< Psalms 104 >

1 Bless YHWH, my soul. YHWH, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
Beni SENYÈ a, O nanm mwen! O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, Ou tèlman gran. Ou abiye avèk bèlte ak majeste.
2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
Li kouvri Li menm ak limyè kon yon manto. Ki ouvri syèl la tankou yon rido tant.
3 He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
Li poze gran travès wo chanm nan nan dlo. Li fè nwaj yo sèvi kon cha Li. Li mache sou zèl van an.
4 He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire.
Li fè van yo vin mesaje Li. Flanm dife yo se minis Li.
5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever and ever.
Li te etabli tè a sou pwòp fondasyon li, pou l pa varye pou tout tan ni pou tout tan.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
Ou te kouvri li avèk fon an tankou yon vètman. Dlo yo te kanpe anwo mòn yo.
7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
Ak repwòch Ou, yo te sove ale. Lè vwa Ou te sone, yo te kouri ale.
8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
Mòn yo te leve, vale yo te vin fon nan plas ke Ou te kòmande pou yo a.
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they do not turn again to cover the earth.
Ou te plase yon limit pou dlo yo pa ta depase, pou yo pa retounen kouvri tè a.
10 He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
Li fè sous yo vin koule nan vale yo. Yo koule antre mòn yo.
11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
Yo bay dlo pou bwè a tout bèt chan yo. Bourik mawon yo bwè pou satisfè swaf yo.
12 The birds of the sky nest by them; among the branches they give forth a sound.
Akote yo, zwazo syèl yo va poze kay. Yo va leve vwa yo pami branch bwa yo.
13 He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
Li awoze mòn yo soti nan chanm anwo yo. Latè satisfè avèk fwi a zèv Li yo.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:
Li fè zèb grandi pou bèt yo e vèdi pou zèv a lòm nan, pou li kab fè manje sòti nan tè a,
15 wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
e diven ki fè kè a lòm kontan an, pou li kab fè figi li klere ak lwil, ak manje ki bay soutyen a kè lòm nan.
16 YHWH's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
Pyebwa a SENYÈ yo bwè dlo jiskaske yo plen, pye sèd Liban ke Li te plante yo,
17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.
kote zwazo yo fè nich yo. Sigòy ki fè kay li nan pye sipre yo.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
Mòn wo yo se pou kabrit mawon yo. Gwo falèz yo se yon kote pou daman yo kache.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
Li te fè lalin nan pou sezon yo. Solèy la konnen plas kote pou l vin kouche a.
20 You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
Ou te chwazi tenèb la e li te devni lannwit, pou tout bèt forè yo mache toupatou.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
Jenn lyon yo rele fò dèyè viktim yo, e chache manje yo nan men Bondye.
22 The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.
Solèy la vin leve. Yo retire yo pou ale kouche nan tanyè yo.
23 Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.
Lòm ale fè travay li. Li fè fòs jis lannwit rive.
24 YHWH, how many are your works. In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
O SENYÈ, a la zèv Ou yo anpil! Nan sajès, Ou te fè tout bagay. Latè ranpli ak byen Ou yo.
25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
Genyen lanmè, gran e vast. Ladann, gen gwo ekip pwason ki pa kab menm konte gwo bèt, kòn ti bèt.
26 There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
Genyen gwo bato k ap pase ladann, ak levyatan ke Ou te fòme pou fè spò ladann nan.
27 All of them look to you to give them their food at the proper time.
Yo tout ap tann Ou pou bay yo manje nan lè yo.
28 You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
Ou bay yo, e yo ranmase li. Ou ouvri men Ou, e yo satisfè ak bonte.
29 You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.
Ou kache figi Ou, e yo chagren nèt. Ou retire lespri yo; yo mouri e yo retounen nan pousyè yo.
30 You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
Ou voye Lespri Ou deyò; yo vin kreye. Konsa, Ou renouvle fas tè a.
31 Let the glory of YHWH endure forever. Let YHWH rejoice in his works.
Kite glwa SENYÈ a dire jis pou tout tan. Kite SENYÈ a rejwi nan zèv Li yo.
32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
Li gade tè a e tè a vin tranble. Li touche mòn yo e yo fè lafimen.
33 I will sing to YHWH all my life. I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist.
Mwen va chante a SENYÈ a toutotan ke m ap viv. Mwen va chante lwanj a Bondye mwen an toutotan ke m la.
34 Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in YHWH.
Kite refleksyon mwen yo fè L plezi. Pou kont mwen, mwen va kontan nan SENYÈ a.
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless YHWH, my soul. Praise JAH.
Kite pechè yo vin disparèt sou tè a, E mechan yo vin pa la ankò. Beni SENYÈ a, O nanm mwen. Bay SENYÈ a lwanj!
