< Sòm 125 >
1 Se yon chante pou yo chante lè y'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm. Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a, yo tankou mòn Siyon an. Tankou l', yo p'ap janm brannen, y'ap la pou tout tan.
[A Song of Ascents.] Those who trust in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.
2 Menm jan mòn sou rebò lavil Jerizalèm yo pwoteje lavil la, se konsa Seyè a ap pwoteje pèp li a depi koulye a ak pou tout tan.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Jehovah surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.
3 Non. Mechan yo p'ap gouvènen pou tout tan sou peyi ki pou moun k'ap mache dwat yo. Si se pa sa, moun k'ap mache dwat yo ka rive fè sa ki mal.
For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.
4 Seyè, aji byen avèk moun k'ap fè byen, avèk moun k'ap mennen yon lavi san repwòch.
Do good, Jehovah, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
5 Men, kanta pou moun ki vire do ba ou yo pou swiv chemen kwochi, se pou ou disparèt yo ansanm ak tout moun k'ap fè mechanste. Benediksyon Bondye sou pèp Izrayèl la.
But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
