< Psalms 90 >

1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Yon priyè Moïse; Moun Bondye a. Senyè, se te kote Ou, lakay nou te ye pandan tout jenerasyon yo.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
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 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
Ou fè lòm retounen nan pousyè a, epi di: “Retounen, O pitit a lòm yo.”
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Paske mil ane devan zye Ou se tankou ayè lè l fenk pase, oswa tankou yon veye lannwit lan.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth.
Ou bale yo ale pandan y ap dòmi.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
Nan maten, yo vin tankou yon chan zèb nèf ki fènk leve. Vè aswè, chan an febli e fennen nèt ale.
7 For we are consumed by thy anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Paske nou fin manje nèt akoz kòlè Ou. E akoz kòlè Ou, nou boulvèse nèt.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
Ou te mete inikite nou yo devan Ou. Peche ki kache yo vin parèt nan limyè prezans Ou.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
Paske tout jou nou yo pase nan gran kòlè Ou. Ane nou yo ap fini kon souf.
10 The days of our years are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
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 Who knoweth the power of thy anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
Se kilès ki konprann fòs a kòlè Ou a? Avèk gwo kòlè Ou, selon krent ke Ou merite a?
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
Pou sa, montre nou jan pou konte jou nou yo, pou nou kab ofri Ou yon kè ki plen sajès.
13 Return, O LORD, how long? and repent thou concerning thy servants.
Lache, O SENYÈ! Konbyen tan sa va ye? Pran sa akè pou kòz sèvitè ou yo!
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
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 Make us glad according to the days in which thou hast afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.
Fè nou rejwi pou menm kantite jou ke Ou te aflije nou yo, tout ane ke nou te wè mal yo.
16 Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory to their children.
Kite zèv Ou yo vin parèt a sèvitè Ou yo, akmajeste Ou a pitit yo.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
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.
