Sòm 48
1 Chante sa a, se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa! Li merite pou yo fè lwanj li nan lavil Bondye nou an, sou mòn ki apa pou li a.
A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Great [is] YHWH, and greatly praised, In the city of our God—His holy hill.
2 Ala yon bèl mòn! Li fè kè tout moun sou latè kontan. Sou mòn Siyon an, ki sou bò nò, se la yo bati lavil gwo wa a.
Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of [the] great King.
3 Seyè a rete lakay li, li fè konnen se bò kote l' yo jwenn kote pou yo kache.
God is known for a tower in her high places.
4 Men sa ki te pase: Wa yo te mete tèt yo ansanm, yo vin atake an menm tan.
For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,
5 Lè yo wè l', yo sezi. Yo pè, yo kouri san gad dèyè.
They have seen—so they have marveled, They have been troubled, they were hurried away.
6 Yon sèl tranbleman pran yo. Kè yo sere tankou yon fanm ki gen tranche,
Trembling has seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
7 tankou lè van nòde ap kraze batiman Tasis yo sou lanmè.
By an east wind You shatter ships of Tarshish.
8 Sa nou te konn tande moun di a, koulye a nou wè l' ak je nou nan lavil Bondye nou an, nan lavil Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a. Bondye ap toujou pwoteje lavil la.
As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of YHWH of hosts, In the city of our God, God establishes her for all time. (Selah)
9 Nou rete nan tanp ou a, n'ap kalkile jan ou renmen nou, Bondye.
We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, In the midst of Your temple,
10 Se tout moun k'ap nonmen non ou, menm jan an tou, toupatou sou latè y'ap fè lwanj ou. Ou gen anpil pouvwa, men ou pa fè lenjistis.
As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness has filled Your right hand.
11 Moun ki rete sou mòn Siyon yo kontan. Moun ki rete nan peyi Jide yo pral fè fèt, paske ou konn fè moun jistis.
Mount Zion rejoices, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Your judgments.
12 Mache, fè tout tou lavil la. Konte konbe fò li genyen.
Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,
13 Egzaminen miray lavil la byen egzaminen. Vizite tout pòs faksyonnè yo, pou nou kapab fè pitit pitit nou yo konnen
Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that you recount to a later generation,
14 se Bondye sa a ki Bondye nou pou tout tan tout tan. Se li menm k'ap kondi nou jouk sa kaba.
That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, He leads us over death!
