Psalms 77
1 I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.
Pou direktè koral la: pou Jeduthun. Yon Sòm Asaph Vwa m leve vè Bondye! Mwen kriye pou sekou. Vwa m leve vè Bondye pou L tande mwen.
2 Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord; all during the night I lift up my hands while I pray, [but] nothing causes me to be comforted.
Nan jou gwo twoub mwen an, mwen te chache SENYÈ a. Nan nwit, mwen te lonje men m san poze. Nanm mwen te refize rekonfòte.
3 When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.
Lè mwen sonje Bondye, alò, lespri m twouble. Mwen fè soupi; lespri m febli nèt.
4 [All during the night] he prevents me from sleeping; I am very worried, with the result that I do not know what to say.
Ou te kenbe zye mwen yo louvri. Mwen tèlman twouble ke m pa kab pale.
5 I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.
Mwen te reflechi sou jou lansyen yo, ane lontan yo.
6 I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
Chanson mwen, mwen va sonje pandan lannwit. Mwen reflechi tout tan nan kè mwen. Lespri m reflechi jis rive nan fon kè m:
7 “Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
“Èske Senyè a va rejte nou pou tout tan? Èske Li p ap janm kite favè Li vini sou nou ankò?
8 Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?
Èske lanmou dous Li a kite nou pou tout tan? Èske pwomès Li yo fini nèt?
9 God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that? Because he is angry [with us], has he decided to not be kind to us?”
Èske Bondye te bliye gras Li, Oswa nan kòlè Li, èske Li te retire mizerikòd Li a?” Tan
10 Then I said, “What causes me to be [very] sad is that [it seems that] God, who is greater than any other god, is no longer powerful.”
Epi mwen te di: “Se chagren mwen ki fè m panse men dwat a Wo Pwisan an vin chanje.”
11 [But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.
Mwen va sonje zèv SENYÈ yo. Anverite, Mwen va sonje mèvèy Ou yo nan tan ansyen yo.
12 I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.
Mwen va reflechi tout tan sou tout zèv Ou yo, pou m sonje nan kè m tout sa Ou te fè.
13 God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!
Chemen Ou a, O Bondye, se apa. Ki dye ki gran tankou Bondye pa nou an?
14 You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.
Ou se Bondye ki fè zèv mèvèy. Ou te fè pwisans Ou rekonèt pami pèp yo.
15 By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.
Avèk pwòp pouvwa Ou, Ou te rachte pèp Ou a, fis a Jacob yo avèk Joseph. Tan
16 [It was as though] the waters [of the Red Sea] saw you and became very afraid, and even the deepest part of the water shook.
Dlo yo te wè Ou, O Bondye. Dlo yo te wè Ou. Yo te nan gran doulè. Anplis, fon yo te boulvèse.
17 Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.
Nwaj yo te vide gwo dlo. Syèl yo te bay gwo kout loray. Flèch Ou yo te lime pa isit e pa lòtbò.
18 Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].
Bwi tonnè a eklate nan toubiyon an. Loray yo te klere tout tè a. Mond lan te tranble. Li te souke.
19 [Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.
Chemen Ou an te nan lanmè a, e vwa Ou nan dlo pwisan yo. Kote Ou mache p ap kab dekouvri menm.
20 You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].
Ou te dirije pèp Ou a tankou yon bann, pa men Moïse avèk Aaron.
