Psalms 95
1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
Vini non, ann fè kè nou kontan, ann chante pou Seyè a! Ann fè fèt pou moun k'ap pwoteje nou an, pou moun k'ap delivre nou an!
2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
Ann parèt devan li pou nou di l' mèsi! Ann chante yon chante pou fè lwanj li!
3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
Paske, Seyè a se yon Bondye ki gen pouvwa, se yon gwo wa sou tout lòt bondye yo.
4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
Se li menm ki kenbe fondasyon tè a nan men l'. Se pou li tout tèt mòn yo ye tou.
5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
Se pou li lanmè a ye, paske se li ki fè l', latè a tou, paske se li ki ba l' fòm ak men l'.
6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
Vini non! Ann bese tèt nou devan li, ann adore li! Ann tonbe ajenou devan Seyè ki kreye nou an!
7 He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
Se li ki Bondye nou, se pèp li nou ye, l'ap pran swen nou tankou mouton ki nan savann li. Si sèlman nou te vle tande jòdi a sa l'ap di nou:
8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
-Pa kenbe tèt ak mwen, tankou zansèt nou yo te fè l' lè yo te bò sous dlo Meriba a, tankou yo te fè l' jou sa a nan dezè a bò Masa.
9 There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
Lè sa a, yo te vle wè jouk ki bò mwen ye ak yo, yo te sonde m', malgre yo te deja wè tou sa mwen te fè pou yo.
10 For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
Pandan karantan, ras moun sa yo ban m' degoutans. Mwen te di: Y'ap fè move lide nan tèt yo. Yo derefize obeyi kòmandman mwen yo.
11 So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
Se sak fè, lè m' te ankòlè a, mwen sèmante yo p'ap janm mete pye yo kote pou yo pran repo ansanm ak mwen an.
