Sòm 45
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante sou menm lè ak chante ki di: Bèl ti flè savann blan yo. Se yon chante pitit Kore yo. Se yon chan damou. Mwen gen anpil bèl pawòl nan bouch mwen. Mwen pral chante yon chante pou wa a, mwen tankou yon moun ki konn konpoze bèl chante.
For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.
2 Pa gen pi bèl gason pase ou sou tout latè. Ou gen bèl pawòl dous nan bouch ou. Se poutèt sa, Bondye ap toujou beni ou.
You are more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on your lips: therefore God has blessed you for ever.
3 Ou menm vanyan gason, pase nepe ou nan ren ou, pou moun ka wè jan ou gen pouvwa, pou yo ka gen respè pou ou.
Gird your sword upon your thigh, O Mighty One, in your comeliness, and in your beauty;
4 Moute sou cha ou, al goumen, pou pran defans moun ki kenbe pawòl yo, moun ki gen bon kè, moun ki mache dwat devan ou. Kouraj ou ap fè ou genyen batay la.
and bend [your bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall guide you wonderfully.
5 Flèch ou yo pwenti. Moun lòt nasyon yo ap tonbe nan pye ou. Lènmi wa a pèdi tout kouraj yo.
Your weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under you) [they are] in the heart of the king's enemies.
6 Gouvènman ou lan la pou tout tan tout tan. W'ap gouvènen san patipri tankou yon wa nan peyi ou la.
Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.
7 Ou renmen tou sa ki byen, ou rayi tou sa ki mal. Se poutèt sa, Bondye ki Bondye ou l'a chwazi ou. Li fè kè ou kontan nèt ale: Li fè pou ou bagay li pa fè pou lòt zanmi ou yo.
You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your fellows.
8 Tout rad ou santi bon ak odè flè jasmen, womaren ak sitwonèl. Nan palè ou ki kouvri ak livwa, y'ap fè mizik pou fè kè ou kontan.
Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia [are exhaled] from your garments, [and] out of the ivory palaces,
9 Pami medam k'ap sèvi lakay ou yo anpil ladan yo se pitit fi wa yo ye. Sou bò dwat ou, larenn lan kanpe byen bèl. Li gen sou li bijou fèt an lò ki soti peyi Ofi.
with which kings' daughters have gladdened you for your honour: the queen stood by on your right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, [and] arrayed in various colours.
10 Koute, mafi! Gade byen! Tande sa m'ap di ou: -Ou mèt bliye pèp kote ou soti a. Ou mèt bliye moun kay papa ou yo.
Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; forget also your people, and your father's house.
11 Wa a pa manke renmen ou, paske ou bèl. Se li ki mèt ou, se pou ou obeyi l'.
Because the king has desired your beauty; for he is your Lord.
12 Moun peyi Tir ap pote anpil kado ba ou. Moun rich yo ap vin flate ou.
And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate your favour.
13 Pitit fi wa a nan palè a. Ala bèl li bèl! Twal rad ki sou li a fèt ak fil lò.
All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed [as she is] in golden fringed garments,
14 Yo mennen l' bò kote wa a, avèk bèl rad bwode li sou li. Tout fidonè li yo ap mache dèyè l': yo prezante yo ba ou tou.
in embroidered [clothing]: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to you.
15 Y'ap vini, yo kontan, y'ap chante, y'ap antre nan palè wa a.
They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.
16 Monwa, pitit ou yo va chita kote zansèt ou yo te chita a. W'ap mete yo chèf sou tout latè.
Instead of your fathers children are born to you: you shall make them princes over all the earth.
17 Mwen vle chante pou yo pa janm bliye ou, konsa moun lòt peyi yo va fè lwanj ou tout tan tout tan.
They shall make mention of your name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to you for ever, even for ever and ever.
