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!
Se Seyè a ki wa! Pèp yo ap tranble. Li chita sou fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo. Tout moun sou latè ap tranble!
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Seyè a gen pouvwa nan peyi Siyon! L'ap gouvènen sou tout pèp yo.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Se pou tout moun fè lwanj li, paske li gen pouvwa, li merite respè! Se Bondye tout bon li ye!
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
Ou se yon wa ki gen pouvwa, yon wa ki renmen sa ki dwat. Ou mete jistis toupatou nan peyi Izrayèl. Ou fè yo fè jistis nan peyi a san patipri, jan sa dwe fèt.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Bese tèt nou devan fotèy li. Sè Bondye tout bon li ye!
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.
Moyiz ak Arawon te fè pati prèt li yo! Samyèl te yonn nan moun ki te sèvi l' yo! Tout twa te rele Seyè a, li te reponn yo.
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.
Li rete nan poto nwaj la, li pale ak yo. Yo te obeyi lòd ak kòmandman li te ba yo.
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.
Seyè, Bondye nou, ou te reponn yo lè yo te lapriyè ou! Ou te moutre yo se yon Bondye ki konn padonnen ou ye. Men, ou te pini yo pou sa yo fè ki mal.
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!
Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Adore l' sou mòn ki apa pou li a! Paske, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se Bondye tout bon li ye.
