Sòm 148
1 Lwanj pou Seyè a! Nou menm ki rete anwo nan syèl la, fè lwanj Seyè a! Fè lwanj li anwo nan syèl la!
Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you in the heights.
2 Se pou nou tout zanj li yo fè lwanj li. Se pou nou tout lame ki nan syèl la fè lwanj li.
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
3 Solèy ak lalin, fè lwanj li! Zetwal k'ap klere nan syèl la, fè lwanj li!
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.
4 Se pou yo fè lwanj li anwo nèt nan syèl la. Se pou tout dlo ki pi wo pase syèl la fè lwanj li.
Praise him, highest heaven and you waters that are above the sky.
5 Se pou yo tout fè lwanj Seyè a! Paske, li annik pase yon lòd, epi tout bagay fèt.
Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for he gave the command, and they were created.
6 Li mete yo chak nan plas yo pou tout tan. Li ba yo yon lòd, yo pa ka pa obeyi l'.
He has also established them forever and ever; he issued a decree that will never change.
7 Se pou tout bagay ki sou latè fè lwanj li: gwo bèt lanmè ansanm ak fon lanmè a,
Praise him from the earth, you sea monsters and all ocean depths,
8 dife ak lagrèl, lanèj ak vapè, gwo van k'ap fè sa li di yo fè,
fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling his word.
9 gwo mòn kou ti mòn, pyebwa k'ap donnen ak tout gwo pye sèd yo,
Praise him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 tout bèt nan bwa, tout bèt domestik, tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant, ak tout zwezo k'ap vole nan syèl.
animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.
11 Fè lwanj li, nou menm wa yo ak tout pèp ki sou latè, chèf ak nou tout k'ap dirije lèzòm,
Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all who govern on the earth,
12 jenn fi kou jenn gason, granmoun kou timoun.
both young men and young women, elderly and children.
13 Se pou nou tout fè lwanj Seyè a, paske li gen yon non ki pi gwo pase tout lòt non. Pouvwa li pi wo pase syèl la ak latè a.
Let them all praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted and his glory extends over the earth and the heavens.
14 Li rebay pèp li a fòs ankò. Sa te yon lwanj pou tout moun k'ap sèvi l' yo, pou pitit Izrayèl yo, pou pèp li renmen anpil la. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
He has lifted up the horn of his people for praise from all his faithful ones, the Israelites, the people near to him. Praise Yahweh.
