< Psalms 111 >
1 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! M'a fè lwanj Seyè a ak tout kè m', nan mitan moun ki mache dwat yo, nan mitan pèp Bondye a lè yo reyini.
2 Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.
Bagay Seyè a fè se gwo zafè! Tout moun ki kontan wè yo ap chache konprann yo.
3 Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.
Tou sa li fè, se respè, se chapo ba. Jistis li la pou tout tan.
4 A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.
Seyè a pa kite nou bliye bèl mèvèy li fè yo. Li gen pitye pou nou, li gen bon kè.
5 Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.
Li bay moun ki gen krentif pou li manje, li pa janm bliye kontra li pase ak nou an.
6 The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.
Li fè pèp li wè jan li gen pouvwa nan sa l'ap fè. Li ba yo tè lòt nasyon yo pou byen pa yo.
7 The works of His hands [are] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.
L'ap kenbe pawòl li, li san patipri nan tou sa l'ap fè. Nou mèt konte sou kòmandman li yo.
8 They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.
Yo la pou tout tan, paske se bagay ki dwat, se bagay ki vre.
9 Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.
Li delivre pèp li a, li pase ak yo yon kontra ki p'ap janm kase. Se Bondye tout bon li ye. Li merite vre pou moun pè li!
10 The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!
Lè ou gen krentif pou Bondye, se lè sa a ou konmanse gen bon konprann! Bondye ap bay moun ki gen krentif pou li bon jijman. Wi, se tout tan pou yo fè lwanj li.
