Psalms 81
1 “To the chief musician upon Gittith; by Assaph.” Sing aloud unto God our strength: shout joyfully unto the God of Jacob.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou lè chante yo chante lè y'ap kraze rezen. Se yon sòm Asaf. Chante ak kè kontan pou Bondye ki tout defans nou! Fè fèt pou Bondye Jakòb la!
2 Lift up psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Konmanse chante a. Bat tanbouren yo! Jwe bèl mizik sou gita ak bandjo yo.
3 Blow on the new moon the cornet, at the time appointed, on the day of our feast.
Kònen twonpèt pou anonse fèt la, lè lalin lan nouvèl, ak lè li plenn!
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance by the God of Jacob.
Se yon lwa nan peyi Izrayèl, se yon lòd Bondye Jakòb la bay!
5 As a testimony in Joseph did he ordain it, when he went out over the land of Egypt. The language of one I had not known did I hear.
Bondye te fè sa tounen yon lwa pou pitit pitit Jozèf yo lè li te fè yo soti nan peyi Lejip la. Mwen tande yon vwa mwen pa rekonèt ki di m' konsa:
6 I removed from the burden his shoulder: his hands left behind the burden-basket.
Se mwen ki te wete gwo chay lou ki te sou zepòl nou an. Se mwen ki te fè nou mete panyen yo atè.
7 In distress thou didst call, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret of the thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Lè nou te anba tray, nou te rele m', mwen te delivre nou. Mwen reponn nou nan loraj kote m' te kache a. Mwen te vle wè sou ki pye nou ye avè m', lè nou te bò sous dlo Meriba a.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will give warning unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldst but hearken unto me!
Koute m' non lè m'ap avèti nou, pèp mwen! Pèp Izrayèl, poukisa nou pa vle koute m'!
9 There shall not be among thee a foreign God; nor shalt thou bow thyself down to any strange God.
Piga nou janm sèvi lòt bondye, piga nou janm adore bondye lòt nasyon yo!
10 I am the Lord thy God, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open wide thy mouth, and I will fill it.
Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se mwen menm ki te fè nou kite peyi Lejip la. Louvri bouch nou, m'a plen l' ak pawòl mwen!
11 But my people did not hearken to my voice; and Israel was not willing [to follow] me.
Men, pèp mwen an pa koute m'. Pèp Izrayèl la pa obeyi m'.
12 So I let them go in the stubbornness of their own hearts: and they walked in their own counsels.
Lè m' wè sa, mwen kite yo swiv lide yo te gen nan tèt yo, mwen kite yo fè tou sa yo te vle fè.
13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
Ayayay! Si pèp mwen an te vle koute m'. Si pèp Izrayèl la te vle obeyi mwen!
14 In a little while would I subdue their enemies, and against their adversaries would I turn my hand.
Anvan yo ta bat je yo, mwen ta fè lènmi yo wont, mwen ta kraze tout lènmi yo.
15 The haters of the Lord should offer flattery unto him; but their time should endure for ever.
Moun ki rayi Seyè a ta vin flate yo. Pèp Izrayèl la t'ap alèz pou tout tan.
16 And he would feed him with the best of wheat: and out of the rock would I satisfy thee with honey.
Mwen ta ba yo pi bon kalite manje pou yo manje. Mwen ta plen vant yo ak bon siwo myèl ki soti nan twou wòch!
