Psalms 146
1 Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
Alléluia! Mon âme, célèbre le Seigneur.
2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
Je veux célébrer l’Eternel ma vie durant, chanter mon Dieu tant que j’existerai.
3 [You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
Ne placez pas votre confiance dans les grands, dans le fils d’Adam, impuissant à secourir.
4 And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.
Que son souffle se retire de lui, il rentre dans sa poussière: le jour même ses projets sont anéantis.
5 But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
Heureux qui a pour appui le Dieu de Jacob, et met son espoir en l’Eternel, son Dieu!
6 He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
Il a fait le ciel, la terre, la mer et tout ce qu’ils contiennent; il est éternellement fidèle à sa parole,
7 He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.
fait valoir le droit des opprimés, donne du pain à ceux qui ont faim; l’Eternel met en liberté les prisonniers.
8 Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
L’Eternel rend la vue aux aveugles, l’Eternel redresse ceux qui sont courbés. L’Eternel aime les justes;
9 Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].
l’Eternel veille sur les étrangers, soutient l’orphelin et la veuve, tandis qu’il bouleverse la vie des pervers.
10 Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
Le Seigneur régnera à jamais, ton Dieu, ô Sion, d’âge en âge. Alléluia!
