Sòm 24

1 Se yon sòm David. Se pou Seyè a tè a ye ansanm ak tou sa ki sou li. Se pou Seyè a lemonn antye ansanm ak tou sa k'ap viv ladan l'.

For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.

2 Li mete fondasyon tè a nan fon lanmè, li fè l' chita sou gwo larivyè yo.

For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Ki moun ki gen dwa moute sou mòn ki pou Seyè a? Ki moun li kite antre nan kay ki apa pou li a?

Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?

4 Se moun ki pa fè anyen ki mal, moun ki pa gen move lide nan tèt yo. Se moun ki pa nan bay manti, moun ki pa nan fè sèman pou twonpe moun.

The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

5 Seyè a va beni moun konsa. Bondye k'ap delivre l' la va fè l' gras.

He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.

6 Se moun konsa ki pou chache Seyè a, ki pou chache parèt devan Bondye Jakòb la.

This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

7 Wete lento pòt yo! Louvri batan pòt yo gran louvri pou wa ki gen pouvwa a ka antre!

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

8 Kilès ki wa ki gen pouvwa sa a? Se Seyè ki gen fòs ak kouraj la, li vanyan nan batay.

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.

9 Wete lento pòt yo! Louvri batan pòt yo gran louvri pou wa ki gen pouvwa a ka antre!

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

10 Kilès ki wa ki gen pouvwa sa a? Se Seyè ki chèf lame zanj yo, se li menm ki wa ki gen pouvwa a.

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.
