< Psalms 104 >
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honour and majesty.
Kite m' di Seyè a mèsi! Seyè, Bondye mwen, ala gwo pouvwa ou gwo! Devan ou se respè, se chapo ba!
2 Who cover yourself with light as with a garment: who stretch out the heavens like a curtain:
Ou vlope kò ou nan yon gwo limyè. Ou louvri syèl la tankou yon tant pou ou rete.
3 Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind:
Ou bati kay ou sou nwaj yo ki plen dlo. Ou pran nwaj yo sèvi ou cha, yon kouran van ap pouse ou ale.
4 Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Ou fè van yo pote komisyon pou ou. Ou fè zèklè yo tounen sèvitè ou.
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
Ou mete latè kanpe fèm sou fondasyon li. Anyen pa ka brannen l'.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
Ou mete lanmè sou li tankou yon rad, dlo te kouvri tout mòn yo.
7 At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hasted away.
Men, lè ou parèt devan yo, yo pran kouri. Lè yo tande loraj ou gwonde, yo met deyò.
8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you have founded for them.
Yo kouri desann sou mòn yo, yo pase nan fon yo, y' al pran plas ou te pare pou yo.
9 You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Ou ba yo limit pou yo pa janm depase, pou yo pa tounen vin kouvri latè ankò.
10 He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
Ou fè sous dlo koule nan fon yo. Ou fè dlo koule nan mitan mòn yo.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
Yo bay dlo pou bèt nan bwa yo bwè. Bourik nan bwa yo vin bwè lè yo swaf dlo.
12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
Zwezo fè nich sou pyebwa ki bò dlo yo. Y'ap chante byen fò nan tout branch yo.
13 He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
Ou rete nan syèl la, ou voye lapli wouze mòn yo. Ou kouvri tè a ak benediksyon ou.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
Ou fè zèb pouse pou bèt yo manje. Ou fè plant moun bezwen yo grandi pou latè ka donnen manje,
15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man's heart.
pou latè ka donnen rezen ki bay diven pou fè kè lèzòm kontan, lwil pou fè figi yo fre, pen pou ba yo fòs.
16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
Pyebwa Seyè yo, pye sèd li menm li te plante nan peyi Liban an, yo jwenn tou sa yo bezwen.
17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
Se la zwazo fè nich yo. Sigòy fè kay yo sou tèt pyebwa yo.
18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
Mòn apik yo se pou kabrit mawon yo ye. Daman kache nan twou wòch yo.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
Ou te fè lalin pou l' make jou yo. Solèy la konnen kilè pou l' kouche.
20 You make darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
Ou fè fènwa tonbe sou peyi a, li lannwit. Tout bèt nan rakbwa yo soti deyò.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
Jenn lyon yo ap gwonde, y'ap chache manje. Y'ap mande Bondye ba yo manje.
22 The sun arises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
Lè solèy leve, yo wete kò yo, y' al kouche nan twou yo.
23 Man goes forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
Moun soti pou y' al travay, wi, pou y' al travay jouk solèy kouche.
24 O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches.
Seyè, ou fè anpil bagay! Ou fè yo avèk bon konprann. Latè plen ak bagay ou fè.
25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
Gade gwo lanmè a, li laj, li fon. Gen kantite bèt k'ap viv ladan l', gwo kou piti.
26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan (sea serpent), whom you have made to play therein.
Se sou li gwo batiman yo ap pwonmennen. Gwo bèt lanmè ou te fè a, levyatan an, ap jwe ladan l'.
27 These wait all upon you; that you may give them their food in due season.
Se sou ou tout bèt sa yo konte, pou ou ba yo manje lè yo bezwen.
28 That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.
Ou ba yo manje, yo manje. Ou louvri men ou, yo manje plen vant yo.
29 You hide your face, they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Vire ou vire do ou, yo pran tranble. Lè ou wete souf yo, yo mouri frèt, yo tounen nan pousyè kote yo te soti a.
30 You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.
Men, lè ou soufle souf ou, ou bay lavi ankò. Konsa, ou bay latè yon lòt figi.
31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
Se pou bèl pouvwa Seyè a rete jan l' ye a pou tout tan. Se pou Seyè a kontan ak tou sa li fè.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke.
Li gade latè, latè pran tranble. Li manyen mòn yo, mòn yo pran fè lafimen.
33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
M'ap pase tout lavi m' ap chante pou Seyè a. M'ap fè lwanj Bondye pandan tout tan m'ap viv la.
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
Mwen ta swete pawòl mwen fè l' plezi, paske se li ki fè kè m' kontan.
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise all of you the LORD.
Se pou moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo disparèt sou latè. Se pou pa gen mechan ankò! Kite m' di Seyè a mèsi! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
