Psalms 90
1 Lord, you have always (been [like] a home for us/protected us) [MET].
Lapriyè Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a. Seyè, ou te toujou yon pwoteksyon pou nou depi sou tan zansèt nou yo jouk koulye a.
2 Before you created the mountains, before you formed the earth and everything that is in it, you were eternally God, and you will be God forever.
Anvan menm ou te kreye mòn yo, anvan ou te fè latè ak tout sa ki ladan l', depi tout tan ak pou tout tan se Bondye ou ye.
3 [When people die], you cause their corpses to become soil again; you change their corpses to become dirt like [the first man] was created from.
Ou di moun se pou yo tounen sa yo te ye. Ou fè yo tounen pousyè ankò.
4 When you (consider/think about) time, 1,000 years are [as short as] [SIM] one day which passes; [you consider that] [HYP] they are as short as a few hours in the night.
Milan (1.000 an) pa anyen pou ou, se tankou yon jou. Se tankou jounen ayè ki fin pase a, se tankou yon ti kadè nan mitan lannwit.
5 You cause people suddenly to die [MET]; they [live only a short time], like a dream lasts only a short time. They are like grass/weeds [SIM] that grow up.
Ou fè yo pase tankou yon rèv, tankou pye zèb ki leve yon jou maten.
6 In the morning [DOU] the grass sprouts and grows well, but in the evening it dries up and (completely withers/dies).
Li grandi, li fleri, nan aswè li fennen, li cheche.
7 [Similarly], [because of the sins that we have committed], you become angry with us; you terrify us and then you destroy us.
Lè ou ankòlè, se fini ou fini ak nou. Lè ou move, ou fè kè nou kase.
8 [It is as though] you place our sins in front of you, you spread out even our secret sins where you can see them.
Ou mete devan je ou tou sa nou fè ki mal, ou mete peche nou fè an kachèt yo aklè devan ou.
9 Because you are angry with us, you cause our lives to end; the years that we live pass as quickly as a sigh does.
Ou koupe sou lavi nou paske ou ankòlè. Anvan nou bat je nou, lavi nou fini.
10 People live for only 70 years; but if they are strong, some of them live for 80 years. But even during good years we have much pain and troubles; our lives soon end, and we die [EUP].
Dènye bout nou se swasanndizan. Si nou gen bon sante, n'a wè katreventan. Men, avantaj nou jwenn nan tou sa se sèlman tray ak mizè. Talè konsa nou fin viv, n' al fè wout nou.
11 No one [RHQ] has fully experienced the powerful things you can do to them when you are angry with them, and people are not afraid that you will greatly punish them because of your being angry with them.
Kilès ki konnen jan ou ka ankòlè? Kilès ki konnen jan pou yo pè ou lè ou move?
12 So teach/help us to realize that we live for only a short time in order that we may [use our time] wisely.
Moutre nou pou nou pa bliye jan lavi nou kout, pou nou kapab chache konprann tout bagay.
13 Yahweh, how long [will you be angry with us]? Pity us who serve you.
Seyè, kilè w'a tounen? Gen pitye pou sèvitè ou yo.
14 Each morning show us that your faithfully loving us is enough for us in order that we may shout joyfully and be happy for the rest of our lives.
Chak maten, voye benediksyon ou sou nou! Konsa, n'a chante, n'a toujou gen kè kontan.
15 Cause us to now be as happy for as many years as you (afflicted us/caused us to be sad) and we experienced troubles.
Koulye a fè kè nou kontan pou menm kantite jou ou te ban nou lapenn, pou menm kantite lanne nou pase nan mizè.
16 Enable us to see the [great] things that you do and enable our descendants to [also] see your glorious power.
Fè moun k'ap sèvi ou yo wè sa ou ka fè. Fè pitit pitit yo wè jan ou gen pouvwa.
17 Lord, our God, give us your blessings and enable us to be successful; yes, cause us to be successful in [everything] that we do [DOU]!
Seyè, Bondye nou, pa sispann ban nou favè ou. Fè nou reyisi nan tou sa n'ap fè. Wi, fè nou reyisi nan tou sa n'ap fè.
