Sòm 46
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon chante pitit Kore yo pou yo chante tou dousman. Se Bondye ki tout pwoteksyon nou, se li menm ki tout fòs nou. Li toujou pare pou ban nou sekou lè nou anba tray.
God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
2 Se poutèt sa, nou te mèt wè tè a ap tranble, nou te mèt wè mòn yo ap chavire tonbe nan mitan lanmè, nou pa bezwen pè anyen.
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 Nou te mèt wè lanm lanmè yo move, y'ap kimen, jouk mòn yo rive tranble lè lanmè a ap frape sou rivay la, nou pa bezwen pè.
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
4 Gen yon gwo dlo larivyè k'ap koule pou fè kè moun kontan nan lavil Bondye a, sèl kote ki apa nèt pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la.
[Blessings that come from] God are like a river that makes everyone in the city where [we worship] God joyful. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.
5 Bondye nan mitan lavil la, lavil la p'ap janm brannen. Depi granmaten, Bondye ap pote l' sekou.
God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will [come to] help [the people in] that city at dawn every day.
6 Moun lòt peyi yo ap bat kò yo, chèf gouvènman yo pran lezam. Bondye fè tande vwa li, latè pran tranble.
[Sometimes] the [people of many] nations are terrified; kingdoms (are overthrown/cease to exist); God speaks [loudly like thunder], and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].
7 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a la avèk nou. Se bò kote Bondye Jakòb la nou jwenn kote pou n' kache.
But Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
8 Vini wè travay Seyè a! Gade ravaj l'ap fè sou latè!
Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
9 Se li menm ki fè yo sispann fè lagè toupatou sou latè. Li kase banza yo, li kase frenn yo de bout, li boule tout cha yo nèt.
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
10 Li di: -Rete la! Sispann goumen! Konnen se mwen menm ki Bondye. Se mwen k'ap dominen sou tout nasyon yo. Se mwen k'ap dominen sou tout latè.
[God says], “Be quiet, and remember that I am God! I will be honored by the people of all nations. I will be honored all over the earth.”
11 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a la avèk nou. Se bò kote Bondye Jakòb la nou jwenn kote pou n' kache!
[So never forget that] Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
