Psalms 90
1 Lord, you have always (been [like] a home for us/protected us) [MET].
Yon priyè Moïse; Moun Bondye a. Senyè, se te kote Ou, lakay nou te ye pandan tout jenerasyon yo.
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.
Avan mòn yo te vin parèt, oswa Ou te bay nesans a mond lan avèk tè a, menm pou tout tan e pou tout tan, Ou se Bondye.
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 fè lòm retounen nan pousyè a, epi di: “Retounen, O pitit a lòm yo.”
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.
Paske mil ane devan zye Ou se tankou ayè lè l fenk pase, oswa tankou yon veye lannwit lan.
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 bale yo ale pandan y ap dòmi.
6 In the morning [DOU] the grass sprouts and grows well, but in the evening it dries up and (completely withers/dies).
Nan maten, yo vin tankou yon chan zèb nèf ki fènk leve. Vè aswè, chan an febli e fennen nèt ale.
7 [Similarly], [because of the sins that we have committed], you become angry with us; you terrify us and then you destroy us.
Paske nou fin manje nèt akoz kòlè Ou. E akoz kòlè Ou, nou boulvèse nèt.
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 te mete inikite nou yo devan Ou. Peche ki kache yo vin parèt nan limyè prezans 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.
Paske tout jou nou yo pase nan gran kòlè Ou. Ane nou yo ap fini kon souf.
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].
Pou jou lavi nou yo, yo gen swasann-dizan, oswa akoz gwo fòs, katre-ventan. Men ògèy a jou sa yo se sèlman kòve ak tristès. Paske byen vit li prale, e nou vole ale.
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.
Se kilès ki konprann fòs a kòlè Ou a? Avèk gwo kòlè Ou, selon krent ke Ou merite a?
12 So teach/help us to realize that we live for only a short time in order that we may [use our time] wisely.
Pou sa, montre nou jan pou konte jou nou yo, pou nou kab ofri Ou yon kè ki plen sajès.
13 Yahweh, how long [will you be angry with us]? Pity us who serve you.
Lache, O SENYÈ! Konbyen tan sa va ye? Pran sa akè pou kòz 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.
O fè nou satisfè nan maten avèk lanmou dous Ou a, pou nou kab chante ak jwa e fè kè kontan pandan tout jou nou yo.
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.
Fè nou rejwi pou menm kantite jou ke Ou te aflije nou yo, tout ane ke nou te wè mal yo.
16 Enable us to see the [great] things that you do and enable our descendants to [also] see your glorious power.
Kite zèv Ou yo vin parèt a sèvitè Ou yo, akmajeste Ou a pitit yo.
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]!
Kite favè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, vini sou nou, epi konfime pou nou menm, zèv men nou yo. Wi, konfime zèv men nou yo.
