Psalms 72
1 [By Solomon.] God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
Se yon sòm Salomon. Bondye, moutre wa a jan pou l' dirije tankou ou! Bay pitit wa a pouvwa pou l' gouvènen jan ou vle l' la!
2 He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
Konsa, l'a gouvènen pèp ou a san patipri, l'a gouvènen malere ou yo jan sa dwe fèt.
3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
Nan tout mòn peyi a, moun va viv byen yonn ak lòt. p'ap gen lenjistis nan okenn ti mòn peyi a.
4 He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
Wa a va defann kòz malere ki nan peyi a. L'a wete pitit pòv malere yo nan mizè yo ye a. L'a kraze moun k'ap peze pèp la.
5 They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
Se pou l' viv lontan, tout tan va gen solèy ak lalin pou bay limyè. Wi, se pou li viv tout tan tout tan.
6 He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
Se pou wa a tankou lapli k'ap tonbe nan jaden, tankou gwo lapli k'ap wouze tè a.
7 In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
Sou reny li, ap gen jistis toupatou. Tout moun va viv byen yonn ak lòt tout tan va gen lalin pou bay limyè.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the farthest parts of the earth.
L'ap gouvènen depi yon lanmè jouk nan lòt lanmè a, depi larivyè Lefrat jouk nan dènye bout latè a.
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
Moun ki rete nan dezè a pral soumèt devan li, lènmi l' yo pral manje pousyè.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Wa peyi Tasis ak wa zile yo va vin ofri l' kado. Wa peyi Saba ak wa peyi Seba va pote kado ba li.
11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
Wa tout lòt peyi yo va soumèt devan li. Tout lòt peyi yo va sèvi l'.
12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
L'a delivre pòv yo lè yo rele nan pye li. L'a delivre tout malere ki san sekou.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
L'a gen pitye pou pòv malere yo. L'a sove lavi tout moun ki nan bezwen.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
L'a delivre yo anba men moun k'ap peze yo, anba men moun k'ap fè yo mechanste. Lavi moun sa yo gen anpil valè pou li!
15 And he shall live, and the gold of Sheba shall be given to him. Men shall pray for him continually. He shall bless him all day long.
Se pou wa a viv lontan! Y'a ba li lò ki soti nan peyi Saba. Y'a toujou lapriyè pou li. Y'a mande pou Bondye beni li chak jou.
16 There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
Se pou jaden kouvri tout peyi a, jouk sou tèt mòn yo. Se pou yo donnen tankou jaden peyi Liban. Se pou lavil yo plen moun tankou zèb k'ap pouse nan jaden.
17 His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
Se pou yo pa janm bliye non li. Toutotan va gen solèy pou klere tè a, se pou y'ap nonmen non li. Se pou tout nasyon fè lwanj li. Se pou tout moun mande Bondye pou l' beni yo menm jan li beni wa a.
18 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
Fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm sèl ki ka fè bèl mèvèy sa yo.
19 Blessed be his glorious name forever. Let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen.
Fè lwanj li pou gwo pouvwa li. Se pou toupatou sou latè yo rekonèt gwo pouvwa li. Wi, se vre! Amèn!
20 This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
Avèk sòm sa a, nou fini ak lapriyè David, pitit Izayi a, te fè.
