Psalms 111
1 Praise Yahweh! I will thank Yahweh with my entire inner being, every time I am with a large group of godly/righteous people.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! M'a fè lwanj Seyè a ak tout kè m', nan mitan moun ki mache dwat yo, nan mitan pèp Bondye a lè yo reyini.
2 The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.
Bagay Seyè a fè se gwo zafè! Tout moun ki kontan wè yo ap chache konprann yo.
3 [Because of everything] that he does, people greatly honor him and respect him because he is a great king; the righteous/just things that he does will endure forever.
Tou sa li fè, se respè, se chapo ba. Jistis li la pou tout tan.
4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
Seyè a pa kite nou bliye bèl mèvèy li fè yo. Li gen pitye pou nou, li gen bon kè.
5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
Li bay moun ki gen krentif pou li manje, li pa janm bliye kontra li pase ak nou an.
6 By enabling his people to capture the lands that belonged to other people-groups, he has shown to [us], his people, that he is very powerful.
Li fè pèp li wè jan li gen pouvwa nan sa l'ap fè. Li ba yo tè lòt nasyon yo pou byen pa yo.
7 He [MTY] faithfully [does what he has promised] and always does what is just/fair, and we can depend on him [to help us] when he commands us to do things.
L'ap kenbe pawòl li, li san patipri nan tou sa l'ap fè. Nou mèt konte sou kòmandman li yo.
8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
Yo la pou tout tan, paske se bagay ki dwat, se bagay ki vre.
9 He rescued [us], his people, [from being slaves in Egypt], and he made an agreement [with us] that will last forever. He [MTY] is holy and awesome!
Li delivre pèp li a, li pase ak yo yon kontra ki p'ap janm kase. Se Bondye tout bon li ye. Li merite vre pou moun pè li!
10 Revering Yahweh is the way to become wise. All those who obey [his commands] will know what is good [for them to decide to do]. We should praise him forever!
Lè ou gen krentif pou Bondye, se lè sa a ou konmanse gen bon konprann! Bondye ap bay moun ki gen krentif pou li bon jijman. Wi, se tout tan pou yo fè lwanj li.
