< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Nou menm ki rete anwo nan syèl la, fè lwanj Seyè a! Fè lwanj li anwo nan syèl la!
2 Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.
Se pou nou tout zanj li yo fè lwanj li. Se pou nou tout lame ki nan syèl la fè lwanj li.
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.
Solèy ak lalin, fè lwanj li! Zetwal k'ap klere nan syèl la, fè lwanj li!
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.
Se pou yo fè lwanj li anwo nèt nan syèl la. Se pou tout dlo ki pi wo pase syèl la fè lwanj li.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, For he commanded, and they were created.
Se pou yo tout fè lwanj Seyè a! Paske, li annik pase yon lòd, epi tout bagay fèt.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Li mete yo chak nan plas yo pou tout tan. Li ba yo yon lòd, yo pa ka pa obeyi l'.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.
Se pou tout bagay ki sou latè fè lwanj li: gwo bèt lanmè ansanm ak fon lanmè a,
8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
dife ak lagrèl, lanèj ak vapè, gwo van k'ap fè sa li di yo fè,
9 mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
gwo mòn kou ti mòn, pyebwa k'ap donnen ak tout gwo pye sèd yo,
10 wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;
tout bèt nan bwa, tout bèt domestik, tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant, ak tout zwezo k'ap vole nan syèl.
11 kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;
Fè lwanj li, nou menm wa yo ak tout pèp ki sou latè, chèf ak nou tout k'ap dirije lèzòm,
12 both young men and maidens; old men and children:
jenn fi kou jenn gason, granmoun kou timoun.
13 let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
Se pou nou tout fè lwanj Seyè a, paske li gen yon non ki pi gwo pase tout lòt non. Pouvwa li pi wo pase syèl la ak latè a.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD.
Li rebay pèp li a fòs ankò. Sa te yon lwanj pou tout moun k'ap sèvi l' yo, pou pitit Izrayèl yo, pou pèp li renmen anpil la. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
