Sòm 119
1 Ala bon sa bon pou moun k'ap mennen yon lavi san repwòch, pou moun k'ap mache dapre lalwa Seyè a!
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
2 Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki kenbe prensip li yo, pou moun k'ap chache obeyi l' ak tout kè yo!
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
3 Moun konsa p'ap fè mal, y'ap mache nan chemen li mete devan yo.
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
4 Ou ban nou lòd pou nou swiv. Ou mande pou nou obeyi yo san manke yonn.
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
5 Jan m' ta renmen kenbe fèm pou m' toujou fè sa ou mande!
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6 Konsa, mwen p'ap janm wont lè m'ap kalkile kòmandman ou yo.
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all thy commandments.
7 M'a fè lwanj ou avèk yon konsyans ki pwòp, lè m' aprann tou sa ou deside nan jistis ou.
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
8 Mwen vle fè tou sa ou mande. Tanpri, pa lage m'.
I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
9 Kisa yon jenn gason dwe fè pou l' mennen bak li dwat? Se pou l' toujou mache jan ou di l' mache a.
How shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed to it according to thy word.

With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 Mwen pran plezi m' pou m' mache dapre prensip ou yo, tankou si m' te gen tout richès sou latè.
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

20 Se tout tan kè m' ap bat, tèlman mwen anvi konnen sa ou deside.
My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath to thy judgments at all times.
21 Ou rele dèyè awogan yo, bann madichon sa yo k'ap dezobeyi kòmandman ou yo.
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, who do err from thy commandments.
22 Pa kite yo joure m', pa kite yo meprize m', paske mwen te kenbe prensip ou yo.
Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
23 Menm si chèf yo chita pou pale m' mal, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, m'ap kalkile sou sa ou vle m' fè a.
Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
24 Prensip ou yo fè kè m' kontan. Se yo ki ban m' konsèy sa pou m' fè.
Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
25 Mwen kouche atè nan pousyè a! Ban m' lavi ankò, jan ou te pwomèt la.
My soul cleaveth to the dust: revive thou me according to thy word.

Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; and revive thou me in thy way.
38 Kenbe pwomès ou te fè sèvitè ou la, pwomès ou te fè pou moun ki gen krentif pou ou.
Establish thy word to thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
39 Pa kite yo joure m', mwen pè bagay konsa. Ala bon jijman ou yo bon!
Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: revive me in thy righteousness.
41 Fè m' wè jan ou renmen m', Seyè! vin delivre m', jan ou te pwomèt la.
Let thy mercies come also to me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
42 Lè sa a, m'a gen repons pou m' bay moun k'ap joure m' yo, paske mwen gen konfyans nan pawòl ou.

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
48 M'ap respekte kòmandman ou yo, paske mwen renmen yo. M'ap kalkile sou sa ou vle m' fè a.
My hands also will I lift to thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
49 Chonje sa ou te di sèvitè ou la. Se sa ki te ban m' espwa.
Remember the word to thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50 Nan mizè mwen, tout konsolasyon m', se pwomès ou fè m' lan. Se sa ki fè m' viv.
This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me.
51 Yon bann awogan ap pase m' nan betiz. Mwen pa janm dezobeyi lalwa ou.
The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet I have not declined from thy law.
52 Mwen chonje sa ou te deside nan tan lontan. Seyè, se sa ki ban m' kouraj.
I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
53 Sa mete m' ankòlè, lè m' wè jan mechan yo ap dezobeyi lalwa ou.

This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57 Seyè, mwen deja di ou sa: pou mwen menm, se kenbe m'ap kenbe pawòl ou yo.

The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
62 Nan mitan lannwit mwen leve pou m' di ou mèsi, paske tout jijman ou yo san patipri.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee because of thy righteous judgments.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Anvan ou te pini m' lan, mwen te konn fè sa ki mal. Men koulye a, m'ap fè tou sa ou di m' fè.
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68 Ou gen bon kè, ou pa fè mechanste. Moutre m' sa ou vle m' fè.

69 Yon bann awogan ap fè manti sou mwen. Men mwen menm, m'ap swiv lòd ou yo ak tout kè m'.
The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70 Moun sa yo gen lespri yo bouche, men mwen menm, mwen pran tout plezi m' nan lalwa ou la.
Their heart is covered with fat; but I delight in thy law.
71 Pinisyon an te bon nèt pou mwen! Li fè m' konnen sa ou vle m' fè.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
72 Lalwa ou ban mwen an gen plis valè pou mwen pase tout richès ki sou latè.

Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.
77 Gen pitye pou mwen pou m' ka viv, paske mwen pran tout plezi m' nan lalwa ou.
Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78 Bann awogan sa yo k'ap fini avè m' san rezon an, se pou yo wont. Mwen menm, m'ap kalkile lòd ou ban mwen yo.
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79 Se pou moun ki gen krentif pou ou ansanm ak moun ki konnen prensip ou yo tounen vin jwenn mwen.

80 Se pou m' fè tou sa ou vle m' fè, san manke yonn, pou m' pa janm wont.
Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed.
81 Seyè, kè m' fè m' mal tèlman m'ap tann ou vin delivre mwen. Mwen mete tout espwa mwen nan pawòl ou.
My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82 Je m' yo fè m' mal tèlman m'ap veye sa ou te pwomèt la. M'ap mande: -Kilè w'a vin konsole m'?
My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 Mwen tankou yon vye kalbas ki pandye bò dife. Men, mwen pa janm bliye sa ou mande m' fè.
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet I do not forget thy statutes.
84 Konbe jou sèvitè ou la rete pou l' viv ankò? Kilè w'a pini moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo?
How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 Yon bann awogan fouye twou sou wout mwen, yo p'ap fè sa ou mande nan lalwa a.
The proud have dug pits for me, which are not according to thy law.
86 Tout kòmandman ou yo se bagay ki sèten. Y'ap pèsekite m' san rezon. vin pote m' sekou!
All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
87 Ti moso yo touye m'. Men, mwen menm, mwen pa janm dezobeyi lòd ou yo.
They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
88 Paske ou renmen m', ban m' lavi ankò pou m' ka swiv prensip ki soti nan bouch ou.
Revive me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89 Seyè, pawòl ou la pou tout tan. Y'ap toujou rete jan yo ye a nan syèl la.
For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Tout tan tout tan, w'ap toujou kenbe pawòl ou. Ou mete latè nan plas li, l'ap rete fèm.
Thy faithfulness is to all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 Jouk jounen jòdi a, tout bagay sou latè rete jan ou vle l' la, paske yo tout se sèvitè ou yo ye.
They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for all are thy servants.
92 Si mwen pa t' pran plezi m' nan fè sa ou mande m' fè, atòkonsa mwen ta fin mouri nan mizè mwen.
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
93 Mwen p'ap janm bliye lòd ou bay yo paske se gremesi yo ou ban m' lavi ankò.
I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast revived me.
94 Se moun ou mwen ye. Sove m' non! M'ap toujou swiv lòd ou yo.
I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96 Mwen wè tou sa ki bon sou latè la pou yon ti tan. Men, kòmandman ou yo la pou tout tan.

I am afflicted very much: revive me, O LORD, according to thy word.
108 Seyè, koute lè m'ap lapriyè pou m' di ou mèsi. Fè m' konnen tou sa ou deside.
Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
109 Se tout tan lavi m' an danje. Men, mwen p'ap janm bliye lalwa ou.
My soul is continually in my hand: yet I do not forget thy law.
110 Yon bann mechan tann pèlen pou mwen. Men, mwen pa t' dezobeyi lòd ou yo.
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.

112 Mwen pran desizyon pou m' fè tou sa ou vle m' fè, tout tan jouk mwen mouri.
I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, even to the end.

I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
114 Se ou ki defans mwen, se ou ki tout pwoteksyon mwen. Mwen mete tout espwa m' nan pawòl ou.
Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
115 Wete kò nou sou mwen, bann mechan, pou m' ka obeyi kòmandman Bondye mwen an.
Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Soutni mwen, jan ou te pwomèt la, pou m' ka viv. Pa kite m' pran wont pou m' pa jwenn sa m'ap tann lan.
Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117 Kenbe m' pou m' ka delivre. M'ap toujou veye pou m' pa janm bliye sa ou vle m' fè.

118 Ou meprize tout moun ki desobeyi lalwa ou yo, paske tout plan y'ap fè yo p'ap sèvi yo anyen.
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119 Ou konsidere mechan ki sou latè tankou fatra. Se poutèt sa mwen renmen prensip ou yo.
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
120 M'ap tranble nan tout kò m' sitèlman mwen pè ou. Wi, mwen pè jijman ou yo.
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
121 Mwen fè sa ki dwat ak sa ki bon. Tanpri, pa lage m' nan men lènmi m' yo.
I have executed justice and righteousness: leave me not to my oppressors.
122 Kanpe pou defann sèvitè ou la. Pa kite bann awogan yo mete pye sou kou mwen.
Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
123 Je m' yo fè m' mal tèlman m'ap tann ou vin sove m', jan ou te pwomèt fè m' jistis la.
My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

125 Se sèvitè ou mwen ye, louvri lespri m', pou m' ka konnen prensip ou yo.
I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
126 Seyè, li lè pou ou fè sa w'ap fè a, paske moun yo pa vle obeyi lalwa ou.
It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
127 Se poutèt sa, mwen renmen kòmandman ou yo pi plis pase lò, menm pase lò ki pi bon an.
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
128 Se konsa, pou mwen menm tout lòd ou yo bon. Mwen rayi tout bagay ki ka fè m' bay manti.

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple.
131 Mwen rete ak bouch mwen louvri, m'ap tann, tèlman m' anvi konnen kòmandman ou yo.
I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
132 Vire gade m' non, gen pitye pou mwen, tankou ou toujou fè l' pou moun ki renmen ou yo!
Look thou upon me, and be merciful to me, as thou didst use to do to those that love thy name.
133 Soutni m' avèk pawòl ou pou m' pa bite. Pa kite mechanste gen pye sou mwen.
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Delivre m' anba men moun k'ap peze m' yo pou m' ka mache dapre lòd ou yo.

135 Se sèvi m'ap sèvi ou. Tanpri, fè m' santi ou la avè m'. Moutre m' sa ou vle m' fè.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136 Dlo ap kouri nan je m' tankou larivyè, paske moun pa vle obeyi lalwa ou.
Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law.
137 Seyè, ou pa nan patipri. Ou jije tout moun menm jan.
Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
138 Prensip ou bay yo, se bagay ki dwat, se bagay ki vre.
Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
139 Tèlman mwen renmen lalwa ou, mwen santi se tankou yon dife k'ap boule tout anndan mwen, lè m' wè jan moun ki pa vle wè m' yo bliye pawòl ou yo.
My zeal hath consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten thy words.
140 Pawòl ou se pawòl sèten nèt. Sèvitè ou gen tan renmen li.
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
141 Mwen pa anyen, y'ap meprize m'. Men, mwen pa bliye lòd ou bay yo.
I am small and despised: yet I do not forget thy precepts.
142 Jistis ou la pou tout tan, lalwa ou se verite.
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
143 Mwen nan tray, kè m' ap kase. Men, mwen pran tout plezi m' nan fè sa ou mande m' fè.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
144 Prensip ou yo se bagay ki dwat pou tout tan. Ban m' bon konprann pou m' ka viv.
The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
145 M'ap rele nan pye ou ak tout kè mwen. Reponn mwen, Seyè, pou m' ka toujou fè sa ou vle m' fè.
I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
146 M'ap rele ou, sove m' non, pou m' ka mache dapre prensip ou yo!
I cried to thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
147 Solèy poko leve, m'ap rele mande sekou. Tout espwa mwen se nan pawòl ou li ye.
I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
148 Lannwit poko rive, mwen moute kabann mwen pou m' kalkile pawòl ou yo.
My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
149 Seyè, koute sa m'ap di ou, paske ou gen bon kè. Ban m' lavi ankò, jan ou te pwomèt la.
Hear my voice according to thy lovingkindness: O LORD, revive me according to thy judgment.
150 Moun ki soti pou touye m' yo pwoche bò kote m'. Se moun sa yo ki vire do bay lalwa a depi lontan.
They draw near that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
151 Men, ou toupre m', Seyè. Tout kòmandman ou yo se bagay ki vre.
Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
152 Gen lontan depi mwen konnen prensip ou yo. Yo la pou tout tan.
Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
153 Gade nan ki mizè mwen ye. Delivre m' non, paske mwen pa janm bliye lalwa ou!
Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
154 Defann kòz mwen, delivre m'. Ban m' lavi ankò, jan ou te pwomèt la.
Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive me according to thy word.
155 Mechan yo p'ap janm sove, paske yo p'ap chache konnen sa ou vle yo fè.
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

Many are my persecutors and my enemies; yet I do not decline from thy testimonies.
158 Lè m'ap gade bann trèt sa yo, sa ban m' degoutans, paske se pa moun k'ap obeyi pawòl ou.
I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
159 Gade jan m' renmen lòd ou yo, Seyè! Ban m' lavi ankò, paske ou renmen m'.
Consider how I love thy precepts: revive me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
160 Tou sa ki nan pawòl ou se verite. Tout jijman ou yo se jijman ki san patipri. Yo la pou tout tan.
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
161 Yon bann chèf ap pèsekite m' san rezon, men se pou pawòl ou yo mwen gen krentif.
Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
162 Pawòl ou fè kè m' kontan. Se tankou si m' te jwenn yon gwo richès.
I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
163 Mwen rayi bay manti, mwen pa vle wè sa. Mwen renmen lalwa ou la anpil.
I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
164 Sèt fwa chak jou m'ap di ou mèsi pou jijman ou yo ki san patipri.
Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
165 Moun ki renmen lalwa ou la ap viv ak kè poze. Pa gen anyen ki pou fè yo bite.
Great peace have they who love thy law: and nothing shall cause them to stumble.
166 M'ap tann ou vin delivre m', Seyè. M'ap fè tou sa ou kòmande m' fè.
LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and performed thy commandments.
167 M'ap mache dapre prensip ou yo, se pa ti renmen mwen renmen yo.
My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168 M'ap swiv lòd ou yo, m'ap fè tou sa ou vle m' fè, paske ou konnen tout vire tounen m'.
I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
169 Se pou rèl mwen rive jouk nan zòrèy ou, Seyè. Jan ou te pwomèt la, ban m' bon konprann.
Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.
170 Se pou lapriyè m' rive nan zòrèy ou. Jan ou te pwomèt la, delivre m'.
Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
171 Se pou m' louvri bouch mwen pou m' fè lwanj ou, paske se ou ki moutre m' sa ou vle m' fè.
My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
172 Se pou m' chante pou m' fè konnen pawòl ou yo, paske tout kòmandman ou yo dwat.
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
173 Se pou ou vin ede m' ak fòs ponyèt ou, paske mwen pran desizyon pou m' swiv lòd ou yo!
Let thy hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
174 Ou wè jan m'ap tann ou vin sove m'! Mwen jwenn tout plezi m' nan lalwa ou.
I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
175 Ban m' lavi pou m' fè lwanj ou, pou ou ka vin ede m', jan ou te deside l' la.
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
176 Mwen tankou yon mouton ki pèdi bann li. Tanpri, vin chache m', paske mwen pa janm bliye kòmandman ou yo.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
