Psalms 99
1 Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!
Yahweh est roi: les peuples tremblent; il est assis sur les Chérubins; la terre chancelle.
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Yahweh est grand dans Sion, il est élevé au dessus de tous les peuples.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Qu’on célèbre ton nom grand et redoutable! — Il est saint!
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
Qu’on célèbre la puissance du Roi qui aime la justice! Tu affermis la droiture, tu exerces en Jacob la justice et l’équité.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Exaltez Yahweh, notre Dieu, et prosternez-vous devant l’escabeau de ses pieds. — Il est saint!
6 Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.
Moïse et Aaron étaient parmi ses prêtres, et Samuel parmi ceux qui invoquaient son nom. Ils invoquaient Yahweh, et il les exauçait,
7 He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.
il leur parlait dans la colonne de nuée. Ils observaient ses commandements, et la loi qu’il leur avait donnée.
8 Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.
Yahweh, notre Dieu, tu les exauças, tu fus pour eux un Dieu clément, et tu les punis de leurs fautes.
9 Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
Exaltez Yahweh, notre Dieu, et prosternez-vous devant sa montagne sainte, car il est saint, Yahweh notre Dieu!
