pawòl Bondye.
25 And they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
Yo rete anba tant yo, y'ap bougonnen. Yo pa t' vle koute Seyè a.
26 Therefore He swore concerning them, that He would overthrow them in the wilderness;
Lè sa a, Seyè a leve men l', li sèmante l'ap fè yo peri nan dezè a.
27 And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
L'ap gaye tout pitit pitit yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, l'ap kite yo mouri toupatou nan peyi etranje.
28 They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Men, pèp Bondye a mete tèt yo ansanm pou y' al adore Baal lavil Peyò. Yo manje bèt yo te touye ofri bay mò yo.
29 Thus they provoked Him with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.
Sa te moute kolè Seyè a anpil sou yo lè li wè sa yo t'ap fè. Se poutèt sa maladi tonbe sou yo.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
Men, Fineas leve, li mete lòd, li pini koupab yo, epi pèp la geri.
31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for ever.
Bagay sa ki rive a te fè yo bay Fineas rezon depi lè sa a pou tout tan.
32 They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses because of them;
Pèp la te fè Seyè a fache anpil bò sous dlo Meriba a. Sa te fè Moyiz lapenn pou yo.
33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.
Sa te fè Moyiz sitèlman fache, li te rive fè bagay li pa t' gen dwa fè.
34 They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them;
Yo pa t' detwi moun lòt nasyon yo jan Seyè a te mande yo fè a.
35 But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works;
Men, okontrè, yo te marye ak yo, yo pran tout vye mès yo.
36 And they served their idols, which became a snare unto them;
Yo pran adore zidòl yo. Sa tounen yon pèlen pou yo.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
Yo ofri pwòp pitit gason ak pwòp pitit fi yo pou touye bay zidòl yo.
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
Yo touye ti inonsan sa yo, pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Yo ofri yo bay zidòl moun peyi Kanaran yo. Se konsa yo fin derespekte tout peyi a ak san moun yo te touye.
39 Thus were they defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.
Avèk sa yo t'ap fè a, yo avili tèt yo, yo vire do bay Bondye.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.
Seyè a te fache anpil sou pèp li a. Li te degoute ak pitit li yo.
41 And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them.
Li lage yo nan men moun lòt nasyon yo. Moun ki te rayi yo mete pye sou kou yo.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were subdued under their hand.
Lènmi yo t'ap peze yo, yo te soumèt yo nèt anba men yo.
43 Many times did He deliver them; but they were rebellious in their counsel, and sank low through their iniquity.
Seyè a te delivre pèp li a anpil fwa. Men, yo te pito revòlte kont li, yo te tonbe pi mal nan fè peche.
44 Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, when He heard their cry;
Men, Seyè a te wè mizè yo, li te tande jan y'ap rele.
45 And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.
Li chonje kontra li te pase ak yo, li gen pitye pou yo paske li renmen yo anpil.
46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captive.
Li fè moun ki te kenbe yo prizonye gen pitye pou yo.
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.
Delivre nou non, Seyè, Bondye nou. Fè nou soti nan tout peyi kote nou gaye yo. Sanble nou non, pou nou ka di ou mèsi pou tout bagay ou menm ase ou ka fè, pou nou ka kontan lè n'ap fè lwanj ou.
48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Ann fè lwanj li depi tout tan ak pou tout tan! Epi tout pèp la pran reponn: Wi, se vre! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
